Reviews
(1-4 of 4)SysQue plusses and minuses
- The amount of content in their database library
- The ability to change materials after piping has already been drawn with minimal rework
- Hanger placement and point creation
- The parameters for content is inconsistent from one fitting to another. As cloud spooling and automated cutters become more and more prevalent this becomes a problem to feed the right information to a fabrication shop or cutter and causes delays in production.
- Trimble SysQue draws with generic fittings/pipe and then converts it to the selected system. The processing time for those fittings can be quite long sometimes.
- Thread-o-lets do not work correctly a good portion of the time. When detailing a mechanical room this is a huge problem.

- More Construction Managers are demanding their Subs use Revit, and this software allows it to happen.
- The cost is not cheap. However, when you have Designers that are skilled, it pays back.
SysQue Review
- Creates fabricatable parts inside of Revit
- Allows us to export hanger points for shooting with a robot on site
- Saves us time getting to coordination by allowing us to use engineers' model as a base.
- SysQue doesn't switch between elbow types on the fly very well so if you are processing a run with mixed elbow types in it, there can be some minor issues.
