Overall Satisfaction with Trimble SysQue
We use Trimble SysQue for drawing piping at a fabricable level, place hangers, and create point files. Their comprehensive library of content allows us to use a wide range of materials, connection methods, and hanger types. With BIM becoming more and more prevalent as a requirement for construction projects and the required LOD is higher and higher Trimble SysQue has been one of the tools that we have been using to achieve that.
- 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.
- It has allowed us to produce high level detailed models
- It gives us the ability to produce point files that aid in a speedier layout process for the field.
We actually use both. Trimble Sysque helps supplement content when you do not have it readily available. The water closet carrier families are very good and highly adjustable to be able to create very accurate restroom skids.
