Streamlining Louver Projects with Bluebeam and Autodesk
January 5, 2023
Specifying louvers for building projects requires extensive coordination across design and construction teams. Digital tools like Bluebeam Revu and AutoDesk programs play vital roles when properly utilized at both project stages.
Preliminary Design and Takeoffs
During early design phases, Bluebeam Revu enables accurate unit counts and louver measurements directly within PDF plans to rapidly develop project quantities and budgets without scaling issues.
The quantification capability allows quick takeoffs rather than approximations for tighter cost estimating long before detailed shop drawings are complete. You can instantly sum dimensions, areas and lengths.
Leveraging 3D Modeling For Shop Drawings
Later in design development and for submittal purposes, creating louver shop models in AutoDesk Revit or AutoCAD establishes precise measurements tailored to openings. This allows photorealistic rendering of assemblies within project renderings for visualization and assessment before fabrication.
The 3D models import cleanly into shop drawings showing real-world fit. AutoDesk also expedites drawing markups, revisions and version tracking.
Throughout design and construction, having ongoing access to receiving constant drawing/BIM model updates from manufacturers prevents delays for onsite confirmations if last minute adjustments become necessary.
Digital Delivery Helps At All Phases
Relying on purpose-built modeling and digital collaboration minimizes ambiguities throughout design and installation to streamline overall project execution for time and cost savings. Ensure partners like Aire Renaissance provide ongoing tracked access.
