A well-known challenge that the industry has struggled with when
working model-based, is ensuring that those who are out in the
field using the models on tablets get the necessary information,
such as measurement annotations. On the Highway 4 project,
COWI used Trimble Connect's API to automatically calculate
deviations between the measured points and the model to add
measurement annotations.
"We have continued developing this in Trimble Connect. In our
next project we automatically add measurement annotations to
cross-sections or position of reinforcement. In this way, we make
the models more suitable for use by the construction workers
on site. This also eliminates much of the current manual work of
creating views," says Øvstebø.
