The Construction module extends the capabilities of Smart Review with integrated project scheduling and collision detection functionality. For project scheduling, ScheduleReview turns data from your project planning software into a visual display of the construction or demolition progress. Use ScheduleReview together with the collision detection functionality to plan safe and timely equipment installation. Review collisions as equipment moves dynamically through the plant. Hear sounds and see objects highlight as collisions occur.

Key features:

ScheduleReview

Helps analyze and visualize the process by showing objects in the context of the overall project schedule. You can display the project as it appears on a specified day, or fly through the model and show the construction sequence. This component also allows you to visualize the construction or demolition cycle in a single step - by day, week, or month - or continuously. ScheduleReview supports the following popular planning software: Microsoft® Project, Microsoft Project Professional, Primavera Project Planner®, and Primavera Engineering & Construction. For more information, see ScheduleReview Animations .

Before using ScheduleReview, you must first install the Primavera SDK on your client computermachine and configure an SQL Server Connection to the ODBC Name PrimaveraSDK or Primavera SDK. For more information, see the Primavera Administrator's Guide for your version. Only a single user at a time can access this Primavera SDK database. To access the SDK, you must be added as a user with Administrator access rights, or be assigned the global privilege, View All Global/Project Data via SDK.

Collision Detection

Includes static and dynamic collision detection. Colliding objects can be highlighted in a customizable color. Users can play a sound file each time objects collide. Collisions can be recorded as an object (or group) is driven through the model with precision controls or moved freely with a mouse or joystick. Collision information is written to a log file for review. Collision detection does not take into account non-model tolerances, such as construction tolerances, or soft boundaries, such as pipe insulation. Collision detection runs only in an interactive mode. Batch processes are not available. For these reasons, collision detection does not replace the PDS clash reporting detection capabilities. See Using Collision Detection.

Snapshot

Creates an image file of the Main view, application window, or entire screen. Snapshot can be used to create a high quality anti-aliased image of any resolution. Snapshot includes support for standard output types like .bmp and .jpg. See Take a Snapshot.

Snapshot Animation

Creates high quality animation sequences. Snapshot can be used to create high quality anti-aliased images of any resolution. The module includes support for standard output types like .bmp and .jpg.

Volume Annotations

Provides a very powerful planning and tracking tool. You can use volume annotations to represent many types of objects and areas in the model, including scaffolds, field welds, work areas, security areas, construction parking lots, and lay down yards. Volume annotations allow you to place three basic types of geometry that Smart Review saves only in the project database. You can place boxes, cylinders, and spheres. Smart Review also provides several specialty types of volume annotations, including scaffolds (boxes), welds (cylinders), and clipping volumes (boxes). See Placing Volume Annotations.
