Duplicates are a problem – an expensive problem, especially if you are dealing with hundreds and perhaps even over a thousand panels. Somebody cocks up – usually on the client side – but how are you meant to identify it?
You could manually do it, but then that will more than likely take a long time. Or you could just employ Tek1 to do that sort of thing for you. Here is a video demonstration:
Identify Duplicate Panel Names In Precast Panel Detailing from Tek1 on Vimeo.
Features:
- It can work for all clients with only very minor modifications. Very well abstracted out in the code.
- It is super fast. Comparing the thousands of elements in each drawing takes a bit of computing power – but with smart algorithms, you can cut down the time.
- It can work in the marking plan and elevation or layout. The same code, the same command, but x3 the power.
