lol... I'm all about making my position known.
This is funny... when I read josrios post earlier today and responded to it, I hadn't realized it was led from an older thread. It's amazing how much I have learned about FMD and ADT in the past few months... and yet I'm still digging and learning!
It will be an interesting pilot. I'm proposing just taking three concurrent floors from my campus and cramming in a WIDE variety of information... to show what FMD (and I
😉 ) can do, and give the uppers a chance to decide what would be worth pursuing.
I'm actually assigning space numbers now as part of a campus-wide rollout, so that part is prep at least. I'll assign departments (but, hold off on the cost codes themselves, as I don't have easy access to that database), zone some AHU, some sprinkler specs, some asbestos locations, some fire wall ratings, sprinkler standpipes (or vales? or something like that)... I've got to find something with electrical I can do, they've actually got a couple tech-savvy guys in their shop and I want to wow them and get them on board.
You're right that FMD is DARNED impressive with it's ability to work with the different drawing data sources... We're not likely to encounter Revit spaces anytime soon from any of our contractors, but, I'd like to mock something up anyway just to show myself how it works.
😉
Oh, if the pilot is approved, I'll be cross-grading to ADT to develop my spaces... I've got my reseller quote in hand already.
:-/ I would miss the cleanup options in MAP (my current production program). but.., c'est la vie.
