In our continuous pursuit of technical excellence, CAD Drafting Services (CDS) has developed and integrated a proprietary, AI-powered coordinate verification system into our production workflow. This software utility scans active Revit models in real-time, verifying project coordinates, base points, and anchor placements against original survey datasets.
Solving the Coordinate Drift Problem
One of the most common issues in collaborative BIM is coordinate drift — where overlapping MEP, structural, or facade files drift by millimeters due to manual input errors.
Key features of the new AI tool
- Automatic Survey Comparison: Cross-references Revit survey points with original DWG/point cloud coordinates.
- Real-time Clashing Alerts: Notifies modelers immediately if elements cross clearance buffers.
- Automated Shared Coordinates Export: Export XML coordinate maps for seamless trade coordination.
