A trio of asta developments

Editorial Type: News     Date: 05-2015    Views: 5389      




Asta Development has officially released the second version of Asta Powerproject BIM and is rolling the product out via its global reseller network for the first time

Asta has also launched the estimation tool Bidcon BIM into the UK (see the article on page 26 of this issue) and is adding to the capability of Site Progress Mobile with the addition of a web application to allow browser access.

Asta Powerproject BIM was the first product to combine 3D planning and scheduling in a single, affordable 4D application. Version 2 builds on its core capability to create and play 3D visualisations along a timeline by allowing users to:

• Separate 3D objects in IFC models into a number of smaller 3D elements - in order to associate separate elements with tasks in a timeline to reflect the realities of construction
• Split multiple times in 3 axes
• Merge IFC elements into single objects to associate them as a whole with a project tasks, where they can be managed a single item or action
• Assign build sequence to sub-sections for more accurate planning
• Work with locally-stored IFC files, in addition to those in the ELECO BIMCloud, which adds offline capabilities in addition to existing cloud information sharing and file transfer.

Site Progress Mobile will have the addition of web browser access from 1st June, adding further improvement to an already flexible site progress reporting tool. Originally designed to be a mobile tablet and smartphone-centric tool, Asta users asked for the capability to be extended for use on PC and laptop as well as on iOS, Android and Windows Mobile. Site Progress Mobile enables users to access secure Asta Powerproject files via the cloud, and work with them regardless of the availability of site WiFi or mobile data connectivity.
