新的图标构建版本3 5为什么先进的编码essential to every construction professional

Christoph Lux is product engineer at Leica Geosystems AG in Heerbrugg, responsible for building construction software. He explains the newLeica iCON build v3.5,用于布局任务的软件，建造和质量保证和质量控制（QAQC）的软件。

In a recentBlogpostBernd Moeller talked about the new Layout Object app. Christoph now tells us more aboutnew coding functionalities for intelligent layout and as-built measurements.

Who can benefit from the Leica iCON build software on construction site?

图标构建是根据建筑专业人士的需求量身定制的。这些主要是建筑经理，现场工程师，工头或MEP布局专家，例如景观设计师。这些用户必须每天进行测量和布局任务。

There are 3 different groups of building construction professionals who can strongly improve the way they approach layout requirements on site:

• The first group可以手动布局。他们使用磁带测量，计算器和纸张计划，通常带有记事本，计算和其他草图，以在地面上找到和标记点。This way of manual work gets complicated as soon as measurements have to be done across obstacles or over distances larger than 5 metres or 20 ft or with any angle other than 90°. It takes a lot of time and is prone for many types of errors.
• The second group建筑专业人士的遗留措施。他们现在正在使用manual or robotic total stations- 根据建筑专业人员的特殊需求量身定制。该小组成功地克服了从总站开始的障碍。bob apple这些采用者中有许多人说："It’s paying off. Why didn't we use total stations earlier?"They appreciate the time saving factor, the layout accuracy and other major advantages, such as being able to store measurements, and simply being able to do ALL the necessary layout from ONE setup location or to make complicated changes quickly in the field with no need for going back to the office.
• 第三组starts to discover the potential of using codes and information enriched plans after being sick of calling the design office asking the same questions again and again, like“要点＃354到＃361电气还是水管？”标准化代码列表 - 意味着整个项目或公司中使用的相同代码列表 - 解锁该组的全部编码潜力。

在他们的个人数字化方面，所有人都can improve their daily measurement work considerably with Leica iCON build。

您能告诉我们更多有关在现场使用代码的优势吗？

编码是一个很好的节省时间。几乎每个在该领域进行布局的人都遇到了这种情况："Is this point a hanger or emergency lighting box?"or"Are these points representing a concrete wall or interior drywall?"通过编码，避免了现场中的此类问题。您要在地图屏幕上直接可用哪种类型的点进行布局。

Imagine doing as-built or data collection. You can code captured points, for example: "These 2 points will be existing sprinkler locations, these 3 points will be existing floor drains.” When you pass this information back to the office, the office manager doesn't have to guess what the captured points are. Field book notes turned in by the engineer get obsolete.

When coding is done correctly, it will minimize call-backs, re-work and time for post-processing.

How will the new Leica iCON build 3.5 improve measurement and layout tasks for construction professionals?

First，新版本3.5的用户现在受益于高级建模功能。信息丰富的图纸（IFC文件）可以直接加载到现场软件中。What you get is a fully rendered design model in the field。

Select a wall by just tapping on it and all the necessary points and lines are available for layout: for example columns, slabs or pipe hangers. Anything that is an object can be selected and laid out directly in the field. With ONLY, an IFC file loaded - no DXF, no DWG and no additional point file, like txt or csv, laid over top is needed. Benefit from one file, with everything you need for layout including additional properties information for each object. Just like in the office modeling software.

新的布局对象应用程序，带有3.5版，是全球，也是第一个。非常直观，它有助于在现场平板电脑上的复杂3D文件中找到正确的点。以前困难且笨重的图纸现在可以轻松解决。

第二，我们帮助用户更好地通过现场平板电脑上的2D和3D图纸找到自己的方式。您是否曾经经历过从密集包装有线条和代码的图纸上铺设的？笨拙，对吗？　With the new solution you can assign particular types of codes to different layers. For example concrete work, electrical installation or plumbing installation. Each layer can be hidden or unhidden.The user sees only what he needs for the particular task at hand。

Left: Information overload: map screen packed with everything Right: With iCON build the user sees only what he needs for his actual work.

Third, codes can be enriched with colors and symbols. Green triangles could mean emergency lighting, while yellow squares could mean building slab corners. There are 6 different symbols each available in 10 colours. If each code group has its own color and symbol, users have a visual reference.This new functionality improves readability of the map screen in the field.

带有颜色和符号的高级编码功能

该视频显示了如何使用新的编码功能：

似乎您已经采取了几个有意义的步骤，以完全数字化建筑工地。

I totally agree. Digitalisation currently is one of the main topics discussed in construction industry. In northern America, in countries like Singapore and in many European countries, BIM is already part of daily business. Many other countries will follow in the near future as new governmental regulations determine that public projects will have to apply BIM or digitalisation standards in order to comply.图标Build 3.5是根据建筑专业人员的需求量身定制的。这将有助于在办公室之间桥接BIM到现场和背部。

“查看新图标构建3.5后，我为更新感到兴奋。国际金融公司的支持是一个改变游戏规则的人。可以选择一个对象并且可以使点填充顶点，我们将不再有很多积分使屏幕上的混乱。
有了新的Zlider Bar，我们可以真正专注于我们想要快速，轻松地看到的内容。今天，我们不像行线一样使用点的布局，但是我可以看到使用符号和颜色快速区分不同类型的点将是一个巨大的优势。我真的很喜欢Leica Geosystems的方向。”

What is the key benefit of the new iCON build 3.5 software on construction site, in your opinion?

3D data enriched with digital information - the "I" of BIM - is now directly available on site. It empowers building construction professionals to transfer designs containing crucial information electronically and easily to the site, use it, enrich it and send it back in the same way. It’s offering a new way to work and increase efficiency in all steps of the construction process.

Where can we learn more about the new software?

有几个选择：

• For a quick info, visit our网站或我们的Youtube channel。
• 目前，我们正在计划年度六角形现场展览的阶段。bob体育报道因此，请计划在以下情况下见到我们HXGN Live（2017年6月13日至16日在拉斯维加斯）。
• And finally, for the best experience and interaction with the new software, please contact your localLeica Geosystemsdistribution partner to schedule a demo。

我们什么时候可以期待软件发布？

The release is planned for the first week of April.

克里斯托夫，非常感谢您的谈话！

荣幸！
