Business Efficiency Company Launches AIA Presentation Examining How a 5D BIM Plugin Improves the Design Process

    DALLAS, TX, March 31, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Southwest Solutions Group is offering a presentation course on Fetch, an Autodesk® Revit® plug-in that stores and syncs live 5D Building Information Models, to educate interior designers, planners, architects, engineers, and anyone involved in the design process about leveraging data in design. The course is approved by The American Institute of Architects and International Design Continuing Education Council.

In this one-hour course, design professionals will explore how a 5D BIM plug-in can improve the design process, allowing them to efficiently plan space and create storage solutions with creativity and flexibility. Dynamic design features, including accessibility and safety, with real-time pricing enhance the creative decision processes from conception to final inspection. Modular design and storage solutions that reduce waste and improve the built environment will be reviewed utilizing the 5D BIM plug-in to realize the multiple benefits of this technology.

By the end of the course, students and professionals will be able to:
• Discuss the evolution of design tools and the current use of 5D BIM technology.
• Describe how the 5D BIM plugin assists with efficient space planning and storage solution options that meet all applicable accessibility, national, and local codes.
• Explain how the plug-in's "clash detection" capabilities can expose potential design issues prior to the start of construction.
• Examine how modular and other storage design options create space and reduce waste, including how the 5D enhancement improves the design process for both the designer and the client.
