Features

Explore the innovative features of PlantFCE, including cost estimation, 3D modeling, automated material takeoffs, and audit trails.

Complete Plant View

The Model Builder provides complete plant access to every user, only limited by their access rights. This enables optimal license management. Ideal for managers, reviewers and approvers.

Real-time Clash Check

Clash check is run immediately after a new element is added to the model. This clash check includes elements from all layers in the model. A dedicated clash-check session is no longer needed.

Real-time comments

Comments can be added to each element of the model. These comments can form the basis of activity around the element enabling coordinated and faster finalisation. This is especially useful in a distributed environment.

Browser and App based

Wherever suitable the suite of tools is available as a web / mobile app. This allows its use across a variety of oparating systems and mobile devices. The Model Builder is only available for desktop operating systems.

Workflow Management

The complete workflow around model creation is handled seamlessly allowing creation, review and approval cycle to be automated and documented. Change basis is also documented via comments which follow the same cycle.

Analytics and Insights

Provide users with detailed analytics and insights into the performance of the project, identify bottlenecks and suggest corrective measures. This enables streamlining project activities, saving resources, costs and time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Browse our FAQs to learn about our tools, pricing, integrations, and how PlantFCE can enhance your project workflows.

How do I create a model?

Navigate to the URL of the project or open the Model Builder app. The default model will be loaded. It includes a perspective camera, ambient light and a workspace to start building.

How do I save a model?

After creating a model it can be saved using the File > Save option. The model is saved as a json (JavaScript Object Notation) file. This file can be shared with others using the app and loaded using the File > Open option.

How do I add elements to the model?

Click the Add button in the app. Create a group to link elements together. Add a mesh to this group. A mesh is an element that combines a geometry and material. Once a mesh is created, update its properties and materials.

How do I send vendor requisitions?

Vendor requisition requires a vendor list and micro datasheets. It also requires the email server to be configured with the details of the sender. All replies to these requisition emails will be auto forwarded. Sending can be set up to be automatic or manual.

How does Auto Routing work?

Once civil structures, equipment, pipe and cable racks have been added to the model, it is ready for Auto Routing. Auto Routing takes a list of pipes and trays that need to be routed. Each row in this list will include a source, destination and a constraint list. Our algorithm then routes these elements based on this list, offering multiple routing options, wherever available, ensuring there are no clashes.

How do I run an audit trail?

Audit trails can be run on elements in the model, MTO and cost basis. Navigate to the element in the relevant app, right click on it and request for an audit trail. All activities related to the element will be listed chronologically. Read-only access ensures integrity of the trail.
