Displaying the progress of projects has been achieved by the use of planning outputs. Planning software,
namely the well known WinProject™ , Time Line™ or Primavera™, allow chart displays,
generally in the form of bar charts, logic diagrams and schedule reports to show it. The aim of linking Planning and CAD systems is to display in real-time the progress of engineering
projects, according its planning and control through their 2D or 3D architectural and engineering models. This paper describes and illustrates, the development of an innovative software, that, in this way, links
data from any Planning software to the popular AutoCAD producing colored 2D or 3D models of the
multiple activities of an engineering project according the foreseen or real stages - not yet done, being
done, completely done. Same application examples to different engineering projects through some screen-shots of this software
use, are illustrated. |
