Welcome to optimizing design
review with iTunes services.
My name is Joe Granville will be
accompanied by Taylor Gilmore.
And today's session,
we're going to describe how I twin services
improves your collaboration needs.
More specifically will talk
about how I twin design review
supports multiple different types
of review workflows, which will.
Demonstrate a couple today.
And then finally will end with talking
about how I'm all JS open source
development platform can extend your
review needs beyond what we provide.
Within the application itself.
So first let's step into what is
a review session now there's many
different types of them we broke down
kind of some of the fundamentals?
Your core tenants of whatever review session.
You may be doing 1st is your
visualization inspection and here
it's really important to make sure.
You're getting the right information
and sharing that with the right
individuals that need to be able
to conduct the reviews.
That they're trying to do.
When we talk about feedback.
We want to make sure that we're
collecting the feedback properly
and we're sharing it with the right
individuals that are going to take
those corrective actions or need
to make approvals or sign offs.
And making sure that nothing gets
lossed as part of that process.
And then finally when we talk about approval.
We want to make sure that we're
tracking all the changes so that way.
You're able to reach whatever
approval is needed to move the
data through to the next phase.
Of your project lifecycle.
So when you look at those characteristics.
You want to make sure they are available
in any right of Review Technology,
Oregon.
A software that you may end
up using for your workflows.
Now, when we talk about review workflows.
There are many out there for different
personnel different phases of a project.
Whatever there may be needing to do.
Will commonly happens is that?
Various different groups whether it's
by past history with their comfort
level is or what the data dictates they
will use different technologies to be
able to accomplish those review workflows.
And when it's happening is that
data falls into silos and it makes
it very hard for a project level.
To be able to look and share that
information to really understand
where your wrists are.
And where approvals need to be and where
you need to spend the right amount of time.
This is where I twin design
review comes into play.
Now I trained design review is one
of many applications that we've
built on RI twin services solution.
And it allows you to be able to
review and conduct visualization
and inspection of your data across
all those different workflows.
Be able to do it against 1 core data set.
Various different tools needed to
conduct those workflows that make
sure that all the data is available
to everybody that needs access to it.
Now,
our application like many I twin services.
Applications are built on our
I'm all JS development platform,
which we will speak about later.
Now, for today's session,
we're going to focus on 2 workflows.
They are very common and very
different in nature, so the first one.
We're going to look at
is the ad hoc workflow.
This is your team work in progress
engineering. Lots of change.
That's happening, but kind of rallied
around a small group of people.
If we look at the workflow breakdown.
You'll have an individual engineer
who will be working in the design
application of their choice.
Doing the work that they are scheduled to do,
and they may come across a
problem or need opinions.
Or comments from their colleagues
to help them continue the
process of design that they have.
Now, what we want to provide is
a very easy and intuitive way
for them to be able to take the
data that they're looking at.
Right now in their design application.
Be able to share that in
a common environment,
so that way they can invite
their individual colleagues.
To be able to look at that session
that they're working on and not
have to pick up any additional.
Applications or make sure they have
the right workspace or anything
installed they can be able to
just go into a web environment.
See exactly what I was seeing as
the engineer that I have posted.
I can then have everybody collaborate
by providing comments and sharing
of information all the information
that I'll need. In order to?
Either answer the questions I may
have or get the comments and opinions
that I needed for my colleagues.
With the goal of being able to
continue on with my design work.
Now at this point in time I'm going
to invite Taylor to come in and
actually walk through a demonstration
of how I twin design review
provides for this ad hoc workflow.
So I'm going to give a
quick demo of the ad hoc.
I twin design review workflow
where we can take a look at.
How users can very easily get started
with itune design review by initiating
a review session and will take a
look at some of the capabilities.
In the eye twin design
review application itself.
So this screen that we're looking at now.
Is showing the item in design review
portal page that is unique to the ad hoc?
Design review workflow that allows
you to very easilly initiate a new
review session to share out a design.
With users as Joe described So what
this portal shows is all of the review
sessions that users participating in.
Those that a user has created them
self or that they have been invited to.
And this also allows users to
initiate new review sessions as well.
You can see it in the Top left
hand corner of the screen.
There's an icon.
To create a new review session and
when a user clicks on that all
they have to do is simply upload.
The design file.
To the website.
And that will initiate a new review session,
we can take a look at that
here in the demo now.
The user clicks the upload link they
choose a design file in this case,
and I DGN file.
To create a review session with?
That design file will be uploaded to
the server uploaded to the application.
All the user has to do is simply
enter in a session name.
And then they can optionally enter in
some participants they would like to
add to the review session click OK.
And now that review session will be
created and within a few minutes when
the review session is ready to be used.
All of the users who have been invited
as well as the original creator will
receive an email notification like this.
Selling them that their review
session is ready,
and that they have been invited
to participate so very easy.
To initiate a review session
simply go to the website.
Upload your design file of choice,
inviting participants and you're ready to go.
So if we jump into an actual review session.
Now we can see here is a design that
has been uploaded into the system.
You'll notice as the demo plays here,
the review environment,
particularly for the ad hoc
version of iTunes design review.
Uh we've aimed to make it very streamlined
and easy for users to navigate so
users that again aren't familiar with.
A 3D interface environment are
familiar with navigating around
a 3D model can very easily.
Find the information that they need.
You can see by clicking on
a particular element.
You can open up the properties
of that element an review.
You I'm sure you also notice on the model.
There are a number of comment markers and
each one of those comment markers is unique.
Review session and is linked
over to the right hand
side of the screen where it
shows the comment list. And so.
It's very easy for users to come in and
create comments and then each one of those
comments becomes basically a chat interface.
So you can see over on the right hand side.
There's a chat session associated
with each one of those comments.
Where users can very easily?
See the comments that other users have
left and respond to those comments.
These comments are persisted
in the review session,
so at any point users can come in.
And access the previous
comments that have been left,
but it is also real time and you'll see here.
In the recording some users chatting
back and forth in real time.
It works very similar to Microsoft Teams in
that regards if you have multiple users.
In there at the same time,
it's very easy to see.
Uh it's very easy to communicate
back and forth and see what the
other users are saying we have.
Unread notifications you can
see the Little Green Dot.
There indicates that that particular comment
has new messages since the last time.
This user looked at it.
You can also use mention functionality
so you can mention a specific user.
And they will receive notification
that they have been invited to
comment in a specific thread.
In this case you'll see a user
creating new comments so creating a
new comment is very easy up in the
Top right hand corner of the screen.
The user clicks the new comment
icon and then they simply click
anywhere on the model that they
would like to create a new comment.
Then enter in a subject they can enter in a
status in a discipline as long as they are.
Along with their initial comments.
And then that comment will
be created in the session,
an available for all other users
to see and respond to.
You'll also notice each comment that gets
created as a save you associated with it,
which you can see you.
There, in the Top of the.
Chat panel.
Uh and This is another way that it makes
it easy for users to navigate around
the model so when you open up a comment.
The user simply just needs to click
on that save you and click on the
comment and that will move the Camera.
To the original location that the
commenter was looking at when they opened
that comment so it's another way to.
More easily navigate around the
model make sure you're looking at
exactly what the original commenter
was looking at when they left.
Their comment and it's an easy way
for users that aren't familiar with
navigating around to quickly jump through.
Each of the comments that have been left
without trying to navigate there manually.
So that's some of the kind
of generic model navigation
and commenting functionality.
I also want to take a look.
At some of the tooling that
is available here will
look at measurement tools,
so we have some basic measurement tools.
Things like distance and area very
easilly snaps to the different elements
in the model you can see that.
The distance that has been captured there,
you can capture multiple
distances multiple areas.
Multiple measurements if you would like.
And the great thing about these tools,
it is also integrated into the commenting
functionality so at any point.
If you are measuring something
and you see an issue.
With that measurement on the screen
when you click on the new Common
Tool and create a new comment.
That measurement that you've collected
will actually be saved along with that
comment and so just like a save you.
When users come in an open up that
comment it will actually open up.
The measurement that you were
looking at as well,
so there's basic distance area.
There's also station offset measurements.
Here we're looking into some of the
specific civil tooling so in this case,
they opened up a cross section.
By simply drawing the line across
the roadway there and you can
see we open up a second panel.
Where you can see?
The cross section kind of the 2D
cross section plane down below.
This also allows you to measure.
As well so if you need a measure of
distance or measure a slope down there
very easy to capture that information.
Out of that cross section view and
this the cross section tool along
with the measurements that are taken.
Can also be saved as a comment
so you can see here?
We're loading up a previous comment that
had a cross section of a railway here.
And by simply clicking on that save
you for the comment it loads up not
only the original Camera location.
But also that cross section view that
the user captured so very easy to
indicate issues and share those out.
With other review session participants.
All Right This is another civil
tool that we're looking at here
of a profile and so in this case,
the user selected the alignment.
Of the profile that they want
to take a look at.
And the profile opened up in the
additional view panel down there below
you can see the slope of the profile.
And it's very easy to track
exactly where you are along the
roadway you can see as the user.
Moves their mouse along the profile,
it shows exactly where the user
is at up in the model view.
The same works in the other direction.
If you're on the model you can
see the line in the profile view.
In this case, we're looking at.
A terrain model so you could down
there at the bottom of the screen.
You can see where the train appears.
In the profile view and you can see
how that relates to the model up Top,
and where the cut.
And fill areas are going to need to
be placed in this particular design.
And just like in the cross section.
View you can also take measurements
in this view,
so if you need to take a distance
measurement or an area measurement.
You can do that and also just
like the cross section.
Another measurement tools.
Anytime you capture this view.
The profile view along with any measurements.
You can capture that as a new comment and it
will be saved for other users to be able to.
Quickly and easily access when they're ready.
So we're using these tools
looking at some roadway models.
But the same tooling can also
be used on other types of.
Models as well,
obviously the measurement tools can be used.
In this case,
we're looking at the sectioning tool in
this case in a site plan and so you can see.
They're looking at the slopes Anne
how the geotechnical works will look
and how steep the slopes will be.
In the site plan and you can also
very easily relocate so you just saw
the user relocate that cut plane.
And the Section portion of the screen
down below updates immediately to
show you what the new cut location.
Looks like so it's very easy
to move that around.
Whether it's a situation like this,
or if you're on a roadway
you can do that as well.
So another thing that I want to take
a look at here quickly in the ad hoc.
Workflow is some of the
commenting functionality so.
I mentioned when users create a new comments.
They are able to enter in a
status Ana discipline this.
These status and discipline settings makes
it very easy for users during the review
to see how the review is progressing.
As well as locate the comments that they
need to review an so you saw in this
particular review session there were.
A number of comments.
That have been left and you'll
notice that each one of them had a
different color and those colors.
Associated with each comment are
actually associated to the status
and so each status that is.
Uh used for the comment tracking
will have an associated color code
and so it makes it very easy to see.
The current status of each one of the
comments see how they're progressing
through and then using the right
hand sidebar you can also search.
And filter on those different
comment settings and so,
if you are doing a review and you are
only looking at the checked or only
looking at the back checked comments.
You can easily filter those out or
search for them and that will isolate
down the comment list to only see
exactly what you need to review.
You can open up those comments if you
need to measure an additional thing
or respond to them you can do that.
And then you can update the
status accordingly.
The status and disciplines are
configurable for your organization,
so if you need to adjust.
What the status is and what the color codes?
Are it's very easy to do that
within the configuration tools?
We have some basic ones in
there that you saw in the demo,
but if you need to adjust those.
You can certainly do that.
Alright and that's that's it for
the ad hoc demo portion for today
and I'll hand it back to Joe.
All right thanks Taylor.
Now let's take a look at that other
workflow that I talked about here.
We're talking about a project level workflow?
This is now up skilled one level
above any individual engineering
team and now we're talking about
when we're sharing the collective
information across the project.
And needed me collaboration available
to do coordination an interface
checks across those disciplines.
So, in this shared environment.
It's a little bit different in terms of the
workflow so let's walk through this, a bit.
So instead of having an individual engineer.
That's working in an individual
design application here.
We're talking about the collective.
So all the various different engineering
applications that are used across all
the different design discipline leads.
What we want to be able to do
is aggregate that information
into one Federated split place?
The way we do that is being use
RI twin bridges to be able to take
individual design application data.
Be able to capture that change and put
that on a single time line so that way.
We know the whole history of
the change across.
All the different disciplines as they
are making their work in their own time.
Now this gives you that kind of linear
time frame a timeline of everything
that is happened along the project.
But you don't always want to look
at the very latest of everything
that everybody is done.
There's times when you want to set.
Milestones or specific markers within
the project where you want to rally
everyone around to be able to look at it.
For this we have the ability to
create what we call name versions to
be able to earmark and designates.
Pacific points in time.
Which I can then share out?
To whoever needs it whether it's your VDC
Department whether its subcontractors.
Whether it is your client whether
it is just the project.
Add a whole that you want to have
all project participants to be
able to view that information here.
Instead of providing files that people
need to have specific applications
to be able to open up and view.
Now all we're doing is passing around
a single URL that make sure is.
Everybody is looking at the right data.
At the right period of time.
And as the engineering keeps on evolving.
All you need to do is your mark
a new point in time.
With a new name version and share that out.
So now let's take a look at how
I twin design review provides.
It definitely demonstrate how I joined
design review provides for this workflow.
So here we're going to break
it down into kind of 4.
Key areas that we're going to go through.
So first let's take a look at the
focusing of the area of interest so this
is very important because unlike the?
Ad hoc workflow.
Where you're only looking at a specific
set of data we've collected and Aggregated.
All this information so you need
to be able to call it down.
Specific workflow or the specific
type of review your doing.
Here we're walking through an
being able to select whether it's
through individual design models
in CAD data to be able to pick
the right models that you need.
That will get you kind of a gross
approximation of the data that you
need to look at you may want to
go in once you're in the model.
And be able to fine tune that so
now we can go down into individual
categories or layers to be able to
turn on and off the display of the
information that you're looking at.
Or in certain instances be able to look
at it from a spatial containment layouts.
That way you'll be able to turn off
certain floors or area of the data.
To get to the right CAD engineering
data that you need to review.
Now sometimes it's not just as
simple as being able to turn
off certain models and levels.
Sometimes you want to look at a spatial.
Area of the project and you can do that
very simply by using our sectioning
tools to be able to clip the model.
So that way you can look at all the aspects.
Of the information,
but only have it contained within a
physical area that you want to look at.
Now that can be done by either doing
cutting planes or using section volumes
and you can see how it's very intuitive.
To be able to go into this through
a web browser without any specific
applications to tune it to what you need.
Now in Iceland is not just
your engineering data.
You can also have your reality
content as well that you can turn
on display what you need.
In order to be able to conduct your
individual reviews and then finally
for your fine tuning adjustments
that you may need.
You can select individual elements
to be able to turn the display of
those on or off to be able to get
down to the finest granularity.
Of the information that you need.
So that way all the information
that's not important for you to
conduct your reviews is available.
Now,
once you've done all that work you want
to not have to do that multiple times.
So you can use our save used to be
able to save that information and
then be able to share it with project
teams only one person would have to
create that.
And then be able to share that out,
with the rest of the group,
so that way. All they'll have to do.
Is either click on a button or
being sent a URL so that way they
can go exactly to the scene?
Them to be able to review and had
the content that they need available.
Now, once the content is kind of
pared down to what they're looking
at the next thing you want to do.
Is look at what has happened from the
last time I've done a review knowing
that almost all reviews are secular.
You're going to want to be able to know
what is happening from each period of
time here we're using our version compare?
Which leverages that linear
timeline of change that?
We talked about earlier where I
can now visualize and color code?
What is actually changed in the
model from a previous point in time?
A previous milestone that we have.
Here you can see that I can color code.
The Model Green Red Blue Green as
what has been added to the model.
Blue is what has been modified read
his bullets been deleted as well as
being able to see what hasn't changed.
Which is very important to make sure
I'm not wasting my time looking at
information that hasn't changed at all.
For my time is most effective and
optimized for what I need to do.
Now I can look at multiple points in time so.
I can just easily pick a different
point in time that I want to do a
comparison on and be able to jump to that.
And you can see how performant inefficient.
It is an it's very accurate.
Knowing that we have all of that
individual change built up.
I can still navigate around the model
and be able to see this change,
so I'm not locked to one individual view.
And in this scenario, I actually want to see.
Little bit more details about what
has changed what's been modified
more specifically.
Now add in delete it fairly simple,
they've been added to the project or
you've remove something from the project.
But when we talk about modified?
What does it mean for something to
be modified now in some cases you
may have actually moved an element?
In other cases,
maybe you just change some of the
Attribution.
So what we provide within our toolkit
is the ability to go and select
an element that's been modified.
And do a more deep dive inspection of that.
So what you see here is for a
specific modified in this case,
these garage doors, I can now see.
A split view,
which is showing me the before and after
what it looked like in the previous version.
And in the new version and I can
see in this case.
They've actually rotated the door
flipped it so that way the controller.
Went from the outside to the
inside of the building.
And then I can also look at the
Attribution and I can see what
Attribution is changed I can see.
Who is changed values whether they've
modified a value added a value
or potentially removed a value?
Very effective in being able
to know what I need to conduct
in how I would need to work.
Now, once I understand what has changed now.
It's about going in and being able
to interact with the model so I
can do my visual inspections.
So, in this case,
we now have our walk in navigation
tools available and it should be
noted that even though we're in.
Eh. A web environment,
I still have the same performance that
I would have in a desktop application.
I still have all the tools that I need.
Available to me as well so in this
case being able to do measure and
get various different analytics
that I need from the data.
Whether that is measuring distances
and clearances that I may have.
Between objects and I need to check
against requirements and specifications.
Or being able to do things
like measure location,
which knowing that all the
data is Geo spatially located.
I can actually get its coordinate position,
which I can feed 2 laser scanning device
to be able to do QA QC invalidation.
On site when necessary.
I can actually take this information and
bring it right into those other systems.
Now looking at the geometry an looking at
the graphics of the model is very important,
but the metadata and.
Of the data is very important as well,
almost more important in some instances.
So here we are able to see
all of the information.
The rich information that comes from all
the various different design applications.
Other they're Bentley or non Bentley.
And I can use this information
to do my just inspection to make
sure that it's meeting, the crate.
Requirements.
But I can also use it to help me search.
So I can look for an object and
do a fine similar so I can find
related information about it.
So if I have a problem with one type of.
Element based on maybe where it's
been manufactured or the type
of steel that it is I can find.
All the related objects that match
that same criteria so that way I
can find it quickly in the model.
And I can do any further action
that may be needed.
Now,
when it comes to collecting information
that may be needed for corrective actions.
We have tidhar issue resolution service
into our design review application.
So here when you do,
find and identify a problem that needs
to be corrected you can easily go in.
And fill out an issue instance.
What the form information that would
be defined by your project manager?
Not only can you just fill out the
information associate to an element but
you also go in and do any redlining?
Or additional annotation that
may be necessary.
In order to be able to provide the
person that will be assigned and
responsible for correcting these actions.
All the information that they
are going to need.
So here you can see how
we can annotate the model.
We still have accuracy insertions
of writing dimensional information.
That may be needed along with any
other simple redlining tools that you
may need for being able to place clouds.
Notes or any type of red lines
that may be necessary.
All of this is saved as part of the issue.
And then made available.
All issues are marked within the
model so you can quickly go to
them just using simple place marks
to be able to view that.
Be able to see all the information
around that issue be able to see
any comments that you may have.
Or may need to write about this to
find additional information that may
be necessary as well as a full audit trail.
That's associated to every single issue.
Now all those issues,
as I said earlier part of our issue
resolution service so that it can be
viewed in consumed with dashboards.
Even when you're not inside the design
application design review application.
So that again this talks about how we can.
Use our design review application,
but then also use various different
other workflows so like our PDF
review application.
Uses the same set of issues,
aggregating all that information to provide
you with complete understanding of the risks.
Associated with the project and then be
able to export that information out to
other different systems that you may have
or to PDF that can be used in RF eyes.
Or submittals that need to be sent.
So hopefully you have a good
understanding with a very quick
overview of what's available within
or I twin design review application?
For both the ad hoc and the
project level workflows.
Now, not everything is going to
be available in our application,
there's as we talked about earlier.
There's a number of different
review workflows out there.
You may have specific workflows
within your organization or project.
This is the reason why we built
design review on Top of RI model JS.
Open source development platform.
So using this open source development
platform think of I twin design review
as just an example of what you can do.
Whether that is being able to
build plugins and add new tools
and functionality on Top of our
existing design review application.
Weather that may mean unique
functionality that you need within
your organization or whether it is
unique functionality that you need.
Particular tool project tools that you
have you be able to build those or work
with others to be able to build those?
And extend our existing
design review application.
You may also want to branch
out to new devices,
the technology in today's
world is fast of Alving.
Whether that is handheld devices wearables.
Augmented reality VR headsets that
may be available all those things
you may find value in within your
organization to be able to use that?
You can use I'm all JS to extend our
review capabilities and branch into those
new devices as they become available.
Making sure that you can always
stay at the pace that you want
to with the evolving world.
And then finally.
You have repository's
of information in house.
Whether that is safety information
cost information scheduling
information various different.
Did Attribution that you may want
to provide through iot sensors?
Into your model not all of that needs
to be stored in the eye model itself.
That you can use I model JS to
be able to reach out and connect
that information and tie it in.
Integrated into your eye model,
so that way within your design
review session,
you can access that information.
Providing you the complete picture
that you need in order to conduct
your reviews or you have the ability
to actually reach into those systems.
And be able to provide additional
content edit or manipulate that
data based on that review workflow
that you may have.
All this is available by leveraging
our open source development platform.
Here's one example of that,
so we've partnered with.
Safety base, which is a?
An open consortium out of the UK
for handling risk management.
Within a project ecosystem.
So their risk registered is actually
stored in SharePoint repository
that you can download and set
up within your own SharePoint.
Ecosystem.
Here you can see that we can
pull that risk information from
SharePoint expose that within
our design review application.
