Guides and articles on revision management, transmittals, as-constructed handover, and running a CDE for the drawings and models an asset owner keeps for decades.
The columns a drawing register needs, the conventions to agree before the first row, and a worked example that follows one drawing through five revisions from first issue to as-constructed.
A drawing management system holds every drawing as a numbered, revisioned record, with the CAD handling and controlled issue generic document systems leave out. What it does, and how to choose one.
ISO 19650 sets out how to manage information across a project and asset lifecycle. Learn what it asks of a common data environment, and how to meet those requirements in practice.
The Common Data Environment (CDE) is poised to reshape the roles of the Client, Asset Owner, and Occupier. Increasing volume and diversity of data in projects signals a promising evolution.
The University of Canberra is a young university with an impressive global reputation and a focus on promoting equal access to education. They chose Lunr to manage their campus documents.
Using structured data in a CDE uncovers valuable insights, gaining more control over assets and projects. Sharing information with others will improve your operations and knowledge of facilities.
We've recently added some new features to the BIM Viewer in Lunr. All users can now easily create Viewpoints and view property elements in the viewer without using specialist software.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is reshaping the way we integrate building data into digital platforms, but what is it?
Lunr efficiently tracks and captures data, putting project and reporting tools at your fingertips. Being informed by the most up-to-date system information allows a focus on resourcing and planning.
The full value of your engineering content lies in its integration with other enterprise systems, allowing your organisation to harness more of your content.
Lunr manages both 2D and 3D engineering documents on the cloud, and for most asset owners, contextualising this data within the organisation's asset hierarchy makes sense.
The BIM space is moving quickly as many enterprise sites seek to incorporate models and IFCs into their working process.
The Lunr dashboard takes into account various factors to provide a realistic indication of your project's status, so you can make informed decisions.
It's not ideal when your entire Engineering Drawing Management System (EDMS) is really just one person. Easily improve that situation by moving your engineering documentation to the Lunr cloud.
What a block attribute is in AutoCAD, how to define one with ATTDEF, how to edit one with ATTEDIT and BATTMAN, and why title block attributes matter to a drawing management system.
A look at communication methods used during the project and maintenance phases of an asset, and how Lunr allows you to tame this process and get your communications back under control.
How drawing revision numbering works in practice: which letters the convention skips, what the first revision should be, when a drawing moves to rev 0 or rev 1, and where superseded revisions go.
How OCR reads the text printed on an engineering drawing, what it pulls out of a title block, and how scanning a paper archive turns decades of drawings into something you can search.
A redline drawing is a released sheet marked up in red to show what should change. What redline markups record, who drafts the change, and how construction redlines become the as-constructed record.
Sharing documents with Lunr | Lunr Engineering Content Management
Package validation in Lunr reduces the feedback loop from drawing handover to acceptance and increases the likelihood that the original draftsperson is still on hand to make the required corrections.
Lunr provides a way to manage controlled documents through the complete document lifecycle, while still allowing you the option of uploading uncontrolled documents as required.
Lunr's document workflow allows controlled collaboration between all members of the project team, including staff, vendors, sub-contractors, and more.
Document Transmittals are a formal process used by Engineering and Construction companies to send controlled documents or drawings to external companies, contractors, or vendors.
Lunr uses a combination of search, browse, and push methods to effectively engineer content retrieval and cater to all user needs.
What a reference file is in MicroStation, what the References Manager lists, how assigning a level to a reference simplifies a combined model, and what to do when a moved file breaks an attachment.
Lunr offers Engineering Document Management (EDM) for universities, ensuring efficient project management, document accessibility, and enterprise system integration.
Xrefs are a great feature during the design phase but may become a liability when drawing handover occurs. Lunr helps reduce the liability by checking for missing references when adding drawings.
