AutoDesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) Models

BIM CONTENT

OCC®

OPTICAL CABLE CORPORATION

OCC adds Building Information Modeling (BIM) to our portfolio of design tools

Being a premier manufacturer of innovative cabling and connectivity products, OCC is pleased to announce the addition of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to our portfolio of design tools available for IT professionals. BIM uses spatial models with integrated detailed product information to assist designers in creating three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building models. By utilizing OCC’s models, designers can analyze a structure’s appearance, performance, constructability, and costs prior to actual construction, thus increasing productivity in building design and construction.

Features & Benefits:

OCC has created BIM content to provide precise product information that allows designers and constructors to utilize accurate representation of structured cabling components for specifying. OCC’s BIM content consists of models for:

• OCC Copper Patch Panels

• OCC Angled Copper Patch Panels

• OCC Fiber Enclosures

• OCC KMJ & UMJ Workstation Products

• OCC Procyon Data Center Cabinet

All OCC Models come complete with Content Guides and the ability to customize the components based on available options. For instance, the OCC Procyon Data Center Cabinet offers checkable options to customize each cabinet instead of having to load individual panels or frames to build the cabinet required.

OCC models are now available on our website and have recently been added to the AutoDesk Seek program that allows AutoCAD and AutoDesk Revit users to instantly search for OCC products. This also allows designers to easily and efficiently integrate precise manufacturer content into a building model without having to download models directly from the website to their desktop.

OCC’s BIM technology has also been created to be fully compliant with the pending BICSI BIM Standard, Document D009 – Building Information Modeling For Communication Infrastructure Systems. OCC is committed to providing convenient and relevant tools to our customer base. Over the next couple of months, look for OCC to continue expanding our line up of available BIM models.

OCC adds another feature to our online portfolio of sales tools

Writing project specifications can often times be one of the most monotonous, mind-numbing parts of architecture and project management. However, specifications are incredibly useful; they give written form to the requirements for a material, product, or service and ensure that a project has a successful outcome. Developing a specification document is key to providing contractors, estimators, inspectors, or others information easily and efficiently on a proposed project including bidding and construction requirements.

There are many tools currently available that can assist in organizing an orderly and comprehensive specification. MasterSpec, published by Architectural Computer Services (ARCOM) for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) is one of these tools. This project specification system assists architect, engineers, consultants (ACEs) and other design professionals create complete building and construction specifications.

In earlier years, MasterSpec included communications in the section for electrical requirements, typically known as Division 16. With the latest revision of MasterSpec, communications has been given its own space and now resides as Division 27. While this increase in the number of Divisions within MasterSpec can be seen as more comprehensive, many ACEs may be thinking this just means more work.

The good news is OCC is here to help. OCC has developed an online Division 27 Spec Builder and have made it available for registered users of the OCC website. Through a series of drop down menus and fill in the blanks, users can create, save, print, and edit professionally prepared documents; taking a lot of the tediousness out of writing their specification documents.

Features & Benefits:

• Available for Commercial or Residential installations

• Select only the sections needed for specific projects

• Customizable and editable through unique document titles

• Easy drop down menus for completion of each document

• Logged in users can access started documents at a later date by returning to the My Specifications tab

• Completed documents can be printed, saved to a PDF, or saved to a WORD document for further editing.

As we move more to a digital world, the OCC website has become increasingly more important to our day-to-day business. We recognize this and are making concerted effort to create integrated content to provide customers meaningful information to make educated buying decisions. The OCC Division 27 Specification Builder is just one more way OCC is working to serve our customers.
