Examples of how Sitemaster 3 will start making you money

Example..... first, a measured survey comparison

Assuming that many projects involve extensions, or existing buildings :-

1) 2 technicians, using a laser based measuring tool or a tape, take measurements on-site, drawing the building by hand, on a pad, with a pencil.

2) Back at the office these hand drawn sketches have to be transfered onto the CAD system by the CAD operator

Normally if it takes 1 day to measure a property then it will take 1 day to draw it, back at the office.

Compare it to what can be achieved now :-

1) A technician takes measurements on-site, - the intelligent Sitemaster 3 Survey System converts these measurements into a completed DWG AutoCAD drawing.

The drawing is done ON SITE


Thats it ! - The building is measured, drawn and e-mailed back to the office in one process.

From - Disto to Drawing - using the capabilities of the Flybook or a PDA Phone, the drawings can be emailed back to the office FROM SITE!

 

POINT....SHOOT....DONE

More examples of what Sitemaster excels at......

Example.... Start from scratch...

Sitemaster has been designed with this as its initial aim.

Walk into a building and get measuring... feed the dimensions and direction into Sitemaster from the Disto via Bluetooth and your drawing !!!.... keep measuring...keep drawing.

Position doors into walls as you normally would, measuring from the nearest corner, work through Sitemasters dialogue box's for the relevant dimensions and it draws in the detail of the door with the swing and breaking the wall and drawing the wall thickness and the frame and also in the PRO version adding all the attributes of the door opening as exportable text. (see samples below) Place all other objects in a similar manner ... windows, openings, radiators, niches, chimney breasts where necessary Sitemaster has easy to use dialogue box's to make the job as easy and as efficient as possible.

When you're done, save the drawing in Sitemasters native .flx format or as a dxf or a dwg( also dwf and wmf available).

Example..... checking an existing dwg drawing...

Load the drawing onto the Flybook or PDA... take it to site... use Sitemaster 3 to check the actual measurements against the CAD measurements.

Example.... drawing ammendments...

Add to the existing drawing using Sitemasters Wall, Column, Opening, Room and Symbol commands (yes is has all the usual CAD drawing and editting tools)

Example data collection....

Measurements can be done using the Lazer measuring device or input manually... the direction drawn is done using Sitemaster

Any angle can be drawn with Sitemaster as it has specialized Triangulation commands that allow measurements to be taken from ANY 2 points to a third point again this is usually done using the Lazer measuring device for ultimate accuracy.

Adding door and window details.....


is done through dialogue box's....


2 Dialogue box's and you get door, swing, opening, frame (Classic version pictured)

Example data collection.....

In the Sitemaster PRO version you also enter the doors height and also have the option to place text attribute information for the door details, a comment option, which room it is assigned to and the door number is done automatically. All this data can be lifted from the drawing and exported in an Excel CSV format. This is also true for Windows, Radiators, Symbols, Room data..... see below
