FabSuite View is a new product that encompasses an IFC viewer and a set of features in FabSuite to interact with the model.

• FabSuite View - Licensing
• FabSuite View - IFC Viewer Quick Reference
• FabSuite View - Associate an IFC file with a job
• FabSuite View - Production Control - Model Interface
  • FabSuite View - Production Control - Set Sequences
  • FabSuite View - Production Control - Model Viewer Interface
  • FabSuite View - Production Control - Using the Model Interface without an XML Import
• FabSuite View - Estimating IFC Import
• FabSuite View - Estimating Model Interface

In order to utilize the model interface features, the production control job must have references from the bill of material line items to the model object GUIDs.  The easiest way to achieve this is to import the job with an XML file, either one exported out of SDS/2 or generated by FabSuite TME from a Tekla Structures model.  If the job comes into FabSuite from a different format the model interface can be used, it just requires one additional step to import the model object GUIDs from an IFC file so that they can be associated with the line items.
