A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR ALL A/E/C INDUSTRY NEEDS..
Integrated Design Through BIM Specialization

2. SIS BIM is a specialized AEC Consultant based in Hyderabad to provide services in BIM
related services to the prospering economies of the Middle East and Indian market in
collaboration with our parent firm Design Integrated located in Dubai.
With today’s changing economic trends, that have forced many companies and individuals
to downsize or reorganize their assets, we provide flexible end-to-end solutions that assist
companies.
We concentrate on the techniques that bring the most value to project participants. At the
core of what we offer our clients is our modeling expertise and our ability to dynamically
apply this expertise to a broad range of client needs.
We provide members of the A/E/C community BIM 3D/4D/5D modeling solutions that
enable the team to save time and money, and to transition projects and models efficiently
from design to fabrication to construction.

 PIPING FLOW UNITS
o When you define project units for piping, you can now specify values for Flow in liters per
minute (L/min).

 PERFORMANCE AND VOLUME ONLY SETTINGS FOR CALCULATIONS
o To improve performance while working with most duct and pipe systems, a new setting,
Performance, has been added to the Calculations drop-down. When this parameter is set to
Performance, no system-level calculations are processed. When it is set to None, the system
still maintains the logical sections in the system.
o To improve performance while working with large Fire Protection, Vent, and Other
classification system types, a new setting, Volume Only, has been added to the Calculations
drop-down. When the Calculations parameter is set to None, the Volume parameter is not
computed. When the Calculations parameter is set to Volume Only, the Volume parameter
is calculated. Upgraded projects will have the Calculations parameter set to Volume Only
for existing systems in which the Calculations parameter was set to None.

6.  IMPROVED SNAPPING BEHAVIOR
o While working with large system models, you may notice an improvement to snapping
behavior. Remote snaps include only the objects in the visible portion of the view, rather
than the view extents. In addition, snap filters are now based on the zoom level: when the
zoom level is greater, fewer elements are included for remote snapping. When Snap to
Remote Objects is disabled, snapping to connectors in linked files is excluded

 MEP FABRICATION DETAILING
o You can now use LOD 400 content from Autodesk Fabrication products (CADmep, ESTmep,
and CAM duct) in Revit to create a more coordinated model. This functionality provides
greater certainty for detailers in construction firms that the model accurately reflects the
intended installation.

7.  REVIT EXTENSION FOR AUTODESK FABRICATION
o You can import and export fabrication jobs between Revit and the Autodesk Fabrication
products
