BIM for Decision-Making (TBM Tunnelling)
Type: Urban rail (metro) infrastructure
Construction method: TBM (tunnel boring machine)
Key technical parameters
- Structure focus: TBM tunnel structures
- Operational mode: Metro
Challenge
The primary complexity was performing constraint analysis of TBM tunnel structures and accelerating early-stage planning through automation of drawing issuance for locations with identified clashes with existing structures. Key constraints and risks included:
- The need to expedite early planning for subsequent structural solution development
- Co-ordinating station/point locations where clashes were identified to enable timely drawing issuance
Scope of work
- Constraint analysis of TBM tunnel structures
- Automated drawing issue procedure for stations/points with clash locations.

AutoCAD Plugin for DWG Contour Extraction and File Cleaning
Type: Drawing preparation automation for manufacturing data
Key technical parameters
- Technological stack: C#, AutoCAD .NET (Core) 8.0, .NET API
- Software: Autodesk Autocad
Task
- Task focus: Extract the outer closed contour of parts from DWG files and automatically clean drawings
- Cleaning rules: Remove unnecessary elements (dimensions, leaders, hidden lines) according to client-defined rules
Challenge
The primary complexity was reliably extracting the correct outer closed contour from DWG files and cleaning drawings that contained many overlapping or near-duplicate “rubbish” lines. Key constraints and risks included:
- The need to remove annotations and hidden geometry while preserving the correct manufacturable contour
- Client-specific rules required for correct line selection in dense and noisy drawings
Scope of work
Key Deliverables:
- A compiled AutoCAD plugin featuring a custom Ribbon Tab with two primary function buttons
- A “Quick User Guide” providing clear documentation for installation and operation.
Simplified user experience:
The intuitive two-button interface provides a powerful automation tool that is simple for any user to operate without extensive training, ensuring rapid adoption and immediate productivity gains.
Increased efficiency: By automating repetitive manual tasks, the plugin dramatically reduces the time required to prepare each drawing for manufacturing. What once took significant manual effort can now be accomplished in just a few clicks.
Improved consistency: The automation ensures that every drawing is processed using the exact same rules. This eliminates the risk of human error and inconsistency, leading to higher quality and more reliable manufacturing data.
