MicroBIM Fire is a Revit plugin that is optimized for fire sprinkler designers. It offers a wide array of features that make designing and stock-listing a breeze, to name just a few features. Micah offered the membership team a full walkthrough on the difference MicroBIM Fire makes.<\/p>\n

Design
\nMicroBim Fire is designed to be as automated as possible. Naturally, there\u2019s no replacement for an informed fire sprinkler designer, but MicroBIM Fire offers solutions that can make a designer\u2019s life easier. One such tool is the auto-connection feature which offers solutions that will automatically connect sprinklers to pipe and pipe to pipe using multiple configurations at once. For example, the tool can connect branch lines to mains, pendent sprinklers to branch lines with flex drops, and upright sprinklers to branch lines on sprigs all at once without changing settings in between.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the software also offers an auto layout tool that takes the ceiling height of a room, the walls, and other relevant variables that affect the spacing and automatically calculates sprinkler head spacing accordingly.<\/p>\n

Calculation
\nMicroBIM Fire is also a great resource for hydraulic calculations. All users need to do is specify all necessary elements and let MicroBIM Fire do the rest. All calculations can then be exported to a PDF report that meets NFPA standards.<\/p>\n

Coordination
\nFire sprinkler designers know that conflicts with other industries are never fun, which is why MicroBIM Fire\u2019s coordination solutions offer amplified conflict protection. Essentially, the coordination tools allow for the detection and tracking of clashes with other systems and offer automated solutions.<\/p>\n

Stock Listing
\nMicroBIM Fire has a built-in stock-listing features that make fabrication and material lists fast and accurate. Once the project is designed, the designer can generate a report that can then be passed over to the fabrication shop listing with everything needed for the project. With multiple built-in quality control steps, the user can trust the output is precise. These reports can be exported as a .JOB (FireList), PDF, and\/or Excel file.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next for MicroBIM Fire?
\nMicroBIM Fire no doubt boasts several features that will make designing fire sprinkler systems a breeze, but that has not stopped the company from innovating. At this time Micah explained that training materials are in production for users to better understand that software. Micah is also free to walk customers through the process and make implementation a breeze.<\/p>\n
