How can you organize element-by-element accounting?

"It would be convenient if you could load IFC into MasterFab and it would turn it into individual models."

IFC Model Workflow
Transferring IFC models to the installation and construction stages is an advantage for both KMD developers and telegram in philippines customers. It ensures data integrity at all stages, from design to operation. Separation of KMD working documentation within a single information model can lead to inconsistencies, which hinders the creation of a consolidated model required for operation on the construction site and archiving.

At the same time, each developer uses their own standards and attributes, which often leads to problems with compatibility of models with software. Thus, Igor Kukushkin said that he was unable to view some old projects on the MasterFab platform due to differences in the names and settings of attributes.

Valery Mokhov added that EuroChem actively uses 3D models at the construction stage, since not all design features can be reflected in the drawings, and three-dimensional objects help workers study in detail the assembly methods and the parts required for this. This approach minimizes the number of errors and simplifies the process of submitting questions and clarifications on the installation and compatibility of design elements.


Element-by-element accounting of the model allows optimizing all stages of the project: from design to final assembly and operation.

The Arctic LNG-2 and Yamal LNG projects implemented element-by-element accounting in 3D models, initiated by foreign requirements. Using an additional plug-in in the Tekla program, each part was assigned an individual letter number. This was necessary to carry out the acceptance of metal structures for each individual part, in order to avoid repeated checks of the same element. This method also simplified the introduction of changes: at any stage, it is possible to make adjustments to a specific brand placed in a certain place.

Element-by-element accounting also helped when interacting with different project participants. For example, a letter prefix was used for engineers, and a digital one for builders. This separation allowed each specialist to work independently, without interfering with each other.

Overview of MasterFab functionality
After discussing the issues with experts, MasterFab Executive Director Denis Kuptsov held a product presentation.

The solution works via a browser and does not require the installation of separate software. All collaboration in MasterFab is organized via a workspace that supports the order structure. Within the workspace, you can invite colleagues from the customer either for full access to the workspace or to individual orders. The order nomenclature is loaded into MasterFab via the import of IFC files from Tekla Structures. In the future, support for a wider range of solutions in this area is planned.

Basic functionality for interacting with customers is provided free of charge. However, it is limited to the ability to participate in the space of only three editors and numerous observers who can view the project, download reports and work with the 3D model, but not make changes. The interface is available in Russian and English.
