- 3/12/2010: BSD LinkMan-E is now available for download. It requires SpecLink-E to also be installed.
What is BSD LinkMan™-E?
BSD LinkMan-E is a linking software product that allows the user to easily create, monitor and modify relationships between various representations of a building design project—as drawn using Autodesk Revit, as specified using BSD SpecLink-E, and, in future, as estimated using BSD CostLink/AE. This linking software is referred to as LinkMan-E or LME. The LME user interface is a set of “Dashboards,” together constituting a monitoring station that allows the user to identify, control and coordinate relevant discrepancies between the three software applications. In short, LME is a tool for coordinating the Revit building model (the BIM), its specifications, and (in future) its cost estimate.
SpecLink-E / LinkMan-E User Scenarios
User scenarios range on a continuum from minimal integration -- amounting to just barely beyond word processing specs and CAD -- to highly advanced -- full "BIM" implementation and office masters in SpecLink-E. Many organizations will progress along this continuum, some gradually, others in fits and starts.
- Minimal Integration: The spec is prepared last, independently of the 3-D model.
- Advanced Integration: The specification and the 3-D model are prepared in parallel, both from master "libraries."
