BIM DESIGN SOFTWARE FOR FIRESTOP

Firestop design can be very complex.

There are many different types of penetrations – for pipes, ducts and cable trays.

There are also many different approvals involved and pieces of technical data, which explain how a product withstands fire and which approvals it complies with.

So to simplify all of this, we’ve created our Hilti Button for Firestop – automating the entire firestop design process, with no need for expert firestop design knowledge.

Hilti Button for Firestop can help to save time by planning firestop from the start of any project.

It integrates directly with Autodesk® design software, so you can start to plan your firestop applications from the moment you design your whole project.

This can help to save time-consuming improvisation on the jobsite and speed up the inspection process. This can also reduce the risk of delays onsite and keep you in control, so you know which application should go where.

It can also save time by:

• Automatically choosing the right product for hundreds of applications in the model – saving time in reading codes and technical data.
• Automatically places firestop products into your design – there’s no need to do that manually.
• Automatically creates submittals ready for inspections – saving time compiling complex lists of documents manually.
• Creating an accurate estimate with a bill of materials.

Our Hilti Button for Firestop seamlessly integrates with the Autodesk® ecosystem including:

• Navisworks® Manage 2015, 2016 and 2017
• Revit® 2015 and 2016
• AutoCAD® MEP 2015 and 2016
• Fabrication CADmep™ 2016

Our Hilti Button for Firestop is a plug-in and integrates with Autodesk® design programs.
