Managing any size project is easier, thanks to ACIST from GMTEC. This contract glazing software solution was designed specifically for the glass and metal industry to eliminate ordering mistakes of glass, and fabrication mistakes of metal systems. With ACIST, project managers can manage their particular job needs with all the material data supplied directly from the AutoCAD® shop drawings.

ACIST is a fast, powerful, and easy-to-use tool that levels the field for project managers when it comes to material ordering, especially for glass curtain walls. It runs as an AutoCAD add-on, helping CAD operators gain efficiency in generating elevations and applying dimensions to them.

Features:

• Applies Profile intelligence to Details in AutoCAD and stores this data in the AutoCAD database.

• Applies Detail Intelligence to the constituent parts of each Elevation then stores this data also.

• And from this stored data....

• Creates a takeoff of cut lengths of metal, including accessories. Lists Glass sizes by floor and Glass type.  

• Eliminates manual takeoff of glass and metal . Data is taken straight from the

• Shop drawings

For project managers... ACIST provides the hands-on control you need to do your job efficiently. ACIST provides materials takeoff by floor, by individual shop drawing Elevation, by Building Elevation, separating leave outs (due to buckhoists or other reasons) and giving total quantities for Purchase Orders  with high volume/ low volume Glass breakouts.

Benefits:

• Eliminates ordering and fabrication mistakes

• Integrates seamlessly with your AutoCAD environment

• Assists project managers by providing the information necessary to order glass and metal in:
• All sizes
• Any format desired (by floor, by elevation, total, etc.)
• Along with fabrication requirements of the metal system in any format desired.
  

• Works with both custom systems and standard systems. It does not matter

• Reduces the risk of error when ordering glass and metal for the high-risk glass curtain wall business
