The Scaffold Automation can be used to create a simple modular system scaffold geometry to assist to visualize the location, height and design of the scaffold access system.

With the automation users can use the line tool to define the path of the scaffold. By selecting the verticies you can click out an exact path on the edge of a building, for example. After the path is defined, you can use the offset from path input to move the completed scaffold over to the left or right of that path centreline.

Other inputs include the scaffold level height, the distance between two levels of the scaffold, and the number of total levels. For example, if the level height is 2 meters, with 5 levels, then the total height will be 10 meter.

Once the project is completed the IFC file can be downloaded for use downstream in other packages, or you can BIM link for sequence purposes.

To use the scaffold automation, you'll need to specify the parameters for your project. You'll need to specify the following values:

Once all of the parameters are specified, the IFC file for the project can be downloaded for use in other packages, or for BIM linking.

The Scaffold Automation is a great helpful tool for designing and developing scaffold systems to assist with visualization and ease of understanding projects. There are several benefits to using this automation including faster development, visual representation, easier to control parameters, and no guess work.
