IMAGINiT Clarity Space Programming Module In conjunction with three architecture firms on the Engineering NewsRecord: Top 100 Design Firms list, the IMAGINiT software development team created the IMAGINiT Clarity Space Programming Module as a practical solution for architecture firms involved in the space planning of projects, such as hospitals, schools, government buildings, and stadiums. With this add-on module, Clarity customers can add functionality that enables them to: • Accelerate design creation • Improve design verification • Track deviations from the plan And, because all projects in IMAGINiT Clarity Space Programming Module follow the same data structure, data-savvy firms can compare data from project to project, determine best practices, develop standards, and more. How It Works At most architecture firms, planners use Excel to come up with the space program, then hand off to designers to lay out the space to meet the requirements. Along the way, the design needs to be compared to the requirements to ensure that the design stays close to the program. While many companies have developed some semi-automated workflows to help streamline this process, they generally still require significant manual effort, which is time consuming and fragile. Automating the Process With Clarity Space Programming Module, the space requirements data reside in a single repository that planners, designers, project managers, and others can access to review, manipulate, update, and compare using sophisticated automation tools developed by IMAGINiT. Confidently Add the Clarity Space Programming Module to Your Toolbox Architects can be sure that the standard and customizable features of the Space Programming Module will meet their needs, because we developed it in conjunction with three large architecture firms that work in many different market segments. Solutions Beyond Software IMAGINiT Technologies, a division of Rand Worldwide, helps architects and engineers become more proficient in the use of 3D technologies to design, develop and manage complex engineering projects faster and more cost-effectively.

Here is a high-level overview of the workflow: 1. Document the space requirements however you would like. a. You can enter the program directly into Clarity b. Clarity offers first-class data import tools from Excel c. Clarity offers a full API to populate the program from another application. 2. Use Clarity web tools (i.e., stacking and pivot tables) to analyze the plan 3. Use tools in Revit to create all types of geometry from the program, manage actual vs. the plan, check adjacency requirements, and more. 4. Use web-based tools to track actual vs. the program, stacking, room data sheets,...
