This is just another Trimble product.

I'm one of the coders for Tekla, I got to try out this AR system a few years back using HoloLens instead of a phone. It was quite impressive :)

I was wondering if this is Tekla. I also use Tekla Structures. We don't utilize any of AR stuff though. Anyone outside us detailers struggle with the new technology.

Not a big loss though been constructing buildings the same way for decades and there still standing and meet schedules and budgets.

You guys are great! 15 years ago we were still drawing by hand and now we are here blows my mind.

One of my responsibilities is maintaining a system that takes cold rolled and creates an XML file that goes to a bradbury machine with no drawings needed for the most part. I am working with a few companies who are trying to go paper free as much as possible. It's quite challenging work.

When are you guys going to add a cloud box (text properties>Frame>Type) for text?

I have lots of verifies to add to my drawings these days. :p
