Applied Engineering Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka; President: Takahiro Konishi; hereinafter referred to as 'Applied Engineering') and SUGIKO Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; President: Ryo Sugiyama; hereinafter referred to as 'SUGIKO'), a provider of temporary equipment rental services, have co-developed the 'Internal Scaffolding Function' for the Autodesk Revit add-in tool 'BooT.one.' To quickly reflect field feedback, the service was launched ahead of schedule on March 31.
The addition of this function significantly streamlines scaffolding planning for interiors, which has traditionally been highly difficult in BIM modeling. This supports the utilization of temporary BIM at construction sites.
### Background of Development: Realizing Field Needs for Temporary Planning using BIM
As the use of BIM is promoted in the construction industry, the demand for temporary planning using BIM at construction sites is also increasing. However, modeling interior scaffolding in areas such as stairwells, voids, and escalator installation sites is prone to complexity and has been a challenge due to its high difficulty.
In response, Applied Engineering systematized the vast knowledge of SUGIKO, which provides scaffolding BIM for over 100 cases annually. Compatible with SUGIKO's next-generation scaffolding 'Albatross,' the tool enables even those unfamiliar with Autodesk Revit operations to place scaffolding based on intuitive and safe rules.
### Key Features of the Internal Scaffolding Function
**Intuitive UI:** Provides an interface where necessary components can be visually selected and operated with a drag-and-drop feel.
**Abundant Functions Supporting Automatic Placement:**
- **Automatic Post Placement:** Automatically places posts at specified positions according to set conditions.
- **Member Placement:** Freely place various scaffolding members relative to the placed posts.
- **Single Pipe Placement:** For single pipes that are often placed for convenience with high flexibility, they can be easily placed in specified locations, and clamps are automatically placed on contacting posts.
- **Wall Tie Placement:** Wall ties, which vary in position depending on the situation, can be easily installed between posts as well as on posts.
- **Automatic Stage Placement:** Automatically places stages based on set conditions for the placed scaffolding. It also handles stage handrails, installation in different directions, and gap-filling plates.
- **Automatic Scaffolding Placement:** Places scaffolding all at once for a pre-set area.
### Product and Service Overview
- **Product Name:** BooT.one
- **Released Function Name:** Internal Scaffolding Function
- **Release Date:** March 31, 2026 (Tuesday)
