Why Referenced Work with TENADO PROTECT is Essential

Two men in casual clothing are standing indoors. One in a red plaid shirt is observing, while the other in a blue sweater, perhaps a PLM partner, is using a tablet. They appear to be in a modern workspace.
You might now be wondering: What exactly is “referenced work” and why should I bother with it? By importing a building’s floor plan into the software, it’s possible to create escape and rescue plans and fire brigade plans based on it.
TENADO PROTECT offers the advantage over other programs in that it supports referenced work. This means that changes to the floor plan, also known as the master plan, are automatically updated in all plans. Structural changes only need to be made in one file, rather than separately in all plans. This can save you considerable time and prevent errors!

What is referencing?

  • You can easily create references in TENADO PROTECT using the "Copy to" command. This command neatly places the section you want to edit on a separate sheet in just two clicks.
  • Starting with a master plan, you create daughter and grandchild plans. These show relevant sections of the master plan.
  • Different plans can be created from a basic plan: e.g. escape and rescue routes or a fire brigade route plan.
  • By connecting to the master file, all created plans always remain up to date.

The advantages of working with references

Referenced work saves time because changes only need to be made in one central location.
  • Errors are avoided because all plans are based on a uniform database.
  • Flexibility in structural changes is increased because all plans are updated automatically.

Conclusion

It is very important that escape and rescue plans are regularly reviewed to ensure they are up to date. In the event of structural changes, they must even be adapted to ensure they can be used effectively in an emergency. This is where TENADO PROTECT comes into play: With this software, you are always on the safe side and can ensure that your plans are always up to date. By referencing and making one-time changes to the basic file, adapting the plans becomes child’s play and saves you a lot of time. The result: a quick and accurate review of your plans without any annoying sources of error.
