While revising a video script that I’ll later translate, one word catches my eye: “MEP designer” It makes me wonder—who actually uses our software solutions? Who reads my translations? Who are these people we always refer to as our “customers”? I catch myself picturing mostly men, sitting in front…
The digital transformation is already in full swing, demanding clear answers to complex questions. Especially in the construction industry—where innovation meets tradition — companies must tackle challenges without losing sight of their primary goal: increasing efficiency and quality through…
The LINEAR Idea Channel has revolutionized the way our customers and our product management communicate. It thrives on this collaboration – and that's exactly what makes it so successful! Thanks to numerous user ideas, new functions were added to the platform last year and it now offers an even…
Municipal (local) heating networks play a key role in the decarbonized heating supply target scenario. Heat from various regionally available renewable energies can be provided more cost-effectively in many cases by means of heating networks - in contrast to supplying individual buildings. Municipal…
BIM models are now standard in the MEP design – but what happens to the data they contain? It often remains unused because there is no standardized classification. With the LINEAR "MepClasses", there is now a solution that brings order to the data chaos and paves the way for automated, digital…
To meet our own quality standards, the development team took more than half a year to develop the quantity and depth of the new features. Anyone who has been eagerly awaiting an interim release during this time can now be surprised by an excellent result, because the wait was definitely worth it.
Version 24.3, released in July 2024, adds the “LINEAR Desktop Electrical” to the LINEAR Solutions portfolio. This is an innovative construction solution for electrical designs in Revit. Specific tools and seamless calculation with ETAP Caneco make designing of electrical systems easier than ever. In…
With the release of IDS version 1.0, buildingSMART has officially introduced the new standard for communicating information delivery specifications. Reason enough for us to take a look at the new possibilities available in LINEAR Solutions for Revit.
Avid users of our CAD Browser and Content Hub will have noticed that some of the manufacturer catalogs have a different user interface and different functions. In this article, I would like to shed some light on why this is the case and why there are good reasons for not treating all product…
The path to a climate-neutral future leads via the building sector. However, the need to construct sustainable buildings or renovate old buildings to make them more energy-efficient is offset by a major shortage of skilled workers. Digital construction is one answer to the challenge of making the…
More than 30 years ago, the LINEAR software was created with the idea of recording information only once and then maintaining it in the same place. This concept, known as the "Single Source of Truth", was first put into practice in MEP planning with calculations based on pipe network designs.
