We work that out, make drawings for it, calculations and work plans.<\/p>\n<h3>What would you say is the biggest daily challenge in your profession?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Renee:<\/strong> The biggest challenge is to ensure that practice matches theory. And that we keep the process running. That everyone gets their work done on time and that it&#8217;s right what&#8217;s being done out there.<\/p>\n<h3>Does <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scia.net\/en\/software\/scia-autoconverter?utm_medium=Website&amp;utm_source=Partner&amp;utm_campaign=BIM%20today&amp;mk=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SCIA AutoConverter<\/a> play a role in that? What&#8217;s the reason you purchased the software?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Renee:<\/strong> As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/scia-engineer-pontsteiger\/95041\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">structural engineer<\/a>, I was always bothered by the fact that when we get a 3D model from a draftsman, we always have to set up the model all over again in SCIA Engineer.

We get the model from the modeller and we upload it into the AutoConverter. It doesn\u2019t take much time to convert it to a good working SCIA model. And so it saves us 20% to 30% of time as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/astrazeneca-structural-engineering\/91507\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">design engineer<\/a> to set up the model again.<\/p>\n<h3>Would you recommend SCIA AutoConverter to others as well?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Renee:<\/strong> I would recommend SCIA Auto-Converter to others. The moment they get 3D models to calculate, it will save them a lot of time. Plus, they&#8217;re a lot more complete with the model. You get the model from the draftsman with just everything in it. You have everything complete and you don&#8217;t have to call the modeller again right away to ask &#8220;how did you come up with this, how did you come up with that&#8221;, but you actually just see it reflected in your model.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the whole interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6iUXv2pnDRM&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
