Improved Sleeve Management

In addition to its automatic sleeve placement capabilities, the Auto Sleeving Tool also allows for better management of sleeve parts.

Trimble Point Export

Another notable feature of the Auto Sleeving Tool is its integration with Trimble point export. This functionality allows you to export fast, consistent, and trackable point information for all placed sleeves. By using Trimble exporting, you can easily share accurate sleeve location data with other team members or external stakeholders, further enhancing collaboration and communication.

To install the Auto Sleeving Tool, you will need to have MEP CORE 2024 installed. The program is available on the Autodesk App Store, where you can find the most up-to-date version. However, it is important to note that this app uses a custom installer instead of the standard App Store installer.
