AMC Bridge Presents a Case Study on Enhancing Allegion’s Overtur for Revit

Interoperability Solutions Data Interoperability and Collaboration Design and Workflow Automation BIM and Digital Twin

Waltham, MA—Owing to its deep expertise in engineering software development, AMC Bridge helped Allegion equip architects and designers with the enhanced industry-renowned software—Overtur™ for Revit®.

Allegion, a global pioneer in safety and security door systems, faced the challenge of building a connection between architects and Allegion consultants that will help them to readily and precisely choose which Allegion products to include in their designs. Considering Autodesk® Revit® Building Information Modeling (BIM) software as a tool of choice for many architects and designers, Allegion made the decision to unlock the maximum capabilities of their Overtur plug-in for Revit. Combined with Allegion’s industry-leading expertise and AMC Bridge’s in-depth knowledge of Revit, this collaboration was highly successful.

Allegion’s Overtur for Revit is a cloud-based ecosystem where project team members come together to collaborate on the project’s safety and security door systems. It provides a centralized place to capture, maintain, and verify door hardware requirements and decisions with easy options to push that information back to the design tools (for example, Revit). The Overtur for Revit plug-in provides the means for the Revit user to push data to and from the Overtur project.

The business purpose of improving the Overtur for Revit plug-in was to expand Allegion’s client base by reducing the effort required by designers for the synchronization of security information between Overtur and the architectural application.

As a result of the successful cooperation between Allegion and AMC Bridge, the plug-in has made strides forward in capabilities. The exceptional work done by both internal and external teams has brought new ideas and innovations to reality. Both Allegion and AMC Bridge have called this a success and happily continue this partnership going forward.

  • Cesium Opens More Doors for Unreal Into AEC

    The arrival of the Cesium for Unreal plug-in is fairly recent. It was announced last March and became officially available in April 2021, but the ability to work with large geospatial models in the Unreal game engine is a snowball rolling downhill. The alliance between Cesium and Unreal means that the Unreal Engine supports the open format 3D Tiles pioneered by Cesium, which opens up new possibilities for companies bringing their data into Unreal to create compelling visualizations.
