Transmittal

Issuing and transmittal records inside Archicad

WHAT IT DOES

Access

VKTRS Transmittal is available as a one-off purchase. Supports Archicad versions AC27+

GRAPHICS

VKTRS Transmittal is an object-based transmittal workflow inside Archicad. It aligns with drawing publication and Revision Manager so revision and issue information stays with the set you ship, and large jobs can be split into sections.

FUNCTION

What It Does

Builds and maintains a transmittal record for drawing issues: who received what and when, updated as you publish and revise layouts.

SYSTEM

How It Works

You work inside Archicad’s issuing flow. The transmittal object collects information through the publishing process with Revision Manager, so the transmittal updates as drawings are issued or revised. For larger projects you can organise the transmittal into separate sections. Graphic options adjust how the transmittal reads on the sheet.

Inputs

Archicad, the VKTRS Transmittal object, drawing sets and publication workflow, Revision Manager data, recipient and issue metadata, and optional section structure for large projects.

Outputs

A structured transmittal suitable for issue documentation, aligned with the current revision state of the published set.

OPTIONS

Workflow And Layout

  • Publication-driven updates with Revision Manager
  • Issue alongside drawing sets in Archicad
  • Optional sections for large projects
  • Graphic modes: detailed, symbolic, individual, model view options
  • Object instructions for setup and operation

IMPACT

Why It Matters

It keeps issue and revision context in Archicad next to the drawings, reducing parallel logging in spreadsheets or other apps for the same facts.

USE CASE

Issue Documentation

A practice needs a consistent transmittal that tracks issued drawings and revisions without duplicating the issue register outside the BIM environment.
