QA Graphics’ BAS Vector Symbol Library Recognized As A 2019 Vision Award Winner

September 24, 2019

QA Graphics’ BAS Vector Symbol Library has been named a winner in Facility Manager Building Services/Tools in the 2019 Vision Awards, sponsored by FacilitiesNet.com.? The Vision Awards honors innovation and excellence in products that contribute to the efficient and profitable operations and management of institutional and commercial buildings in the United States.

“We are thrilled that our Vector Symbol Library is being recognized as an innovative product,” said Dan McCarty, owner of QA Graphics, when asked about the award. “Technology has led the industry to expect better and more creative visual representation. In today’s day and age, you should expect to be able to access your building automation system via any size device. Meaning, your graphics need to be optimized for mobile support and responsive to any device type without pixelization, which is what our Vector Symbol Library offers you.”

QA Graphics, a leader in the BAS industry for over a decade, addresses the need for responsive design within the industry moving to both large and mobile platforms with the BAS Vector Symbol Library. Allowing users to differentiate themselves with hundreds of SVGS and animation files that are more appealing, realistic, detailed, and higher resolution images that are easily scalable for a mobile device without pixelization of the graphics. This is typically not available with generic BAS software at this high quality. Graphics easily scale to any device size to view your BAS graphics without pixelization. Our custom designed SVG and animation symbols have similar symbols but with a different take on popular ones. Graphics are embedded within the control software to provide a consistent style on any BAS which helps Facility Managers spend less time assembling system graphics for mobile devices.

You can own the library for a onetime fee to use on all projects at your location. Learn more about the BAS Vector Symbol Library: www.qagraphics.com/bas-symbol-library-2/#vector-library

Simplifying Architectural Files into Easy-to-Read 2D Floorplans

August 15, 2019

How can you show a floorplan to a client that is easy-to-read?

What We Receive for 2D Floorplans

Although it can vary, we mainly receive PDFs that are the architectural or mechanical drawings for the building from our clients. These are usually the original plans for the building and can be outdated or incomplete. To most, this kind of drawing is difficult to interpret and includes all sorts of layers, making it nearly impossible to see the actual floorplan that lies beneath.

What We Do with It

Our CAD/Revit drafters can take these more complicated drawings/plans and remove or manipulate the layers in a way that makes the end-result clean and legible. Depending on our client’s specific needs we can remove annotations, mechanical ductwork or equipment, etc. Certain long-time clients of ours choose to use specific colors or layouts, keeping all the projects we work on with them consistent.

One of the harder aspects about trying to decipher original or outdated floorplans is identifying what you do and don’t need. Many floorplan drawings include HVAC components that aren’t needed in a simple, 2D floorplan. We can simplify those by using Illustrator and Auto Cad to take out certain line weights and color strokes.

What We Give You

The final product is a floorplan that nearly anyone can read. The details we include are completely up to the client, and our team can make any adjustments during the process that are needed. We can use our core standards for zoning or can cater to clients who want to zone themselves. Our goal overall, is to meet the needs and wants of every client to match their standards and to give them a floorplan that they can use inside their specific platform.
