From Crane DataTo Completed Lift Plan

Accurate crane modelling starts with reliable reference information. LPP now includes a technical reference data architecture for manufacturers, models, variants, dimensions, weights, boom systems, hook blocks, counterweights, outriggers, transport items, drawings and document references. Values can carry source and verification status such as verified, source available, unverified, conflicting or unknown.

The engineering import pipeline accepts and classifies CAD, model and reference formats, with DWF and DWFx handled as converted reference/source material rather than a native browser-editable format. The goal is to preserve layers, components, metadata and hierarchy where the source and conversion provider make that possible.

LPP includes 2D and 3D CAD workspaces for drawing, modelling, measurement, layers, object organisation, transforms, imported references and scene setup. The direction is general CAD precision combined with lifting-specific workflows, so geometry can become useful project and crane-planning information.

A useful LPP crane is more than a mesh. Manufacturer geometry can be organised into chassis, carbody, tracks, wheels, upperworks, boom sections, jib, derrick, hook, counterweights and outriggers. Components define assemblies, pivots define movement, connection points define attachment, and parameters define behaviour.

Lift planning involves the site as well as the crane. Current LPP surfaces include 3D scene objects, plant-style geometry, imported models, ground/site context, loads, exclusion zones and 2D drawing tools so crane, rigging, load and site information can sit in one coordinated environment.

LPP includes rigging equipment, rigging asset storage, custom rigging models and 3D rigging/load attachment concepts. The workflow is hook to master link, slings, shackles, spreader or lifting beam, lifting points and load. Engineering calculations are presented as assistance and must be checked by competent professionals.

Crane controls exist for positioning and selected 3D crane behaviour, including slew, boom angle, hook height and crane state used by the simulation store. The long-term configuration model separates 3D geometry from manufacturer-specific rules for boom, hook, counterweight, crawler and outrigger configurations.

LPP has a 3D lift simulation panel and timeline/keyframe state for reviewing pick, hoist, slew, luff, telescope, lower and set concepts. Visual simulation helps planners review space and sequence; it does not by itself prove that a lift is safe or compliant.

The codebase contains measurement tools, safety-analysis APIs, lift-plan generation and crane reference status tracking. Clearance, collision, utilisation and validated manufacturer capacity workflows should be understood as developing unless they are explicitly verified in a project by competent people and source data.

LPP includes RAMS pages, AI-assisted report and lift-plan generation endpoints, PDF/report tooling and drawing export concepts. These tools help assemble project information, hazards, controls, crane details, load details, rigging notes and lift sequence information into usable documentation.

The repository includes project, chat, group messaging, uploads, video-call and team discussion surfaces. LPP is designed so Appointed Persons, lift planners, supervisors, riggers, engineers and clients can work around the same project information where appropriate.

LPP includes a learning area with courses, lessons, quizzes, certificates and training pages. Training content can support lift planning, crane setup, CAD, rigging and workflow understanding without claiming external accreditation unless that accreditation is actually in place.
