The AEC industry is crazy about BIM implementation. When you hear about what can you do using BIM technology or watch presentations and videos you are told that everything is so easy. It is like all the documentation is created by itself, everything is integrated. When there is a revision, you need to simply click […]
Computers are here to help us in the design process. In the beginning, we started with CAD but the new technologies like BIM are rapidly evolving and there are a lot of new ways to design. This example shows how we’ve done the conceptual design for small expo pavilion for a company in the field […]
Recently in the office we tested the integration of a new platform for work between several teams of different offices. This platform is called Open BIM and has good integration with Autodesk Revit. The Open BIM platform allows projects to be saved and synced directly into the cloud server of BIMserver.center. The platform also has […]
To make our drawings to look the way we want, we use fill patterns. For material surface patterns or filled regions we need to have the fill patterns loaded in our models. If the desired fill pattern is not there, we can create custom fill pattern based on the standard rules available inside Revit environment. […]
Sometimes we need to share the information from our schedules with other people involved in the project. Usually they are not using BIM software and we need to send the infromation in proper format. For schedules Excel is the most popular software and any excel format will be perfect. Unfortunatelly Revit doesn’t support direct excel […]
This is how we extract the room finishes area. Dynamo helps us to calculate the area of each finish material in each room. It simply grabs the area from the wall, ceiling or floor which is in contact with the room volume. Works also with elements from linked models! After the extraction the script writes […]
We are using Dynamo and Revit to create Curtain Wall drawings with dimensions. This is a proof of concept. Additional drawings could be added automatically like plans, more dimensions, text notes, etc. The workflow is based on creating Assemblies.
We are using Parameters and Nested Revit Families to cover endless design combinations. This is how with few parameters and families you can allow the end user to choose between different components of your product. If you think the 3D is too heavy for you – use Detail Item families to create your details. Don’t […]
