We provide Autodesk Revit courses and method advice. This service can also run parallel to our other specialty offerings. Our aim is to ensure you receive best quality learning experience and are fully capable of commanding the software to achieve the desired results in your daily practice.
Parametric modeling is an all-inclusive phrase referencing the creation of 3D models from a set of rules. Revit uses parametric modeling via “families.” Everything in Revit, from title blocks to 3D views to building components such as walls or floors, is part of a “family”; some are built into the software, some accessible through libraries, and others built from scratch. A family can be created by assigning dimensions and properties to 2D or 3D information, which can then be modified by a Revit user by changing those parameters (for example, height, width, or thickness of a door family). This gives Revit models greater control over building design.
All information that is used to create a Revit model is housed in a single database. This means that whenever you make a change in the model, the database gets updated. The changes are carried throughout the entire model, enabling automation and making the building design process more efficient (and also eliminating some of the rework that comes with ‘chasing’ changes around our various project files).
One of the more distinct differences between Revit and AutoCAD is the ability to allow multiple users to work in the same Revit model at the same time, as opposed to AutoCAD, where only one user can make changes to a .dwg file at a time. By using the ‘Sync with Central’ tool in Revit, users can push their model changes to a ‘Central’ model while also pulling any changes from that same ‘Central’ model made by colleagues into their ‘Local’ copy of the model. This process enables full collaborative functionality for the project team.
Whether coordinating models as part of the architectural design process or performing constructability reviews from users in the construction industry, Revit provides numerous useful tools for coordination between different models, file types, disciplines, and trades. Tools in Revit allow users to monitor changes from a linked model, review notifications of those changes, copy elements from a linked model into their base model, and communicate those items that need a resolution to other teams working on the same project.
In the same vein as a Revit model functioning as a single database of all information in a model, scheduling in Revit cuts down on the time traditional workflows demand. As changes are made in the Revit model, schedules that have been set up will instantly update as well with those changes, streamlining one of the more time-consuming processes in the architectural design process. To help with project management, schedules can also be exported out of Revit, modified, then imported back in with those changes.
By utilizing the 3D modeling capabilities of Revit and the coordination tools at our disposal, users can quickly review clash detection and identify other coordination issues. With these changes, and in conjunction with the dynamic nature of how changes are populated throughout an entire model, users can generate high-quality, coordinated, and error-free construction documents rather quickly.
These days, remote work is becoming the norm, if not necessary, for many offices. Housing a Revit model in the cloud gives access anytime and from anywhere to your Revit models. There are a number of cloud-based platforms that can work with Revit. Still, the most obvious is the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform sold by Autodesk – this platform acts as a “server in the cloud” where users can save their models, push changes to said models, mark up models and sheets, communicate with team members, and even help with facility management after construction completion handoff – all through a web browser. This connection to the cloud extends the power of Revit and its collaborative capabilities.
