Top 10 Benefits of Autodesk Navisworks.

A few weeks ago, BRS added a new tool to our digital design capabilities. In acquiring the Autodesk Navisworks software, BRS has not only enhanced its set of tools, but it’s fundamentally improved the way we share 3D information.
Our main 3D modeling program is Autodesk REVIT, and until now all 3D coordination has been done in REVIT itself. A program like REVIT contains an incredible amount of modeling information, drawing sheets, schedules—not to mention considerable 2D information. Consultants’ REVIT models also carry a similarly large database and reviewing models within REVIT can be cumbersome, to say the least.
Enter Navisworks. Navisworks is not a 3D modeling program but a program that converts large REVIT 3D model files into smaller 3D models that are far more manageable for a multitude of team members. It gives BRS a more efficient tool to review and resolve differences between multiple consultant models. Navisworks is a powerful desktop application that can filter and separate specific model information. It will not be a program to replace REVIT, but a tool that works in conjunction with REVIT and makes certain processes much more efficient. Navisworks can be used in a multitude of applications (ones we won’t fully discuss here), but we can already see it making a big impact in the following 10 ways.
Improves 3D presentation techniques with clients and consultants:
  1. Smaller file size can be opened and operated on a laptop or tablet computer with ease
  2. Entire 3D model can be viewed and walked through—and sections of building isolated—to be analyzed at much greater speeds than in REVIT
  3. Material changes can be made instantaneously and views can be set up quickly to show different material possibilities
  4. Provides clients with small files containing overall project 3D information without overwhelming them with entire REVIT project database
  5. Clients can download free Navisworks file viewer, allowing them to rotate, spin, flip and walk through the model
  6. Clients can take basic measurements and interact with design team in 3D environment
  7. Client can generate 3D views of the project, improving their overall understanding of the design
  8. Navisworks’ greatest strength is clash detection: Detecting collisions during design, in real time, gives the team a very efficient method to improve coordination among multiple building systems and ultimately avoid costly remedies after drawing completion and during construction
  9. Enhances ability to filter through building elements quickly and run collision tests between isolated building elements
  10. The same filters and searches can be saved and used throughout the project.

About Masses and Mass Families in Revit

Image
You can create masses within a project (in-place masses) or outside a project (loadable mass families). In-place masses  are used for mass forms that are unique to a project. Loadable  mass families  are typically used when you will be placing multiple instances of the mass in a project, or when you will use mass families in multiple projects. To create in-place masses and loadable mass families, use the conceptual design environment.

How to Create an Ordinate Linear Dimension Style in Revit

Image
To add an ordinate dimension for a linear dimension style, you need to edit the Dimension String type parameter. Create a new ordinate linear dimension style so that any continuous dimensions in the project are not affected when you edit the parameter. Click Annotate tab Dimension panel   (Aligned) or   (Linear). Click Modify | Place Dimensions tab Properties panel  (Type Properties). In the Type Properties dialog, click Duplicate. In the Name dialog, enter a name for the dimension, and click OK. In the Type Properties dialog, for Dimension String Type, select Ordinate. For Ordinate Dimension Settings, click Edit. In the Ordinate Dimension Settings dialog, specify settings for the ordinate dimension. Setting Description Text Orientation Specify where to align the dimension text, with the witness line or the dimension line. This setting is disabled when the Read Convention parameter is Horizontal. Text Position Specify the text position, at the end of the witness line or

How to Create a Toposurface in Revit

Image
Create a toposurface by placing points, by using imported 3D contour data, or by using a points file. Open a 3D view or a site plan view. Click Massing & Site tab Model Site panel  (Toposurface). To create the toposurface by placing points By default, the Place Point tool on the ribbon is active. On the Options Bar, set a value for Elevation. The points and their elevations are used to create the surface. Next to the Elevation text box, select one of the following: Absolute Elevation . Points display at the specified elevation (from the Project Base Point). You can place points anywhere in the active drawing area. Relative to Surface . Allows you to edit an existing toposurface by placing points on it at the elevation you specify. To use this option effectively, you may want to work in a shaded 3D view. Click in the drawing area to place points. If needed, change the elevation on the Options Bar as you place additional points. To use imported 3D contour data
