Revit MEP 2010 to Estimating and CAM

Caught this video on YouTube from Technical Sales International on their external tool for Revit MEP 2010 that allows you to export Revit MEP objects to fabrication using CAM-Duct, CAM-Duct, and CAD-Mech.

    This was GREAT--cuts 2 or 3 steps out of the process from designer's drawing/model to fabrication. This is really where the rubber meets the road with BIM--once you can demonstrate real, believable savings in process (as you have done here), any rational M/E/P contractor will be happy to produce the BIM models, which can also be used to avoid clashes in the field. Thanks

    I cant see the video, youtube i sblocked at the office, but I heard it doesnt take the families through only duct and pipe...still very very cool

What NOT to do in Revit - Item #4 - Use the wrong object category

​When working in Revit, real world objects are broken up into several different object categories. For the most part, these make sense. But we can get into trouble when you use a Roof or a Wall object to model something other than its intended purpose. For example, it is not uncommon for us to want to use a Wall object to create bathroom our module office furniture partitions. Bathroom and module office furniture partitions are walls so why not use a wall? The main reason is related to material and element quantities. If the Revit model is being used for estimating takeoffs, then the estimator without knowing could count the bathroom or module furniture walls as real walls in this takeoff. The best practice is to create a Revit family for these types of real world objects. Initially it might take a little longer to create, but in the long run, it will provide easier editing and flexibility.

Repost: Revit Clinic: Revit 2015 Performance Enhancements

Image
Revit 2015 Performance Enhancements Thanks to Jeff Hanson for the following post! With each development cycle the Revit team works to develop new features, enhance or expand existing functionality, and improve the overall performance of Revit.  The 2015 development cycle was no different in this respect and overall performance of Revit 2015 has increased when tested against Revit 2014. Of particular note is the performance of graphics related operations.  In our tests we saw the greatest improvements in raster image operations (move, cop, array, etc…), view navigation, and element selection. This year’s Revit development also included a project that alters the internal family data structure which optimizes some computation heavy update operations that are triggered when the model is changed. In some cases we have seen performance in these areas improved up to 30%. Because of the calculation intensive nature of Revit MEP, separate performance statistics are ...
