In 2006 I demonstrated (at Autodesk University) the then new line based family type by explaining how we could use it to document egress path requirements also known as exiting plans. Defining the requirements for documenting exiting are naturally going to affect the success of any solution we try to provide. Egress Path Options.

I started in 2015 and back then, we were collating individual models from the architectural side, sending those out to our consultants, and then down the line as it gets to the construction side. Jake and Rogers-O'Brien were in the design coordination meetings before we issued the documents. Andrew: It's changed a lot on my end.

Ivana shares how Mace saved 50% of their time spent on coordination and reporting by using BIM 360 Document Management and Model Coordination. How you approach the preconstruction phase—which involves ironing out your plans, designs, and documentation—can make or break the ease in which you move through a project.

unconvinced of the benefits); Consultants aren’t playing ball and don’t use open BIM. Subcontractors are not even aware of the acronym’s existence just heard somewhere that AutoCAD was no longer the standard for shop drawings? . You need to be smarter to document buildings in 2D. So, they can get away with it?

We will still be able to compare our model against 2D documentation by importing various 2D CAD views into the model. Just try creating a model using only 2D documents as the guide.

In the attempt of fixing the industry in one big swoop is, the workflow of producing and managing shop-drawings by numerous construction participants based on design documentation in a pretty archaic way seems to be generally overlooked. The process is linear and mostly broken over disciplines.

A divide tool for splitting walls and lines into equal parts A stretch tool similar to AutoCAD Improved spline tools for trimming, filleting, and splitting splines. Irregularly shaped Crop Regions should be supported like the vpclip tool in AutoCAD. A host of submittal package sorting and documenting tools would be of great benefit.

That being said, someday we will know, and someday our contract documents will reflect the legalities of BIM. AutoCAD is record albums and ABS is CDs. Not how to create templates and families, how to model and create construction documents. Seems like every one is working on it, but it is plain undefined.

Obviously you dont need all of these in one project, they are just a sampling of some you could use or consultants might be using. In my case Im interested in closing their worksets, "hiding" their elements globally until I need them again which is still "seeing" but not from a documentation standpoint. Linked CAD (etc. Thanks again.

Sometimes the survey is a hand drawn document from a "couple years ago" or it's just a legal deed description. When the survey comes in or you are forced to do some site documentation (guessing) create a new Revit project file (for example call it: Site Master or Master Site) and create whatever information you intend to use in this file.
