The Revit users can access a wide range of garage products as 3D Revit files

A wide array of Steel-Line garage door products can be accessed as 3D Revit files Steel-Line Garage Doors has just introduced 3D Revit models of their leading products.

These consist of models from their most recognized Inspirations aluminium framed garage door range (www.steel-line.com.au) as well as five sectional garage door profiles in the DecoWood®, DecoVogue® and Colorbond® Classic colour series.

It is now possible for the Revit users to choose from Steel-Line’s products directly within the Revit program. The Steel-Line Revit plugin facilitates the Revit users to include numerous garage door options to a project with a single click of the button, directly from inside Autodesk Revit 2016, 2015 or 2014.

The 3D Revit models consist of reorganized technical information and simplify the work of the architects, specifiers and builders.

The existing revit users can access the Steel-Line 3D Revit models through company’s website (www.steel-line.com.au). There is an extensive interactive gallery that allows the Revit users to preview and download Steel-Line’s BIM files and colour swatches in the one, easy-to-use location.

Autodesk offers official support of Revit for Mac

Autodesk has announced an exciting offer for MAC users to access Revit through cloud. In this purpose Autodesk has tied a knot with Frame (https://fra.me/) to transform Revit to the cloud.

The is first ever official support of Revit toward Mac. Now the Revit users can easily reconfigure Revit into a virtual atmosphere that operates through authorized Autodesk applications via their computer’s browser.

The browser-run version lists support OS X, iOS, Android, Chromebook and Windows OS systems.

The browser version operates at fast paced out of the cloud and there is no need to use supplementary plug-ins. Therefore, the users can remain in Mac environments with out any difficulty for the complete experience.

In order to access this browser version of Revit at free of cost, visit cadonthecloud.com. Autodesk and Frame have also introduced some guides and FAQ sheets to solve your queries.

Revit 2016 R2 is available to improve the scalability, performance & speed of Revit

Autodesk just declared new update to Revit 2016 alias R2. With this new release the modeling speed will be significantly improved. Another crucial feature is the application of occlusion culling, a method uncovered in the fundamental graphics system. It includes a quick sample rendering initially to check what geometry is “occluded” from the scene and then to apply the final render.

The new background processing feature is included in Revit 2016 R2. The users can enjoy color fill background processing. Room, space, HVAC zone, duct and pipe fills are now supported with various CPUs or CPU cores to accelerate the process. With R2, the performance, workflow and scalability of Revit become superior.

Revit 2016 R2 includes over 25 updates. Autodesk Revit 2016 R2 is available for both Maintenance Subscription and Desktop Subscription customers to more successfully and competently obtain design objective.

Revit 2016 R2 contains the following exclusive features :-

• By applying the new Draw Visible Elements Only option, the users can Orbit, pan and zoom more rapidly. The navigation speed is improved in Revit as it only the visible elements of a view. This occlusion culling is useful for complicated files and views in which transformation of a vital amount of content is constrained.

• The users can continue their work while updating of color schemes and the related colr schemes with the Color Fill Background Processing. Revit 2016 R2 updates room, space, HVAC zone, duct, and pipe color fills through various CPUs, which mitigates model interaction delays belonging to these computations.

• Revit 2016 R2 contains new and superior tools to ontain and embed design objective in a model efficiently. Project-wide parameters are used to embed design intent in a model to drive dimension and element instance parameters throguh the Global Parameters feature. A global parameter can work out dimensions and determine formulas to drive dimensions and parameter values in other elements in the project.

• Family Visibility Preview can facilitate to obtain a superior view of design objective by separating out geometries which are invisible. Work more quickly Preview geometries and make necessary modifications prior to load a Family into a project and thus performance is accelerated greatly.

Autodesk Revit 2016 R2 can be accessed by existing Subscription customers of Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium and Ultimate, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Ultimate, Autodesk Revit Collaboration Suite, Autodesk Revit Architecture, Autodesk Revit Structure, Autodesk Revit MEP, Autodesk Revit LT and Autodesk AutoCAD Revit LT Suite software.

ModelStream, an Enterprise Asset Management Solution Connecting IBM Maximo and BIM Data for Facilities Management – Introduced by Microdesk

To overcoming the challenges of implementing and utilizing design, construction and geospatial technology Microdesk launched Revit Asset Management Solution alias ModelStream for AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner or Operators) and GIS firms. This new enterprise asset management solution will interrelate Autodesk Revit with IBM Maximo to facilitate facility management, operations and maintenance teams to directly obtain BIM data (originated from design and construction phase).

Microdesk’s AEC and Facility Management professionals have developed ModelStream to coordinate and support that changes the BIM world. The tool directly relates asset management system through BIM models and allows owners to avail all crucial information concerning building coherently once the project is completed.

By integrating BIM models with Maximo, ModelStream empowers the facilities and operations teams to effortlessly envisage probable issues, locate equipment, distinguish assets, and obtain vital data which can be used for effective building management during its lifecycle.By integrating BIM models with Maximo, ModelStream empowers the facilities and operations teams to effortlessly envisage probable issues, locate equipment, distinguish assets, and obtain vital data which can be used for effective building management during its lifecycle.

Enhancements with Rebar Constraints in Revit 2016

Autodesk Building Solutions presents a great learning video with Autodesk Revit 2016. In Revit 2016, there lots of crucial improvements with the Rebar Constraints dialog which range from interactivity with a view, the aptitude to zoom and pan meanwhile in the dialog, graphical selection of constraint targets, constraints to sloped faces and the capability to offset covers from elements.

With superior rebar rebar constraints tools in Revit 2016, it is now possible to adjust the model view during editing of cover settings. Besides, the users now will be able to choose cover references graphically. Rebar offsets can be stipulated corresponding to cover as well as the host object.

All these improvements enhance the effectiveness and model definition perfection over and above facilitate the reinforcement being updated perfectly on the basis of any premeditated modifications which can make the designs harmonized and precise.
