Details of CADS RC3D for Revit

The purpose of CADS RC3D is to simplify the placement, annotation and bar marking of reinforcing steel for all types of RC structures. CADS RC expands the robust reinforcement modelling strength of Revit.

By employing the 3D modelling functionality of Revit efficiently, CADS RC3D facilitates the rebar being splitted into particle groups (bar ranges). Besides, bar marks are formed and managed, detailed reinforcement (shop) drawings are produced with the single click of mouse.

Bar bending schedules are generated automatically and material lists are exported to external production software file formats like BVBs, aSa, Soulé and Excel.

With it’s user-friendly functionality, it is possible to produce 2D detailed reinforcement (shop) drawings from Revit models.

Unique annotation functions offer ticking & tagging of bar ends in different user-defined styles.

Supplementary annotation functions are generated to detail tapered ranges and mark rebar ends.

Modelled rebar is divided into physical zones inside each element of the structure.

Reinforcing bars are allotted to exact layers and accordingly viewed more smoothly.

Advanced editing functions facilitate rebar to be duplicated from one structure to another.

Various reinforcing bars are attached together to develop new, complicated bar shapes.

Trimming reinforcement is indicated and added around openings in the structure compliant with user’s preferences.

Rebar is trimmed and expanded to openings, detail or model lines.

Superior bar placement functions facilitates arranging new bars equivalent to other reinforcement already in the structure.

Generates Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) that adheres to UK, US and other country standards.

Reinforcement is ‘called off’ in the by element ‘release’ or ‘drawing sheet’ and then managed consequently.

The BBS and ‘bar lists’ are provided onto drawing sheets or printed with industry standard reporting templates

BBS and bar list templates can be easily tailored to abide by company standards.

How to use group tool in Revit for multi-storied buildings

This is a very useful tutorial for Revit users. The tutorial presents brief guidelines on how to apply group tool in Revit with repeating levels when working with multi-storied buildings.

If any buildings contain various floors and the floors are equivalent, then group’s tool can be used to simplify and speed up the process as well as create any modifications rapidly to all the floors.

Given below, some handy tips to create a group in Revit :-

Create a group by selecting the components or existing groups, and utilizing the Create Group tool.

In a project view, choose the required components or existing groups to be needed in the group.

Click Modify | Multi-Select tab  Create panel  (Create Group).

Note: If one element type is only chosen, the respective Modify | tab shows rather than the Multi-Select tab.

In the Create Group dialog, provide a name for the group.

Note: The name of this dialog will differ on the basis of the types of components which are already been selected.

In order to open the group in the group editor, choose Open in Group Editor.

The group editor facilitates you to include or exclude components from a group, attach detail groups (for model groups), and view group properties.

Click OK.

How To Use IES Light In V-Ray For Revit

This video is created by Chaos Group that shows how to apply lights (IES lights) in V-ray for Revit.

IES light type is applied to load and render naturalistic light distribution profile files (IES files). The icon is available in the V-Ray main toolbar.

V-Ray for Revit is compatible with IES lights in the project. If the IES light files are untraceable in any of the search paths in v-ray, it applies a generic IES file that lusters light uniformly in all directions.

An IES file refers to a text file that defines the depth of a light source at points on a spherical grid. It offers more photorealistic lighting effects in rendered images as compared to other types of light distribution.

V-Ray for Revit facilitates to enable and disable light groups in the Revit. Light groups are obtained by selecting the Rendering Settings in the view properties of the view to be rendered, and clicking on the ‘Artificial Lights’ button. This button is activated if the lighting scheme is arranged to a mode with artificial lights allowed.

Tips to improve the Revit Templates

Revit Project Templates provide a beginning environment and standards for new projects and project templates are used as either the default templates or define custom templates to encourage office standards. Besides of giving a beginning point for a new project, a project template also provides view templates, loaded families, defined settings and geometry etc.

After installing Revit software in the system, it opens various templates for different disciplines and types of building projects while users can also create project templates to locate specific needs or to ensure observance to office standards. As Revit has lot of facilities and tools for the users, it has become the favorite one of the architects, designers, project managers, virtual construction modelers and BIM managers.

This article is ideal for the Revit users who want to know more about the Revit Templates and the process to improve their projects and method of work.

Use Templates in files and views: Viewer templates are very useful and the people who work with Worksets find some difficulty to configure the visibility of every Workset. So this template helps to see the limit of views, the appearance of categories, filters and many more; using templates also makes the views standard and make them faster.

1. Use Worksharing: Most of the people are not aware about the templates and still create separate models of a project and then keep them in separate files to join them together, it is a time taking work. In Revit the entire project can be developed and made with the whole team in the same time in a file; where people can do different tasks in a same time like modeling the topography, working with structures, finalizing the architecture, detailing interiors etc. Basically in Revit, people can model an entire project in a same time and can create clash detection to detect the interference.

2. Use Shared Families: When any team works on similar projects with similar benefits and have a group of families that is always together or in toilets or MEP solutions, using the shared-families will unite them all while the editing and measuring can be done separately.
3. Crete Assemblies: The worst thing in detailing things in Revit is making every view and here Montage helps to bring together families of different categories and make a single element with a list of views.
4. Group and organize the views: In Revit, designers can create separate documents, Preliminary Study, Architecture etc. organize them and filter the views as per need.

5. Allot a code for everything: When the subject matter is numeric it is better to organize, parameterize and categorized them as per order like assigning codes; it will help in filtering exactly as per the needs of users.
6. Learning to leader the phases: Phases are one of the smarter things in a project program as it help with ideas, designs and manage the difference between the old and new; also impress the customers and create numeric and tables.
7. Use the Parts: Parts can separate the walls from each other and can help to create wonderful detailed walls with separate structure, finishes, details etc. Users can hide some parts or delete parts to manage the walls.
8. Creating a board: Revit has previously made the families of boards with different sizes but it is better to have a single family of boards with different sizes mean only one family with everything.
9. Purge: As the Revit models are huge, templates help to keep them in order but unnecessary templates are a burden, the Purge command deletes the unnecessary ones.
10. The drawing options: This advantage Draw Options tool allows creating different proposals within the one Revit file.
