Autodesk Revit Add-in allows the users to link their BIM to 360 Degree Immersive Imagery

NavVis, a leading solution provider in mobile indoor mapping, visualization, and navigation, just introduced a new add-in for Autodesk Revit.

The Revit users can use this add-in to associate their BIM models to 360 degree immersive imagery and point clouds which are captured with the NavVis mobile mapping system. This add-in makes the process simple for generating and updating obsolete BIM models to reveal the present condition of the building.

NavVis technology stands for a multipurpose reality capture solution that facilitates to instantly scan the present condition of large industrial and commercial properties and move the data on any device. The data is procured by the NavVis M6 mobile mapping system, an groundbreaking mobile mapping system that can scan indoor environments s at rapid speed.

The data is then visualized in the NavVis IndoorViewer, a browser supported software that streams the immersive panoramic images and point clouds.

It is now possible to incorporate the NavVis IndoorViewer with Revit BIM models through this Revi add-in. With this integration of Revit and IndoorViewer, a side-by-side comparison of the BIM model can be done and the scanned state of the building can be determined distantly from a desktop.

It facilitates the users to instantly identify the changes which were made at the time of formation of the model and the present condition was captured to accelerate the process of updating BIM models. With the incorporation of BIM and IndoorViewer, data silos can’t occur and the planning errors are decreased which may happen because of outdated information.

The Revit users who install the add-in can access the added value of the NavVis IndoorViewer, which range from adding and pursuing information and mark-ups, taking measurements, determining route and online collaboration with stakeholders.

Autodesk apps can be used in the iPhone, iPad, iPod and Android and the company continuously more accessible design technology for both professional and new designers, homeowners, students and casual creators whoever wants to make and share their ideas with the outer world.

Autodesk has made a typical software development project that has a series of phases and they use this program named Intensive Residency Program and used it for Generative Design, in this article we will come to know about Generative design .

About Generative Design

it is a form finding technique that generally imitate nature’s development approach to design and also start with design aims and then investigate numberless possible exchanges to get the best option. It uses cloud computing to continue this generative design through thousands or many more years of design choices, test arrangements and can know from every loop what works and what not. Generative Design help designers to make newest options over the human can do. The outputs in most of the designs can be images, sounds, architectural models etc. is formed on algorithm and parametric modeling. So the generative design has three things, which are- a design schema, a means of creating variations and a means of selecting desirable outcomes. Engineers enter design goals into generative design software with parameters like materials, manufacturing ways and cost restrictions and by using cloud computing the software expands every possible design options that results design options to the engineer.

In any software development project there is a series of phases that is described here:

• Development

This phase has a collection of Agile sprints where the team instantly repeats to specify a little amount of usefulness, design the code to provide it, coding to know it and test it to check if it works well with the new code or not; the process is done repeatedly.

• Alpha

This testing is done to confirm the appeal of a collection of functionality fast in the method.

• Beta

This testing is done to confirm the collection of functionality is prepared to release.

• Release
• This treatment make the collection of functionality available to all.

Autodesk Generative Design team is behaving intensive residency trials with this generative design process to help the Autodesk team to catch stories and display for their valid generative design solution which carries more weight. Autodesk recently welcomed their new customers, the US Marine Corps and Innovation Forge as a part of the newly launched Autodesk Generative Design Intensive Residency where they have designed a two week intensive training program to provide the top-listed customers a chance to get Autodesk’s Generative Design. This program will be a result of collaboration between Pier 9, Marketing, Product and Worldwide Field Organizations teams where the customers will give feedbacks and share their experience.

The program activities have some supports like:

• Product Validation and Feedback:

Team members are working hard with these customers to provide support, observation and document to know how the customers are using tools.

• Customer Stories and Testimonials:

Team members are upgrading customer stories to continue the same kind of experience all the time.
