How construction professionals can build pile wall systems by integrating Revit 2017 and Dynamo extension for Revit

This Revit tutorial briefly explains how to apply Revit 2017 together with Dynamo for building a piled wall system. This method will be useful for contig or secant piled wall systems.

Dynamo refers to a visual programming language extension within Revit softwar. Dynamo extension can automate tedious manual Revit tasks. With Dynamo, the users can efficiently manoeuvre data, sculpt geometry, delve into design options, automate processes, and generate links amid numerous applications. Dynamo is free and supports Revit 2015, 2016, and 2017.

While developing Piled wall systems inside Revit, it requires to generate a structural wall and next 2D detail in plan to represent a piled wall system or usually set each male and female pile as well as apply the array or copy commands.

But the process becomes tedious when curves and turns are conflicted inside the path. Dynamo can easily resolve this issue and be applied for sheet piling along with secant and contiguous systems.

Apply Rebar Couplers in Revit 2017 to connect or cap rebar instances

This is another useful presentation from Autodesk Building Solutions for Revit users. One can learn how to position and revise couplers and caps to rebar and rebar sets. This is one of the useful features of Revit 2017.

Rebar Couplers are useful to detail your reinforcement drawing and document. Rebar couplers attach adjoining rebar and at the same time make the design of reinforced concrete simple.

How to access Rebar Couplers:

Structure tab Reinforcement panel (Rebar Coupler)

Modify | Structural Rebar tab Rebar Coupler panel (Insert Coupler)

Global Parameters – An exclusive new feature of Revit 2016 – R2

This Revit video will guide you making your design superior with Revit as well as make Revit 2016 as an indispensible tool for the architect, engineer or seller. The video specifically focuses on a new feature called Global Parameters in Revit 2016 – R2.

Revit 2016 R2 contains various new features and advancements. The students as well as Autodesk Maintenance and Desktop Subscription customers can only access these features for Revit 2016 software releases.

Global parameters: Global parameters convey the benefits of parametric families into the project environment to fulfill the objectives of the design in a superior way. The global parameters can be developed on the basis of a single project file which is not allotted to categories.

The global parameters can be applied to input the value of a dimension or a constraint, relating to an element instance property to put its value, or report the value concerning a dimension, in order that the value is applied in the equations of other global parameters.

Want to complete your Residential and Commercial Building Projects Quickly: BIM will Helps You.

Now Technology is everywhere and brings comfort to human beings and takes an important part to our daily life. It also takes an important part in the field of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) Industries. 

Building information modelling (BIM) is a process by which the AEC industries professionals are completing their projects in a short time. The experts are now using correct and upgraded technology (Tools) for construction across the world.

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) is one of the part of BIM process. MEP relates to Air handling units, Water pumps, Drainage Pumps, Fire fighting equipments etc. installing and design. The models of buildings are totally digitalized and made through Revit models. The model is used for clash tests and building construction professionals resolve the clashes by required changes to the design. And when the problem resolved the design, quality of the building reach to a bench mark.

So if the BIM process is follows properly and proper information provide to AEC experts, construction projects can be completed very fast with supreme quality.

How to quickly create 3D Section Views in Revit 2016

In Revit 2016 the process is significantly enhanced for setting up and tweaking 3D views through a section box to get superior view concerning design loops as well as the connection of the parts correlated with the building model.

Transforming it to high detail and demonstrating a part of the model facilitate solving design problems instantly that can produce numerous views throughout the schematic and design development stages.

The users can apply two different methods to accomplish it from any one of 3D view or 2D plan view. In order to perform it with 3D view, just window all over the parts of the model to create the section box from.

Afterward, the extents of the section can be modified through the grips tool.

The similar method can be obtained from the 2D plan view.
