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.

How Revit 2016 offers huge benefits to Structural Rebar Detailers

Revit 2016 is very useful for managing and operating of reinforcement elements in 3D environment.

Revit 2016 contains various tools for reinforcement modeling, detailing & scheduling. It facilitates the structural rebar detailers to automate some of the time-consuming process with the 3d database of Revit. These may include formation of bending schedules, annotation of rebar detailing drawings, illustration of complex details through 3D views etc.

Given below some of the exclusive features of Revit 2016 :-

Rebar Numbers & Partitions: This feature facilitates the structural rebar detailer to specify a common guideline for reinforcing elements inside a specific construction sequence.

Object Styles – Rebar Subcategories: This feature helps in subcategorizing the reinforcing. Earlier, the users applied filters to visually make differentiation amid rebar types, but with Revit 2016, it becomes possible to allocate subcategory parameter to specific rebar type and arrange visibility styles for those ones in the Object Styles dialog.

Rebar Moeling & Detailing: With Revit 2016, the structural rebar detailer can easily produce reinforcement plans and details as well as illustrate modelled geometry in 3D alongside with annotation of those elements.

Multi-Rebar Annotation: With multi-rebar annotations (at Annotation tab) feature, the rebar detailing workflow becomes superior. Besides, it becomes possible to set dimension amid bars and concurrently put barmarks related to these elements.

Rebar Presentation: Revit 2016 offers a graphical appearance of rebar sets. By applying it, the Rebar Detailers can display only specific bars of a set. It is ideal for slab or foundation reinforcing plans.

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.

Explore through energy analysis within Revit 2016

The users can use Revit 2016, to carry out Energy Analysis in a perfect and authentic way. The Conceptual Mass Mode and Use Building Element Mode, which contained in previous version, are now eliminated from the ribbon and are accessible in the Energy Settings dialog under the Analysis Mode pull down menu. A supplementary analysis mode-Use Conceptual Masses and Building Elements are now integrated facilitating users to carry out energy analysis on the model efficiently and precisely in case of transmitting the model from concept to detail design and the model contains these designs.

In case the chosen analysis mode includes building elements, while choosing Show Energy Model, Revit generates a 3D Energy Model view, and schedules toward Analytical Spaces and Analytical Surfaces which are analyzed and revised prior to conducting the energy simulation over the analytical model.

In Revit 2016, there exist a create energy model tool and it can be used to produce an energy analytical model. The users can view the model directly inside Revit and they don’t have to export the model through any third party programs to view it. Thus the users will gain superior control to ratify and check the energy analytical model for performing energy analysis in a greater and perfect manner.

By using IMAGINiT Clarity products, the firms can easily deal with BIM data and distribute them with owners and other project team members.

It has been detected that the IMAGINiT Clarity family of products have saved significant time for project teams (31,267 hours on 909 projects) by automating essential, but lingering tasks like printing PDFs, exporting data exchanging files, and generating data sheets.

IMAGINiT Clarity contains the following exclusive features :-

Revit/Revit Server/A360 Collaboration for Revit 2016 Compatibility. The new IMAGINiT Clarity is compatible with Revit and Revit Server 2016, 2015 and 2014 versions. Besides, it also supports A360 Collaboration for Revit and the users can get advantages with the task automation.

Next Generation Web Viewing. Users will be able to pan, zoom, walkthrough or flythrough the 3D model. If the users click on specific components, they can gain deep insight through Clarity’s datasheets.

Robust Administrative Controls. Clarity facilitates BIM coordinators, CAD managers, and project managers gather information dedicatedly that was deeply contained inside Revit. The users can track the model size, service pack versions, and the necessary time to coordinate the model with Graphical representations and logs feature. These new features facilitate the managers to recognize and resolve possible errors well in advance and keep away from lost time that may arise for model corruption.

Bulk Upload Projects in Revit Server. Earlier it required prolonged time to upload, open and coordinate each new model over the network, and re-path links properly. The whole process now becomes automatic to curtail the path to team collaboration.
