How To Use PCL PartsLab Revit Add In To Generate Unlimited Parts In Any Revit Construction Model

This Revit video tutorial is based on PCL PartsLab, a free revit add-in that can produce unlimited parts with a some simple mouse clicks. The revit add-in can be used to instantly generate, visualize and operate parts in any revit construction model.

The video includes the topics like how to examine existing and associated model content as well as produce parts from all the categories, families and types out of any linked structural design model.

There are context-sensitive hide and isolate tools in PartsLab which are used to visualize any selection of parts smoothly with just one click.

Victaulic Tools for Revit 2017 – The newest Revit add-in for fabrication design

Victaulic, just introduced an outstanding toolbar update for Revit 2017 that transform fabrication capability to new levels.

Victaulic Tools for Revit 2017 applies its product efficiencies as well as lean fabrication principles, to make the workflows simple all through the industry design and fabrication process.

Victaulic Tools for Revit 2017 improve workability inside the fabrication industry and at the same time offer advanced features to enhance coordination over workflow processes.

This newest Revit application facilitates the users to generate construction documentation inside Revit through fabrication parts. By integrating active, smart, up-to-date content in Victaulic tools, the fabrication workflows become more improved and the users get the ability to model and fabricate more competently.

The toolbar provides an intuitive, simplified interface that makes training and usage easy for both new and experienced Revit users. The add-in furthermore supports all views and is preloaded with over 100 Victaulic product families and a template specifically designed to facilitate the users to route with Victaulic, together with other manufacturers and joining technologies.

Within Victaulic Tools for Revit's 2017 update, users can avail a slew of productivity tools :-

• Generating fabrication spools

• Automating tagging

• Resizing, rotating and removing pipe sections

• Producing fully integrated assemblies

• Applying a new intelligent hanger placement tool

This Revit add-in reduces user error and improves design efficiency as well as curtails delays and costs all through the process. The software also facilitates the designers to switch to Revit conveniently, because Victaulic's advanced toolbar produces fabrication spools and bills of material. As a result, users can choose pipe sections and generate templated fabrication sheets, bills of material with material tags, quantities and part codes.

Bring your Revit model into Lumion with Revit exporters add-on

The Revit users can apply Revit exporters add-on for Revit to save any model in such a format so that it can be read directly in Lumion. Once it is installed, it can be accessed in Revit’s default (3D) view through Add-ins tab -> Export To Lumion

This Revit add-in doesn’t support Autodesk Revit LT versions.

It becomes difficult to seamlessly transmit the materials of your Revit model into Lumion through a normal FBX export.

This Revit add-in is considered as a perfect tool inside your Revit program to bring your Revit model into Lumion. The plugin can easily export any 3d view according to your choice as a collada file that can be imported into Lumion.

SDS/2 Connect 2014, an add in for Revit Structure

Design Data, a key provider of state-of-the-art BIM and 3D detailing software for the steel based engineering, detailing and fabrication sectors, just released SDS/2 Connect 2014. It is an add-in for Autodesk® Revit® Structure 2014 software and designs code-compliant connections and generate reports within the Revit surroundings. The structural engineers as well as fabricators now will be capable of designing, performing code check analysis and developing steelwork designs to fabrication inside a BIM workflow by integrating Revit structure with SDS/2 connect.

SDS/2 Connect can transmit constructible "as built" connections inside Revit Structure by bonding and reducing the gap between design and fabrication which will result in lessening design time as well as project timelines and costs. 

By setting up SDS/2 Connect, Revit Structure users can mechanically design steelwork connections and print out all the related design calculations conveniently and instantly. 

Besides, the software can convey design models for manufacturing.

Download a free version, by visiting the website at http://sds2connect.com/. In order to include the SDS/2 connect add-in to Revit structure, the users have to pay $1,500 for each license.
