How to create façade lighting design with LIGHTS add-in for Revit

LIGHTS stands for a lighting design application that covers more than 70 families of lighting fixtures along with photometric web files, precise technical data, and real-life functionalities.

The LIGHTS plugin for Revit comprises of different types of lighting fixtures for various applications like industrial lights to bollard lighting fixtures for both interior and exterior. It allows its users to produce lighting design efficiently, quick and hassle-free whereas working inside the Autodesk Revit.

This plug-in allows the users to drag and drop selected lighting fixtures directly to the model and smoothly amends specifications like color temperature, beam angle or cashing color.

Step 1: Download the LIGHTS add-in for Revit.

Step 2: Explore through for choosing the right lighting fixtures for your design. The search can be done by typing or prioritizing the categories. Select the lighting fixture and press the “Use in Revit” button.

Step 3: The color, color temperature and cashing color are selected either before or after settling the lighting fixture.

Step 4: Set the lighting fixture in the architectural model.

Step 5: If required, the angles of the lights can be modified. However, the angles are limited to equal reality.

Step 6: Once the design is finished for the rooftop lighting, go to lower levels. Select a lighting fixture and press “Use in Revit” button.

Step 7: Set the lighting fixtures in the architectural model.

Step 8: Render your design.

Simplify Revit Pipework with newly launched MEPcontent Plugin

The MEPcontent product library has introduced a new Revit plugin: the Raccorderie Metalliche Product Line Placer. With this plugin, the users will be able to design with Raccorderie Metalliche metal projects more uniformly within Revit.

MEPcontent stands for an app and plugin library for engineers in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing fields, which known as "the largest BIM library for MEP engineers."

Basically, it is compatible with part-manufacturing companies like plumbing manufacturer Raccorderie Metalliche to develop manufacturer-specific content.

The Product Line Placer functions directly on top of Revit. By applying this plugin, the users don’t have to choose the proper pipe fittings for the job manually rather they have to click and draw, and the exact fittings will be added automatically.

They will be now able to draw flexible pipe systems with special bends to facilitate them drawing in each direction, or simply switch to create advanced connections with real-world fittings inspite of Revit custom fittings. Lastly, the users will be able to work with in-app predefined schedules and order required items directly from inbuilt material lists to streamline the design-to-fabrication process.

While the plugin includes the localized content for Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, it can also be utilized outside of these locations. And, while its primary selling point is pipe design, it can also be utilized for ball valves, draw-off valves, bends, compensators, reducers, and flanges.

MEPcontent is specifically designed for MEP engineers to provide practical, flexible and incessantly innovating solutions.

Autodesk launched Revit 2019.2 with some improved features

Autodesk has launched new updated version of Revit i.e. Revit 2019.2 and comprises of new connection features for BIM 360 Design platform along with various sets of design-side features for all disciplines.

The direction with Revit facilitates to include more people as possible to take part in the BIM process for superior workflows.

With worksharing several participants can co-author Revit models in the cloud with BIM 360 Design but in version 2019.2 cloud Models for Revit, facilitates the individuals—in non-Worksharing mode—to preserve their data in BIM 360 as well. It will provide huge benefits to both Revit and Revit LT subscribers.

The process becomes faster to distribute your BIM models with others since the BIM 360 platform upgrades the models for the cloud, fundamentally simplifying them for web-based delivery and remoteness. Shared participants can then avail the BIM model data in BIM 360 with BIM 360 Docs viewer, as for instance, to view and markup Revit models from any gadget.

Other “Connect” new benefits comprise of a cloud-based way to update older projects to the most updated version of Revit, better connections among civil engineers and architects, and new design-to-fabrication method for concrete structures with new CAM export features.

Create: In the area of Create, Revit 2019.2 now facilitates the users to zoom into schedules. Now, familiar keyboard shortcuts can be applied to perform so as well. The “too small on screen” blocking error is eliminated so that the objects can be moved very small distances. Revit 2019.2 will now also apply greater resolution texture on objects while using out-of-the-box textures.

For MEP Fabrication users, Revit 2019.2 offers enhancements to work with branched connections and auto-updating connection components. It is now also possible to directly edit the top and bottom elevation properties of cable tray, duct, and conduit elements, among other similar enhancements in the area of MEP.
