Increasing Autodesk Revit Productivity for BIM Projects

By: Fabio Roberti, Decio Ferreira

Overview of this book

Increasing Autodesk Revit Productivity for BIM Projects takes a hands-on approach to implementing Revit effectively for everyone curious about this new and exciting methodology. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, this Revit book begins by explaining the principles of productivity in Revit and data management for BIM projects. You'll get to grips with the primary BIM documentation to start a BIM project, including the contract, Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), and BIM Execution Plan (BEP/BXP). Later, you'll create a Revit template, start a Revit project, and explore the core functionalities of Revit to increase productivity. Once you've built the foundation, you'll learn about Revit plugins and use Dynamo for visual programming and Power BI for analyzing BIM information. By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of Revit as construction and design software, how to increase productivity in Revit, and how to apply multiple workflows in your project to manage BIM.

Summary

In this chapter, we have learned that effective collaboration with consultants can increase team performance, but it is necessary to have good communication, trust, and defined processes to exchange information.

Strong leadership can support teams to improve collaboration and focus on achieving business objectives. The collaboration strategy should be well defined to support the teams, and further information can be added to the BEP and the responsibility matrix. The interview with Ricardo, Marzia, and May enhanced the discussion about the strategy for collaboration.

We provided an overview of technologies for collaboration using Revit, including, VDI, the Autodesk cloud, and Revit Server.

We explained using the Revit Copy/Monitor command to increase project coordination and productivity when coordinating levels and grids. The Coordination Review command helps us detect when a grid was moved from a linked file, and we can decide to postpone, reject, or accept the difference...
