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, you have learned about Revit modeling best practices to improve users' productivity by managing CAD imports, managing views and sheets, and other tasks to improve productivity and manage design options, the purge process, and model lines.

We explained how to manage Revit content and perform additional tasks to improve productivity. We also learned extra tips for optimizing Revit's performance by reviewing warnings as well as compacting and auditing Revit files.

You learned about the Autodesk BIM 360 services that are part of the Autodesk Construction Cloud, which contains multiple applications for collaboration and coordination across all design, construction, and operation phases.

With this last chapter, we wrapped up the topic of workflows for improving productivity and efficiency in BIM projects using Revit. We hope that you all now have a better understanding of what should be done, checked, and fixed to optimize your daily work in Revit...
