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 learned that the information within BIM models is our most valuable asset, and information management is an essential process to improve productivity in Revit.

Moreover, we can now understand the importance of Revit productivity via a methodology that enables you to research for quality information before you start a task. Additionally, the associated time management techniques can increase your productivity in Revit.

We explained Revit's technical key factors to improve productivity and the process to specify the best workstation for Revit. Finally, we learned about successful strategies to implement BIM and create a training scheme for your company.

In the next chapter, we will cover project data management and learn about the critical data required to start a Revit project, appointment overview, BIM documentation, project functions, asset management, and establish a plan of action to begin a BIM/Revit project.
