7 June 2019CAD.kz editorial team

We present new templates for preparing architectural, reinforced concrete, steel, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical documentation in Autodesk Revit 2019, plus a Revit family library for the BIM standard and a guide to Autodesk Revit templates.

Revit Project Template for the BIM Standard. Architectural Design

This template is intended for preparing architectural documentation at the design and working-documentation stages (П and РД) in Autodesk Revit 2019.

The template contains settings for a quick start and is intended for designers with basic Revit skills.

Naming conventions, modeling logic, and shared parameters are aligned with the Autodesk BIM standard.

Using this template, designers can create a BIM model and use it for common architectural tasks:

create and document building elevations, color schemes, paint schedules, façade finish schedules, and color tables;

create and document key plans, including marking, masonry, and schematic plans;

create sets of color-filled schematic plans for presentation albums;

create and document building sections, cross sections, and structural details;

extract model data into schedules, including room schedules, window and door schedules, and opening schedules;

create floor plans and schedules;

calculate room finishes;

calculate key building and apartment performance indicators, prepare the required schedules, and fill in the corresponding plan tags;

handle other tasks arising during design;

Template features:

Use of a shared parameter set developed by the BIM Leaders Club

Use of new features from recent Revit releases;

Reduced manual drawing rework and effort through extensive use of automation;

Designed to work without third-party add-ons, plugins, or undocumented features;

Minimal additional parameters, simple families, and schedules;

Maximum alignment with GOST ESKD/SPDS requirements;

Compared with the 2017 version, the template includes the following changes, new capabilities, and improvements:

An improved and expanded materials library;

An improved and expanded fill patterns library;

Additional systems for organizing views and schedules in the Project Browser

A new viewport naming system on sheets and new viewport title families;

Improved existing schedules, new color schemes, and conditional formatting for validating values;

More complete and optimized tags for various categories;

A set of auxiliary and formatted schedules for floors modeled as slab elements;

Rounding room areas in schedules and entering custom area coefficients for different rooms;

Optimized opening families that can be placed using design elevations or offsets from the floor level;

Additional and updated families (library at https://autode.sk/bimguide_library):

2D furniture and 2D plumbing fixtures for architectural plans;

Entourage objects for architectural plans and elevations;

Optimized door families;

Optimized window families and new windows for curtain wall systems.
