Look through feature set for Revit Architecture 2015

CADD CENTRE

Speclookifically built for Building Information Modelling (BIM), Revit empowers construction and design professionals to bring ideas from concept to construction with a coordinated and consistent model based approach. Revit Software delivers BIM tools for architectural design, MEP Engineering, Structural engineering and construction, enabling coordination between various disciplines.
All software tools and programs always have requests to improve to bridge efficiency or technical gaps. With Revit 2015, Autodesk took note on all the feedbacks and acted on those, making Revit a version the users will be pleased to have. Following are some of the significant changes Autodesk took to reform Revit 2015 for Architecture.

Visualization Improvements

Sketchy Lines- This is a most awaited feature of Revit 2015. Revit can now, in all views, replicate the effect of hand sketching. Users will be able to set the jitter and extension controls with simple clicks to soften the appearance of the Revit Model for situations where a subtler image is needed.

Anti-Aliasing- Revit 2015 has been improved to remove the jagged lines you always hated. The new Revit 2015 allows all the views to use this feature and this works in an amazing manner.

Family Parameter Improvement

Tooltips- Many times Rivet experts create complex families and define parameters that control these families. Unfortunately, most Revit users are not supervised by their BIM Managers helping them understand how or what each parameter is doing. With Revit 2015, users are now provided with notes on each parameter defining how it works and how it should be used.

Scheduling Improvements- Schedulers in Revit are powerful tools to manage, display and quantify Building Information with quality control elements in the model. Now users can directly import images into Revit Content using Image Type (Type Parameter) & Image (Instance Parameter). These parameters are useful for either loadable families like furniture, light fixtures etc. or system families such as floors, walls, ceilings, etc.

Usability Improvements

Multiple Trim/ Extend Selection-In the previous versions of Revit tool, made users select individual items to extend or trim while using Trim/ Extend tool. Revit 2015 now allows users to select all the elements using a window that needs to be extended.

With the previous versions of Revit, the task of drawing revision cloud was a work full of hassle with all the clicking required to place each arc segment. Revit 2015, now allows users to use the basic drawing tools, including lines, arcs, eclipses and rectangles to quickly define boundaries for the Revision Cloud.

building
Tag Behavior- Users began to rely heavily on tagging elements as Revit experienced improvements in the past. The previous versions of Revit had a tedious method to tag elements, catering to that, Revit 2015 has introduced tag leaders that behave like text. The angled segment adjusts automatically while moving them in views to the tag’s placement.

These are some of the new improved feature sets that are incorporated in Revit 2015 keeping in mind the reviews and feedbacks and requests from the active Revit users. Hopefully these changes will greatly impact all Revit users making their workflow better.

Building Information Modeling workflows with AutoCAD Civil 3D

autocadcivil3dBIM– Building information modeling is not a manufactured product, article or named software program. It is just a cohesive process built on reliable information about a project from design through construction and into operations. BIM is not just for the architectural project. Even though it has its roots in architecture, the philosophies of this is applicable to everything that is assembled or built, including highways and roads, and the remunerations of BIM are being practiced by civil engineers in many ways, they are appreciated by architects.

BIM permits engineers very conveniently to forecast the performance of assignments before they are constructed, enhance designs with scrutiny, react to design variations more promptly, mock-up, and provide greater quality creation documentation. Additionally, it empowers comprehensive groups to extract valuable data from the model to enable earlier decision making and further worthwhile project delivery. Public at times associate BIM with 3D visualization, but it’s more than that. BIM creates a body of information. And that can be used from the commencement to decommissioning. BIM is a process that links all phases of a project -not a software tool or technology.
The use of documentation software to support Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflows and AutoCAD Civil 3D civil engineering design is to escalate project delivery, retain more consistent data and respond more rapidly to fluctuations.

Experience better civil projects with BIM and AutoCAD Civil 3D

Autodesk solutions take full benefit of the rich information on the intelligent 3D models. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a quick 3D model-based process that provides insight for managing and building projects more rapidly, more economically, and with less environmental influence.
Without problems create designs with intellectual objects by means a comprehensive portfolio of industry prominent software for set-up projects.

• AutoCAD Civil 3D software is the BIM solution to setup for civil engineers,     technicians’ drafters, designers, and working on transportation, water and land development projects.
•Autodesk design sets provide widespread industry resolutions for both CAD and BIM workflows in one economic and flexible package.
•Autodesk’s comprehensive portfolio increases the power of BIM, together with AutoCAD for documents, 3ds Max Design and Autodesk Navisworks, for picturing and virtual reality and AutoCAD Map3D for effective substructure development.
•Autodesk solutions take full benefit of the rich material in the intellectual 3D models.
