![]() We wanted to get a pilot group up and running quickly. ![]() These are just a few of our goals in switching to Revit from true CAD applications to start out. Develop better coordinated documents with fewer RFI’s and less conflicts between disciplines. Some of the goals we wanted to achieve with the switch to Revit were, to develop intelligent models and drawings. Understanding what Revit is, and can do, was an important first step in our development. ![]() Revit is so much more than a CAD application. Some people saw Revit as the next CAD tool. Where/How did we begin? The first thing we had to understand was that Revit is more than a 3D drafting tool. Made changes and rolled out to the rest of the firm.Evaluated the pilot project upon completion.Deployed Revit to those individual’s systems.Developing a small list of individuals to be trained.So, you have Revit installed, now what? What is the next step from here? What is the plan to get Revit deployed to your firm and start utilizing the tools for more than just developing construction documents? We started by: The planning and startup process, looking into different analytical applications that integrate with Revit Structure, and the workflows with design staff. This article will focus mainly on tips for those beginning to use Revit Structural. ![]() Some of the things that we looked at were Intelligent Schedules, COBIE data, Live Renderings, IPD Workflows, integration with engineering analytical software, early coordination to resolve clash conflicts, and the list goes on. Understanding that there was so much more to Revit than just a 3D model of a building. The biggest challenge of this switch was understanding that Revit was NOT a new 3D drafting tool. Several years ago, my firm made the choice to switch from Microstation to Revit. Back February 13th, 2021 Revit Structural 2021 for Beginners
