Some weeks back I was planning on having lunch with a CAD/BIM manager from a competing firm HDR. I spent quite a bit of time at his firm consulting, and we still like to get together to discuss CAD and BIM issues. CAD Shack VIPs. Revit MEP How to Create a Lighting Fixture Schedule.

In the past I have used linked architectural views in Revit MEP to show room names, numbers and door tags. Currently the room tags are reading information from the room object in the linked architectural model and I link that view. The space object in the MEP model linkst to the room object in the architectural model.

You know this if you have tried adding a ceiling grid with Revit Structure, duct with Revit Architecture, or structural steel with Revit MEP.

Additionally, firms can leverage BIM to gain a more comprehensive view of the project to coordinate various components and make sure the project stays on schedule. To be successful, teams need a clear understanding of material needs, labor requirements, and scheduling.

There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. The architectural plan neatly sets out the column’s centre point from two nearby, perpendicular grids. The structural engineer sizes the concrete column; the architect places it in the space.

I often redefine some architectural families to be 2D in my model to keep the model size down and lessen interference issues.

And it will eventually be superseded by a new acronym for a different approach, just as BIM superseded CAD.

Revit Systems debuted early this year giving MEP engineers a third choice of CAD technology to use; it may have also caused a bit of confusion on what software is really the best for any given firm. This allows for bi-directional associativity, which means that a change to a schedule reflects in the plan immediately. See figure 2.
