Ask the average AutoCAD user or Revit user if they know what it is or if they've used it and the answer all too often is, "What's that?" Obviously there is some reluctance to review drawings on screen, on the computer. The document reviewer can open the DWF sheet files and check progress on picking up changes.

A month or so ago I received an email from a friend asking about dealing with revision numbering in Revit. Apparently the project team is expecting some specific habits to be followed that Revit doesn''t support adequately. I''m all for Revit being better. I wrote this post then and let it simmer till now. 1,2,3,4,5,6.

The survey may be an old hand drawn document provided as part of the deed or it could just be a printed drawing that nobody can find the file for. We''ve captured some bearing and distance information from my old survey drawing. Also note that if the distance and bearing information is accurate enough Revit will report "closed".

A good many of us in the AEC business are familiar with the concept of using keynotes on drawings. Regardless, for us it is a system to reduce clutter on drawings by placing symbols that either carry numbers or letters or both to identify different conditions that we should look to a separate place to read more information.

Neither do those that draw, nor those that interpret drawings. Orthogonal projection is the base of most construction related graphical documentation. Nowadays, most technical construction drawings come with a tag “do not scale”! People in construction do not know how to read plans. An unfair generalisation? Unconvinced?

Some have concerns that if they provide their work in an editable format (whether BIM or CAD) some-one will make changes to their work without their knowledge and/or permission.

We use Revit families to produce our assemblies and products. I had a knack for Revit because of my residential, architecture, and building background. I applied it more in the residential space by doing house drawings and house plans, and learning the parametric modeling side for families. I think the core of BIM is data.
