BIM library / Custom Revit Family Creation

A collection of intelligent virtual 3D objects known as BIM objects provides extensive information about a product or component's physical features, such as its shape and graphical representation. The BIM object can be used in the BIM model of the project in which it is to be employed since it precisely replicates the real-world behavior and requirements of the product itself. Product manufacturers typically include BIM objects in the product catalogues that project engineers and architects use to find a particular product.

Every item contains a set of metadata, including information about the model number, warranty, standard information, technical datasheets, and NBS requirements. Components objects and layered objects are the two different forms of BIM objects. The component objects are product models, such as windows, doors, boilers, etc., that have a particular 3D geometry. Layered objects, also known as material objects, are product models for things like carpets, roofs, walls, and ceilings that don't have a clear geometry or scale.

ON-SITE BIM SUPPORT

In order to ensure that any changes to a family type are updated and reflected instantly throughout the project that uses that family type, for example, if the dimensions of a window type are changed, all the windows of the same family are instantly updated throughout the project, custom revit family creation is the process of creating a library of building products or mechanical components. This is typically done using the Autodesk Revit platform. Parametric Revit families are those types of Revit families. The project owner can keep a centralized building information model for the project with the aid of the use of such intelligent or parametric families.

Using a specification sheet or product cut sheet, 2D CAD drawings, sketches, or even files provided in AutoCAD, Solidworks, Fusion 360, InfraWorks, 3DS Max, SketchUp, etc., we may construct parametric objects. Depending on the needs of our customers, we can also convert existing 3D CAD geometry into BIM objects.

Benefit of Revit Family Creation Services

Any modification to a Custom Revit family is updated and reflected throughout the project file where this particular family is being utilised, which is its major benefit. The primary advantage is hence "Speed with Accuracy" (along with the reduced cost of failure).

  • Quality: It lessens inconsistency and aids in the development of more precise models.
  • Speed: All changes made to one object affect all other objects in the project.
  • Detailed Report: The construction process is made simpler by the design elements' classification.
  • LOD: Revit allows for the creation of objects with LODs ranging from 100 to 500.
  • The establishment of Revit families guarantees that BIM models meet industry requirements.
  • Reusability: Loadable families can be used in both current and future applications.
  • Enhanced floor plans
  • Increased plan communication
  • Impressive 3D modelling in Revit for marketing
  • Sophisticated planning
  • Professionalisation of projects
