Use Revit Software To Streamline The Modeling Process

By Mayra Pierce


In the construction industry, there have always been certain computer programs that have dominated the market. This helped in the way that sharing of files between the professions linked to a project became easier and a quicker method of adding to the drawings for construction purposes. However, Revit Software is a revolutionary way to move forward in this realm, and is even easier for communication and automation purposes.

The professional will be able to design all of the processes and components that a building requires from a 2D architectural digital drawing to a 3D model in this exciting program. Often, the clients are not able to envision what the final outcome will look like, and with the 3D advantage, are enlightened immediately. This concept is often the deal-breaker, since no matter how good the flat D renderings are it somehow does not communicate as efficiently as its 3D counterpart.

Gone are the days where each line on plan had to be extended for a section to be created manually. Now, by keying in the parameters for wall heights, slab thick nesses, roof pitch etc. The clever package automatically creates the related drawings to the highest quality of detailing. This time-saving tool thereby also saves money.

The program is also however very useful to the designers in terms of tracking the progress, and the diligence to the scheduled time-line. There are often many designers and team members involved in a large-scale project, and each one can log onto the server to update their particular section in real-time for all to see and progress from. This is a time-saving device, especially since changes often delay the process, since all members need to adjust their own drawings to accommodate them.

This interactive and detailed graphic representation of the finished product is an essential communicative tool which the client will thrive on. Their perception of how it will look in reality is enhanced and well understood. The designers can also detail certain items in 3D and use it as a construction method tool directly accessed by the contractors. Perhaps it can even be used to alert the professional teams of any changes that have taken place, and which might affect their work too.

The client would be fascinated and awe-inspired to see a graphical representation of what the completed product would look like in reality. Their vision is enhance through the clever use of similar materials or finishes as is offered on the sample list. They now have something to locate those materials to.

Its advantage also lies in the semi-automatic way in which it works. Thereby, allowing the creators of a building to focus on the design, rather than the late night stress sessions trying to get all of the drawings done. Sections, elevations and 3D renderings can automatically be created while the plan is being drawn.

Communication for any project is a key element in terms of its success. The beautifully detailed 3D graphics which are created within the program space are an excellent communication tool, between not only all involved professionals, but vitally to the clients too. The designers can communicate intention for detailing to the contractors more efficiently, and this save precious time and money.
