The Model has useful information either graphical or non-graphical. 

Using BIM successfully requires a firm understanding of the concepts and techniques enabling its use.

What do I do?

• Control over Revit, and control over the information you are already inputting into your model as you model along.
• To create New Content – To oversee a BIM Library.

Family Parameters and Formulas drive Revit. Information begins with Parameters.

What do I do?

• Highly parametric formula-driven families (reducing the number of types per component, helping the user and avoiding delays).
• Use formulas and parameters to restrict, control and minimise mistakes.

Much of the functionality in Revit MEP-focused content is dependent on proper Connector definitions.

What do I do?

• Ensure that flow is correct and that the data the models contain is reliable.
• Validate that content works as expected with color-fill diagrams, tags and schedules.

Preparing the Architect’s Revit model for use in the MEP Project based in a collaborative workflow environment.

• Preprocess the architectural model and link it to a host MEP model.
• Configure the MEP model with Copy/Monitor levels, grids, etc.
• Create View Templates to define discipline-specific views.
• Enable Worksets to allow multiple users.

Defining Spaces and Zones with associated engineering information to determine the appropriate heating and cooling requirements for the project.

What do I do?

• Manipulate the Space information and the interaction with other geometry in the project model for the most data accuracy.
• Export the data from Revit into a third-party energy analysis program, and import calculation results back into Revit from external sources.
• Perform an energy analysis of the project directly within Revit.

Generating ductwork and pipe systems for a better understanding of the design and manage the systems more efficiently.

• Configure the Mechanical settings and Routing preferences for ducts and pipes.
• Create Views to better coordinate the placement of components.
• Use Placeholder and convert to objects, resize and annotate ducts and pipes layout.
• Locate the Room Calculation Point associated with the Spaces and fix Warnings.
• Inspect and check duct and pipe systems.
