Autodesk Revit

Define building boundary and setback constraints in Revit.

Launch Generative Design and set goal to 'Maximize Units'.

Input daylighting parameters via the Insight API.

Review 500+ generated iterations.

Select the optimal candidate and 'Create Revit Elements' to automatically generate walls and windows.

Link the Structural RVT file into the MEP model.

Use the 'Interference Check' tool to identify overlaps.

Assign clash issues to specific engineers via the Issues tab.

Adjust ductwork height using parametric offsets.

Re-run interference check to confirm zero clashes.

Apply Material Parameters to all building elements.

Create a 'Material Takeoff Schedule'.

Filter by Level and Phase to get precise volumes (e.g., Concrete in cubic yards).

Export schedule to Excel or link directly to Cost Management tools in ACC.

Update the model; schedules update in real-time.

Import a LiDAR Point Cloud (.RCP) into Revit.

Use 'Snapping' to align Revit walls with the point cloud data.

Utilize 'Phasing' to distinguish between 'Existing', 'Demolished', and 'New Construction'.

Generate 'Existing Condition' drawings for permit applications.

Model the HVAC system using native Revit duct families.

Assign Airflow and Pressure Drop parameters.

Use the 'Duct Color Fill' tool to visualize velocity and pressure zones.

Run the 'Duct System Inspector' to find bottlenecks in the design.

Use Revit 'Parts' to split standard walls into individual panels.

Add fabrication-level detail (fasteners, joints).

Generate Shop Drawings using automated View Templates.

Export to CNC-compatible formats or assembly instruction PDFs.

Populate Revit elements with COBie data (Asset ID, Manufacturer, Install Date).

Verify data completeness using the BIM Interoperability Tools.

Export the model to Autodesk Tandem.

Link live IoT sensors to the Tandem model for real-time facility monitoring.
