Project Objective:
Create 150 Revit Families of Plumbing products with all product information & detail for Facility Management.
Technology/Software Used:
Revit
Challenges:
1: All products had to be developed from scratch in Revit
2: Accurate geometry of the products while keeping the file size minimum was maintained
3: BIM objects had to be developed in a standardized format, in order to maintain product integrity as per Autodesk Seek Standard
Engineering Solution:
The project required us to develop BIM Revit families with fully functioning products for a leading MEPF – Mechanical electrical plumbing and fire fighting product manufacturer.
1: Work began with examination of PDF files provided by client
2: 2D representations with symbolic lines were created, from these PDF files. Identity and engineering data was added, to create different family types for various sizes & properties
3: Models for plumbing products like Faucet, shower and spa and Kitchen Sink with highly accurate geometry were created and content was added in a standardized format as per Autodesk Seek Standard
4: Quality check was done at each level and 150 BIM Revit families of plumbing products were handed over to the client.
Benefits:
1: Quality Revit content balances performance with design accuracy and required levels of detail. It was easy to use because it functions reliably in a range of projects and project phases.
2: The manufactured content was made available in a format appropriate for architecture and engineering documentation deliverables
3: BIM Revit family creation for plumbing products hence made these products part of the new standard, and made them likely to be used across projects with BIM based processes – particularly for facility management.
