Until next time, consider either ‘library’ or ‘source’ files, or even placing ‘temporary’ content examples in a phased-out-of-date view, as shown in the image below.The modern successor of AutoCAD, Revit is an extremely diverse software capable of high potency BIM implementations.
Alternatively, you can have Kelar Pacific guide your team through the process, or even develop a project template 1.0 for you! You’ll also find how-to’s to help you get started! Set it up once and use it often.Īs we progress through the series, we will dive deeper into defining the needs and other topics. This alone eliminates wasted hours for each team and can be replicated on every project easily. HINT: Place one Tag of each type – yes, all of them – in the project template. Naming convention strategy (image below illustrates one idea for Tag naming/numbering).HINT: Find a screen capture software that can obtain “scrolling web pages” and the full categories list will be ascertained easily.You might even include a list of all the agreed upon families to use for each project. Create a column for “priority” and you’re off to a great start. Create lists of the existing Revit categories similar to the “Model Object Styles” chart shown.It is important to document these plans so one can roll out any work efficiently and drive toward consistency. The human needs revolve mainly around training and process(es). Human needs such as training and more will be discussed in future sessions. I like to break out the assessment planning into the following buckets: 1) Content Needs and 2) Human Needs.Content will break out per each Revit category ultimately, and shall include annotations, filters, etc. Since we are focusing on the assessment of big-ticket items, let’s strategize the topic further. What are the big buckets of items we need to develop into a project template? Well, if you hit the Internet and ask, you might find more than expected. We will dive deeper in future posts and workshops, but first things first. In construction, planning translates to more projects and profit! Once the bullets begin to fly – when planning is done, and the project starts – the original plan may adjust a bit, but most if not all, big picture items will have been at least considered. Remember Winston Churchill’s related quote: “Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential.”īecause the act of planning allows, no, generates an environment of greater and growing knowledge and quality. Assess what one needs – when and how – before moving to what one wants. In this endeavor we want to distinguish our “needs” from “wants,” with “needs” obviously being our priority. The best way to create predictable success is to plan the work first, then follow the plan. Defining Needs, Prioritizing Wants – Episode 1Įvery Revit project begins with a template, either a good one, or otherwise.
