Revit IntroductionRevit Introduction
* Level Of Detail (LOD): In order to efficiently manage the process of
working in a BIM workflow, the industry has adopted a formal language
of describing the completeness of a digital model at a given point in
time. This language is “Level of Development” (LOD). LOD, in the BIM
world, ranges from 100 (basic/conceptual) to 500 (highly
detailed/precise). It is not unusual for levels of expected development
to be part of the contract.
For Example:
* LOD 100 = there is a chair
+ LOD 200 = there is a chair that has nominal space requirement of
500x500
* LOD 300 = there is a chair with arm rests and wheels
* LOD 400 = manufacturer and model number.
+ LOD 500 = manufacturer and model number, supplier, date purchased
And in our workflow
* LOD 100 = conception about the project
* LOD 200 = Detail Design
* LOD 300 = shop drawing
* LOD 400 = Bell of Quantities
* LOD 500 = As Built and facility Management
Notes:
* Allthe disciplines should use the same Revit version
* You have to open the file from inside the Revit file to control either we
are opening a new local or detached fileRevit File

template
Project Template: Use project templates as a starting point for new
projects. Use the default templates, or define custom templates to enforce
office standards.
A project template provides a starting point for a new project, including
view templates, loaded families, defined settings (such as units, fill
patterns, line styles, line weights, view scales, and more), and geometry, if
desired.
So you can control your usual used (Families ~ settings — options — color
settings - visibility)

Work SharingWorking Sharing
* Work Sharing: A design method that allows multiple team members.
to work on the same project model at the same time.
= = panies :
central model: The master project model for a work shared project. The
central model stores the current ownership information for all elements in
the project, and acts as the distribution point for all changes published to
the file. All users save their own local copies of the central model, work
locally, and then synchronize with central so that other users can see their
work.Work sharing
Some Defi
itions:
local model: A copy of the project model that resides on the
computer system of the team member who is working on the model.
When worksharing is used to distribute project work among team
members, each member uses a local model to work on his or her
workset (functional area). Team members periodically save their
changes to the central model so that others can see the changes and
update their local model with the latest project information.

Detached FileWork set
Work set: A collection of elements in a project. For architecture,
worksets typically define discrete functional areas, such as interior,
exterior, site, or parking.
For building systems engineering, worksets can delineate functional areas
such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or piping.
When you enable worksharing, you can divide a project into worksets,
with different team members responsible for each workset.
sm BosscaneerneWork set
element borrowing: Allows you to edit an element that you do not
‘own. If no one owns the element, permission to borrow is automatically
granted. If another team member is currently editing the element, that
team member is the owner, and you must place a request or wait for it to
be relinquished so that you can borrow it.
For Example:
1) Hot water/ return pipe work sets
2) Cold water pipe work set
3) Potable water pipe work set
4) Waste/soil Drain work sets
5) Vent piping work setsEditable = yes ( | can change it because I’m the creator if | want it to be

Owner = (Mohamed) (the computer name)
Borrowers = nothing (if there is a borrower his name will be in the
borrower cell)To Control the ownership:

* Draw Fire Fighting systemYou can group elements in a project or family and then place that group
many times in a project or family. Grouping elements is useful when you
need to create entities that represent repeating layouts or are common
to many building projects, such as hotel rooms, apartments, or
repeating floors. With each instance of a group that you place, there is
associativity among them. For example, you create a group with a bed,
walls, and window and then place multiple instances of the group in
your project. If you modify a wall in one group, it changes for all
instances of that group, simplifying the modification process.The elements of an array can follow a line (a linear array), or
they can follow an arc (a radial array).When creating an
array, you specify the distance between elements using
either of the following methods: Specify the distance
between the first and second elements. (Use the Move To
2nd option.) All subsequent elements use the same spacing.
Specify the distance between the first and last elements.
(Use the Move To Last option.) All remaining elements are
evenly spaced between them.

Filters provide a way to override the graphic display and control the visibility
of elements that share common properties in a view.For example, if you
need to change the line style and color for 2-hour fire-rated walls, you can
create a filter that selects all walls in the view that have the 2-hour value for
the Fire Rating parameter. You can then select the filter, define the visibility
and graphic display settings (such as line style and color), and apply the filter
to the view. When you do this, all walls that meet the criteria defined in the
filter update with the appropriate visibility and graphics settings.

Mechanical SettingsMECHANICAL SETTINGS
The appearance and behavior of the systems components in a project are
determined by the settings for each discipline.
Electrical Settings specify voltage definitions, power distribution systems,
wiring parameters, cable tray and conduit settings, and load calculations.
Mechanical Settings determine the behavior and appearance of the
ductwork, and piping for duct, piping, plumbing, and fire protection
systems in a project. See Duct System Settings and Piping System Settingsdiez | Clipboars Geamety

Whenever a system is selected in a plan view, you can use the
Generate Layout tools to specify slope and routing parameters for
ductwork and piping, to view different layout solutions, and to
manually modify layout solutions for the system.
You use the Generate Layout tools to create piping or duct layouts to
connect system components. When creating either a single-level or
multiple-level layout, you use the same workflow.

Clash DetectionInterference Check
Locate invalid intersections between elements in a project. The
Interference Check tool can find intersections among a set of selected
elements or all elements in the model.
+ Typical Workflow for Interference Checking
This tool can be used during the design process to coordinate major
building elements and systems. It can be used to prevent conflicts and
reduce the risk of construction changes and cost overruns.

Shop DrawingTo apply tags to elements based on their categories, use the Tag by
Category tool.
Before attempting this procedure, load the necessary tags for elements
that need a tag. See Loading Tag Styles.
Click Annotate tabTag panel (Tag by Category).
On the Options Bar:
To set the orientation of the tag, select Vertical or Horizontal.
After you place the tag, you can change its orientation by selecting the tag
and pressing Spacebar.
If you want the tag to have a leader line, select Leader.
Specify whether the leader should have an Attached End or a Free End.
If desired, enter a value for the length of the leader in the text box next to
the Leader check box.
Highlight the element to tag, and click to place the tag
After the tag is placed, it is in edit mode and can be repositioned. You can
move the leader, text, and tag head arrow.

A schedule is a tabular display of information, extracted from the
properties of the elements in a project. A schedule can list every instance
of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple
instances onto a single row, based on the schedule's grouping criteria,Session 10
