Increasing Autodesk Revit Productivity for BIM Projects: A practical guide to using Revit workflows to improve productivity and efficiency in BIM projects

Discover how to implement Revit best practices along with Dynamo and Power BI to visualize and analyze BIM informationKey FeaturesBoost productivity in Revit and apply multiple workflows to work efficiently on BIM projectsOptimize your daily work in Revit to perform more tasks in less timeTake a hands-on approach to improving your efficiency with useful explanations, which will step-change your productivityBook DescriptionRevit software helps architects, BIM coordinators, and BIM managers to create BIM models and analyze data to improve design and construction. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has promoted a transformation in the engineering and construction industries where information is at the core of a methodology that improves productivity, providing several benefits in comparison to the traditional 2D CAD process. This book takes a hands-on approach to implementing this new methodology effectively.Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, this Revit book begins by explaining the principles of productivity in Revit and data management for BIM projects. You'll get to grips with the primary BIM documentation to start a BIM project, including the contract, Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), and BIM Execution Plan (BEP/BXP). Later, you'll create a Revit template, start a Revit project, and explore the core functionalities of Revit to increase productivity. Once you've built the foundation, you'll learn about Revit plugins and use Dynamo for visual programming and Power BI for analyzing BIM information.By the end of this book, you'll have a solid understanding of Revit as construction and design software, how to increase productivity in Revit, and how to apply multiple workflows in your project to manage BIM.What you will learnExplore the primary BIM documentation to start a BIM projectSet up a Revit project and apply the correct coordinate system to ensure long-term productivityImprove the efficiency of Revit core functionalities that apply to daily activitiesUse visual programming with Dynamo to boost productivity and manage data in BIM projectsImport data from Revit to Power BI and create project dashboards to analyze dataDiscover the different Revit plugins for improved productivity, visualization, and analysisImplement best practices for modeling in RevitWho this book is forThis book is for architects, designers, engineers, modelers, BIM coordinators, and BIM managers interested in learning Autodesk Revit best practices.
