GENERATIVE COMPONENTS

DWG> GENERIC FAMILY > INTO REVIT PROJECT

Massing cannot be applied to surfaces
But there seems no need to be able to do that
Cuts in all views
Can dimension. Aligned dimensions work best – since twist can cause elements to no longer be parallel to screen work plane. Arcs can be dimensioned if cut, like Revit. Create point as work around.
Better when updated, since massing is not reformed.
Obviously changes made on reload will mean dimensions are lost. Small price to pay for flexibility and re-generation speed of form
Fabrication plans can be imported into Revit
Fabrication readings of x,y and z co-ordinates can be reported in schedule format through GC.
Layers can be switched off in VG to create various set-out drawings – like structural versus glazing etc.

Here are some tips of best settings from Sean Dodsworth (Bentley Solutions) when saving the GC model into a DWG format that is best for Revit®
