Automatically Converting Big Revit Elements into Fabrication Ready Components

Revit lets you model things that you can’t necessarily build, which shouldn’t surprise us given that “Revit was intended to allow architects and other building professionals to design and document a building” ๐Ÿ™‚ wiki

However, in recent times Revit is getting used more and more for fabrication workflows, with core Revit features, addins, and Dynamo scripts developing to make that happen.

With that in mind, I was shared something recently and simply had to share it… check out the video below:

Basically it shows how we can quickly cut up impossibly long modelled Revit elements (like Pipes) into more ‘buildable’ fabrication lengths. Cool! The video also discusses how appropriate generic fabrication content could really begin to bridge the gaps between Revit models and actual things you can buy off the shelf.

Thanks to Nathan Moore for sharing this! And credit also to Jeremy Tammik and Pablo Derendinger.

 

I think we will inevitably see more and more automations like this that…
