1. ENGINEERING THE FUTURE WITH REVIT

2. Architects & Engineers  How many times do we feel like this? This is the 10 th revision already!! What is this column doing through this window!!?

3. Architects & Engineers  Why do Architects and Engineers get frustrated? –They overlook each other’s work –They use different tools –They work differently

4. Revit Architects & Engineers  Do Architects & Engineers have to worry about the each other’s changes? NO!  Is there a way to use each other’s design without extra work or hassle? YES!  Revit lets us exchange information without doing extra work

5. Coordination between Architect & Engineer  How do we share designs? –Model Cross-Linking  Formal way  Theo’s shortcut way  Designs done independent –Workset Sharing  If common network available  Designs on same model file

6. Model Cross-linking  Designs can develop at own pace  Architect & Engineer can visualize design  Revit Building & Revit Structure models can be linked  Link Tools –Copy/Monitor –Coordination Review –Interference Check

7. Model Cross-linking  Link Tools –Copy/Monitor  Transfer Levels, Grids & Columns  Level Offsets  Note Level Difference  Links now “Live”

8. Model Cross-linking  Link Tools –Coordination Review  Reload Updates  Coordinated elements  Coordination Monitor  Choice of Actions

9. Model Cross-linking  Link Tools –Interference Check  Reload Updates  Choose Elements  Interference Report

10. Theo’s Shortcut Way  If Models are small, there is a shortcut  Link Models as before  Switch off Visibility Graphics  Check visually  Print with linked model visible

16. Some Revit Projects  Pan Africa Junction –Phumelela Africa & Ritchie Midgley –30,000 sqm Parking –25,000 sqm Retail

17. Some Revit Projects  87 Bute Ln, Sandton –JV Ritchie Midgley –14 Levels Offices –6 Levels Basement Parking

18. Some Revit Projects  Residential

19. Advantage for Architects  Seamless integration  Eliminate repeat work  No re-doing other’s work  Accurate Designs  SPEED

20. Conclusion  Together we are breaking new ground in BIM  Together we are creating a Revit community that can outperform competition  Together we can deliver projects faster  Our advantage benefits the Client
