 Features for Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP

Revit App Building Information Detailing provides a set of tools for BIM modeling | tools4revitAutodesk Revit extension Building Information Detailing (BID) provides a powerful set of tools for building model detailing and BIM data analysis.

 

 

  • Parameters (type, material and any geometrical data) of hundreds of grouped or sorted objects can be easy modified with one click of the mouse.
  • Replaces different families with the same sizes.
  • Replaces curtain walls with windows when curtain walls are used as windows in the design process.
  • “Analyze data” function groups and quantifies objects in different sections of the BIM data tree. Users can select different grouping and filter elements for analysis.
  • Calculates areas and room wall finishes (material name, gross wall area, net wall area, wall segment length and etc) and groups data in different ways.
  • Analyzing results can be exported to Excel or built in Revit legend depending on configured settings.
  • Any model elements can be easily selected using different built-in rules.
  • BID tool allows users to easily export search results to drafting views for reporting purposes.
