How often have you heard, “That’s how we have always done it” or “That’s not how we do/did it in CAD”?  For most of recorded history hand tools were used to fabricate buildings and furniture, and now we use computer controlled robots to 3D print concrete and cut out flat pack furniture.  Scribing measurements on a story stick just doesn’t work with a robot.  Bridging the gap between what has been an efficient workflow using one tool and understanding the more nuanced behavior of a new tool can be a tricky task.  

Revit implementation is often touted as a 50% or greater time savings over a CAD workflow.  This is very achievable for the same deliverables, but most firms don’t end up seeing this savings in labor, and some see dramatic increases in production hours.  As offices switch over from CAD to Revit, whether fully, piecemeal or while continuing to maintain a CAD work, a lot of methodologies and graphical elements are maintained for various reasons that negatively impact getting the most out of Revit.  It can be hard to set aside long standing practices, but as we once set aside Tsquares and dip pens for parallel bars and technical pens, we set aside those for CAD and plotters, the architectural field has changed how it created construction documents.  Changing to a modeled building design workflow requires revisiting tools and methodologies that we’ve become accustomed to.  This class will address several common hangups that occur at various levels of user and management.   

This class will look at what is practical to hold on to vs what actually costs firms time and money, and finding some “easier ways” to generate more accurate construction documents more quickly..

Participants will be presented with multiple workflow issues that are common architectural practice which reduce efficient workflow and accuracy.  They will be presented with best practices and creative workarounds to mitigate those problems

This presentation is intended for Revit users, BIM managers, and Project Managers for small to midsized firms.  Information will be presented that can be utilized by a novice working in a welldeveloped Revit program, by a newer Revit manager trying to transition a firm,  to an established BIM Manager seeking to improve their office user workflow.
