Getting Your Fab Documents from Revit
We all know the advantages of using Revit software for modeling and design, but when it comes to getting your MEP fabrication documents generated from the model, you better have a plan. Creating assembly drawings is a great tool, but too many of them and your model will come to a crawl. Modular fabrication and design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) have also been hot topics over the last few years, and that adds a whole new set of challenges. We will show you the tips we use to model and detail modular skids and standardized DfMA components in Revit. We'll also cover how we manage hangers and all the fabrication documents, and the methods required to make the shop and field successful.
