Concrete Lift Drawings in Revit: People, Process, and Product

A repeat of a well-received Autodesk University 2017 class, this class will cover how to create concrete lift drawings in Revit software. We will cover the people who need to be engaged; the processes (from developing an estimate to providing field layout data); and the final product of quality-lift drawings that add value for the entire project team. Attendees will learn how the concrete Revit model can become the hub for the whole concrete team and second-tier subs, and how it can also greatly enhance communication with the design team and the general contractor. This class will discuss the technical aspects of creating and maintaining a construction-level concrete model, including families, parts, and the use of pour-sequence parameters. We will demonstrate what information is important to concrete field crews, and how to effectively communicate that through Revit software-based lift drawings. Attendees will also learn how to use geometry in Revit to create point data, and then how to use that point data downstream in the layout process.
