Managing Your Fabrication Database’s Transition to Revit

The largest challenge when moving from Fabrication CADmep software to Revit software is your database. Your Fabrication Database has been altered and added to for many years now. But how well will it convert to Fabrication Parts in Revit? The class will review lessons learned from assisting many MEP organizations (from all three disciplines) to successfully move. The class will review tools developed by AEC Resource and MSuite to help you evaluate and prepare your database for the conversion. The tools can help you understand which items in your database may not convert properly, why they might not convert, and how to clean up the properties in your database. The tools will tell you which parts will transition well, and what do you do with those that won’t. When do you look at Revit Families to fill the void in your database transition? Moving a project using a .MAJ export from either Fabrication CADmep or Revit means you most likely will have some errors. Tools from MSuite will help identify and locate those errors.
