No Box Required: Creatively Adapting to Client Needs Through BIM Families

This session will cover advanced techniques our BIM team uses to create customized Revit families, addressing the challenge of needing highly specific, data-rich components. You’ll learn how we use adaptive model families to ensure 2D visualization can be manipulated without affecting the 3D model, which is crucial for accurate documentation and coordination. We'll also demonstrate how these families store critical data (like location) for streamlined scheduling and legend creation. Additionally, the session will detail how we use planting templates to develop scalable families for ERP (emergency response plan) maps. This allows for easy adjustment of component size and visibility, a key factor in delivering clear and understandable security information to clients.
