Existing conditions modeling for operations layout and planning

Course overview

This learning series introduces the topic of existing conditions modeling in the context of operations layout and planning. You will learn how an existing Revit design can be simplified and exported in a 2D format to facilitate operations layout in the context of the existing facility. For cases where there is no existing CAD data for the facility, we'll also cover how 3D scan data of a facility can be used to develop a PointCloud model in ReCap. Both methods ensure design teams have an accurate representation of the existing facility before beginning the operations layout and planning process.  

Having completed this learning series, you will be able to:

• Define facility sections using 3D views in Revit.
• Reduce level of detail using categories and subcategories.
• Export a Revit model to an AutoCAD drawing format.
• Understand the ReCap overview and introduction to ReCap projects.
• Look at 3D scan registration in ReCap Professional.

Before you start

• Please make sure you have the Revit and ReCap Professional software loaded.
• If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support.
