Autodesk BIM Interoperability Tools for Revit 7 版本

Autodesk BIM
Interoperability Tools for Revit
New Features for Version 7
Introduction
The Autodesk BIM Interoperability Tools for Revit are a suite of Revit add-ins that are designed to support a data driven workflow leveraging the power of the Revit model as a database.
The suite of four original tools, Classification Manager, Model Checker and
Configurator, and the COBie Extension, have recently been updated with a unifying
look, more features, and user input to make assigning, validating, and sharing BIM data easier.

This guide will detail the new features that have been incorporated into the tools with this new release, Version 7.
General
There are several new features that are shared by the entire suite of tools.
Dedicated Ribbon Tab
All four tools are now accessible on their own BIM Interoperability Tools ribbon tab in Revit, making finding them easier, and reducing “clutter” on Revit’s Add-Ins tab.
Other New General Features
G.1 The tools have had their icons adjusted to align with Autodesk
colors and make it easier to visually recognize what functions are
with which tool.
G.2 Recent bug fixes have been resolved.
G.3 Users can now launch the Model Checker Configurator directly from
the Revit ribbon, instead of having to go to their Windows Start
menu.
G.4 The user interface for all tools has been redesigned from the ground up, with recent
Autodesk UI design principles applied, making a more consistent user experience
across all of Autodesk’s tools.
G.5 The suite of tools is now available as a single unified installation package, making
deployment and maintenance easier.
Classification Manager
General
CM.1 Like the other tools, the updated user interface elements and layout have been applied for ease and consistency.
CM.2 The help fly-outs have new links to multiple
resources and are accessible on all the
tool’s windows.
Setup
CM.3 The “Setup” or “Open” dialog
box has been redesigned and
applied to all the tools,
making it easier to
understand the functions of
each section and easier
adoption.
CM.4 An added list of “Recent” databases used makes it simpler for users to find the databases they access frequently.
CM.5 A “Public Library” points to a web-server hosted “standard” databases, managed by the BIM Interoperability Tools teams. This allows for easier and faster update of these
databases. As soon as the file is updated, users get access to the new database. In
previous versions of the Classification Manager, users had to download and install a
new release of the software whenever a database was updated.
Assign
CM.6 New consistent UI
elements make
navigating and using all
the tools easier to
understand across them.
The Assign tool has
realigned the original
layout to match the new
design scheme.
CM.7 The Assign tool is now “non-modal”, which means it can be used in tandem with Revit and doesn’t need to be closed as users go back to working in Revit. This will allow users to continue to leave the tool open and continue to assign classifications to selected
elements.
CM.8 Classification types (Contact, Facility, Space, Element) are now pages accessed through page index on the left-hand side, in line with navigation found in other Autodesk
applications.
CM.9 Each classification system per type is now a series of tabs along the top.
CM.10 The Number and Description parameters being filled in are now shown in the UI, so users will immediately know what Revit parameter is being impacted.
CM.11 Previous versions included a limit on how many systems each classification type can support, and this limit has been removed.
Model Checker
General
MC.1 The nomenclature and naming of elements in the Model Checker were thoroughly reviewed and updated to try to avoid confusion between the tools and Revit and to
make understanding the structure of checkset easier.
MC.2 Like the other tools, the updated user interface elements and layout have been applied for ease and consistency.
MC.3 The help fly-outs have new links to multiple
resources and are accessible on all the tool’s
windows.
Setup/Open
MC.4 The “Setup” or “Open” dialog
box has been redesigned and
applied to all the tools making
it easier to understand the
functions of each section and
easier adoption.
MC.5 An added list of “Recent” checksets used makes it simpler for users to find the checksets they access frequently.
MC.6 A “Public Library” points to a web-server hosted “standard” checksets, managed by the BIM Interoperability Tools teams. This allows for easier and faster update of these
checkset and addition of more as they are developed. As soon as the file is updated or added, users get access to them.
MC.7 New metadata has been added to XML checkset files to include Date, Author, and Description information, customizable in the Configurator.
Setup/Current Checkset
MC.8 Heading, section, and check
status are now stored in the
Revit model, not in the XML
checkset file. This allows for a
far better user experience as
“template” or “master” checks
can be more effectively
leveraged.
MC.9 Added context menus to allow for easier control of heading, section, and check status by the user.
View Report
MC.10 The report structure has been
overhauled and now matches
the checkset structure to make
monitoring and reviewing
results easier to follow.
MC.11 Each heading and section in the report now has a check results summary that gives a high-level summary of the checks in that area.
MC.12 The summary portal has been redesigned to highlight critical overall data that users need to see.
MC.13 A significant addition is the ability to export results of checks to an Excel file. This will allow collection of ongoing data and all monitoring of checks over time. The Excel file has been designed to allow for import of consistent data in BI applications.
Configurator
MCC.1 Like the other tools, the updated user interface elements and layout have been applied for ease and consistency.
MCC.2 The help fly-outs have new links to multiple
resources and are accessible on all the tool’s
windows.
MCC.3 The “Setup” or “Open” dialog box has been redesigned and applied to all the tools making it easier to understand the functions of each section and easier adoption.
MCC.4 The nomenclature and naming of elements in the Model Checker were thoroughly reviewed and updated to try to avoid confusion between the tools and Revit and to
make understanding the structure of checkset easier.
MCC.5 There has been a complete
overhaul of interface to make
understanding the function of
each check and building
checkset easier. Instead of all
features of the check creation
and structure being on a
single page, each category of
check as well as the check
structure has its own
dedicated page.
MCC.6 A total review of information tracked in the checks and checksets resulted in the removal of redundant and unnecessary data fields, streamlining the check creation process.
MCC.7 Added context menus make navigating and updating checksets easier.
MCC.8 Wizard check creation workflow has been refined to simplify the process.
MCC.9 Several new pre-built checks added:
▪Browser Organization – list all browser organization types in the model.
▪File Name – checks if the file name matches a defined standard.
▪File Size – reports the file size of the checked Revit model.
▪Imported SKP – will report the number of imported SKP files.
▪Keynotes – list all the keynotes used in the project.
▪Family File Size – reports the families in the project ordered by file size.
▪Legend List – lists the legends currently in the model.
▪Link Method – reports the link method for each link in the model.
▪Linked CAD list – report a list of linked CAD files in the model.
▪Phase Elements – list the number of elements created on each phase of the project.
▪Pinned Links – report any links that are not pinned in place.
▪Project Coordinates – report the coordinates of the survey and project base points, elevation, and true north.
▪Revit Version – report the version and build data of Revit running the check.
▪Shared Parameters File – report the path of the current shared parameters file.
▪Views Not on Sheets – reports the number of views, minus views that can appear on multiple sheets, that are not placed on a sheet.
MCC.10 A new “Unused Checks”
section has been created to
make structuring and
organizing the checkset easier.
COBie Extension
CE.1 Like the other tools, the updated user interface elements and layout have been applied for ease and consistency.
CE.2 The help fly-outs have new
links to multiple resources and
are accessible on all the tool’s
windows.
CE.3 A redesigned workflow allows access to all features from the Revit ribbon and removes
a step from each function, making it faster and easier for users to get their work done.
CE.4 The Import dialog box has been redesigned and applied to all the tools making it easier to understand the functions of each section and easier adoption.
CE.5 Parameter Mapping function is now integrated directly into Setup, removing it from its own tool.
CE.6 COBie contacts are no longer required and users can start generating COBie data earlier in the process without having to wait to finalize COBie contact information.
CE.7 The Contacts interface has been updated making it much easier to use.
CE.8 The Zones dialog has been redesigned for easier use.。
