10 Revit Blogs to Make Your Job Easier. Overview from the BIM Manager

Below is a selection of blogs for everyone working in Revit: designers, engineers, and architects. These blogs will help you automate the chore and get your tasks done faster. Below, I - Mekhontsev Andrey, BIM manager - explain to whom and how each of them will be useful.



If you don't feel like reading, watch my video:





1. Alexander Zuev



For whom. For designers of drawings KZh and KM.



Who is the author. Alexander is the developer of his own Weandrevit template. This template is used by many companies to develop drawings for KZh and KM brands. Who does not know, a template is a pre-configured file with specifications, design graphics and families.



What's on the channel. In his videos, he helps to create and arrange drawings of KZh and CM in Revit based on a personal template.
In one of the videos, Alexander shares a Dynamo script that allows you to mark a pile field in Revit . In the video, he demonstrates how the script works. Alexander talks about how the script works and how to download it on the website - there is a link from the video description.


2. Sergey Kovylin



For whom. For architects and designers looking for life hacks to make their work easier.



Who is the author. Sergey is a constructor with 9 years of experience and Expert Elite status.



Who does not know, Expert Elite is such an Autodesk program. The company introduces those who help other Revit users to work more freely in the program, promote the Autodesk line and have you-you-know-what expertise. If you are, apply . Everyone in this community is considered one of the best professionals. New arrivals are given a special certificate, access to exclusive courses and the right to attend closed meetings.



What's on the channel.Sergey tells how to create and arrange drawings of KZh and CM in Revit, but already based on a template from Autodesk. The author has dedicated an entire playlist to this template.
I recommend watching the video "AURU 2018 Revit Life Hacks for the Designer". There are many useful features.



For example, Sergey tells how to make a specification for reinforcement cages in order to calculate them. At the same time, he creates it using the basic functions of Revit. This is good - not everyone can program Dynamo. But this is a labor-intensive way: you have to spend time creating formulas.


3. Svyatoslav Ninov



For whom. For constructors who design metal structures.



Who is the author. Svyatoslav is the only one in runet who talks about Advance Steel. He also has Expert Elite status.



What's on the channel. If you are not in the subject, Revit is not adapted to the working documentation of steel structures, and Advance Steel allows you to close this gap. The program helps to create drawings of the KMD section. On the channel, Svyatoslav explains everything you need to know to work with Advance Steel.
Check out the Advance Steel Training Playlist. To get started, there is everything there: preparing models, working with the Titan plugin, wiring diagrams and everything else.


4. Alexey Babinov



For whom. This is the channel for everyone who works with Dynamo.



Who is the author. Alexey is a BIM manager with a large architectural background.



What's on the channel. Sometimes in Revita it is impossible to do something, for example, to automatically build a decoration. Alexey shares best practices that help to solve such problems
In one of the videos, Alexey explains how to batch export rvt files to Navisworks using Dynamo . This significantly removes the routine from the BIM department. It's great that you can download and edit it for yourself. But there are also disadvantages: Dynamo's performance is poor.


5. Scripts and Scriptonites



For whom. This blog is for those who program in Dynamo but don't want to watch videos. He is a group in VK.



Who is the author. Vsevolod Chugreev, Expert Elite.



What's in the group. Vsevolod, like Alexey, helps to customize Revit with Dynamo. In the group, he uploads scripts, shows how they work on a gif, and puts good music.

6.



For whom. For anyone designing in Revit.



Who is the author. Alexander is a BIM manager. Has been running its own channel for 4 years.



What's on the channel. Alexander helps users customize Revit with Dynamo and Navisworks using C #. You can go to the channel and download the script you want to automate your work. There is a link to the script under each video in the description.
In one of the videos, Alexander shares a plugin for NavisWorks . There it shows what the plugin can show, for example the volume of concrete of the selected objects. In addition: area, length and quantity. Who does not know, without this plug-in in Navisworks, it is impossible to get the indicators of several selected objects in select mode.

7. INT Lines



For whom. For architects, interior designers and those who master Revit.



Who is the author. Ivan Zyvyalev, Autodesk Authorized Trainer.



What's on the channel. It publishes video tutorials on working with Revit Architecture and creating detailed families for interiors.
Watch the video on how to create a detailed family of kitchen units.

8.Sergey Saveliev



For whom. For engineers who develop OV and VK brand drawings.



Who is the author. Sergey is a design engineer.



What's on the channel. Video tutorials on working in Revit with utility networks.

9.



For whom. For those who design water supply systems.



Who is the author. Sergey Baranov is a design engineer with 8 years of experience.



What's on the channel. Tips to help solve water and wastewater design problems in Revit.
For example, in this video, the author shows how to edit families so that nested families fall into the specification and so that the result is a full-fledged nine-graph.

10. Muratov Vadim



For whom. For network engineers OV, VK, TM and other networks associated with air and liquids.



Who is the author. Vadim is a BIM coordinator with Expert Elite status.



What's on the channel. It's about the Zen channel. In it, Vadim explains everything a network engineer needs to know: how to use specifications, how to set up collaboration on a model, and how to create families.
For example, in the article Revit: The Ultimate Guide to Specifications, the author helps budding network engineers figure out:



  • how to create specifications,
  • how to set them up,
  • count elements,
  • and change the design.


I love that such a long article is divided into 8 parts. This helps you quickly find the part you are looking for and pause reading.
If I forgot to mention any Revit blog, share the link in the comments. It will help anyone looking for Revit blogs.
