Manage Multiple Revit Files

Drawing Manager from RTV Tools may take away some of your pain.

RTV Tools is best known for its RTV Exporter for dealing with weekly document deliverables, allowing your to save presets for Sheets so it becomes a one button exercise (after your visual check). There are many other hidden gems in this Revit Plugin. 

If you have worked long enough on any project with Revit as your main modelling tool, there will be times when you wished some of these mind numbing tasks would just go away. Don’t you wish you could manage all your drawing sheets, your revisions, and transmittals in one place?

RTV Tools Drawing Manager can help streamline managing multiple Revit project files in one location. 

At it’s core is an SQL Database which adds a layer of “protection?” to the Revit database. You will need to Sync with the Revit Project file to commit changes made in Drawing Manager. Which is not a bad thing, allowing for some flexibility for reversing unintentional mistakes.

The other neat tools includes: Long complex numbering systems (which are unavoidable for infrastructure projects, health projects and defense projects..) Revision requirements for construction (with history reports) and Transmittals (that lets you work with complex numbering systems. To name a few.  If you find this is the space you are in why not have a chat with us.

Wish I could do that!

Revit Survey Levels: 4 easy steps

Moving from Autocad to Revit, this and the previous tutorial (Survey Files in Revit in 4 easy steps) is for you.

Survey Levels in Revit in 4 easy steps.

If you are moving from Autocad to Revit, this is for you. (refer previous tutorial Survey Files in Revit in 4 easy steps)

This is the second of a series of tutorials to help you setup your Revit Projects quickly and painlessly; allowing you to work (or display) between Project Levels and Survey Levels.

During Sketch Design phase, detail or feature survey information are seldom available. In this phase we work with project based (Revit Terminology) levels. The numbers are smaller and easier to comprehend.

Come Design Development phase, we receive more detail survey information. We now have Planning requirements. In this phase we set up levels in Revit to show survey levels, while retaining project levels.

Learn to set up levels, using the Relocate Project tool in the Manage tab. 

If you need further explanation about the above method, please do not hesitate to contact us.
