Design Options in Revit 2014

What is Design Option?
As a designer, you need to come up with multiple design ideas, so that you can select the best option that suits the functional, aesthetical, and economical requirement of your project. Therefore, you need to develop and evaluate several design options and then execute the best possible design option for your project.
Advantage of Design Options?
The Design Options helps you speed up your project by providing you the options to create and develop several alternatives of a single model. For example, you can use the Design Options tool to develop three options of a Kitchen for a residential layout, featuring different materials and space utilization.

How to Apply Design Opitons?
In Autodesk Revit 2014, you can  create different design options by using the Design Options tool. You can invoke this tool from the

What Is Meant by Parametric?

About Parametrism

The term parametric refers to the relationships among all elements of the model that enable the coordination and change management that Revit provides. These relationships are created either automatically by the software or by you as you work.
In mathematics and mechanical CAD, the numbers or characteristics that define these kinds of relationships are called parameters; hence, the operation of the software is parametric. This capability delivers the fundamental coordination and productivity benefits of Revit: change anything at any time anywhere in the project, and Revit coordinates that change through the entire project.
The following are examples of these element relationships:
  • The outside of a door frame is a fixed dimension on the hinge side from a perpendicular partition. If you move the partition, the door retains this relationship to the partition.
  • The edge of a floor or roof is related to the exterior wall such that when the exterior wall is moved, the floor or roof remains connected. In this case, the parameter is one of association or connection.
  • Windows or pilasters are spaced equally across a given elevation. If the length of the elevation is changed, the relationship of equal spacing is maintained. In this case, the parameter is not a number but a proportional characteristic.
  • Revit Structure
  • Rebar is spaced equally across a given element. If the length of the element is changed, the relationship of equal spacing is maintained. In this case, the parameter is not a number but a proportional characteristic.

Autodesk Inventor 2014: Export in Revit (new features)

Revit and Autodesk Inventor Interoperability

Introduction
Autodesk Inventor 2014 has added capability to enhance the interoperability with Autodesk Revit in the BIM workflow. In this webcast you will see how using Inventor’s new BIM Simplify tools you can now get a Part ready to export to a .RFA to be used in Revit. A native Revit Family file can be exported using Export Building Components in the BIM Exchange environment for Part documents. In addition, Connectors, Properties, Parameters, Orientation, Category and Insertion Point information can be added to the Revit Family file format.

Creating Building Pads in Revit

The terrain is called a “Toposurface” in Revit, and an Autodesk Revit “Building Pad” will automatically cut through a toposurface.  Usually this cutting boundary follows an outline of your building’s basement walls or follows along a retaining wall.

The building pad is a toposurface hosted element and can be added only to an existing topographical surface. This Building Pad tool will be activated in the Model Site panel only if there is an existing toposurface in the drawing.


                                                                        Building Pad

While creating a building pad, sometimes it is necessary to provide a slope for drainage facilities. Revit allows you to add slopes using the Slope Arrow tool to the building pads.

Project Octopus: Autodesk

About:
Project Octopus is a free technology preview that allows designers and engineers using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis to seamlessly access data and results with Microsoft Office Excel.
Overview
Project Octopus helps designers to easily develop "user defined" calculations that complement Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis results. Project Octopus is fully integrated in Microsoft Office Excel as an Addin and allows accessing data and results from an Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis model using simple Excel formulas. Users are able to select a formula from a predefined list using wizard dialogs or using typical Microsoft Office Excel workflows. Each formula takes as arguments a set of parameters that can be written directly inside the formula, which may come from specific cells or from an active selection within Robot Structural Analysis. Once the link has been made with Project Octopus, data is available for post processing with Excel formulas, graphs, pivot tables, and other methods present in the application.

With this approach, Project Octopus enables a dynamic link between Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis and Microsoft Office Excel, eliminates copy/paste or CSV import/export steps, and removes the need for programing skills and knowledge of Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis API to extract data for use in spreadsheets.
Availability
Project Octopus will be available until June 1, 2014.
System Requirements
- Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2014
- Windows Platform
  • Windows 8 (64-bit)
  • Windows 7 (64-bit)
- Microsoft Office
  • Microsoft Office Excel 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • Microsoft Office Excel 2010 (32-bit and 64-bit)
The system requirements for the Project Octopus are the same as the 64-bit version of the System Requirements for Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2014 software. Note that it is highly recommended to keep software up-to-date.
