BIM Managers perform the following tasks to prepare a Revit Model for facility management, integrate Revit Model data with ARCHIBUS enterprise data used for facility management, and to integrate CAD and BIM drawings by exporting to DWG format.
This section includes the following topics:
Adding a New Revit Parameter Mapping - You can add a mapping to re-use data you have in Revit parameters for lifecycle management in ARCHIBUS.
Distributing a Shared-Parameters File for Offline Editing - If you have architects or consultants who will edit the Revit model offline, then you should send them a shared-parameters file.
- Adding a New Family Mapping - Add a new Revit family mapping to map a particular family and type of element to an ARCHIBUS asset table.
- Adding a New Asset Type - Add a mapping to work with new asset types in ARCHIBUS
- Creating a View of a Shared Central Model for Lifecycle Management - Some sites will use a view into a shared central Revit model for facility management. Using a view has the advantage that the facility management view is updated in lock step with the rest of the architectural model.
- Creating a Facility-Record Model for Lifecycle Management - Other sites will use a copy of the shared central model or of the architectural model to use for facility management. This creates a simpler model that loads more quickly, and enables facility managers to make changes without affecting the architectural as-built drawings.
- Exporting to DWG Format - Using AutoCAD is one option for lifecycle management of Revit data. Once in DWG format, you can continue on to publish enterprise graphics from your data or to read the DWG files into the GIS environment.
