revit.... erm help please
I work within a small company and we have been told by a fairly large client, that if we are to continue working with them, we need to submit individual icons of each of our products.These will then be used within the drawings prepared by their M&E consultant.
What we are talking about here are light fittings.
Am I right in thinking that these are some form of 3D model of each product, possibly with properties.
If so can these be created without revit and might they include properties such as the photometric files ? hi
you can create what you want in Revit (a family file) but unless the M&E consultants use Revit, it will be useless to them. Thats my point...
we don't have revit, nor can we afford to invest in it for a single customer.
We have been told we have to provide icons for our products for the M&E consultant.
So can in be converted/imported from another format such as Autocad ?
And if the file is to carry properties.... what might these be for a light fitting ? can you give a rough idea of what you need doing, ie the fitting?
and i can see if it can be done in revit and/or autocad. I don't know much more than what I have put in my initial post....
but here is the request in full from our client.
In the case of ourselves, the equipment we supply are luminaires. Hi there,
I suppose this is a bit late, but yes, you can nodel items in autocad and use them in Revit, not that they will be much use though.
It is difficult to have the amount of information that Revit can handle in respect to the families in an autocad object. Revit is so much more advanced as far as product information, ies, materials etc.
I know the software is on the pricey side, but it is well worth it. Revit and BIM are increasing in popularity and it will replace 2d drafting eventually.
