1 Precast Concrete Industry Extensions for Autodesk Revit Structure 2014 Reinhard Lackner Managing Director - IDAT Join us on Twitter: #AU2013

2 Class summary This class shows how extensions to Autodesk Revit Structure software can dramatically speed up creation of precast elements. We show how to divide walls into producible panels with automatic creation of connections and reinforcement. We look at the Revit parts and assemblies. We go through the automatic creation of shop drawings and production data for the precast factory. With the defining of the transport stacks and the production line, you see the full workflow from design to production of solid wall panels inside of Revit Structure.

3 Key learning objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to: Divide walls into producible panels with Revit dividing tools Automatically create precast elements with assemblies in Revit Structure Create reinforcement for precast elements Automatically create shop drawings and data for production for precast elements

4 Reinhard Lackner Managing Director of the company IDAT/Germany Studied computer science at Technical University of Vienna Experience in the Precast Industry since 1990

5 Topics Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Section 4 Section 5 Section 6 Introduction Revit Precast Tools Configuration Define different factory settings Reinforcement for openings Automatically creation of opening reinforcement Dividing of walls Automatically and manually dividing of walls / Parts / Assemblies / Connections between the panels Shop drawings Creation of shop drawings for solid wall panels Creating data for production Machine files, external database, Stacker, Palletizer

6 Introduction

7 Indroduction What are the Revit Precast Tools? Extensions to and around Revit to support the workflow from design to fabrication for the Precast Concrete Industry Developed by IDAT ( in cooperation with Autodesk Who is IDAT? German based company developing software for the Building Industry since 1981 IDAT is Industry Partner of Autodesk since 2010 Clients in nearly 40 countries world wide Main product: Precast software for AutoCAD Architecture

8 Precast Software Modules for AutoCAD Architecture Walls Slabs Stairs Colums + Beams Facades Solid Wall / Sandwich Wall Solid Slab Girder Slab Twin Wall Hollow Core Slab TT - Slab

9 Revit Precast Tools for Autodesk Revit Structure Preview version of the Revit Precast Tools was released in 2011 First commercial module for hollow core slabs in December Both can be downloaded from the IDAT website: Each module will be released step by step for Revit Structure Next module is for solid wall panels

11 Configuration

12 Installation Standard installation folder: C:\ProgramData\IDAT\Revit Precast Tools 2014 All templates for the solid wall are stored in folders under IDATFamilies\en-US\Solid Wall The annotation for the wall panels in the sub folder Annotations The connection components and the lifters are in the sub folder Mounting Parts The profiles for the wall connections are in the sub folder Profiles The examples for title blocks in the sub folder Title Blocks

13 Factory settings For different factory settings you can change the path within the project data

14 Configuration Demo

15 Reinforcement for openings

16 Reinforcement for openings Automatically reinforcement around openings Doors Windows Openings Optional lintel reinforcement

17 Reinforcement for openings Configuration of opening reinforcement:

18 Reinforcement for openings Demo

19 Dividing of walls

20 Dividing The most important parameter are: Wall length Wall height Wall weight Gap between the panels

21 Vertical dividing

22 Horizontal dividing

23 Dividing of walls Demo

24 Parts Part is created out of wall Part automatically updated from wall Modifying part has not effect to the wall Part is divided into smaller parts (producible wall panels)

25 Parts Control the parts visibility Show Parts: shows only the parts or walls with no parts Show Original: shows only the walls Show Both: shows the parts and the walls

26 Manual dividing Change dividing with the Revit command Edit Division

27 Dividing of walls Demo

28 Wall reinforcement During the dividing the program creates the reinforcement for each wall panel:

29 Wall reinforcement Configuration of wall reinforcement with reinforcement types:

30 Wall reinforcement Demo

31 Connections The wall panels can be connected with the following options: Vertical: Profile and loops Anchor plates Horizontal: Grout pipes and dowels

32 Connections Connections with profile and loops Rules, profile and loops are defined in families Straight connection: T-connection: L-connection: T-connection with a straight connection: Non 90 connection:

33 Connections Connections with anchor plates Rules and plates are defined in families Straight connection: L-connection: T-connection:

34 Connections Connections with dowels and grout tubes Dowels and grout tubes are defined in families Rules are defined in a dialog

35 Wall connections Demo

36 Lifting anchor Lifting anchors are created according the center of gravity Types are defined in families

37 Assemblies For each part an assembly is created Assembly includes: Part Wall and opening reinforcement Connections Lifting anchors All mounting parts in the wall Unique production number Equality check -> Same panel get the same position number

38 Wall marker Wall marker shows the position number Can be defined in families Position of the marker defines the view direction for the shop drawing

39 Dividing of walls Demo

40 Shop drawings

41 Shop drawings Layout defined in title block family Available parameter: Position number of the element List of the production numbers for the element on the sheet Thickness of the element Weight of the element Concrete volume for the element

42 Shop drawings Assemblies, views and sheets in the Project Browser tree:

43 Shop drawings Example:

44 Shop drawings Demo

45 Creating data for production

46 Data for external database Data for all assemblies can be stored in an external database This contains geometric data, mounting parts and the reinforcement Lists can be created and data can be exported to ERP systems

47 Machine files for the Stacker program UNITECHNIK format (includes geometry, the concrete, the mounting parts and the reinforcement) Defining transport stacks (load trucks)

48 Production planning with the Palletizer program Planning the production tables Exporting UNITECHNIK files for production

49 Creating data for production Demo

50 Change in the model Change in the Revit model after all the machine files are created Only the UNITECHNIK files for the according assemblies must be created again

51 Change in the model Demo

52 Machines in the production Laser which shows the outline, the mounting parts and the position of the reinforcement on the pallet

53 Machines in the production Plotter marks the position of inserts

54 Machines in the production Shuttering robot puts the shutters on the pallet

55 Machines in the production Bar cutting and bending machine

56 Machines in the production Mesh welding machine

57 Machines in the production Concrete spreader fills in the concrete with the data from the Revit model.

58 Summary The module Solid Walls of the Revit Precast Tools supports the Precast Concrete Industry in the following areas: Automatic dividing Creation of solid wall panels with reinforcement and connections Converting to assemblies with equality check Creation of shop drawings Exporting data to external programs Changes in the model Production -> The Revit Precast Tools supports and speeds up the full workflow from design to fabrication for Precast Elements inside of Revit
