SHAWN HERRING: InfraWorks provides a great way
00:02
to see the building in context with all of its surroundings.
00:05
In this unit, you'll learn the secrets
00:07
of pooling multiple models together inside InfraWorks
00:10
so you can see how it all fits together with quality graphics.
00:16
So we're going to look at bringing a Revit
00:17
model into InfraWorks.
00:20
A couple of things to point out prior to bringing that
00:22
into InfraWorks--
00:23
you want to specify inside Revit,
00:26
so either you or you ask the architect
00:28
to specify the geographic location that'll
00:31
define where the Revit model is located
00:33
in the real physical world.
00:34
Give them a lat/long, they'll be able to place that.
00:38
You also want to create a
00:41
into InfraWorks.
00:43
It's easier just to create a custom 3D view for transferring
00:46
that geometry to InfraWorks.
00:48
And InfraWorks looks for a Revit view and a view named
00:52
with a prefix such as "navis" or "InfraWorks"
00:54
because it's going to send it to the cloud,
00:56
run it through Navisworks, and then bring it back
00:59
into InfraWorks.
01:01
So it's always great to create that custom view.
01:03
And once you do that, you'll be ready to import that
01:06
into InfraWorks.
01:07
So very quickly, very easily, you
01:09
can bring that Revit model in as a data source.
01:12
So you click on the InfraWorks icon,
01:13
you go to your data sources, and you add that in.
01:16
So let's move over to InfraWorks and see how easy it
01:18
is to bring in a Revit model.
01:20
So back here in InfraWorks, let's take a look
01:23
at bringing in a Revit model.
01:25
We're going to create a new proposal.
01:29
Just going to call that "Revit model."
01:33
Got my Data Source panel open.
01:36
I'm going to come here to the connections,
01:38
and I'm going to choose Autodesk Revit.
01:40
I'm going to bring in this Revit model here, the 56750.
01:44
You're going to open that up.
01:45
If you do not have Navisworks installed,
01:48
it's going to require you to have Navisworks.
01:51
So just as an FYI, it's going to push you to the cloud.
01:54
It's going to convert it to a Navisworks file.
01:56
So make sure you have that installed if you're going
01:58
to be utilizing Revit models.
02:01
So let's bring that Revit model in.
02:03
Just going to come here to connect to it.
02:07
It's going to connect to that Data Source.
02:09
What it's doing is configuring that.
02:11
It's converting it to an NWC file.
02:14
So you'll see, in your files, that
02:18
along with that information-- along with our Revit file.
02:22
It'll convert those to an NWC file.
02:25
There's the need for the Navisworks.
02:29
I'm going to double click that.
02:30
You can take a look at your 3D model.
02:32
I'm going to come here.
02:34
It's going to load that model up and let us take a quick look
02:37
at it before we place it.
02:41
That's what we're going to place here in our InfraWorks model.
02:45
Now, we can place this if, in our Revit model
02:48
we have located the X, Y, and Z properly.
02:52
OK, if you haven't, you can still place it in here,
02:54
you're just going to manually move it
02:56
around using the interactive placing.
02:58
So I'm going to select Interactive Placing.
03:02
There's our model.
03:03
What you want to do, just double click there to place it.
03:08
Going to hit Close and Refresh.
03:09
Then we're going to adjust the coordinates of that
03:12
by just rotating it around, manually moving it, maybe
03:15
stretching some of the grips that we get.
03:19
So let's give it one more second here to insert.
03:24
There it is.
03:25
You can see, that's just kind of floating in space.
03:27
I'm going to grab it here.
03:29
I'm going to grab, rotate this a little bit.
03:33
Maybe we'll just grip edit this onto the existing
03:37
ground for our terrain.
03:39
Then I can place it.
03:40
So a few ways of placing it.
03:42
I can adjust this if I want to.
03:44
And I can slide it here, just line it up,
03:48
just eyeballing it for now.
03:50
So again, if we didn't place it properly within our Revit
03:53
model, no need to worry.
03:55
You can easily just adjust that as you place it
03:59
in your InfraWorks model.
04:01
OK, so I'm good with that placement.
04:03
That's where we're going to keep it.
04:04
And that's how you insert a Revit model into InfraWorks.

04:04
And that's how you insert a Revit model into InfraWorks.
Prior to bringing in the model:
Import point cloud data. You can use that data to generate terrain and extract features in your model.
Revit to InfraWorks: Specify the Geographic Location:
a.Define where the Revit model is located in the physical world.
b.The latitude and longitude values that you define for the project location are applied to the survey point in the Revit model, and are used to position the geometry when the model is imported to InfraWorks.
Create a 3D View for Import to InfraWorks:
a.Create a custom 3D view for transferring geometry to InfraWorks.
b.By default, InfraWorks looks for a Revit view to import in the following order:
i. A view named with a prefix “navis”, such as “navis-importview”.
ii. The default 3D view, named {3D}.
iii. The last opened 3D view.
Importing a Revit model into InfraWorks:
Bring a Revit model into InfraWorks as a file data sources.
In InfraWorks, select he InfraWorks icon and open up your “Data Sources”.
On the Data Sources panel, do the following:
Click 
.
Select “Autodesk Revit”.
Open the Revit model file in your Data Set.
If prompted, click “Send” in the Data Import dialog. This feature requires an Internet connection, so by clicking “Send”, you will be transmitting data into the InfraWorks cloud.
When the model is finished processing, it displays under “Buildings” in the data sources list.
Once it’s ready, you need to configure the model.
Double click on the model.
In the “Geo Location” tag, if the set coordinate has been assigned in Revit, click “Close and Refresh”.If it has not, select “Interactive Placing…” and click the area on the screen where you want to place the model and select “Close and Refresh”.
Note: Alternatively, you can also drag and drop the .rvt file directly onto the InfraWorks model to import the file as a data source.
That’s how it is done! Importing a Revit model helps bring a more realistic feel to your site plan.
