Prepare Model for Creating Room Data Sheets to Clearly Communicate Requirements

You will learn how to be more efficient by creating room data sheets that automatically populate information from rooms, masses and other native Revit components.

You will learn how to be more efficient by creating room data sheets that automatically populate information from rooms, masses and other native Revit components.

This module has approximately 15 minutes of video. By the end of the module, you should be able to:

  • Understand what is data sheets
  • How to create shared parameters
  • Export and import data to and from Revit

Before you start

  • Please make sure you have the Revit software loaded.

Leveraging the I in BIM Through Revit Parameters

Welcome to Leveraging the I in BIM Through Revit Parameters. Information, the “I” in BIM (Building Information Modeling) is one of the most powerful aspects of Revit. Basically, if you need information from the model, you access it using parameters.

Leveraging the I in BIM using schedules

The focus of this module is to leverage the I in BIM using schedules in Revit. Schedules in Revit can be used for working drawings, as well as analyzing and organizing your project. Creating schedules grabs the Information, the “I” in BIM (Building Information Modeling), from parameters and presents it in a logical format.
