Product definition - Specify outputs and publish

00:03

With your source content, parameters, and rules set, you are ready to specify outputs and publish your product definition.

00:10

Several output types can be included with each product to be published.

00:15

Revit outputs are required, and at least one representation must be switched on to publish.

00:20

All other output types are optional.

00:23

To specify the outputs for the staircase assembly example,

00:27

for the Revit category, you use loadable families.

00:30

Informed Design does not connect to the system families,

00:34

such as stairs or walls.

00:36

In this case, choose a category such as Generic Models or Specialty Equipment.

00:42

You can also define the Revit Family name, aligned to your naming standard.

00:47

In the adjacent Representations section, the table includes a row for each model state that exists in the Inventor model.

00:53

In this example, two representations have been defined.

00:57

The BIM representation contains the full level of detail, while the Primary one is a lower level of detail.

01:04

Set the BIM representation to Available.

01:07

Notice that the output type for a Revit family is a loadable RFA.

01:12

If needed, you can define the Model 3D output.

01:15

The output type is IAM if the active file is an assembly, and IPT if the file is a part.

01:22

Note that when Exclude Intellectual Property is selected,

01:25

the native Inventor model outputs will not include any of the iLogic that may exist in the model,

01:30

to safeguard your sensitive intellectual property.

01:33

Scroll down to the Drawing 2D section.

01:36

In this example, the drawing template has been included,

01:39

so you can also choose to include Drawing 2D outputs.

01:43

Select which files and drawing types to include, such as IDW, DWG, or PDF.

01:51

Note that the file types you see here will vary, depending on your project.

01:55

The Bill of Materials outputs are based on the Inventor model states, similar to Revit Family outputs.

02:01

The output type for a bill of materials is a CSV.

02:05

Setting this allows for the bill of materials information to be available in Revit.

02:10

For the Neutral formats section, you can select outputs based on the Inventor model states in these neutral format types:

02:16

SAT, STEP, and GLB.

02:20

All of these are enabled for this example.

02:23

Click Save to save your definition locally.

02:26

You are now ready to click Publish.

02:29

The dialog changes to show the Release details and Publish location information.

02:34

For the Publish location, set your Autodesk Construction Cloud account and project.

02:39

In this example, there are folders available in the selected project.

02:43

You can select a specific folder or sub-folder you wish to publish to.

02:48

You can also click New folder to create a new folder in the Autodesk Docs project.

02:53

When you are ready, click Publish.

02:56

This process can take some time, depending on factors such as the file type, level of detail, and internet speed.

03:03

When the publish is complete, you can click Product definitions to return to the Product definitions list.

03:09

You can see the new ID-Staircase definition is now in the list.

03:13

Use the tools to edit, duplicate, or delete definitions, if needed.
