When using Autodesk Point Layout within Revit,
00:06
the Slab Analysis tool enables you to perform a horizontal or vertical surface analysis using the total station point file.
00:14
You can use this tool to create a grid system using the Face Points tool,
00:18
or you can use it to collect points manually.
00:21
With a project open in Revit, from the ribbon, Autodesk Point Layout tab,
00:27
Bonus Tools panel, select Slab Analysis.
00:31
From the Select Level Analysis point file dialog,
00:35
upload your total station point file for analysis.
00:39
Click Select File to Import.
00:42
In the file browser, navigate to and select the field file, and then click Open.
00:48
Back in the dialog, by default, all points in the file are loaded and selected for import.
00:56
Specify the Import Units, and then click OK.
01:00
Back in the drawing, select the surface related to the points.
01:05
Then, on the top left, click Finish.
01:10
A message reports the number of points that fell outside of the maximum deviation.
01:15
Click OK.
01:17
The surface updates with colors indicating the deviation,
01:21
as well as a legend.
01:23
Here, you see the APL Face Deviation Style legend, where green is accurate to the model,
01:30
red indicates a deviation that is too high, and blue is too low.
01:35
This report can be created in either a 3D view, as shown here,
01:39
or in a floor plan, and is fully customizable.
01:43
From the Modify | Analysis Results contextual tab, Style panel, click Edit Style. to open the Analysis Display Styles dialog.
01:54
On the Settings tab, you can choose to Show gridlines in the 3D view.
01:59
To create other display styles, click New.
02:04
Then, in the New Analysis Display Style dialog, specify the style, enter a name, and then click OK.
02:13
In this case, click Cancel to close the dialog.
02:17
Back in the Analysis Display Styles dialog, open the Color tab to change the color mapping.
02:24
Click the Legend tab to customize legend settings,
02:27
such as text types and the Height and Width of the Color Range.
02:32
When you have finished making changes, click Apply, and then OK.
02:37
Now you can analyze surfaces using the Slab Analysis tool
02:41
and visualize surface deviations with customizable reports.
