Workflow Processes:

• Project Configuration

  This Process steps through the tasks that will help start a new Revit structural project, set it up, and the initial configuration of the BIM model. These tasks will walk through:
  Selecting a template
  Managing project settings
  Creating various wall types

• Project Setup

  The tasks in this process will guide you through:
  Adding the project information.
  Adding the project location.
  Linking the site drawing for project context.
  Specifying project and true North.

• View Setup

  As you prepare to work in the project, it is good practice to create additional views for specific purposes. A set of cleaned up views to use for sheet production, another set to be used for regular work and another set for coordination purposes. The difference between these sets includes discipline and sub-discipline view properties, object visibility and overrides, and filters such that work is more effective and efficient.

  The tasks in this process will guide through the creation, configuration and management of plan, elevation, section and schedule views, for purposes including sheet creation, demolition plans, area plans, RCP, enlarged plans, and detailing.

• Model Structure

  The tasks in this process will guide you through modeling the building structure by adding columns, beams, foundations, slabs, and other components.

• Annotate Model

  The tasks in this process describe how to annotate the model by:
  Placing tags
  Creating legends
  Placing keynotes
  Placing text labels

• Construction Details

  The tasks in this process describe how to create project details through different methods:
  By importing CAD details
  By detailing model views (floor plans, sections, elevations, etc.)
  By creating the detail directly in Revit

• Set up Sheets

  The tasks in this process describe how to create the sheets for project documentation.

• Rendering

  This process will guide you through the tasks and steps to prepare and setup models and views for rendering purposes.

• Walkthrough

  This process will guide you through the tasks and steps to prepare and setup models and views for the purpose of creating a walkthrough.

• Deliverables

  This process will guide user through the setup and settings adjustments to create project deliverables.
