Hi.
I'm doing some projects with prefabricated panels for the facade in Autocad. But I'm searching the best thing to do it.

I need to design all the elements and do the Installation drawings, using references to finding the panels and do the production drawings to send to the manufacturer.

Facades like This:



These pieces can have a flat, L or U-section, for example in the corners, windows.... And it's possible we need to introduce the system grooves or holes to support it into the facade. (Differents in each level)



Do you know the best process to do this? or if its better use another program, but the projects are being made in Revit and I prefer to do this part in the same program.

Installation drawings:


Production Drawings Like this:



Finally, if it's possible to obtain a list with all the references, number os panels of each reference, dimensions,... It will be great!

Could you help me to found the best system to do this type of jobs? Thanks!

You could do them as 4 point adaptives on a grid.
Add in the width and height parameters to get the area.
Use the instance mark value to tag them and schedule what ever you'd like.
You'll need also create a 3 point adaptive for the angled ones at the top.
Curtain wall could also work.
And you could next a curtain wall in a curtain wall if needed.
But to answer your questions it's totally doable.
