Revit QA/QC review checklist?

[ron.sanpedro]

Hey all,
back in the bad old days, we used to do QA/QC review on each project at each phase, looking for standards compliance as well as problems and opportunities going in to the next phase. We tied this in with the Architectural Peer Review that usually happened around 90% CDs or so also. This approach worked really well, and I am looking to implement the same process for Revit projects.
Over time I had developed a pretty good checklist of things to look for at each phase, but Revit being a completely different animal from AutoCAD (woo hoo!) I am looking for some input from the trenches on what to look for. My checklist so far, which is very weighted to DD/CD reviews, looks like this...

Are there still "Generic" items in use?
Are things over-modeled? Especially families with no Detail Level controls set up.
Are In Place Families being abused?
Are there items hidden In View inappropriately?
Has Edit Profile been abused?
Are there lots of Masking and Filled Regions used in large scale views?
Are there more Drafting Views than their should be?
Are there imported DWGs in the main model?
Are Model Lines being used where families, Detail Components or Split Face is a better answer?
Are Drafting Lines being used where the Linework Tool would be better?
Are dumb tags being used excessively?
Are dimensions being rounded excessively to cover shoddy modeling?

So, does anyone have anything to add? Or some process stuff that they have found useful?

Thanks,
Gordon

Don't forget to check on Workset usage

Reviewing warnings that users have missed can uncover poor modeling.

This thread is a few years old, but the topic is still relevant. Does any one have anything to add to the content that has been added previously?

I think you take it one step further and figure out what's challenging in the MEP model (Maybe Structure too).

MEP vs. Ceilings checklist.
Are light fixtures passing through ducts and above the ceiling plane?..etc.

Are the schedules reading information correctly?
Sometimes filter options filter out the good too by accident and by "accident" I mean user error.

How is 3D being utilized?
Far too often I see architects struggling to come up with the perfect linetype and lineweight. Great if you're in CAD, kind of pointless if you can pull in a perfect Axonometric that is to scale and fully detailed and dimensioned in Revit. Lineweights just became obsolete when you have a contractor pointing to a 3D view and saying, "Why don't you just do that?, I understand that". And that's the name of the game.

In my opinion, you'll always have some "generic" stuff in there. Although I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but in my mind its for things that are categorical unrecognized. Remember when Revit MEP only had 4 areas for this? Now they have 20+. It'll get better with time, same with Revit Architecture.

I'll try and come up with some more.

It would be great to have everthing out on the table so a comprehensive list can be created and the quality of the models can be increased. We are also concerned with our consultants content since there models especially structural are linked into our model and used actively for the structural elements.
