AB104-6: Should We Ever Stop Modeling in Autodesk® Revit®? When, Why, and What Should We Model
Instructor: Jeremiah Bowles
Class Description: During this class we will discuss the differences between these models: analytical, constructability, and as-built/FM. We'll discuss how architects can again become master builders. This will be a collaborative session, so be prepared to share and discuss successes and failures in modeling too much and/or too little and the challenges around each. We will discuss and record what the group's opinions are and also what tools we think are missing for aggregating model data and what to propose to Autodesk for future areas of improvement. Come and discuss challenges, real world problems, missing and proposed tools, and how and why we should move towards a true modeling-based concept. Discuss the advantages of Autodesk Inventor interoperability and options for success. Establish a checklist for deciding when we should stop modeling based on project size, scope, and contract. Also we will discuss how to leverage all those great AutoCAD Architecture tools for prefabrication and manufacturing in Revit and whether or not we should move to interoperability similar to the relationship of Revit Structure and AutoCAD Structural Detailing. What is the way way for the industry to leverage Autodesk Inventor without parametric parts? The result of this discussion will be to establish best practices on when to stop modeling and start detailing.
