Engineering Integration

A very important facet of Revit, that is sometimes overlooked is the idea that two dimensional figures can be implemented into the three dimensional model. For instance, once you've cut a section of a room, you have the ability to draw over it as if it were a two dimensional drawings. By the same token, that's why you often have floor plan "sheet views" and "working views". The sheet views are utilized along with two-dimensional text and detail lines. For this particular project, I was able to create all of structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering's figures. This not only allowed us to have proper dimensions, but it also allowed the components that I had already created to be utilized for alternate purposes. Considering that the entire model was not fit out with engineering components, this was the perfect solution to getting the proper information across.
