ENHANCEMENTS IN REVIT 2016

A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR ALL A/E/C INDUSTRY NEEDS..

Integrated Design Through BIM Specialization

SIS BIM is a specialized AEC Consultant based in Hyderabad to provide services in BIM

related services to the prospering economies of the Middle East and Indian market in

collaboration with our parent firm Design Integrated located in Dubai.

With today’s changing economic trends, that have forced many companies and individuals

to downsize or reorganize their assets, we provide flexible end-to-end solutions that assist

companies.

We concentrate on the techniques that bring the most value to project participants. At the

core of what we offer our clients is our modeling expertise and our ability to dynamically

apply this expertise to a broad range of client needs.

We provide members of the A/E/C community BIM 3D/4D/5D modeling solutions that

enable the team to save time and money, and to transition projects and models efficiently

from design to fabrication to construction.

PIPING FLOW UNITS

o When you define project units for piping, you can now specify values for Flow in liters per

minute (L/min).

PERFORMANCE AND VOLUME ONLY SETTINGS FOR CALCULATIONS

o To improve performance while working with most duct and pipe systems, a new setting,

Performance, has been added to the Calculations drop-down. When this parameter is set to

Performance, no system-level calculations are processed. When it is set to None, the system

still maintains the logical sections in the system.

o To improve performance while working with large Fire Protection, Vent, and Other

classification system types, a new setting, Volume Only, has been added to the Calculations

drop-down. When the Calculations parameter is set to None, the Volume parameter is not

computed. When the Calculations parameter is set to Volume Only, the Volume parameter

is calculated. Upgraded projects will have the Calculations parameter set to Volume Only

for existing systems in which the Calculations parameter was set to None.

IMPROVED SNAPPING BEHAVIOR

o While working with large system models, you may notice an improvement to snapping

behavior. Remote snaps include only the objects in the visible portion of the view, rather

than the view extents. In addition, snap filters are now based on the zoom level: when the

zoom level is greater, fewer elements are included for remote snapping. When Snap to

Remote Objects is disabled, snapping to connectors in linked files is excluded

MEP FABRICATION DETAILING

o You can now use LOD 400 content from Autodesk Fabrication products (CADmep, ESTmep,

and CAM duct) in Revit to create a more coordinated model. This functionality provides

greater certainty for detailers in construction firms that the model accurately reflects the

intended installation.

REVIT EXTENSION FOR AUTODESK FABRICATION

o You can import and export fabrication jobs between Revit and the Autodesk Fabrication

products
