1. Implementing Revit and Putting ACE BIM and CAD Standards
 ACE Project
for
 Implementing Revit and Putting ACE BIM and CAD Standards

2. Meeting Agenda Overview for Revit and benefits of the system
Explain program for implementation of Revit system
Request for names of participants to be trained in Revit to be Department key user
Request one old & one new project as a trial for Revit
Discuss any concerns in changing from existing system to Revit
Questions

3. Overview
All Revit-based products are Parametric Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools. These tools are similar to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) programs but are used to build 3D models as well as 2D drawings.
In Revit, you place real-world elements like columns and walls into the model. Once the model is built, you can create model views such as sections and callouts.
Views are generated from the 3D physical model; consequently, changes made in one view automatically propagate through all views. This virtually eliminates the need to update multiple drawings and details when you make changes to the model

4. Benefits of Revit Software Program
3D model will be beneficial as a marketing tool for new clients.
There are 3 separate programmes which can be integrated, namely:
Revit Architecture 2012
Revit Structure 2012
Revit MEP 2012

5. 3D Example of Revit

6. Flexibility In Projects
As each program is separate but can be joined together it allows
Maintain consistency.
Design your add-in application seamlessly.
Create, edit, and delete model elements like floors, walls, columns, and more.
Create add-ins to automate repetitive tasks.
Automatically create project documentation.
