🔸BIM & CLASSIFICATION🔸
What’s the logic for CLASSIFYING BIM DATA?

🔻Classifying data means structuring it in an agreed way so that different actors can easily find what they need and understand it. A classification system is like a common language. In BIM, classification lets people, software and machines share and use building information efficiently and accurately.

🔻The importance of classification is growing as teams for building projects get more complex and international, and as projects themselves generate more and more data which is then relied on to automate processes, make better decisions and operate devices.

🔻Different classification systems have been developed for different types of BIM data and actors, and for different geographic areas and situations. Below are some examples.

🔹Uniclass 2015
Uniclass 2015 is a unified classification for the UK industry covering all construction sectors.

🔹OmniClass
The OmniClass Construction Classification System (known as OmniClass™ or OCCS) is a classification system for the construction industry.

🔹MasterFormat®
MasterFormat®, a publication of CSI and CSC, is a master list of numbers and titles classified by work results.

🔹UniFormat™
UniFormat™, a publication of CSI and CSC, is a method of arranging construction information based on functional elements, or parts of a facility characterized by their functions, without regard to the materials and methods used to accomplish them.

#Revit_2020
#Home_Run_Improvements

Electrical homerun wiring improvements give you the control over arrowheads and tickmarks that you need to create electrical documentation that’s easier to understand and use.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Elliptical_Walls

With Revit 2020 you can create more advanced wall geometry with the ability to draw elliptical walls and curtain walls.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Improved_Rebar_Copy_Move_Logic

Improved rebar copy and move logic translates to increased precision and more predictable results when copying and moving shape-driven rebar.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Multi_Rebar_Annotation_for_Free_Form_Rebar

New in Revit 2020 you can use multi-rebar annotations for planar parallel free form rebar sets and concrete faces, helping you produce better documentation for concrete projects.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Multi_Rebar_Annotation_to_Concrete_Faces

New in Revit 2020 you can use multi-rebar annotations for planar parallel free form rebar sets and concrete faces, helping you produce better documentation for concrete projects.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Rebar_in_Model_in_place_Stairs

rebar in model-in-place stairs increases 3D rebar modeling versatility and helps you define accurate reinforcement.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Propagation_of_Steel_Connections

The ability to propagate steel connections will save you time when you need to insert the same connection in multiple locations on a large project.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Steel_Connections_Grouping

you can manage repetitive connection designs more easily and efficiently with steel connections grouping which lets you easily update all instances of the same type of connection from one place.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Tags_and_Dimensions_of_Steel_Elements

you’ll be able to create more accurate and readable engineering drawings for structural steel.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#PDF_Into_Revit

Revit 2020 supports PDF underlay which means now you can bring 2D data into Revit and snap to the PDF to model new elements based on it.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Support_for_Sketchup_2018_Import_and_Link

And if you work in Sketchup, you’ll be happy to see that new in Revit 2020 is support for Sketchup 2018 import. Get a more efficient workflow including colored imports to connect early stage design done in Sketchup to Revit.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Path_of_Travel

The Path of Travel tool analyzes the geometry in the plan and navigates around obstacles and through doors to optimize the route to help inform design decisions.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Steel_Connections_for_Dynamo

And now you can work more productively modeling steel connections in Revit by using the “Autodesk Steel Connections 2020” Dynamo package. Accelerate the insertion of multiple steel connections based on user-defined rules that can identify similar geometrical conditions for placing standard and custom connections. The package includes several out-of-the box scripts for use with Dynamo Player.

@Revit

#Revit_2020
#Enhanced_Performance_for_Detailed_Steel_Models

Now you can get a faster response time when editing detailed steel connections in the 3D model with Revit 2020, which uses background processes to carry out these performance-intensive tasks. You can continue working on your Revit project while the background process runs.
