Hello AUGIWorld Reader

Welcome to the October 2013 issue which isgenerally focused on customization of Autodesksoftware Tis is a nebulous subject as one personrsquossimple customization is anotherrsquos advanced highly

enhanced software add-on

But before we run down who and what is in this awesome issue a quick mention ofour wonderful cover graphic Tis was created by the team at Lionakis and is the 2nd

place winner for Best Presentation at the recent 2013 Revit echnology ConferenceNorth America It is always very interesting how people use Autodesk softwarealong with other products to create some really wonderful work

We begin this month with an article by Curt Moreno who is discussing the rainbowof AutoCAD flavors available in todayrsquos workplace We follow this with a pieceby Michael Beall sharing how to find settings for variables And then we have thevenerable Melinda Heavrin covering AutoCAD Architecture and Renovation mode

Next up is a review by Mark Flayler of 10 Exchange Apps for Inventor You simplydonrsquot know what you donrsquot knowmdashyou really need to check this out Melanie Perry

returns this month with her new column String Teory which highlights some ofthe most interesting AUGI Forum threads of the month And then Martijn de Rietbrings us part 3 of Revit and IFC busting myths for the final time

We then have Chris Murray who brings us customizing essentials for the userinterface in 3ds Max He shows us how to create a custom UI scheme for Max 2014Next we have Vladimir riantafillidis discussing AutoCAD MEP and helping toexplain what is driving the MEP industry And then Jonathan Albert shows how tostreamline using AutoCAD sheet sets with Revit Structure

Switching to the AutoCAD Civil 3D world ench ilghman explains how to

customize correctly (always a great goal to have) Ten odd Shackelford breaksdown the transitional roadmap when using Revit MEP It is much more than justsoftware guys Lastly Lee Ambrosius brings us the monthly Inside rack columnwith new releases from CSC SofiSiK and Autodesk

And with that this issue is a wrap urn the page and get to customizing Autodesksoftware

When you are a long-time CADprofessional and AutoCADreg user ina position where you provide supportto others every phone call can bring

something new to you Maybe the phone will ringand someone will need help using AutoCAD to create a designfor a life-saving medical device Or maybe the phone will ring and

someone will need help with the next great design for front-endsuspension on a luxury car Or maybe it is a first-time user callingwith a question that yoursquove never even heard before Unfortunatelyit is most likely going to be someone asking you the same questionthat you have been asked 10000 times before

Tat call is the one that came today Ringhellip ringhellip ldquoHi Irsquove beenusing AutoCAD for a few years and now I have to do this joband I want to customize my AutoCAD What would you dordquoTatrsquos right it was the dreaded ldquohow do I customize AutoCADrdquocall Over the years I have gotten this call more times than Icare to count

Tere was a time when I would have taken more time to discuworkflows and industry specifics with the caller I would hagotten my little yellow sticky notes and made scribbles about othscribbles Inevitably I would have had to do some research ancheck some prices and then report back to this caller

In 1991 the world was very different If you worked in a certa

civil engineering field then AutoCADreg Civil 3Dreg is the AutoCADfor you For those in the utility market AutoCADreg Utility Designis your choice Te list goes on but more on that later rulytodayrsquos modern AutoCAD has fulfilled the promise of a ldquoplatformrdquorather than a single product

Rather than spending this ldquoCustomizationrdquo issue of AUGIWorlddiscussing the endless ways in which you are able to outfit AutoCADwe are going to discuss the variety of AutoCAD packages on themarket All the software packages we will look at share not onlythe AutoCAD engine but also the interface Soon it will becomeobvious why I feel that patching plugging and twisting standardvanilla AutoCAD is not as necessary as it once was

AUTOCAD CIVIL 3DTe first AutoCAD variant we will look at is the one that I use

just about every single day AutoCAD Civil 3D Although Civil3D is a very close cousin to AutoCAD it is packed with tools androutines germane to civil engineering projects made for design anddocumentation Whether your infrastructure project is a retention

pond a neighborhood subdivision or a major highway Civil 3Dhas the tools for you

With features such as survey data collection and advanced gradingCivil 3D is stuffed full of just the types of tools civil designersneed Major features include advanced surface modeling functionscorridor design and modeling parcel design and advanced stylemanagement Tere are even newly enhanced tools for pipenetworks that include both pressure and gravity systems

As a long-time AutoCAD Civil 3D user I cannot imagine takingthe standard version of AutoCAD and customizing it to better

suit the needs of a civil engineering office

AUTOCAD ARCHITECTUREOne of Autodeskrsquos flagship products is the Autodeskreg Revitregcollection of programs Over the past few years Revit hasbecome the de facto standard in nearly every architecture officein the country With the increasing popularity of the BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM) concept Revit has spread evenfurther into adjacent disciplines As wonderful as Revit is inthe eyes of many CAD users it lacks one major feature theAutoCAD interface

Because Revit is a completely separate product from AutoCADit does not share the AutoCAD engine or interface Tat can be astumbling block and cause a steep learning curve for transitioningCAD professionals Never fear Autodesk has just the solution forthe CAD professional seeking to customize the tried-and-trueAutoCAD installation for a more architecturally oriented taskAutoCADreg Architecture

From the simplest sections and elevations to the most complexmaterials schedules and renovations AutoCAD Architecturebrings all the tools the AutoCAD professional needs to tackle theproject And all of it is powered by the familiar AutoCAD engineand features the familiar interface

Users moving from standard AutoCAD to AutoCAD Architecturewill begin making short work of just about any architecture taskWith enhanced tools for placing walls doors and windows layoutswill happen faster than ever Room documentation and advancedtagging and annotation features along with the industry-standardbuildingSMAR system Industry Foundation Class will makesharing work with others quick and easy

Going from AutoCAD to AutoCAD Architecture will helpexperienced users move from standard drafting to completearchitecture plan sets and rendering quickly and easily Check thisprogram out before digging around the Internet looking for a set

of pre-made door blocks to use

AUTOCAD MECHANICALAnother important product for Autodesk is Autodesk InventorregYou have no doubt heard of this powerful program but may havethought ldquoIrsquom too far into my career to move from AutoCAD tosomething newrdquo o that I would first say ldquoYoursquore never too oldrdquoSecondly I would take a moment to understand that feeling (wersquoveall been there) and tell you to check out AutoCADreg Mechanical

Designers working on a wide variety of mechanical projects willwelcome the features AutoCAD Mechanical has to offer Whetheryou are tired of drawing tension springs or you need some helpdetermining the perfect design for rotation pattern of your camyou are going to find a tool to help you here

Why would you take the time to find blocks even dynamicblocks or bolts or threads or any of that AutoCAD Mechanicalcomes with a multitude of tools that are perfectly suited for thissort of work Sporting a robust library of more than 700000discipline-specific parts and shapes support for multiplestandards and intelligent dynamic geometry this is a packageready to do some work Of course all of this sits atop the familiarAutoCAD interface

AUTOCAD ELECTRICALIt seems that one of the largest groups of users I meet looking tocustomize their AutoCAD installations work in the Electricalfields Whether it is a small contractor trying to find an economicalroute or a large outfit looking to retool I pose this question ldquoWhydonrsquot you check out AutoCADreg Electricalrdquo

Like all AutoCAD-based products AutoCAD Electrical is aproduct intended for both design and documentation Tat meanselectrical designers are going to find the tools they need all in onepackage that has the familiar AutoCAD interface and commandsin addition to many industry-specific functions Whether you arelaying out panels or bringing together your bill of materials thereis something here for you

One of the common (but unloved) tasks I hear electrical designersand CAD professionals discuss is creating Programmable LogicControls AutoCAD Electrical offers the automation and dynamiclogic that makes this sort of job much easier Not only willelectrical designers be able to choose from a prepared library of

more than 3000 PLC IO modules they can create their own PLCIO modules with the Module Builder tool Tat one feature aloneis enough to save any electrical designer or CAD professional froma head full of gray hair

Documentation tools are just as robust in AutoCAD Electrical asthe design tools Out of the box your designer or CAD professionalis going to be armed with automated report generation features tocreate bills of material terminal plans wire labels and much moreProbably just as fantastic is the fact that you can run reports on asheet a panel a section of design or just about any other selectionyou can need

Sure you could piece together all this sort of functionalityyourself You could go out and download modules and blocksfrom manufacturer sites or purchase plug-ins with similarroutines Ten you could do the installation and compatibilitydance but why AutoCAD Electrical is ready for the electricaldesigner or CAD professional now requiring no more effort thanto install it

THE REST OF THE RAINBOWWe have taken a look at three of the AutoCAD-based productsthat I point people to most often Te wonderful part is that thereis still a whole slew of products out there built on the AutoCAD

platform Users seeking to customize their AutoCAD installationwith model-based GIS tools PampID libraries or structuraldetailing documentation reports just need to check out the rest ofthe impressive collection of AutoCAD-based products

bull AutoCAD Architecture ndash for architectural layouts elevationsand other projects

bull AutoCAD Civil 3D ndash for all manner of civil engineeringprojects from roads to water systems

bull AutoCAD Electrical ndash for electrical distribution projectsbull AutoCAD Map 3D ndash for adding mapping and GIS data to

support planning projects

bull AutoCAD Mechanical ndash for a wide variety of mechanical amanufacturing projects

bull AutoCAD MEP ndash for adding mechanical electrical aplumbing documentation to building projects

bull AutoCAD PampID ndash for design and documentation in pipidesign projects

bull AutoCAD Plant 3D ndash for the 3D layout and design of proceand manufacturing facilities

bull AutoCAD Structural Detailing ndash for creating shop drawinfor steel and concrete structures

bull AutoCAD Utility Design ndash for the rules-based design anlayout of electrical distribution systems

THE END OF THE RAINBOWAs you can see there is wide variety of predesigned industrspecific flavors of AutoCAD From laying out processing facilitto bringing electrical water or sewer services to that facility therean AutoCAD out there for you If you are like me and many othCAD professionals I know you will probably find that selectione of these versions of AutoCAD is much quicker easier an

often cheaper than taking the time to search out purchase ainstall various plug-ins for a standard AutoCAD installation

While there are certainly other Autodesk products that performany of these functions they are not AutoCAD-based and whave different interfaces Tis change in user interface and produdesign can often bring a steep and unwanted learning curve tofirm or project By choosing an AutoCAD-based product you wnot only be adding specific functionality you will also be able benefit from the familiar AutoCAD design and user interface

So the next time you are considering taking the time to customiyour standard AutoCAD installation with various librariscripts or plug-ins think about the alternatives ake a mometo investigate the world of AutoCAD products that are readand available to serve your industry-specific needs You may surprised at how much benefit the rainbow of AutoCAD versiocan bring to your company

Te Inventor Design Checker is a productivitysolution that gives the designer insight into the

Now what I really enjoy about this tool is the iProperty checks andsome of the modeling checks Te machining checks I could livewithout mostly due to the fact that most companies try not to hireusers who make such drastic mistakes in machining operationsMy favorite thus far is the unconstrained sketches check thatvalidates my design before adding it to Vault I have also usedthis as a measuring stick before hiring new engineers or bringingvendor Inventor models into my design

AUTODESK REMOTETis next app allows some really nice RDP usefor Autodesk Inventor Autodesk Remote is astandalone application for Microsoft Window7 and 8 and is compatible with all Autodeskproducts It lets you drive Autodesk softwareinstalled on your primary computer from aremote computer or iPad for fast access to nativedesign data over standard networks o use itsimply install Autodesk Remote on the PC you

Te controls in the iPad app are pretty easy to understand bthat doesnrsquot make a high-end CAD product made for the Pinstantly translatable to a touch interface You can see wheinterface elements of Inventor have started to lean more towarthis inevitable progression though

Autodesk Labs Personally I donrsquot like it mainly because I have toconstrain and dimension the sketches when they get recognized bythe tool If your goal is to bring in a solid and then do some minormodifications to it then you are better off using the Edit Solidtools also shown in the image above If you want Work Plane toolsalso remember to turn off the Import into Repair Environment aswell before opening the file

If you really had to go the distance and recognize features it isactually a lot quicker and generally creates a more intelligentmodeling history if you just redo it yourself in Inventor Terecognition tools only lend themselves to simple parts inmost cases

WORK FEATURE VISIBILITYTis product allows Inventor users to manage all work featurevisibility in a fast and easy way keeping full awareness of the involvedentities Tis app consists of six buttons on part environment andanother six on assembly environment Inside of part environmenta user can choose to enable or disable the visibility property ofplanes axes or points Inside of assembly environment a user can

also choose on which components to enable or disable the visibilityproperty of planes axes or points

I had a little trouble with this app in the assembly environmentbut that was due to some bad installation files Tis is one appreally worth the $099 How often have you been in an assemblyand not wanted to go back to the part files to turn on and offwork features I recommend ungrouping them so you access bothcommands faster

SHEET METAL FLAT EXPORTTere seems to be a plethora of these apps on the Exchange witheach of them varying in price and options In general the ideabehind these apps is to help automate the process of getting a DXF

to a machine that reads them for manufacturing in a more efficientmanner Tese programs will scan an assembly file and find thesheet metal files on which to perform their routines

Te different variations of this program range from free trialsupwards of $100 for the paid apps I started with one that gave me

a ldquoliterdquo version that would do 20 sheet metal files and I liked it much I started using the full version

FEATURE MIGRATORTe Feature Migrator tool allows Inventor users to more eascreate part features from assembly features User can migraassembly features either by selecting them in the Feature Migratbrowser or by right-clicking on one or several of them and theusing the ldquoSend to Partsrdquo commands Features can also be directmigrated from the regular Inventor model browser using thcontext menu item added by the add-in

Once the operation of migrating features is completed the FeatuMigrator displays a dialog that provides information about thresults Tis first dialog is a ldquohigh-levelrdquo report of the migrationprovides the opportunity for the user to select the action to takfor all the assembly features migrated Suppress if SucceedeSuppress always Delete if Succeeded Delete always or Nothingalso for the part features that havenrsquot been migrated correctSuppress Delete or Nothing Features created by the add-in cbe in an invalid state in the parts for a number of reasons

Te user can also see when a feature is out of date from thassembly and perform updates from the part side

TIME STAMPime Stamp is an Autodesk Inventor add-in that provides bull A low-cost simple-to-use tool that adds plot time information

to your printsbull A plot stamp that does not dirty the Inventor drawing

documentbull

A simple dockable user interface that keeps out of the way

Te ime Stamp editor lets you size position and orient thestamp relative to the adjacent sheet edges You can include datetime and current user information in the stamp Te time stamponly appears on the plot it does not alter the Inventor drawing

What I really like about this app even though it costs $500 perlicense is that you can find the price yourself and buy it It doeseverything it says it does and it provides an easy-to-use interfacewith an icon that changes based on whether the tool is on or offIf you want even more control over your plot stamping there is amore professional version offered by this company on their websitefor about $4000 a license which will allow more reporting fieldsand more control on the look and location of the stamp

SIMPLE SHEET SETTINGSSimple Sheet Settings combines the existing sheet settings withsome new tools such as changing the title block and also the abilityto make changes to all sheets in a document at once

Instead of first deleting the existing title block from a sheetexpanding the title block folder and inserting the desired titleblock then opening another window to change the sheet size andorientation just click the ldquoSettingsrdquo button located on the Sheetspanel in the Placed Views tab (right next to ldquoNew Sheetrdquo) andhave access to all those options in one location

When the Simple Sheet Settings window is loaded it gathers all the existing title block names and puts them into one drop-dowmenu o change the title block on the current sheet simply selethe desired title block from the drop-down menu and click OKTere is also the ability to change the title block sheet size ansheet orientation to all sheets at one time

Tis is a great little app that saves clicks and only costs a dollaQuite useful and no real setup involved

INTERACTIVE TUTORIALTe Create an Interactive utorial app provides instructions fcreating your own interactive Inventor tutorial Te Guide alincludes how to customize the Welcome Screen to display yointeractive tutorial and add to the ribbon

Tis one definitely falls under the ldquotoo much time on your handuser or CAD admin After reading through the guide on how create the interactive tutorials you find yourself asking the questioldquoWhy donrsquot I just save videos of the process we use in a companserver locationrdquo And that is when you uninstall this app as yohave realized that while it sounded good to you at first there abetter ways to accomplish the goal of company-specific tutoria

and process documentation

Te tools actually rely on too much externally controlled softwaresuch as Camtasia and other plug-ins and third-party apps to makeit work correctly Save your time and just use Camtasia from

echsmith to do your bidding

KEEPING UP TO DATEWith all these apps it is easy to understand how a user could getbehind on the updates to so many tools With that in mind theExchange Manager found on the ools tab in Inventor will keeptrack of that for you and offer assistance not only in updating butalso uninstalling and specialized help for each app

As a reminder with regard to third-party apps if you startexperiencing undesired effects in Inventor start turning add-ins

off one by one until you isolate which one is giving you fits Properreporting back on the app to the developers makes everyonehappier when the issue gets resolved Tus far I havenrsquot had nearas many issues as I thought I would have

ANY MANY MOREWith 80+ apps currently in the store and about 60 of them ready

for 2014 at the time of this article you should take some time andlook through what is available Tere are apps which are very nicheto the user base as well as those that have you scratching your headover why they are not already part of the core software Below aresome I would write about if I had more room in the article andora fatter PayPal walletbull BOM oolsbull EDM Expressbull Sketch Symbol Librarybull SolidWorks iProperty Importbull Quick Viewsbull 3D Pipebull Point Linkerbull Kwikools

Here are the secrets to movies in Navisworks1 Donrsquot use materials ndash you make your render time much longer2 Use the PNG export option 15fps3 Make your video export twice as long as you need Ten speed it

up for a faux 30fps Tis is faster4 Look up the Navisworks blog by Lee Mullin and Paul Walker

about gooch and phong Tere is your faux render setting5 If you have NW 2012 you wonrsquot have gooch or phong but you

will have better export options 2013 has gooch and Phong butfewer export options

6 Te flickering occurs when multiple shapes overlap If you care

delete them in your export model Sometimes flickering occurs

in the generation of your frames on the PNG export You mayhave a frame that is ldquooffrdquo

Myth Buster

Revit amp IFCPart 3

Irsquove given a lot of thought as to how this trilogyof articles should end At first I thought Irsquoduse the Coordination View 20 EXPRESS-GWallPaper for IFC2x3 (httpwwwmdr-

adviesnlwp-contentuploadsCoordinationView_V2-0_WallPaper_IFC2X3_Version-1pdf ) as a stepping stoneto give an ldquoIFC for Dummiesrdquo type of solution But that turnedout to be quite lengthy and rather boring But the link is includedabove for obvious reasonsmdashitrsquos useful

So I went back a little and asked myself ldquoWhy IFCrdquo And with thatquestion the inevitable follow-up immediately appeared ldquoWhynot IFCrdquo I realized that in the previous articles I failed to explainwhy in my humble opinion we should care about this somewhatcrooked badly implemented severe headache-inducing formatTerefore instead of explaining the fundamental technicalities ofIFC that can be explored in other places this final installment willexplore the Why versus Why Not IFC discussion and begin withthe latter

WHY NOT IFCWhen everybody uses Autodeskreg RevitregWell in this case itrsquos a no-brainer Share your Revit files Period

Loss of dataTis is an easier way to share data instead of hacking your wthrough IFC and praying your stuff doesnrsquot get lost in the proce

Even when you manage to export your geometry through IFtherersquos always loss of data

Loss of intelligence during importEven if you only need to send over geometry not data importithat into Revit makes it utterly useless All constraints are locomponent parametrics are gone and so on

Availability of bidirectional linksWhen not everyone uses Revit on a given project (which is quoften when yoursquore not located in the US) why not simply ua bidirectional linking between proprietary software standardTis can be easier and better to control

8122019 augi world 2013 10



WHY IFCWhich may be asked as why would you want to use IFC Or moreaccurately why would you want that option available

Consider what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote ldquoOnce you eliminatethe impossible whatever remains no matter how improbablemust be the truthrdquo

Letrsquos put that to the test shall we

When everybody uses RevitOkay simple math Autodesk has around 7000 employees Teworld has about 72 billion people What are the chances someonenot working for Autodesk has a brilliant idea and creates thesoftware you need tomorrow Tere will always be better solutionsTey might not be viable for you overall but therersquos no reason toshut down access to them Revit is a wonderful generic tool forwhich I see a brilliant future with all kinds of additions for specificniche-markets like AutoCAD has

What about today DDS is MEP-engineering software that cando energy calculations (not simulations) inside your modelRhino lets you model things on the fly that could (arguably)take ages in Revitmdashif you ever get them done ekla lays wasteto the Revit structural rebar functionality any day of the weekwithout breaking a sweat Solibri is a wonderful solution for clashdetection and most importantly rule-based model checking andreportingmdashsomething Revit (or Navisworks) doesnrsquot do

Should I go on

Only problem for all this magnificent software Itrsquos either based onthe IFC format or requires model exchange through IFC

Te fact of the matter is there will always be better softwareAny one may be the software for you but that doesnrsquot mean yourpartners associates etc need to have the choice to use it forcedupon them

Loss of dataOn July 1 2013 there was an extra release for Autodesk softwareTe Sourceforge Open Source IFC Exporter released a new versionthat incorporated the option to map custom Revit parameters(shared or non-shared family or project even calculated values) totheir IFC counterparts

On September 28 2013 I had the honor of showing the secondstep in a complete and controllable data export from Revit

During my RC Europe class I showed the new option to create acustom IFC Property Set and map any given Revit parameter intoIFC fully customizable

IFC does not automatically lead to loss of data Tat idea is simplynot true Incomplete implementation in Revit does lead to loss ofdata As of now you are able to put any piece of data into an IFCeven calculated values And we didnrsquot change the IFC format We

just improved implementation in Revit

Loss of intelligence during importldquoJust because something hasnrsquot happened yet doesnrsquot meanitrsquos impossiblerdquo

I donrsquot know who originally had this insight and I doubt it to bethe movie line I remember but it is true

In the same RC Europe class I showed a native Revit familybeing exported to IFC altered and re-importedmdashwhile keepingall parametric constraints and even adjusting to the alterationsmade directly in the IFC file It is possible but not with thecurrent importer

Availability of bidirectional linksIrsquove been using Revit for almost 10 years now For 4-5 years I didnrsquotknow about IFC at all Before a year ago this was my strongestargument against IFC Why would you need a generic ldquolanguagerdquowith all its limitations (of which there are) weaker implementationand use of parametric capabilities (because it has) and lag-times indevelopment (by nature)

IFC will never be able to do what native software does simplybecause itrsquos responsive in nature Development budgets are afraction of what Autodesk rimble or Nemetschek get to spendon their software

So why not keep it simple and use a bidirectional link Revit has itwith a lot of other Autodesk software and third-party applications

But how long have we waited for them And are they even trulybidirectional Do they exactly do what you want them to do In myhumble opinion the answer to these questions is not very inspiringEven bidirectional links tend to have major limitations and severe

constraints in flexibility And most important Te link itself isalso propriety software No way of adjusting it to your needs

WHAT IF MORE PEOPLE STOPPED

TALKING ABOUT IT AND JUST GOT

INVOLVEDTe improbableFirst off itrsquos a matter of simple logic As Sir Arthur suggested ifwe can successfully check off all likely options to NO want touse IFC doesnrsquot that mean the improbable is true Tat IFC is infact a valuable tool in our toolkit and we should be able to use it

when necessary

Mind you Irsquom not saying you should use IFC If yoursquore on a Revit-only project it would be insane Just send and receive RVs Tefact is this will only be viable for limited parts of the buildinglifecycle If yoursquore lucky the entire design team is on Revit Butmanufacturers have other software facility managers too

As for the design team what if the best structural engineer is not[on Revit] or the MEP guy that has loads of experience in similarprojects Would you settle for second-best just because someoneuses the same brand of tools you do I wouldnrsquot

Open AccessWhich brings us to the biggest advantage of IFC (or any open

format) itrsquos open Which means itrsquos adjustable to your needs Nowdonrsquot go ldquothatrsquos too difficult expensiverdquo Tatrsquos bullocks

Te first external enhancement to the Open Source Exporter wascreated by om Pesman a self-employed API specialist

Parametric IFCImplemented by Jon Mirtschin also self-employed IFCparametrics is available Agreed Jon is a well-known IFC guru butstill the point holds

Custom property sets and parametersWim as owner of a small MEP engineering firm hasadded functionalities toward this end and hersquos not even a trueAPI specialist

All these developments were done for free by altruistic volunteerefforts as part of the creation of the Dutch Revit Standards Andof course with the invaluable help of the Autodesk Open SourceIFC Exporter team Angel Velez in particular

But what if these guys actually got paid What if this projectwasnrsquot a Saturday night side-job What if more people stoppedtalking about it and just got involvedmdasheither by themselves or byleveraging experts to get what is needed Te entire IFC format is

Open Source the source code is out there which basically meansyou can do whatever you want and create whatever you needmdasheven on a project-by-project basis

BIM ITrsquoS THE ldquoIrdquo THAT MATTERSIn my humble opinion the entire debate on BIM is focusing on thewrong part of the acronym I donrsquot care if ldquoBuildingrdquo is a noun ora verb Nor do I care whether itrsquos ldquoModelrdquo or ldquoModelingrdquo nor am Icommenting on whether one should say ldquoBIM Modelrdquo

Itrsquos the ldquoIrdquo that matters If wersquore collaborating the Informationis most all I care about I just want your datamdashin the leanest

give me heaps of data I donrsquot want geometry I donrsquot care about ana file format I canrsquot use Now we can all keep on being really anabout it or we can simply use the tools available to us one of thebeing IFC

SUMMARY WHATrsquoS

CUSTOMIZABLE IN MAX

(HIGH LEVEL)When it comes to the customizability of Autodesk 3ds Maxregitrsquos no secret that it can morph itself into whatever you want theprogram to become

Whether yoursquore a modeler animator lighter rigger generalist ortechnical artist 3ds Max can become your own personalized toolbox that is an extension of your own hand in your daily workYou can now combine different command types (such as creatingobjects and object modifiers) into a single menu reducing themouse travel and improving efficiency

In this article wersquore going to take a closer look at one specificaspect of customization with 3ds Max the new enhanced UI Aspart of this article besides taking a deep dive into the operationof this feature I will also be showing how I created the ldquoMographrdquo

tools UI that includes custom buttons and icons At the end this article I will also provide a link to this UI so you can use customize it yourself or share it with others

ENHANCED UI SUMMARYWhat is the Enhanced UI

Te Enhanced UI is a new graphical user interface system thdoes two main things

1) It provides a refreshed 3ds Max user interface with updattool categories and new clusters of pre-existing tools in groupinthat are more akin to their intended purpose as opposed to somtechnical requirement for menu placement

2) It provides a way to allow you the end user to customize thmenu system in almost any way you choose Te drop-down menare ldquotear-ablerdquo (not to be confused with ldquoterriblerdquohellip but I digresand the resulting configurations are savable either by scene or

a preset Tey are also distributable and deployable so they can beshared with others

Where is the Enhanced UITe Enhanced UI can be found in the upper left hand corner of themain UI at the very top of the screen Tere is a drop-down menuthat says ldquoWorkspace Defaultrdquo Tis default is the same baselineUI that ships with all 3ds Max installs (Figure 1)

Within the drop-down you can find the ldquoDefault with EnhancedMenusrdquo Tis is the alternative default menu system that youcan use on its own or use as a starting point to create your owncustomized menus

BASIC DEFAULT CUSTOMIZATIONEnhanced UI Customization BasicsNow that wersquove enabled the Enhanced UI how can we change it

SOP Before you begin mucking around with the UI Itrsquos importantto understand what I call the ldquosave-logicrdquo as it pertains to custom UIs

Te UI Save LogicIf you plan on saving this UI for future use there is a specificmethod you must follow to properly save the UI you want and notwreck the default Enhanced UI

Te Save Logic is as follows Itrsquos simple but important

Step 1 urn on Enhanced Default UI (Figure 3)

Step 2 Click ldquoSave as New Workspacerdquo FIRS At this point youwill be prompted for a new name (Figure 4)

Step 3 Edit and change the UI at will

NOE All future edits are ldquoautomatically rememberedrdquo as you go (Iintentionally did not use the word ldquosaverdquo)

Step 4 Te ldquosave as default staterdquo button is important When wehave completed the customization process we then choose thisbutton to ldquolockrdquo in the changes Tis is different than Saving a UIwith a custom name

HO IP ldquoBut this methodology seems backwardrdquo

I can see how yoursquod say that but remember that any changes you make

to any enhanced UI are automatically ldquorememberedrdquo If you create acustom UI then while working you make some temporary changeswhen doing something specific those little changes are automaticallyremembered If you want to return to the default state [of yourcustomized UI] you select ldquoReset to default staterdquo Tis does NObring back the default Max UI rather it brings back the customizedUI you created in ldquolockedrdquo in Step 4

Okay now that you have the save logic down letrsquos begin customizing

1) If you havenrsquot done so already turn on the Default Enhanced UI

2) Go to ldquoManage workspacesrdquo from the drop-down and in the

Figure 1 Workspaces are in the Workspace drop-down menu

Manage workspaces dialog choose ldquoSave as new Workspacerdquo Giveit a specific name

3) Begin making your desired changes

Since a custom UI is specific to any one individual letrsquos take a lookat what types of customizations can be made

Simple ChangesOne of the simplest things to do is peel off any commandgroup (see Figure 5) Just click the group title bar and drag Tecommand group becomes a floating dialog box Now just becauseyoursquove peeled it off does not mean that yoursquove removed it fromthe drop-down menu Te ldquooriginalrdquo command group remains inthe drop-down You can just close the floating dialog when yoursquoredone with it

Probably the simplest thing you can do is reorganize the menusIn each drop-down menu appears a group of commands You maynotice that some command groups are icons and some are words(Figure 6) o change the appearance of the commands there is asmall icon in the upper right corner of each group of commands(Figure 7)

Te next change is alreally simple Is tcommand group op(expanded) or clos(rolled up) Just clion the plus or minsign in the upper le

corner to set this stafor the next time yolaunch 3ds Max (Figu8) Remember thesettings are saved as yogo so whether it is opor closed is your choicbut the state the menis in when you cloMax is the one that remembered the netime Max opens

What about Saving tDefault state More othis later

Once you have floating menu yocan combine differecommand groups dragging any othcommand group to aother floating dial

that yoursquove created Tis makes for easy creation of custom dialo

based on specific tasks Figure 9 shows a command group fcharacter animationFigure 5 A floating menu that has been torn off the drop-downmenu

ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION

What about completely custom interfaces Herersquos how we do thatwith the Enhanced UI menu system

Te following is the high-level overview of the process Wersquoll thenunpack each step in more detail

If you havenrsquot read the section on Basic default customizationplease do so before continuing Before starting this phase ofcreating your new UI you should have saved your new UI stateTat process is explained in the previous section

1) Create a main drop-down menu (like ldquoMy oolsrdquo)

2) Create a tools category menu into which you will place yourtools (a submenu such as ldquoModeling oolsrdquo or ldquoAnimation oolsrdquo)Drop-downs can have more than one subcategory

3) Add commands to various submenus

4) Clean up the UI by creating custom names adding separatorsor creating custom icons

First letrsquos create a new menu for the menu bar Tis is done easilyfrom the CustomizegtCustomize [Rollout]gtCustomize UserInterface dialog box

Steps for Creating a Drop-Down Menu1) Create a New Menu and give it a name (see Figure 10)

2) Locate your new menu in the Menus window It will be listedalphabetically (Figure 11)

3) Drag your newly created menu category over to the column onthe right Tis will add your new drop-down menu to the interfaceimmediately and you can begin populating it with menu items (seeFigure 12)

UI DESIGN IP Te actual menu name and display name can bedifferent I used a custom menu name behind the scenes so I couldeasily differentiate my menus from the ones created by default or other

tool companies After you create a menu and add it to the right column you can right-click on it and change its display name (see Figure 13)

Next letrsquos create a command group1) Just like in Step 1 from the previous section create a new men

2) Tis time before you drag it to the right column click thplus sign next to your drop-down menu item to expand it Tedrag the new item to the right column dropping it ldquounderrdquo thmenu name

3) Drag any commands from the Commands window on the leto the submenu on the right (see Figure 15)

Herersquos an example from my Mograph ools workspace thshows how a completed menu looks once it is created (Figu16) In the following figure you see both the menu as it appeain the Customize UI dialog and the actual menu (which has bepeeled off)

Notice that some of the commands on the menu are greyed ouTatrsquos because this new menu combines both ldquoObject creatcommands and ldquoObject Modify Commandsrdquo in one menTey will remain grey until you create an object on which thwill be used

Adding SeparatorsSeparating commands is easy and is recommended to help you oryour intended user make sense of the how the tools are arranged inthe menu Creating a separator is as easy as dragging one over theright column just like a menu or command

HO IP ldquoWhy do I need to create another menu Why canrsquot I addtools right to my menurdquo

Te main reason is that adding a submenu gives you the ability to tearoff the submenu If it werenrsquot in a submenu it wouldnrsquot be tear-ableSo itrsquos really a ldquobest practicesrdquo kind of thing But even if you try to notadd the submenu it will happen automatically Itrsquos important to do it

explicitly so you are aware of what submenus are in the menu and that you are the one in control of what command is going where

CUSTOM ICONSNo custom UI is complete without a custom set of iconsAdditionally not all commands in 3ds Max have their own iconyet But itrsquos important to realize that regardless of how you set up

your UI yoursquore still working within the framework of an existingapplication and there are boundaries to what you can edit andcreate Icons have specific requirements both in their creation(size) location and file name that must be adhered to in order forthem to work properly

SizeformatTe size of icon is pretty simple It must be 32x32 pixels andPNG format

LocationTe location is very specific New icons must be added to thislocation

CProgram FilesAutodesk3ds Max 2014UI_lnResourcesDarkIconsMain

Te new icons I created for the Mograph UI are shown inFigure 17)

Icon File NameIf yoursquore still with me at this point we are now getting into thenether regions of customizing a UI Tis is where things get a littletricky but itrsquos really not too bad File names are specific and aregenerated by the application (3ds Max)

So letrsquos begin First identify the command for which you want aniconmdashusually itrsquos one that doesnrsquot already have an icon But if itdoes and yoursquore changing it MAKE A BACK UP of the originalicon PNG file Tis is because as previously stated you donrsquot havecontrol over the file name Tat means if yoursquore creating your ownicon you need to overwrite the existing one and use its name foryour new icon So back up any original icons

It really doesnrsquot matter whether you make the icon first or not ofind the name you need to use you need to navigate as follows

NOE Yoursquore about to edit the ribbon Tere is no need to save thesechanges as we are merely extracting information from it But if yoursquoredoing a lot of custom icon work you may want to save this change to theribbon so you can come back and continue your work in later sessionswithout have to recreate this every time just to get the proper file nameSaving this ribbon is not related to saving your default state of yourUI When yoursquore done creating all your UI icons you can just delete

whatever changes you make to the ribbon

1) Open the ldquoCustomize Ribbonrdquo dialog box

2) Create a new ldquotabrdquo by dragging it onto the ldquoExisting Ucolumn in the middle (see Figure 18)

3) Using the same drag method add a new ldquopanelrdquo to ttemp tab (Figure 19)

4) Now you can get the information you need Find tcommand for which you are creating an icon and dragto the panel

5) Locate the ldquoinfordquo portion of the ldquoPreview Windocolumn At the bottom of the column is the file namneeded to have the icon used properly by the applicati(Figure 20)

BIM IsWhatrsquos

Driving theIndustry

For the past decade many would arguethat building information modeling(BIM) has metastasized aggressivelythroughout the AEC industry but what

does BIM really mean More importantly whatdoes it do for us and for our industry Ask someone who hasbeen in this industry for more than 25 years or those nearingretirement and yoursquoll find that less than half see its value muchless care to make the effort with its implementation hesequestions mean something different for those who have beenin the industry the past 10-15 years Recent college graduates

however with their tech-savvy capacity and high expectationare eager to implement anything that resembles cutting-edgflashy technology ypical ly they are the ones most receptivenot adamant about putting their talents to use through BIM

I recently gave a BIM presentation with an emphasis on mchanical systems to the summer interns and new hires our companymdashall were non-BIM users except for onemdashbmy presentation did little justice to BIM Half of my audence had found a cure for their insomnia when they realizthis wasnrsquot the latest edition of ldquoCall of Dutyrdquo hat was n

reflection on BIM by any measure Simply put I fell shortof connecting with a potentially captive audience eager toknow what really makes BIM intriguing or how it wouldgive them an edge in the industry I didnrsquot think to look pastpresenting the facts of its processes and benefits o simplyhave stated that proficiency in any of its many facets willpromote a lucrative career would give those still awake theimpetus to jump ship In hindsight the first step I shouldhave taken to begin this presentation was to ask what theywanted to get out of BIM

If you think itrsquos hard conveying the value and splendor ofBIM to receptive and impressionable young minds try toconvince the weathered veterans dead-set in their ldquooldtricksrdquo For every experienced veteran who has converted toBIM there are two ldquoold dogsrdquo that canrsquot shake ldquothe good olrsquodays when we used vellum and light tablesrdquo Guess whatmdashanincreasing amount of naysayers are starting to come aroundincluding those who say theyrsquove been burned by BIM in thepast hey are seeing the simple solutions BIM presents and

how these solutions translate into cost savings More andmore of those who had formerly questioned BIMrsquos utility areconvinced when installation efficiencies are not only real-ized but quantified

Another factor in the evolution of BIM is its tendency toexpand faster than the pace of its general population of us-ers hose of us proud to be catching up to what we think iscutting edge quickly realize it was just another false sense ofaccomplishment as BIMrsquos web continues to grow exponen-tially he solution is rather simple Focus on what you canhandle and always have the presence of mind and sense ofcaution to avoid being overwhelmed by the wake of BIMrsquos

progress herersquos plenty of money to be made and countlessfacets to explore as long we have the following mentality Welive in the information age and those wi lling to share knowl-edge will reap the rewards of communal synergy

On the opposite end of the spectrum you might find ourindustryrsquos opportunists In a hurried frenzy to claim theirspot in the intellectual property queue these opportunistsget carried away with pioneering what they assume is the lat-est improvements to BIM Instead of stopping to absorb anddevelop the benefits of 4D 5D 6D and so on the pioneersare spreading these ldquoDsrdquo thin with abandon further expand-

ing the gap between quality and quantity None of this i s tosay that wersquore heading in the wrong direction On the con-trary letrsquos call it more of a positive economic problemmdashthedemand for BIM expertise and development outweighs thesupply of available users

Fortunately as collegiate curricula catch on to this industrytrend the point of equilibrium will soon follow For as longas I can remember respective companiesrsquo 2D CAD depart-ments have been a significant source as the breeding groundfor potential BIM users While this route hasnrsquot changedregarding the career path of a draftsperson the source poolhas expanded to include architects engineers and construc-

tion managers just to name a few Itrsquos even hard not to noticeits stark demand when BIM and Revit courses are being in-creasingly offered at local community colleges I knew thenthat you didnrsquot necessarily need an undergraduate degreeback when I got my foot in the door of this industry hisprobably wonrsquot hold true in the coming years Still the privi-leged few who are already a part of this industry subset canrely on their experience in this fast-paced market to con-tinue to propel their careers forward ever faster All thesefew need to do is grab onto a small piece of BIMrsquos wing andhang on tight for the ride he fresh-out-of-college e ntrantsmight have a harder time grabbing onto this wing thatrsquos al-ready in motion

o those who are only vaguely famili ar with BIM it is typi-cally perceived as the equivalent of a 3D role-playing videogame In this case itrsquos not difficult to capture a ldquosnapshotrdquoimage of a 3D model shadows cast across random metal ob-

jects taking up space in an orderly fashion between ceil ingspaces and walls What is difficult is conveying the abun-dance of value behind the pretty picture to a client whorsquosonly interested in the pretty picture Who isnrsquot familiar withthe adage ldquoa picture is worth a thousand wordsrdquo Why notchange that saying to ldquoa BIM model is worth five thousandhyperlinksrdquo Now wersquore talking lifec ycles and facilities man-

Streamlining

Sheet Listswith a Custom

Application

In this article we take a brief look a simpleadd-in for Autodeskreg Revitreg named X-Sheetswhich provides tools for incorporating sheetsfrom an AutoCADreg sheet set in a Revit sheet

list ypically this is handled by manually addingplaceholder sheets to the Revit sheet list Tis can be problematicbecause the sheet list becomes disconnected from the sourceand must be updated manually With X-Sheets sheet set datais exported directly from AutoCAD linked to a Revit project

and included in the sheet list by automatically addingupdatinplaceholder sheets For this example all structural scheduleplans elevations and section sheets are in Revit Structure Adetail sheets will be pulled from an external AutoCAD sheet set

X-SHEETS RIBBON PANEL Te first command on our ribbon panel is Discipline Tcommand is used to establish the Revit project parameter twhich the AutoCAD sheet subsets will be mapped For th

example we have created a project parameter named My DisciplineParameter Each Revit Structural sheet has been assigned a valueof SRUCURALmdashthe same as the subset name for theAutoCAD detail sheets Te sheet list is grouped and sorted bythis parameter

Te next command on the ribbon panel is Links Tis command isused to establish a link between the Revit project and XML file(s)

containing sheet information exported from AutoCAD You cancreate as many links as needed and use relative paths if required

Te next two commands Sheets and Update do the work ofaddingupdating placeholder sheets to the sheet list While theSheets command allows you to select individual sheets from linksto include in the sheet list the Update command includes all sheetsfrom all links

EXPORT SHEETS FROM AUTOCADFigure 3 shows the AutoCAD X-Sheets ribbon panel and asample sheet set containing structural detail sheets Notice thedetail sheets are grouped under a subset named SRUCURALTis subset name can be exported with each sheet and mapped to

the My Discipline Parameter in Revit Figure 3 shows the ExportSheets dialog with an option to include subset information and theability to exclude individual sheets Selecting the Export buttonprompts us with a dialog to save an XML file to be linked into ourRevit project

Itrsquos a fact Jack You invested money in the worldrsquosmost popular civil engineering and designsoftware You (or someone else) will have workhard to make the software run productively

and publish the engineering design or surveywork acceptably

Every AutoCADreg Civil 3Dreg user will tell you ldquoYou need a Civil3D templaterdquo

heyrsquore right sort of You need more than one he suppliedexample Autodesk template files (dwt) are just thatmdashexamplesto show you that things are possible A great many ldquothingsrdquo arepossible in Civil 3D It is data-centric model-based software Asa dedicated content developer and continuous customizer of Civil3D I hope the following perspectives and tips help shorten thecycles and reduce the pain of customizing the software

AutoCAD Civil 3D was constructed from the ground up todisconnect the survey and engineering data from how that missioncritical data is represented

WITH LIBERTY COMES RESPONSIBILITYAs far as Autodesk is concerned what you want the many Civil 3Dldquothingsrdquo to look like and how the Civil 3D data is to be annotated istotally up to you hatrsquos not really true is it Plan sets are publishedin arcane symbolic graphic languages designed to faithfully conveythe design intent to someone who must build it with a plan checkeror two (or three or four) stuck in between

As a professional I prefer to call them ldquoPlan Set Languagesrdquo hhelps focus the development to the publishing of Civil 3D datMost people throw a fuzzy word around this complex mix human perceptive agendas and call that ldquoCAD Standardsrdquo

ldquohe wonderful thing about standards is there are so many of themndash Grace Hopper et al

PICK A STANDARD AND MANAGE BY ITldquoWe already have a CAD standardrdquo his may be the first anworst Civil 3D customization mistake any skilled AutoCAD usor organization can make he odds are the CAD standards yoemployed before do not take into account the data centric anmodel-based methods that Civil 3D employs Simply put Civ3D manages how things look and behave by Style Primitive-basAutoCADreg standards may get in the way

Older ldquoCADrdquo standards by definition must be focused on CAprimitive publishing specifics layer textstyle (height) blo

graphics standards and so on In raw AutoCAD and AutoCAD-based drafting and design software the only way to manage all theCAD primitive stuff was to be SPECIFIC about all the details allthe time he drawing we create and check things in is the drawingwe publish

If you publish work out of quality control or design drawingsin Civil 3D this is a sign you may be missing some of its timesaving advantages

While the old CADD process works it requires a lot of man-hoursdedicated to maintaining and checking the details Clearly one ofCivil 3Drsquos critical design development goals is to rid organizationsand Civil 3D users of this expensive man-hour burden and costhe idea here is to put the man-hours into the iterative engineeringprocess instead Civil 3D Feature data and Style make this possible

Civil 3D styles and label styles do employ the AutoCAD layertextstyle block references AutoCAD customizers are used tohe software is still called ldquoAutoCADrdquo Civil 3D after all Our

AutoCAD customization skills still apply But we must applythem differently and much more systematically Herersquos whyhellip

YOU NAME ITmdashTHE MOST CRITICAL

STANDARDCivil 3D Styles and label styles employ (reference) the AutoCADldquonamedrdquo parts to ldquoexpressrdquo themselves Style tools just look for andmatch the ldquorightrdquo names Change the ldquomeaningrdquo andor definitionof the names and you can change anything

We call this fundamental property and benefit of object-orientedprogramming the Power of Names In programming speak this

concept and practical reality is called a ldquonamespacerdquo

Such a namespace in engineering speak answers the questionldquoIn this context does ldquoDIrdquo means a ldquodrop inletrdquo In a minute wersquollget to the structure of a customization ldquonamespacerdquo for Civil 3DAutoCAD references

THE POWER OF NAMESGo ahead and make a drawing from your current Civil 3D templateoss in some Civil 3D data by data reference from any projectUse the RENAME command on any of the old AutoCAD stylecollectionsmdashtry layers

Rename like crazy Your existing Civil 3D styles and label styles willhappily work exactly the same he components in the Civil3DFeature and Label Styles will go to your renamed layers Becauseyou didnrsquot change the properties of the layers either nothingchanges Itrsquos not too exciting until you think about what it means

FOLLOW A SCRIPTObviously as customizers we never want to do this sort of workmanually Computers are faster better and more exact typists thanwe are We commonly rely on AutoCAD scripts generated from

Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (See the end of the article)

here are a couple of key collections in the object model thatCivil 3D walls off from this form of potentially destructiveuser madnessmdashObject Properties in Drawing Settings and afew things like Figure Prefix Dbs values that are not ever in thedrawing per se

WHAT REALLY MATTERSAutoCAD Civil 3D style is mind-boggling abstraction Everythingis designed and built to point at references We can employ styleabstraction for our benefit

In one sense AutoCAD Civil 3D style doesnrsquot care aboutAutoCAD layer standards block libraries textstyles colorsplotstyles or really anything else AutoCAD From our perspectiveall the Civil 3D styles care about are the arbitrary and exact namesthey currently reference

he Civil 3D customizerrsquos dilemma Keep book on the exactnames here are a lot of names to keep track of You must havea plan You must have rules You must employ the same processesconsistently in the same order to get quality assured results

hat Current word is a wonderfully relative term forthe customizer

Build a set of styles extract them to another drawing rename andor redefine the references and quickly produce a different resulthe Current method makes it easy to propagate success andmistake It makes it repetitively tedious to make fixes

NO CAN STOPAs innovative content developers for Civil 3D we chose to employthe National CAD Standard (NCS) as our fundamental Namestandard Not because we like the NCS but because of all thehard-won experience expressed in these tested standards Inmany respects we employ the NCS UDS (Uniform DrawingStandards) etc in our Production Solution products becauseof the underlying How and Why for those standards and theirpractical published Rules

We want to build faster high-performance vehicles Why reinventthe wheel when we can improve on it

STANDARD KEYS TO NAMEShe NCS employs a hierarchical concept of Keys here areMajor Keys Minor Keys etc that have order precedence and aninterpreted meaning he NCS Layer standard employs the Key-based rules to produce defined meanings to Layers

You can in practice employ the same Layer Keys to be genericor granularly specific about where the published results go Allthe annotation can go to one layer or many different layers forexample Styles andor sets do the work

his KEY CODE structure produces a flexible and structuredldquonamespacerdquo we referred to earlier Itrsquos a namespace that both thesoftware can employ and is relatively easy for us dumb-bunnyhumans to learn to decode when we must Most of the time theusers donrsquot and shouldnrsquot care anyway

Figure 4 shows a few of the NCS ldquolikerdquo Keys we employ in ourproducts We employ them for both layer and block collectionsand even the structure of libraries hey may even be employedin Civil 3D style names when thatrsquos appropriate (See the endof the article)

he customizing key point is that the meanings of these specificKeys can be translated into any other set (or sets) of different

Keys he Key changes can be systematically applied to whatevAutoCAD reference tables and resources we require

he results of any changes will float uphill to the named Civil 3Styles we choose to employ hink of all the AutoCAD referencin a template as a Set

BEYOND AUTOCADNow wersquove looped back to Civil 3D style tools and substantivetheir names and what their parts refer to Welcome to the circuland iterative world that is customizing and employing Civil 3D

Aside from the requisite customization skills and experience build style tools our practical biggest customization issues afrankly Civil 3D human interface issues

No matter how you cut it you have a very limited amount of tespace to help users decide on the ldquorightrdquo style tool to use he teof the style toolrsquos name is all you get to deliver to the user ypicaitrsquos a pick box list

You might get lucky and have the Style Viewer but that Viewcannot represent everything a style can do

FEATURE STYLES NAMESWhat we call the ldquoFeature Stylesrdquo (the Ci3D Featurersquos graphics) require that our stynames explain in simple readable humterms what the tool does For examplesurface style like ldquoContours 1-5 Proposed

Figure 4 Some standard keys

Figure 5 The limitations of user style choice

8122019 augi world 2013 10



For the common and most understood features this makes somesense ASCII order rules how named Styles organize Names mustsort that out

Complex graphic features such as Views have a lot more going onldquoMy Standard Profile Viewrdquo doesnrsquot cut it except in a publishingtemplate he style names must be more informative and specificDoes the Profile View include grid lines or not We must recognizethat the engineering data behind what we want to visualize isvariable and the user will have specific needs to get work doneWhen you check a surface you need to see the data in differentways than when the result is published

Choice of style is productive Choice is not contrary to publishingstandards unless you mix the two

LABEL STYLE NAME FACTORSWhen we open the Alignment Label Style collection andorstart to assemble Sets of Label Styles we see any hope of namesimplicity for label styles disappears in a flash

he majority of styles are annotative here are a lot of formsand specific types of them Label Style ype matters he smartcustomizer employs the Label Style Default (LSD) hierarchyexpressed in the oolspacegtgtSettings tab or ignores it and missesthe benefits

Label styles often must have a geometric framework to themItrsquos about ldquoreadabilityrdquo and meaning Whether this label goes upor down or attaches here and not there is critical to annotativeclarity he graphic structure of many data-rich label styles alsofundamentally matters to the stylersquos upgrade stability herersquos

a maintenance cost to pay if you refuse to employ consistentgeometric structures in label styles

CUSTOM USAGECan users see the right data and at the right time Will the useremploy a general alignment parcel or figure line and curve labelHow do they see the difference in a simple list It is easy to misshow ldquoon-the-flyrdquo annotative information negatively or positivelyeffects design time decision making and quality control Peoplewill make things to get the job done Do you fight it or enable ithe Simple Style Rules anyone can learn

THE CIVIL 3D NAMESPACESA Civil 3D style naming convention must be human readablecreate order in the interface and therefore include a rule-basedeasy-to-learn code system that expresses quickly the critical detailso customize we need two namespaces One for the top-end stylesand one for the back-end AutoCAD references In productionprojects we need a third namespace for how we name the featuresbut thatrsquos another story

his client and this project demand these CAD standards specificsAnother client and project demand something different Even ifyou donrsquot believe you regularly face that common problem you

still have to improve the internal production templates themselveshe method and process arenrsquot different

In our project-based production world Civil 3D users andsupervisory staff can always work with the familiar and publishwhat is demanded in a customized publishing template hetwo-pronged project template approach has the added benefit ofpotentially quantifying the costs and real return on investment forthe customization itself

CUSTOMIZE TO PUBLISH ON DEMANDIn practical terms we can change the expressed graphicsmdashthe PlanSet Language (CAD standards) with managed intern level staffEven non-CAD people can see and identify graphic differenceOnly basic AutoCAD and basic spreadsheets skills are requiredfor much of the work if you have a naming plan ldquoChange thatmanhole block to look like this manhole blockrdquo Your ldquothatrdquo mustbe specific

hen any new technology hits theground there are plenty of false startsand backtracking In time shortcutsare found tricks of the trade are

discovered and best practices are defined So is thecase with Autodeskreg Revitreg even for MEP users his article willoutline a logical roadmap of technical and non-technical mustdorsquos and donrsquot dorsquos for transitioning to Revit MEP From settingexpectations defining goals and plotting in Revit to addressingBIM IPD and VDC the checklist of elements required to helpRevit really work in an office will be covered Every implementationwill come with resistance workflow issues and plenty of headachesbut staying on course and hitting the important milestones alongthe way will help reduce stress of something akin to the craziestfamily trip ever

FIRST CONSIDERATIONS ndash SOFTWAREOne might think it is all about Revit he truth is that Revit reallywants to act as a central location for data that is constantly on themove Much like a smartphone leverages the power of thousandsof applications Revit plugs into workflows with more than a fewAutodesk programs as well as a host of third-party programs hesimple fact that the Building Design Suite comes with so manyvaried applications is a pretty big hint that Revit wants to play ona team Firms need to look at their processes from a high level andlook for the best workflows and programs for the team

FIRST CONSIDERATIONS ndash HARDWAREEvaluate the PCs and know what their capabilities are anknow what Revit requires Search Autodeskrsquos website for systerequirements for Revit products Requirements for three tieof deployment are listed for systems covering an entry-levconfiguration a balanced performance configuration and performance configuration Certified and supported graphi

hardware is also accessible from this page he non-hardwasavvy should seek input from an I professional Revit cannand will not perform on outdated or entry-level PCs and thperson leading the implementation usually takes the blame wheexpectations fall short Best advice is overkill it on hardware Whseems over the top today is inadequate in a year

FIRST CONSIDERATIONS ndash TRAININGhere is no way to get around the fact that training will need tbe done Even if every person in the firm has already used Revtraining on using Revit company standards must still take plachere are many ways to deliver training An in-house expe

can provide just-in-time all the time Autodesk resellers andconsultants typically provide three- to five-day immersion trainingand short- to long-term consulting here are countless web-based training optionsmdashfree and paid Community colleges thatoffer Revit training usually require a final project that will putstudents through the paces and better entrench the

knowledge and skills

On the down side Revit MEP-specific classes areall but impossible to find Lastly the extreme go-getter can buy a book and learn on the job In realityeveryone learns differently and being preparedto leverage all these types of training is the bestsolution People will gravitate to the solution thatworks best for them when it is provided

FIRST CONSIDERATIONS ndash

LINE UP YOUR DUCTS (UGH hellip

DUCKS)Set appropriate goals based on the size of thefirm Small medium and large firms will havedrastically different goals and timelines It mightseem odd but small firms have the upper hand inadopting new technologies and processes hinkabout it What is easiermdashgetting 3 people toagree or 300 Recognize that an AE firm will havecompletely different goals and processes than a solely MEP firmDuring any shift in process be prepared to support the old andnew at the same time and sometimes in the same project hiswill mean keeping symbols in Revit as close as possible to symbols

in AutoCADreg Consider how quality reviews are done and clientexpectations When things look different it is an impediment tochange Minimizing the impediments will help tremendously

All that being said communication is the real key to most everyprojectrsquos success It is important keep information flowing upand down the chain and set the expectations early Some criticalexpectations for this type of implementation are that things will gowrong things will take longer things will look different things willhave to change and things will continue to evolve Remind usersand management of the progress they have been made by trackingand documenting incremental goals

With a general direction and expectations set itrsquos time to get morespecific about the journey his trip is a long one and a phasedapproach is best Firms can tailor the following phasing to suitindividual needs his example has four phasesmdasheach with itsown goals building off the previous phases

Phase 1 - Goals1 Create construction documents2 Improved collaboration3 Interference mitigationo obtain these goals the following Revit items need to be addressedhe first group addresses the goal of good construction documentshe second group deals with process and keeping things standardhe space available in this article doesnrsquot allow for ldquoHow torsquosrdquo foreach item but each is well documented in the Revit help pageand all over the Internet Get a couple points of view and marrythe possibilities to the culture and needs of the firm in question
