PARTsolutions-Parts/components from BIM catalogs (such as Novoferm ) can be classified according to OmniClass, UniClass, IFC, PDT, etc. and bring this information with them when exporting to Revit.
In addition, these parts/components can also have the assignment of a Revit Family Template (*.rft) from the Revit standard, which is used as the basis for creating the Revit Family (*.rfa).[6]This means that the correct family template is automatically used in Revit, so that manual assignment of the template in Revit is no longer necessary, which makes daily work considerably easier.
Positioning information, for example "internal" for a garage door, is directly available. The corresponding extractor body is also realized directly when the door is placed in the wall according to the classification.
A brief overview of the PARTsolutions interface:
In the PARTsolutions -Menu, click on Insert 3D or Insert model.
Specify the desired part in PARTdataManager or 3Dfind.it.
The following figure shows a garage gate from a BIM catalog.
Specify the dimensions of the gate. Choose whether the gate shall be opened or closed, the motor position, color and much more.
PARTsolutions menu in Revit, opened Seamless window with garage gate and gates placed in the building.
Determine the installation position with the cursor and perform a single click.
The garage gate exported from PARTsolutions is "smart". It "knows" how to place itself in the wall (interior side).
