RevitDC Organization
2008 Meeting Dates and Topics
 
6:40 - 7:10 SmartBIM Library – Tom Lutz, Reed Construction Data
Tom Lutz from Reed Construction Data (the producers of RS Means) will show their simple and powerful Revit Library manager, SmartBIM, as well as discuss their approach to creating high quality content to use for your models. Anyone who has experience with using or creating Revit families will be intrigued by this approach to the problems with Revit Families. Reed Construction Data already has over 13,500 high quality Revit families created and available for your use.
 
7:10 - 7:40 Affinity – Dino Agrella, Trelligence
Trelligence Affinity is a tool that automates the process of architectural programming and schematic design. Affinity fast forwards the BIM model into the pre-design phase using intelligent, 3D building blocks such as spaces and openings. Dino Agrella from Trelligence will provide a pointed demonstration of how to create basic Revit models from this automated programming tool.
 
7:40 - 8:00 <VE> Toolkits Nicole Shumaker – IES (Integrated Environmental Solutions)
IES has developed a toolbar, <VE> Toolkit which “plugs-in” to Revit Architecture providing a tool to allow architects to undertake high-level building simulation analysis facilitating sustainable design. This tool analyzes the core aspects of the performance of a building that can be assessed without any specialist simulation knowledge or the need to re-input geometry data. The reports allow architects to make informed decisions about orientation, layout, form and construction.
 

8:00 - 8:30 Social Networking
Network and talk with presenters and other attendees.
