REVIT TEMPLATE AND PROJECT START UP- Setting up a new Revit project is a time-consuming and error-prone process that involves multiple manual steps, including entering project information, setting site locations, linking background models, and defining worksets. Inconsistent data input and inefficient workflows often lead to errors, wasted time, and rework, affecting project delivery speed and accuracy.
-The Corgan Revit Project Startup tool is a custom-built Revit plugin that automates the project setup process by standardizing workflows, reducing manual input, and ensuring data consistency. Integrated into the Revit Ribbon UI, it provides an intuitive, step-by-step guide for project teams, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup process.
By automating key aspects of project initialization, the tool minimizes errors, saves time, and improves collaboration across teams working on Revit models. -
Streamlines project setup, data entry, and collaboration, ensuring accuracy and consistency across Revit models
PROJECT START UP- PROJECT START UP USER INTERFACE- Enter Project Information Automates project parameter entry (client details, applicable codes, etc.). Ensures accurate and consistent information in Revit’s Title Block and Project Information tool.
Set Project Location Selects the site location early in the process to ensure accurate jurisdictional data. Avoids legal discrepancies by integrating location-based standards.
Set Code Jurisdiction
Defines the AEC code version applicable to the project. Some selections automatically modify elements in the model (e.g., accessibility compliance for Water Closets).
Link Background Data
Enables seamless integration of CAD files, surveys, and consultant Revit models.Offers guided linking with options for Project Base Points, Shared Coordinates, and Geometry Alignment.
Establish Project WorksetsAutomates workset creation and management for optimized model organization. Provides pre-configured naming conventions for intuitive sorting and collaboration.
Set Project ExtentsDefines modeling scope to eliminate unnecessary elements. Uses interactive menus to specify building levels, scope boxes, and construction phases.
Connect to External DatabasesLinks Revit to external sources (Keynote files, Shared Parameters, and Newforma). Ensures dynamic updates and consistent data across models. Finalize Project SetupVerifies and commits all changes, displaying a summary of modifications. Improves workflow efficiency by ensuring a structured project setup from the start. -
