A Blog Post on Using AGACAD's Smart Browser, Plus a Free Webinar on April 14

From the AGACAD website:

April 12, 2022 Aleksandras Šeža

Make auditing your BIM data, Revit family browsing and management look easy

Having consulted Revit users from all over the world who work in lots of different types of design companies, I can say that Revit users generally face similar challenges in working with Revit families and managing projects and have needs like these:

Working with Revit families

• A quick and easy way to modify multiple families from different locations in one go;
• to see in one window all the changes to be applied to the families, from the addition of a new Type to a formula change inside a given parameter;
• to check every parameter of owned families and see if there are any duplicates or typos in naming;
• to standardize the parameter scheme in families.

Free Webinar April 14: The Faster Way to Modify Revit Families & Projects, with AGACAD's Smart Browser

From the AGACAD website:

The faster way to modify Revit families & projects [WEBINAR]

Keeping up with numerous Revit families is time-consuming work, especially in large libraries and projects. Even more so when you need to fill in information that comes from some external file, such as Excel.

Enter AGACAD’s Smart Browser BIM solution for Revit. It gives BIM managers, architects, and engineers full control of families and saves time on all modification tasks.

Free Webinar February 24: How to Automatically Number & Mark Revit Elements with AGACAD's Sort Mark Add-in

From the AGACAD website:

How to automatically number & mark Revit elements [WEBINAR]

Working on building projects requires a lot of attention to the details and precisely organized technical information. A lot of time is spent on repetitive tasks to sort, number, and mark dozens of elements by position, technical specification, function, and other criteria.

The architect marks door elements by type and fire classification; the structural engineer sorts and numbers beams by length and structural capacity; the manufacturer creates a schedule with all the brackets and studs sorted by type and other parameters. All of that takes many hours to do.

Although Autodesk® Revit® itself has a lot of features to manage projects and generate the requisite data and documents, it still takes up quite a lot of time to sort and mark elements. Architects and engineers who use Revit encounter issues like those below frequently. Can you relate?

A lot of repetitive manual work has to be done to calculate the position of certain element groups.

Sorting and numbering or renumbering elements requires a lot of manual work and attention, which is time-consuming – all the more so for huge projects.

Slow communication and human errors inhibit a smooth workflow.

We have a tool that really takes the pressure off your shoulders in your daily tasks, saving lots of time so that you can focus on TRUE project value. Our Sort Mark add-on for Revit makes it easy to define rules for sorting multiple elements and marking them automatically. Check it out in our live, free webinar on February 24!

The Import & Link Manager tool handles both of these issues, making the correction of imports and management of links far easier. Join us as we explore this toolset, so you can more efficiently manage your models.

Learning Objectives: 

• Learn how to obtain the BIM Project Suite
• Introduction to Import & Link Manager user interface

Free Webinar December 22 — Introduction to Room Family Manager from CTC Software's BIM Project Suite

From the announcement:

Introduction to Room Family Manager from the BIM Project Suite

Revit® doesn't have a native way to plan room types and content to be placed. Many of us meet with clients to decide what is needed in the project before preliminary design even begins. This programming needs to be captured so we can validate that we met the program once the design is complete. There are some tools that are very expensive, but if you are seeking an entry-level solution, thie Room Family Manager may be a powerful solution that you can leverage to program your projects with delivery validation.

CTC Live Webinar

Date: Wednesday, December 22nd, 2021

Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT

Cost: FREE

Learning Points:

• Accessing Room Family Manager
