![]() ![]() I have also used a great deal of software on many platforms, including 3D modeling as practiced by the CG industry, point clouds, programmatic typesetting with Lilypond and LaTeX, and am also closely following OpenBIM initiatives. Therefore, the concepts of decoupling, interfaces, modularity, Robert Martin’s famous code smells of fragility, rigidity, and so on, and technical debt, are all applicable in this field. There are ever-changing client requirements, lots of small pieces that interact, and domino effects of changing the design in one area. ![]() Software architects deal with many of the same issues as BIM data management. I have a background in software development, previously working as a software architect. However, I have certainly used it to document projects, and have used Revit’s API. I speak from the perspective of an architect working on large commercial projects across different building typologies, and therefore do not use the MEP aspects, which may be better than I have experienced here. Its function is to build a 3D “BIM” model of a building and lay out 2D documentation in the traditional form of drawing sheets. Revit is a proprietary software developed by the monopoly Autodesk for the AEC industry. Join the OSArch community today and help drive community-driven AEC tools. It is under heavy development, but all early adopters are welcome. We are now developing a 100% free and open-source native OpenBIM authoring tool called BlenderBIM. Black-box BIM data is no longer acceptable by companies with a large real-estate portfolio. ![]() Data about our built environment is a human right and should be transparent and not governed by a vendor. Update: The popularity of this article has shown the industry needs to break out of the unethical behaviour by proprietary vendors, which result in proprietary incompatibility, proprietary obsolescence, and proprietary subscription. I would play down the title to something more politically correct, but that would risk understating Revit’s limitations that I have to deal with on an almost daily basis. I have used this method before but it was for sections of a building at about 60 degrees from project vertical so i dont know if this also fails at 90 degrees.Revit is shit. ![]() Then rotate the scope box 90 degrees and all the connected views should rotate with it. Make a scope box to fit the size of your sheet in portrait mode, then couple all your existing views on sheets to this scope box. If only Autodesk would implement "Apply print setup to sheet" like in autocad.Īnother option you could try that may be quicker to implement for lots of views is rotated scope boxes. I make selection sets of sheets to be printed, with the paper format in the name of the set. Reread the original post - Printing them differently is the issue. However, dont you have parametric title block families that can be set to different paper formats? I often set up sheets with portrait A0 if it fits the building better and have not had any problems printing them. When you select the view there is also the option "Rotation on sheet" in the properties bar above the view, which can be set to 90 degrees clockwise/anticlockwise. You are right that if you select the viewport on the sheet and try to use the Rotate function to turn it 90 degrees this doesnt work.but there is (As usual in revit) another way to do the same thing. ![]()
