The main reason behind this session is due to a question I get asked regularly whilst training the electrical section of an Autodesk Revit MEP course is, “can you re-format the circuit references for 3 phase circuits so they look more like the UK standard?”

Normally the answer is no, as Revit uses the US format for referencing the 3 live phases which are A, B & C, whereas in the UK we use L1, L2, L3. Even when you change A,B & C to L1,L2 & L3 in the electrical settings, it still formats the data back to front to the UK format EG: 1/L1 becomes L1/1.

This session will address this using dynamo and shared parameters to reformat the data.

Graitec invites you to a live webinar where we will demonstrate how our scalable enterprise-level document management system, Opentree, significantly reduces the cost of delivering a BIM project by streamlining your production and delivery processes.

With a rich history of helping customers in the AEC market and over the years have come to understand some of the day to day inefficiencies Architects and Engineers face. From

• Searching on drawings and documents
• Naming files correctly and applying status codes
• Complying to a standard such as BS EN ISO 19650
• Managing E-mails
• Approval process with revision control
• Saving as PDF or IFC
• Issuing information externally and keeping a record

In an industry that pays focus to collaboration, it is becoming vital at the source to produce good quality accurate data. Unfortunately, traditional, often human-led processes do not lend themselves well to meeting this demand and they do have an impact on efficiency

Opentree, a drawing and document management solution by Graitec can help to meet those efficiency challenges head-on and automate the manual, but important tasks bullet-pointed above.

Manufacturers often have a disconnect between design and manufacture.

Drawing offices generally have an established MCAD product like Inventor, but collaboration with the shop floor is often done via STEP/IGES files. The CNC operator uses his/her know-how to create toolpaths and G-code in a 3rd party CAM application.

In some instances, machine operators interpret the geometry and manually create the G-code. Any subsequent changes that are made to the CAD model are not always reflected in the final workshop output, often leading to delays and costly errors.

Another issue faced by manufacturers, is customer supplied IGES files, which are often out of date, missing data, or are difficult to work with.

Register on our webinar to find out how to reduce your production time with integrated CAM in Autodesk Inventor.

Software subscription may be a necessary evil to keep you up to date with the latest updates, service packs and versions of the products you use, but there are also more benefits to doing so.

In this webinar we will look at:

• The add-ins you have access to which come as part of your subscription.
• How these add-ins are found
• Look at some of the features of these add-ins including the Graitec Powerpack for Revit

The main reason behind this session is due to a question I get asked regularly whilst training the electrical section of an Autodesk Revit MEP course is, “can you re-format the circuit references for 3 phase circuits so they look more like the UK standard?”

Normally the answer is no, as Revit uses the US format for referencing the 3 live phases which are A, B & C, whereas in the UK we use L1, L2, L3. Even when you change A,B & C to L1,L2 & L3 in the electrical settings, it still formats the data back to front to the UK format EG: 1/L1 becomes L1/1. This session will address this using dynamo and shared parameters to reformat the data.

Does Revit do everything you need it to do? Would Automation of common tasks have no benefit to you? Are you a qualified/competent programmer that understands the API?

If you answered no to any if not all of these questions, then this webinar is for you.

A lot of people have heard of Dynamo BIM for Revit, unfortunately some people only see it as a computational concept design tool. This webinar will open your eyes to the powerful tool that is Dynamo.

You will see how:

• Dynamo is a visual node-based tool
• Dynamo lets you do things Revit can’t
• Common task can be automated
• To interact with Excel to import and use data
• To use more advance features for interacting with the API
• To use custom packages to add functionality
• Real world projects that benefited from Dynamo
