Designing modern buildings requires the use of innovative tools. One of these tools is Revit. A successful case about the transition to new tools from the company "Free Technologies Engineering".

Low-current systems, as is known, do not belong to the main engineering systems of the building and are intended to ensure comfort and safety in the building. However, they are important in any modern building, so the approach to their design requires the use of innovative tools.
One of such tools is Revit. However, it is still not widely used by many low-current specialists. The best incentive to switch to new tools is undoubtedly a successful case from other companies. This is exactly the case that Gennady Dryagin from Svobodnye Tekhnologii Inzhenering presented at the BIM breakfast on December 2.
Why is it difficult to automate the development of low-current systems?
There can be from 11 to 20 sections related to low-current systems, depending on the qualifications of the specialist, company, etc. At the same time, there can be a separate employee for each system.
It is difficult to systematize all the requests from so many people into some single approach, since everyone is different. The number of variants of the drawing execution can tend to infinity. Therefore, it becomes unclear what task exactly the plugin should be made to automate.
Developing plans
In general, developing plans for CC (Communication Networks) sections in Revit is not much phone number italy different from developing plans for adjacent systems.
The only peculiarity and at the same time the difficulty is that low-current people always operate with conventional graphic symbols regardless of the size of the object. As a result, the plans come out very voluminous. And this also leads to significant interspatial intersections and elements hanging in the air.
However, Gennady Dryagin noted that plans do not always have to be ideal, since the installer on site can do everything in a way that is convenient for him personally.
Where to develop SS schemes?
In this case, the designer has two choices: either develop them in AutoCAD and then import them into Revit, or develop them directly in Revit.
For example, you can implement structural diagrams using a combination of two Revit family categories: "Element of nodes" and "Typical annotation". And despite the fact that many are accustomed to developing structural diagrams according to the old principle: separately creating UGO (conventional graphic designation) and marking, in Revit you can remove parameterization already from UGO.
Wiring diagrams, installation diagrams, connection diagrams
According to Gennady Dryagin, when developing schemes, two approaches can also be implemented, but he prefers the following: if there is a scheme that you have used more than once, then you can import it into Revit from another system and not do extra work.
