TOP Autodesk BIM Mobile Apps YOU SHOULD KNOW: Tools to create successful projects Constructware Field The Constructware Field mobile app, developed by Autodesk allows users to view, download and upload documents and designs of construction projects from anywhere. Users can access through this application, the file directory to display documents in DWF, standard office documents and images and even specify files that remain available even offline format. In addition, devices with built-in cameras, Constructware Field users can capture and upload photos directly to the cloud application to be displayed later and 'linkadas' to the project. OPERATIVE SYSTEM:  iOS Buzzsaw Mobile Buzzsaw is a mobile application developed by Autodesk, which allows users to securely access designs and construction project documents from anywhere. This tool enables the display of metadata models and Revit and Navisworks made with and supports 2D and 3D DWG format,

How Revit Works

-

Revit is different from AutoCAD as it's a modelling program. AutoCAD historically has been a line (vector) based program. Revit is the application you use to build your model (Lego) and then display the deliverables (drawing sheets). You are able to take snapshots (views) as required. It's a BIG database. Controlled using 'Families' (Dynamic Blocks). Revit uses RVT files for storing BIM models. Parametric objects -- whether 3D building objects (such as windows or doors) or 2D drafting objects -- are called families and are saved in RFA files, and imported into the RVT database as needed. Families do not require programming skills and there are many sources of pre-drawn RFA libraries. The main difference is that AutoCAD is a general computer-aided design and drafting software used to create precise 2D and 3D drawings, and Revit is software for BIM (building information modelling) with tools to create intelligent 3D models of buildings, which can th

Locating 2D Details in Revit Structure

Locating 2D details in Revit Structure Sometimes it can be a real challenge trying to find 2D details within the Revit Structure library. What a surprise it has!. If it is available in the library, why CAD? I even didn't know there was a DWF file located in the root of the Detail Components folder. This has 30 drawing sheets with all the graphic 2D details and the folder locations. Today I am using Revit 2017 and surprise me only one DWF in that UK library folder, and why I wonder I am looking DWF if I have these choices for Revit family for 2D details. Some option or scenario in a working environment, the CAD file can be 2d details if the library is insufficient. But the downside, you have to detail it from scratch or modify it from existing. The 2D detail items can be located in Windows 10 here: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT 2017\Libraries\UK\Detail Items
