It’s always been one of my favorite things about Autodesk® Revit® MEP—that the developers really are working on improving our experience with each release. The Fabrication feature set in Revit 2017 is an example of that continuous incremental improvement.

If you’re especially curious, you can find that previous article in June 2015 AUGIWorld.We Revit users spend most of our efforts digitally, generating content for models and drawings, reviewing PDFs, responding to RFIs. After putting so much effort into the digital version of a building, I don’t know any designer who is happy with the idea that the builders and fabricators just set aside these drawings and start over. We all want to see a more direct translation of our effort into the actual building components.In October 2011 Autodesk announced the purchase of MAP Software, taking a big stride toward that goal of direct translation to fabrication data. However, much of my previous review was spent pointing out how far they still needed to go.Here is the short list of functionality that I still expect in order to consider the fabrication features complete inside of Revit:. Maintaining the Revit style of modeling. Full engineering support. The same ease of documentation.

The ability to create a complete model. Spool drawings. Direct export to fabrication equipment. Support for robotic field layoutJust as before, this is my personal review of the fabrication software within Revit.

Revit’s Style of ModelingThere are some nice improvements and additions, which I’ll cover at the end of this section, but I’ll start with the default and most obvious method presented by the user interface. As you can see from the many available demo videos of the new fabrication features in Revit 2017 (for example or Autodesk’s own channel ), fabrication parts are not modeled in Revit in the same fashion as standard MEP elements. The modeling method for standard Revit MEP elements is strongly based on the straights, allowing the system family settings to insert transitions and bends for you. The new fabrication features default to specifically picking and placing all components. As I said, this is not the only way, just the most obvious.For instance, here is the process to create a run of duct (aligned to another run) 15 feet long, reduce its size, run 3 more feet, turn and run another 15 feet.
