This is not entirely surprising, as a lot of these tasks are not always performed by architects, MEP, or structural engineers. The goal of this article is to offer a high-level overview of important options to help bridge the gap in some areas, and offer up new solutions to previously overwhelming tasks one might wish to perform in Revit to produce high fidelity site models. The topics that will be covered in this article include: With this information, teams can improve collaboration and enhance model fidelity across a project’s design team. Let’s dig in and take a closer look at each of these topics. AutoCAD Civil 3DĪutoCAD Civil 3D is Autodesk’s platform for survey and civil design and documentation. I helped my previous firm implement this product shortly after it came out in 2005 prior to that, they were using Autodesk Land Desktop. Similar in some ways to Revit, Civil 3D revolves around a 3D representation of the project, where individual elements hold information. It differs from Revit in that it is still very much a file-based system where only one person can work in a file at a time, so a project is typically broken up into separate pieces, for example, grading, alignments, pipe networks, etc.Ĭivil 3D is a tool designed on top of AutoCAD for civil engineers. There are a lot of sophisticated workflows and dialogs (some of the most complicated dialogs I have seen!) used to automate, or at least streamline, tricky things like developing the path of a road, which has defined components (two lanes, boulevard, sidewalks, and daylighting grade) which optimally interacts with the existing grade. Survey crews can standardize their data collection in the field in such a way that Civil 3D will automate the surface creation and linework, like back of curb and fire hydrant symbols.
