Revit :: Automated MEP Projects
Nov 5, 2012
I'd like to know if there's a software or plugin that allows you to (semi-) automatically create MEP projects, e.g.:
Â
(Electrical)
Once you have the masonry, you position the wall switches and plugs (set the type, wattage, etc), and the program automatically projects the wiring through the shortest route, including the gauge and protection, and possibly even the switchbox.
Â
The same basic concept could be applied for hydraulic and air also, however, depending on the dimensions the program would need you to inform the areas/walls where it can place ducts/plumbs.

I'd like to create a 3D view of an element to be able to use in different projects. The best logical way I can think of would be to create such element in a project just for that purpose, create 3D views with annotation and then somehow import only those 3D views to the project i'm working on...
Â
I think it can't be done this way but it shows what I want to achieve.
Â
What's the best way to reuse a 3D detail with annotations?

I have recently been informed that my Revit 2013 is not compatible with the classes that I am taking. I have installed Revit 2012, but my projects cannot be opened in 2012. Is there a better or a way at all to transfer these projects?

How to import 3D projects from AutoCAD Architecture into Revit ?  A 2D layout has come through from a 3D DWG, though 3D structures have not.

In AutoCAD Architecture the project can be divided into divisions [URL] ...... Is there anything similar in Revit? Or is there a parameter, that enables dividing the project into divisions during IFC export? The aim is to have an IFC model with divisions, that are visible in a model tree view (for example in Solibri Model Viewer).

"Can a color scheme be copied between non linked projects or does it have to have existed in the template view or be re-built in the new project view? Â I am surprised it can't be 'transferred' with other project standards, unless you can tell me different?"

I have a very large number of 4-color TIFFs that I need converted to 2-color PSD or DCS files. Before I do a whole lot of banging my head against the wall — or heavens forbid trying to write my own script from scratch — I'd like to know if it's feasible.
Â
First, I'm not new to this. I don't need instructions on how to create 2-color DCS files from 3- or 4-color art. I do it quite often. Only I do it manually (using different methods, depending on the art).
Â
What I have are hand-drawn illustrations, mostly black line with blue tints. The problem is they're 4-color. The colors are consistent — I have the same 4 tints or shades of blue plus black (or 3 tints of blue and one blue/black mix + black). I have no issues using grayscale + levels to generate the spot color channels, or Select Color Range and different percentage fills in those channels.
Â
What I have is about a thousand of them — yes, literally 1,000 images — and I need them done as soon as possible. I don't relish the idea of going through all of them with the same operation, not when it can be automated.
Â
So that's my question — can it be automated? What I understand is this is primarily a process that requires human intervention — a human brain that can decide "this, not that." Can I create an Action that says (for example):
Â
set theColorRange to 67, 32, 23, 6
select theColorRange
fill channel Pantone Black 4 U 40%
fill channel Pantone Process Blue 100%
Â
set theColorRange to 45, 15, 15, 0
etc...
Â

I have 1000 or so CR2 raw files that I need to convert into 2000 px .jpg files. I tried the batch and action combo but I can’t get past when the file is opened in camera raw and the action stops.

I need to produce images of the garments, lets say a shirt, that is placed on a manequin/dummy, then the image is altered in Photoshop to remove the background and the manequin/dummy.
I understand I can use the Magic Wand task to do this.
What is the most efficient way of automating this process as I will have an initial upload of 300 images/products and I really dont want to have to do them all manually.

Via Actions, the Sphere filter, and a great original earth pic , I've generated a 352 layer file of the earth spinning. Each layer shows the earth from a slightly different angle. WIth lighting effects and all, it's pretty cool.
Now I want to export it to 352 (alpha-channel-enabled) .png files for inclusion ito a Director program. (A simple GIF animation using ImageReady leaves fringing.)I cannot figure out how to create the separate files except via by hand. Any ideas?

I have an assembly that is a general model with different modules that all are iAssemblies.
With this model I can speed up the design process at the company I am working for.
In the model I only choose the correct member for the iAssemblies and the assembly updates correctly and just with a couple of clicks I have made a configuration of all the modules.
Now, I would like to take it a step further and have the drawing, for the specific configuration, generated automatically.
In the drawing I would like to have the master assembly presented in sheet 1 and the modules presented separately in different sheets, all sheets with BOM lists.
Is this possible to do?
(Next step is to export all the BOM lists to an excel document that can be sent to the product co-ordinator to build up the database system)

I am mechanical drawing and search a better way for the drawing generation. I have to learn some of VBA (or VBS?) for use Ilogic rules. My questions are:
1.- How learn or search more easily and faster the inventor objects for drawings and how to use this objects, undestanding the relationship between its function names and another properties for writing the correct mode in VB? I know some of VB buti see that the library objects from Inventor are "a lot of stuff".
2.- Is there a rule that can get, automatically, the centerlines from a drawing, when the drawings is generated in a idw file? (10 drawing in one idw file ).

Is there any way to ad more customizations to it?
Instead of doing post work, can I change it to use my banner and other preferences automatically?
I know of the different choices possible when going through the photo gallery creation options, but I want more.
The index pages are not a problem but it's all of the image pages that become time consuming.

using automated actions on my photos for a while, (rotate, re-size etc etc), but whenever I do this, every single time it asks me to complete the "Jpeg Options" box (compression levels).
Can I override this, and just set it so it automatically saves at a particular setting? when i've got hundreds of photos to have to click "ok" on each one!

We are now working in civil 3D 2011, and have started using the .txt files now instead of the fieldbooks of the past. I have created a Description key set, along with a figure prefix database and a linework code set. everything works fine as long as the field crews use EP1, EP,2 EP3, ETC.. But we would really like to utilize the Begin and End function of this. I have unchecked the box that says Automatic begin on figure prefix match, but still no luck. I have also checked the linework code set and it all looks good <Space> delimiter etc..

I am interested in building an automated retouching system for a specific form of photography. The system needs to be able to handle a large workflow of images and create a look that is desirable and state of the art. I can see that there are a lot of systems out there that deal with portraiture etc and feel that if we could develop a similar system with actions for the specific work that I shoot it would be great.

I work for a trophy company and we set up all of our trophy plates in Corel.  The company that I used to work for used EngraveLab.  With EngraveLab I could make a Notepad file with all of the information that I wanted for each trophy plate.  Then I would go into EngraveLab and set up one, hit a few buttons and it would automatically set up each plate for me, using the Notepad file to replace the text on each one.  In a few minutes I could have 500 or more name plates set up.  My question now is there a way to automate the text replacement so I do not have to mistakenly copy and paste each name by hand?

creating a named sketch block (in an ipt) containing entities that I have created in the same sub? I'm doing this from Excel, in Inventor 2010.
What I have:
Â
Function CreateUncutTagSketchBlock()Dim IVApp As Inventor.ApplicationDim oDoc As DocumentDim oCompDef As ComponentDefinitionDim oSketch As SketchDim oTG As TransientGeometryDim FileName As StringDim Coords(1 To 10) As Point2dDim oSketchCircle As Circle2dDim oSketchArcs(1 To 2)
[code]....
 note that i've also taken a shortcut with the arcs, and the circle. I did try to create them using the same naming convention as the lines, but... I failed to implement it successfully.Also, I can not quite figure out how to constrain all the start/end points together.

I have a large amount of "ellipses" in a Civil 3D 2013 drawing that were created as "circles" in Cyclone 8.03 (the laser scanning software from Leica-Geosystems). I need to work with circles so I can label the diameter of each in my drawing. Is there a way to automatically convert these ellipses, that have the same exact minor and major axis, into circles? Other wise I will have to reapeat the work in Civil 3D using the same point cloud!

Is there a reason a sheet metal "cut" isn't an option for the automated centerlines tool? Am I overlooking something? When I make holes in sheet metal parts, I draw the circle then "cut" it into the sheet metal. For some reason I can't find how to give those automatic centerlines on drawings.

I've been trying to set up an automated process for capturing JPG's and merging them -without user input- to an HDR and then save it to an OpenEXR file.
The capture process is functioning correctly, but I need someone to explain me this:
How do I tell photoshop (with Javascript or VBScript) to merge the contents of, let's say, 'C:HDRJPEG' to a HDR, without attemping to align, and then save it to 'C:HDRHDR.exr' ?
I am using Photoshop CS2 on Windows XP. I don't understand the scripting langages completely

When I click to to automated centerlines, it usually places a vertical/hozional centerline on all the circles in the drawing like in the first attachment. Â But, sometimes it will make the centerline to angle around the center like in the second attachement.
What you have to do so that the centerline come off at angles like in the second picture?
Otherwise I end up using the centerline feature and drawing them all in which is a real hassel!
