Revit’s path of travel tool makes for quick and easy egress calculations

When working on a building design, many factors must be balanced. One factor that must always be considered is that of life safety, where distances to the exits are essential calculations for compliance with fire codes. Revit 2020 introduced the path of travel tool to assist in measuring travel distance requirements to make fire life safety simple and fast to calculate.

Loading Steel Connections from Libraries using Dynamo

The new version (2020.2.115) of the Autodesk Steel Connections 2020 Dynamo package introduces a bunch of new Dynamo nodes and capabilities. One of these new features allows Dynamo scripts to load preconfigured connection types from external Revit files, rather than requiring them to be present in the current project.

Automation and cloud collaboration workflows for structural steel in BIM 360 and Revit

During Autodesk University Las Vegas 2019, I taught a class called “Connected BIM for structural steel design, detailing and fabrication with BIM 360”. I discussed how structural steel design, detailing, and fabricating teams can work together with BIM in the cloud, and I illustrated how Autodesk BIM 360 Docs combined with Autodesk Revit and Advance Steel in the AEC Collection can be helpful for coordination on a project.
