Drawing production
Efficient drawing production is an essential skill if you wish to master Revit and deliver a set of PDF and DWG files as project deliverables.
We can increase productivity for drawing production by focusing on three best practices:
- Plan the drawing list.
- Work with a good Revit template.
- Control drawing visibility.
Plan the Drawing List
At the beginning of each stage, we must plan the drawing list to be produced and avoid creating drawings as the project continues to be developed.
When we have a list of drawings, the project team or the BIM coordinator can quickly create all the sheets with the correct names, numbers, statuses, and other information. This process is essential for gaining productivity in delivering drawings. We can automate this process to create multiple sheets directly in Revit, or we can use the Dynamo and Revit plugins to speed up this process.
The key point is to make it clear what deliverables will be produced...
