Revit to Assemble missing properties

Dears,

 

If i have an ARCH. 100 mm wall, consists of 20 mm cement, 60 mm gypse and 20mm paint identified in the wall structure. is it possible to filter for example, the walls that has Gypse as a component in Assemble ? if yes, how do i filter it ?

Thanks

Hello Andrew,

 

To answer your question, it's possible but not guaranteed. As Assemble does not provide a material takeoff, it would be necessary for a property, whether Revit native or custom Assemble, to indicate walls containing Gypse. 

 

In regard to how to filter, or obtain a quantity, for objects containing Gypse, I'll provide two examples, using Revit parameters or Assemble properties.

 

1. Model based parameter:

Within the Revit model, the wall object may contain the value "Gypse" for its Structural Material parameter, or "Gypse" for the Type Mark parameter, or even a custom Revit parameter that identifies "Gypse" in relation to specific wall types.

Using an example of a "Metal Panel on Metal Stud" wall, this wall has a model property called Structural Material, with a value of "Air Barrier - Air Infiltration Barrier". I would use Assemble's Visibility Settings and create a rule to show only objects with a Structural Material property equaling "Air Barrier - Air Infiltration Barrier" (but would not be able to collect a quantity of this specific material).

2. Assemble custom property:

Within Assemble, you could create a custom property, such as "Gypse Material in Walls" with a data type of Volume, but you would need an individual to manually enter this volume, which can then be rolled up to provide a quantity for Gypse, and could be used in a filter to hide all objects without a blank value for this custom property.

I hope I've addressed your question, but please respond if you have follow-up questions.

Right-click Desktop  Display settings  Scale and layout. Change the screen resolution down to 100%. Locate the properties panel and project browser  sign language alphabet  that was left off-screen.In the Project Browser, while pressing Ctrl, click to select non-adjacent sheet names, or while pressing Shift, click to select adjacent sheet names. Then right-click, and click Properties. When you use this method, changes that you make to the sheet properties affect all selected sheets.The Layer Properties Manager helps you organize, sort, and group layers, and allows you to work with layer standards, layer key styles, layer filters, layer overrides, and saved layer states. In the Layer Properties Manager you can perform all activities related to layers: Create, rename, and delete layers.
To edit the linetype of property lines in Revit. Navigate to Manage Tab  Settings Toolset  Object Styles and finally, it is found under the Site category. Here you can change the thickness of the line and also the colour. This change is reflected project-wide as opposed to it being view specific.
