Enhanced Integration of Parametric Metadata from Inventor to Revit

Enhanced Integration of Parametric Metadata from Inventor to Revit

The current functionality of transferring parametric (Building Information Modelling, or BIM) metadata from Autodesk Inventor to Revit serves its purpose, but it remains limited to basic parameters. It allows us to control geometry (size, shape), assign materials, and hide specific parts.

Our product files often contain crucial information that architects require when we share these files with them. To this end, we propose a more comprehensive integration between Inventor and Revit that allows for a complete transfer of all BIM metadata, not just the basic parameters.

 

This enhanced integration would streamline our processes by making all necessary product information readily available in Revit. It would save time and eliminate the potential errors that might occur when manually entering data.

The increased data exchange capabilities would also provide architects with a more complete understanding of our products, facilitating their work and improving the overall quality of their projects.

By implementing this feature, Autodesk can significantly enhance the user experience, optimize workflows, and enable more detailed and accurate architectural designs.

We believe this feature would greatly benefit all Inventor and Revit users who regularly exchange product data, contributing to a more seamless, efficient, and accurate design process.

From the BIM Properties panel in our BIM Definition Add-in for Inventor, you can now assign a Behavior Type (i.e., a hosting requirement) and Category, define static values for the built-in parameters or use an Inventor parameter or iProperty as a formula to dynamically update their values. You can also add Inventor parameters and properties onto the list of built-in properties in a designated Group.

 

This information is displayed on the Revit Family inserted from the Informed Design Add-in for Revit, and on the Family exported using our BIM Definition Add-in's Export RFA command. 

 

For more details, check out BIM Definition Add-in and To Export a Revit Family Using the BIM Definition RFA Export Command.
