CNC fabrication, families and assemblies

Hi there,

 

We just started with Revit coming from Archicad because the flexibility of families and nested families. I am trying to do a simple exercise to check that Revit will fit our workflow.

 

We do custom fitted elements like staircases to be directly fabricated with a CNC router, we are looking at a workflow that will allow us to model this in Revit directly integrated with the rest of the project. Is there a way once you have all the elements of a staircase modelled to flat out all the components in a single view so we can output this as CAD file and feed the CNC directly. We normally use a laser cutter to prototype the assembly at 1:10 scale before jumping to 1:1 CNC

 

I see that assemblies can "isolate" a group of elements from the rest of the model and that you can create views of the assembly but I am not sure how to flatten all the parts on the same plane.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you very much!

I believe there are some dedicated third party apps for taking revit geometry directly and formatting for certain CAM / CNC platforms. My understanding is that this varies based on the workflow that you engage in. I would investigate some of these other apps to save you the conversion hassle and maintain a streamlined flow of data from your model to milling process. Hope that helps.

When I would make drawings for production I probably would use programs like Autodesk Inventor. In Revit you can make the stairs in a broad shape.

But when you go down to make it ready for CNC I think the accuracy is not enough. Then you start to want to draw all the holes, flanges, bolts, take into account tolerances and things like bend radius. Programs like inventor are much more suitable for this kind of work. And for platework it has the (un)fold tools available.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
