Medical Equipment Modeling

Hello, I have to update surgical boom arms from CAD and Solid works into Revit for work.  Nothing to detailed, just so architects can use the families to space plan their layout in Revit.  I was wondering how to approach modeling of these pieces of equipment. If I should do a bunch of parameters for the different lengths, or yes/no options with families.  Thanks!

I don't think you need any parameters. You just need to add some linework or geometry in the family that represents the radius of the fully extended arm for the Architect to be able to determine clearances and check interferences.   

 

...I might have misunderstood. Are you tasked with updating existing Revit families -- or building Revit families?

I am not sure yet, but I believe at worst case scenario I would be building families,

in a such like yours I'd proceed as follows:

  1. First, create a New Family using Specialty Equipment Family Template
  2. Import, then, the file in .dwg or .sat format into this Family. If the original object has layers for material then these parameters can be changed in Revit Family Editor
  3. I'd create a Place holder consisting a rough simplified form made in Revit (optional , but a good choice) that has the purpose to swap the detailed object in general plans ( scale 1/100 or even 1/50). 
  4. You can also create 2d simplified shapes using symbolic lines and Masking Regions placed over the top view of the model and controlled by visibility parameters - they will be seen only in plan views.
  5. Create a Clearance Zone around the object (usually a parallelepiped shown with hidden lines) necessary for use and maintenance purposes
  6. and , very important I'd allocate non geometric Parameters to the object, like the producer, installation power, and all sort of info from the technical book of the object.
  7. if there are more types for the family I'd create several Family Types each with its parameter.
  8. Connectors  for electrical (or/and plumbing ) will be necessary to be placed on the object so that the MEP engineer to be able to use in his/her network

if you want to more infos on these problems, I recommend you to have a look at BIM store Bible:

Hello, I do not know if they are doing this, but I know a great company that is engaged in the maintenance and repair of medical equipment. The clinic where my sister works cooperates with them. And this is one of the best clinics in our city. In addition, they are engaged in the creation of medical equipment testing maintenance guide, so I'm almost sure that they will be useful to you even if they can't make the equipment you need. I generally admire doctors. The job of saving lives is very cool!
