BIS for BIM

[Anonymous]

BIS is the international standard that defines "SI" units for BIM parameters.

Each parameter starts with a hashtag to identify that it is a BIS unit.

The units are interoperable between platforms.

BIS+ is the global coding standard developed for BIM products for international standardisation.  The language is a simplified coding platform specifically for BIM and allows bi-directional interoperability with other coding platforms.

Some typical examples from the BIS standard are given below:

#FLW - Flow rate (water)

#LG - Length

#WI - Width

The standard was developed by Autodesk following an idea posted on one of its message boards.

So.....what is your idea to make Revit better?

[Anonymous]

This would obviously make Revit better if you consider it my friend. Any more constructive comments anyone? 🙂

By adding a # to parameters??....you realize that you can already do this.  If you want that to be your standard go for it.

"Click-to-add-to-formula" would really help me a lot. I mean something like in Excel, when you click on a cell to add it to a formula. But in Revit you would have to click on a parameter name to add it to a formula. Parameters may have  long names sometimes. It's tedious to type parameters names again and again (without any auto-correct).

Just click to click to add. So much time saved, especially for complex families containing many parameters.
