Include Custom Families
MasterSeries also allows you to include any of your own custom-built Families in the the uni and bi-directional link. By using the Family Mapping Database, you can add a variety of section types across three different material types (concrete, steel and timber). For materials that don't quite fit into these categories, you can add a User Section based on the section's mechanical properties.
Review and Refine Imports
The bi-directional link provides you with the opportunity to review and refine the export/import process between MasterSeries and Revit. With each successive update of the model, you'll be presented with a list of changes, including details of changes to section sizes, member positions, and any clashes between the Revit model, and the MasterSeries model. You can then decide which changes to keep, and which changes to discard.
Specify Default Sections
Default sections can be specified for every type of section and every type of material. Default sections can also be tied to a specific version of Revit. For example, if a particular I-section is only available with version Revit 2016 and beyond, you can tell the software to only apply this default section when using Revit 2016 and above.
Access Databases Remotely
For larger organisations, the Revit Add-In databases can be hooked up to an SQL Server to which staff can remotely connect to. This allows company-wide control over mapped sections for the adding, removing and updating of Families, ensuring all work will be carried out to the same standard.
