Scaffolding families - best method to use?

Anonymous

Hi Everyone, 

 

We're currently using AutoCAD to model and document large scaffolding systems - we have dynamic blocks of all the different system components which contain node snapping points. This method is extremely easy to model large systems quickly, we basically turn off all snaps except for node, and then copy/array everything we need into position. The downfall is that when it comes to documentation, we're finding AutoCAD is too cumbersome and does not give the flexibility we need to create our drawings as quickly as is possible in Revit. (think section boxes, scope boxes, sections, callouts, etc. etc.) 

 

So my question is, to emulate the behavior of our dynamic blocks in Revit, should we be looking at adaptive components with embedded point elements, so that we can snap everything together quickly in the project environment, or would the better workflow be to use column and beam families? 

 

Here's a screenshot of our AutoCAD blocks, I've pulled them apart - you can just see the node next to the bottom right member.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Hi Tito! 

I was looking for scaffolding families and came across your design. It looks very impressive and highly detailed.
I am currently working on a project and I need those families. Would you be willing to share them with me? It would be extremely helpful.
Please let me know what you think.
