PCL uses this workflow to prevent documentation rework after design model updates, specifically changes within linked design models. Native Revit functionality lets you divide Parts created from walls, floors, and other objects into pours that can be dimensioned, give accurate take-offs & host families like embeds & blockouts.
Revit Parts are typically used in the construction documentation process when modifications to host objects are required (including linked-model objects) like foundations, floor slabs, walls, concrete columns, concrete beams, structural steel… without actually modifying those host objects in the linked models. NEW FEATURES - Watch the new 4.2.4 features on YouTube. Copy selected family/type definitions from linked models into your current model.Use as investigative tool for Linked model content, shows object counts.Context ribbon tools that Hide/Isolate Parts by original categories/families/types.Creates and manages a 3D history view of all Parts created.
Division tools that quickly divide Parts by levels or saved styles.Find / highlight / review all overlapping Parts in your model in a managed view.Automatically associates the level of Parts from linked-model objects.Create thousands of native Revit Parts from targeted categories/families/types.Filter linked model categories/families/types content by Level.Browse linked model categories/families/types from the aggregated construction model.The managed history view helps you keep track of what Parts were created during each design update. Isolation tools show overlapping Parts to reveal design issues. Context sensitive visualization tools assist in quick hiding & isolation. Drastically reduce time and clicks by instantly creating thousands of Parts from targeted categories/families/types.
