Using the Component Distance Rule to Verify Compliance with Design Requirements

A common problem in BIM Design is objects that are frequently left in the model at incorrect locations. A typical example of this would be light fixtures that are not correctly attached to a ceiling or are floating in space at heights that are not aligned with the design specifications, or worse yet, not located […]

Missing Components When Exporting Elements Only Visible in View Within Revit

The IFC Exporter in Revit allows you to export only elements that are currently visible in the view. You can use this option to isolate only the elements you wish to export rather than the entire project. However, some elements, even though visible in the view, may fail to export in the IFC if the Detail […]
