Numerous Revit plug-ins allow us to calculate and create diagrams. However, as result, we still get the common 2D schematics without interactive connection to informational (data) model.
BIM DEFENITION
Trays, pipes, panels placed in the 3D model, thousands of components, that must be defined and designed, numbered and connected between with cables and wires are not the BIM without arranged data.
The cable and wires must be laid out with cross-sections and lengths, should be assigned with colors and identifying markers. Schematics must be documented across thousands of pages.
#TEBIN went a little further and decided to evaluate #EPLAN software package. EPLAN is designed to create information models of electrical panels. It combines with #Revit.
Using EPLAN allowed us:
• To minimize routines, mistakes
• To combine all single line diagrams in one schematic informational model with hyperlinks navigation
• To manage revisions and changes in schematic automatically
• To create a QR-code or direct link to each part of equipment
A brief example of integration is shown in the video below
