It's hard to believe it's now August, and we still haven't covered all of the powerful new features in Revit 2017!
In this post, we will review the new Design to Fabrication feature.
Revit MEP designers can now “convert generic Revit MEP elements to Fabrication Model” with LOD 400 detail Fabrication Parts. This means you can convert selected parts or an entire duct or pipe network.
The Design to Fabrication tools provide a more efficient workflow, since the fabrication model does not need to be redrawn from scratch.
Here is a short video demonstrating how to use the Route and Fill with Revit Fabrication Parts.
