View and Share Any Design File

would you like to view and share your design files without having to login to a website with no downloads and no plugins required? Well Autodesk has launched a website to do just that. 

view 2D and 3D designs in over 50 file formats. I tested the site today with some large Revit models and my browser handled the viewing just fine. Actually my models loaded quicker than when I place them into A360 for viewing.

You have the ability to turn on and off layers / categories, view sheets and 3d views for Revit models. Even explode your model if you wish. Many more features available I suggest you check them out.

Revit to Fabrication CADMEP workflow

I have been working with contractors that are utilizing Autodesk Fabrication CADMEP for their fabrication designs. These contractors are receiving Revit files from MEP consultants however they tend to re-create the fabrication drawings manually and not utilize a BIM workflow.

I have been working with them to get the consultants Revit files into Fabrication CADMEP. The two videos attached will show you quickly how content from Revit can be brought into Fabrication CADMEP and populated with the proper content required for construction.

Stay tuned for more posts on Autodesk Fabrication and the exploration of using Revit for Fabrication drawings in the coming weeks.
