We’ve put together a couple of “sneakpeeks” to summarize a webinar we hosted in 2017 about using our Cut Opening tool to, you guessed it, cut openings in a Revit model! In the pair of videos below, you can see the software being used to insert openings for MEP services – including fire safety components – and generate builders work drawings.
How can Cut Opening enhance your Revit workflow?
- Auto-creation of openings for MEP services
- Configuration preparation for openings (Opening size, Joining distances, Partial interference)
- Running interference checks
- Insertion of openings, combining configuration data and interference check report from Revit
- Preparation of builders work drawings
- Shared parameters
- Tags & schedules
- Visual representation of holes in structures
- Special features for fire protection system designers
- Auto-distribution of fire dampers, collars, sleeves, and boards
So, there’s a brief look at what Cut Opening can do. If you’re already a user, perhaps these can be of help to you. And if you’re not using Cut Opening yet, we invite you to try it out! Take a free trial by downloading our TOOLS4BIM Dock below.
