Think of all the options that had to be cut up by hand and placed in separate cells as options.ĭespite the fact that BIM modellers adapt quickly to this method of working, it initially takes time to master and apply it. Previously it was often a chore to apply the ‘Grid field principle’ to an already modelled house. This simplifies maintenance and searching compared to all separate RFA (Autodesk Revit Family) files, especially if changes must be made to all the families.īecause you create and (re)use building blocks as it were, the management of your house, and the parts that make up the house, is clear and easy. This is, in fact, a Revit project in which Revit Families are included per type and LOD (Level Of Detail) level at fixed locations in the file. These parties make use of so-called Family Packages. Today, a number of Revit suppliers, BIM-offices and Revit users already use the Grid field method consciously or unconsciously for managing Revit families. The Grid field method lends itself very well to the use and management of your library and building components. One of the methods to deal practically with house types and buyer options is the Grid field method. Many house builders nowadays elaborate their BIM models with options (buyer’s choice) in Autodesk Revit.
