Smart Connections for Revit (formerly Smart Details) is a plugin for LOD 400 modeling that allows you to quickly add any number of face-specific intelligent details – which adapt to host-element changes – throughout BIM models. Easily set up rules to insert or adjust details based on gravity point, depth, adjacent elements, and more. It saves many hours per project, especially for structural engineers.
Smart Connections for Revit is an effective and time-saving software: load your families to a project, define rules, insert hundreds of elements into the project with a few clicks, follow project changes, and quickly modify and update inserted details. Using Smart Connections for Revit you can save hundreds of hours per project. Quickly insert hundreds of elements to selected elements according to configurations. Quickly insert and manage intelligent details like structural plates, anchors, grout tubes, etc.
Note: Smart Connections for Revit can be installed through the TOOLS4BIM Dock. When you install TOOLS4BIM Dock you get Dock window, Smart Browser Free and a new tab in the Revit ribbon.
- Easy setup of insertion rules.
- Insert details on any face of host element.
- Use parameters of host elements to make your details smart and adaptive to host length, thickness, height, etc.
- Insert details according to gravity point.
- Insert details based on surrounding elements.
- Save time by using update and modify options.
- Use interaction with Smart Assemblies to prepare shop drawings.
Features:
- Line- and point-based elements (voids or solids) on any element face according to defined rules.
- Use easy-to-set-up rules to define number of elements and point of insertion.
- Insert, update, or modify elements that have already been inserted.
- Insert elements according to gravity point.
- Insert elements by available solid depth.
- Insert Revit families by priority to control which details should be inserted first.
- Make your detail families smart – use parameters taken from your host elements so that you can automatically adjust the size of your detail. In the example below, you can see that the cut length was modified according to the host element’s (i.e. the wall’s) thickness automatically.
- Adjust Layout by Searching for other Elements and automatically insert selected Revit families if conditions are met. It could be used for wall joints, nearby connections, intersection with other elements, and more.
- Use several details configurations on same element and use Multi Detail-Manager to Modify, Update, Delete selected configuration.
- Insert, update, or delete gravity point.
