Integrated Specifications with Revit
e-SPECS for Revit extends the Autodesk® Revit-based
products document coordination and quality solutions to the construction
specifications. Integrate your design firm preferences to automate
the process of creating your construction specs and access those specs
directly within Revit based applications.
Integrated Specifications
e-SPECS for Revit interfaces with Revit's parametric database,
instantly updating your project specifications to the requirements
of the building model. Insert a wall, door, window, or any other building
object into your Revit model and instantly update your project manual
with the appropriate specifications. Any changes you make to the designs
will automatically be incorporated into the specification manual.
And with the click of the mouse, you can access all the other functionality
that e-SPECS provides to update your sections on-the-fly, post project
notes, review section markups and more. e-SPECS Validation Reporting
console ensures the correct parameters are used resulting in an accurate
coordinated spec manual.
e-SPECS
for Revit eliminates the drudgery of specwriting, saving time and
money while keeping your specifications in sync with your Revit model.
e-SPECS for Revit ensures that your drawings and specifications remain
in sync. If you added a brick wall to your project and later changed
it to concrete, e-SPECS for Revit would remove the unit masonry section
and add a concrete section to the project manual. At any time, you
can review the "history" of your specification sections to see why
it was included in the project. You can also review the Drawing Reconciliation
reports to get a complete overview of all the drawing elements that
resulted in project specification sections. Select a Revit family
and view those specs linked to it and even markup the specs collaborating
with your specifier and other team members.
e-SPECS for Revit generates project specific keynotes coordinated
with your specifications to ensure accuracy in detailing. Rather than
have your detailers select from hundreds to thousands of master keynotes,
e-SPECS generates the list of only those used in your BIM project.
In addition, e-SPECS for Revit generates automatic Outline Reports
and a specification Table of Contents. These facilitate a design process
ensuring the highest quality product is produced without the error
prone and mundane manual efforts previously required without e-SPECS.
Project Collaboration
e-SPECS for Revit brings your entire project team together, enabling
collaboration on your specification documents from any place in the
world. Team members can access the project directly in Revit based
Applications, using the e-SPECS Desktop markup tools, or through an
Autodesk Buzzsaw® online account. Inside Revit, simply select
a family and view the specs linked to that family and even markup
and redline the specs collaborating with your specifier. With e-SPECS
for Revit, you can publish you entire project to Buzzsaw with the
click of a mouse. e-SPECS version control keeps track of all user
edits and makes it simple to incorporate comments and changes from
multiple sources. You'll save time and money and ensure that all team
comments and considerations are included in the final manual.
e-SPECS for Revit
enables direct access to the linked specs from within Revit and makes
it easy to incorporate team members' comments and redlines into the
project manual.
Product Research
Developing the specifications for the products and materials that
are incorporated into your building designs is only part of the complete
specifications package. You also have to identify available products
that meet those specifications. With its built-in browser, e-SPECS
for Revit automates the selection of available products that meet
your specifications by linking to supplier information on the Internet
directly from your specification document. With the click of the mouse,
you go directly to a list of manufacturers supplying products applicable
to the section you are editing. You'll save hours researching products
to include in your specifications and when you find the appropriate
suppliers, information from their web sites can be cut and pasted
into your specifications with a few simple mouse clicks.
