Parametric objects refer to elements exported from Snaptrude that retain their parametric information when transferred to Revit. This parametric information allows for further editing and manipulation within Revit using the software's built-in tools. Here's a breakdown of key features:
- Embedded Data: Parametric objects carry data about their geometry, materials, and properties within their structure. This data allows for editing parameters like dimensions, profiles, and materials directly within Revit.
- Flexibility and Control: Architects and designers can use Revit's strong editing tools to change adjustable objects from Snaptrude. This makes sure their designs fit smoothly into the detailed Revit model.
- Examples: Common examples of parametric objects transferred from Snaptrude to Revit include walls, floors, ceilings, beams, and columns. These elements retain their parametric properties like thickness, width, and material assignments, allowing for further refinement within Revit.
Benefits of Parametric Object Transfer:
- Less Redoing: Keeping the parametric info means you don't have to make elements from the start in Revit. This saves time and lowers the chance of mistakes.
- Better Design Fine-Tuning: Revit's editing tools let you make exact changes to parametric objects. This leads to a more fine-tuned and organised design.
- Easier Work Process: The easy transfer of parametric data makes the work process smoother between the concept design and detailed documentation stages.
