Drawings Automation from RVT or IFC Models

You can automatically create annotated and dimensioned 2D DWG drawings, such as plans, sections, and elevations, from a BIM model.

The BIM drawings retain all the BIM information. Additionally, a link with the BIM model is created. When a new version of the BIM model is available, you can automatically update the BIM drawings.

Drawing creation consists of the following steps:

• Create 2D drawings from the BIM model (BIMAutoDrawings)

• Add dimensions (BIMAutoDimensions)

• Place all necessary labels by extracting information from BIM entities (BIMAutoLabels)

• Start Material Mapping (BIMAutoMaterialMapping)

• Place on Sheets (BIMAutoSheets)

You can run each step automatically using a dedicated command. Alternatively, you can run all steps at once using the BIMAutoAll command.
