Standard Set and Revit Model
This is also known as “Graphics Standards”, “Sample Set” or “Go-by set”. It’s a set of drawings that has been implemented, reviewed and approved to be used as an example for designers of an AEC firm. The drawings are very useful in that sense by themselves, but having a matching Revit model that designers can use really takes the concept to a new level.
Here are some of the elements that are typically developed with this service:
Graphics, symbols, and layouts
Naming conventions, typical notes
Populated content. All the data that can’t be shown in a template and requires information from a real project to be explained.
Commentary to explain how items should be drawn or noted from a technical standpoint and also how to achieve that with the software (Revit).
A matching Revit model that can be used to examine and understand elements, their settings, functionality, and how they are put together.
Here are some compelling reasons to adopt a Standard Set with matching Revit model:
Store all the design and documentation standards in one place
STORE
A place to capture edits and updates to the standards.
ADAPT
It help new hires and established designers conform to your firm’s standards.
GUIDE
A training tool with commentary on how to meet the standards quickly and accurately.
TRAIN
Utilize the same set as an updated Sample deliverables when required for proposals.
SHOWCASE
Deliverables:
Standard Set. A set of drawings that shows your standards and commentary.
The Revit model that was used to produce the Standard Set.
Examples.
In this particular set you see two types of notes by color: the red notes are technical standards, the purples ones describe how to achieve a certain standard using Revit.
