In Revit, the precast tools provide an easy way to create 3D structural models from which shop drawings and CAM files are created.
00:12
Once you have configured the settings for precast walls, slabs, and built-in parts,
00:18
the next step is to split walls and floors into precast panels.
00:23
To do this, you first need to define the settings for the mounting parts
00:27
—such as lifters, bushings, and anchor plates— and for the connections.
00:32
From the File ribbon, click Open > Project.
00:37
Navigate to the desired RVT file, and then open it.
00:41
From the Precast ribbon, in the Configuration panel, click Configuration.
00:47
In the Configuration dialog, from the tree view, select an element to be split.
00:54
Depending on the element chosen, there may be a Part branch, a Segmentation branch,
00:60
or both available to select and then define settings.
01:04
Also depending on the element chosen,
01:07
only certain mounting parts and connections will be available to configure within each branch.
01:12
When you are finished editing the parts and segmentation parameters, click OK.
01:17
From the Precast tab, Segmentation panel, click Split.
01:21
In the drawing, go to the correct level and select all the elements that you want to split.
01:27
Then in the Options Bar, click finish.
01:30
Note that if you select any floors, you are prompted to specify the slab type in the Floor Type drop-down.
01:36
Click OK to divide the selected elements into configurable panels for assemblies.
01:42
Lifters, bushings, and connections are created according to the rules previously set in the Configuration dialog.
01:50
You can use a 3D view to see the modifications.
