Over Revit Standards

The Revit Standards provide a framework for naming Revit components and materials. This follows a structured format with elements such as identification, classification code, and description. This ensures components can be consistently identified, shared, located, and applied efficiently.

The Revit Standards use subcategories to control line style, weight, and colour consistently. A defined set of generic subcategories is available, such as zones for usage, placement, connection, and maintenance. This ensures a consistent graphical representation across all models.

The Revit Standards include a set of standard shared parameters, maintained in a central parameter file. These parameters can be directly applied within Revit to ensure uniform, reliable, and structured data management in every project.

The Revit Standards are designed to support mapping to other open BIM standards. The focus is on IFC as the exchange format, with alignment to NL-SfB, CB-NL, and ETIM (MC), as well as methodologies such as BIM Basis ILS and the RVB BIM standard.

The Revit Standards set guidelines for the insertion point, host, and orientation of components. These are based on practical placement methods, ensuring objects behave consistently and remain correctly linked to their host. This reduces errors and prevents data loss.

The Revit Standards are fully documented. With a basic template, the standard can be implemented immediately. Users can align their company standards with the Revit Standards, using the RS, BERS, or NLRS as a starting point.
