Graitec Powerpack addin for Revit
Overview
The GRAITEC PowerPack provides a broad suite of unique commands and functionality to significantly increase productivity when working with Autodesk® Revit®.
These practical, every-day utilities focus on speeding up modeling, simplifying family management, documentation and enhanced external data-links for a dramatically improved BIM workflow.
Flexible and multidisciplinary, GRAITEC PowerPack creates a significant added value for all experts involved in BIM Project (BIM Manager, BIM Modeller, BIM Coordinator, Architect, Structural engineer, Designer, or MEP engineer).
Productivity and BIM
PowerPack for Revit introduces tools for automating tasks such as numbering any Revit objects, upgrade Revit files, automatically join connections on all intersections within a model, create dimension lines, or Export Revit views in several formats (PDF, NWC, IFC, DWG…). In addition, PowerPack for Revit proposes some features to enable external data-links such as a bidirectional link to Excel.
Besides a range of multidisciplinary tools, PowerPack for Revit offering a large set of commands for Rebar detailing to accelerate rebars drawing creation. Some other unique features will enable you to directly design structural components (walls, beams, columns, footing, or slabs) thanks to external FEM results load in Revit.
