Technology preview: Staggeringly fast Revit processing with Excitech DOCS

At Excitech we are continuously developing technologies to automate tasks that are: labour intensive, prone to human error, or simply just too slow. 

You may have seen some of the automation that we have achieved with our document and drawing management software Excitech DOCS which involves automatically naming documents and drawing in accordance with ISO 19650 file naming standards, the creation of transmittals with all relevant information in just a matter of minutes, and uploading documents to a variety of extranet services with their metadata and connection details for each project to name a few.

In order to further speed up the workflows of architects and engineers, we have developed a method within our document and drawing management software Excitech DOCS that allows us to modify and re-publish a sheet in seconds. 

Historically, Revit can take a significant time to process sheets and while you can use automation tools to schedule the tasks, you still have to wait for Revit to get the job done. With this new tool, you won’t have to go into Revit to update the drawings; it will be updated from directly within Excitech DOCS, and within a matter of seconds. 

For instance, let’s say you have a drawing that has the suitability code “S0 – Work In Progress (WIP), but you need to push it through the ISO 19650 workflow as it is now suitable for coordination, all you need to do is select “shared” for the CDE status and then select the code “S1 – Suitable for Coordination”, and then preview the PDF drawing and see the updates. 

Watch the short preview below to see it in action.
