eTransmit for Revit

eTransmit for Revit is a technology preview of an add-in application for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012, Autodesk Revit Structure 2012, and Autodesk Revit MEP 2012 software.

For best results, installing Revit 2012 Web Update 1 is recommended.

With e Transmit for Revit, you can:

  • Copy and detach a Revit model and associated files to a single folder for internet transmission. This removes the typical error messages when you copy central files using the operating system.
  • Locate dependent files automatically and include them in the transmittal folder, reducing the possibility of error. All dependent files are automatically converted to use relative paths to ensure that the dependent files can be located by the model.
  • Choose to include related dependent files such as linked Revit models, CAD files, DWF markups, decal images, and external keynote files. You can transmit any Revit (.rvt) model that has been upgraded to Revit Release 2012.
  • Transmit models that are using file-based worksharing or server-based worksharing. eTransmit for Revit will also work with non-workshared Revit models.

Common uses for eTransmit


  • Internal archiving
  • Sending deliverables to clients
  • Model exchange between consultants/partners
  • Model cleanup
  • Sharing models between disciplines

    Revit Architecture Viewer 2012


    In 2012, the Revit Viewer 2012 is the Demo/Viewer option from previous releases, same functionality, just a different way to access it (you will still get into "Demo/viewer" mode if you are using network licensing but cannot pull a license).  This will have its own icon on the desktop.



    The all functions of Revit are available with viewer except below:
    • save or save as in all cases
    • exporting or publishing modified projects
    • exporting or publishing any projects to a format containing model data that can be modified
    • printing projects after changes are made

    Bentley AECO Sim

    Bentley announces an AECO Sim.

     The new AECOsim family of applications provides uniquely interdisciplinary building design, analysis, and simulation software focused on helping Architectural, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) practice leaders deliver high performance buildings. These applications enable architects and engineers to author and use rich information models to:
    • Predicatively design and optimize the performance of building systems and utilize information modeling within, and between, multiple disciplines using decision-support capabilities
    • Produce high-quality building and project documentation for use throughout the project lifecycle of design, construction, and operations
    • Extend the capabilities for users of commonly available design tools from Bentley, Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit, Graphisoft  Archicad, and others in an integrated workflow through open standards
    AECOsim Building Designer

    AECOsim Building Designer provides information-rich multidisciplinary models for use as the centerpiece of a building design workflow, as well as for the integration of design simulation, analysis, and documentation. This innovative Building Information Modeling (BIM) application empowers architects and structural, mechanical, and electrical engineers to:
    • create the most complex of buildings and constructions with unparalleled design freedom using comprehensive engineering tools in an immersive design environment,
    • simulate designs with direct links to analysis applications for interdisciplinary optimization,
    • produce photorealistic images and animations,
    • generate fully coordinated construction documentation for output as paper or dynamic PDF deliverables,
    • interact with drawings in their appropriate 3D context – hypermodels – navigating callout links to enhance and clarify the 3D model, which serves as a spatial index,
    • deliver hypermodels, for immersive review, to constructors and owners conveying the design team’s full and best work, and offering integrated-project benefits regardless of the project delivery method.

     AECOsim Energy Simulator 
     AECOsim Energy Simulator is a rigorous yet intuitive application for the design, simulation, and analysis of building mechanical systems, environmental conditions, and energy performance. Used in both design and retrofit work, the software contributes to better-performing, more-sustainable buildings that consume less energy; provide greater occupant productivity, comfort, and safety; and control lifecycle operational energy costs for their owners.
    AECOsim Energy Simulator allows designers to quickly assess design trade-offs in both new construction and retrofits. It is ideally suited to the needs of engineers, building energy consultants, and designers who determine building energy loads and explore building HVAC systems and design configuration options by simulating and analyzing building energy performance in workflows utilizing commonly available design tools from Bentley, Autodesk (including AutoCAD and Revit), Graphisoft Archicad, and others.

    Import a AutoCAD file to Revit

    While importing a AutoCAD in Revit some of a times we received a error message as shown below


    Aftertwards if you check out a impoted a in a Revit it shows you huge extent of impotred file.

    This issue you can't fix it with Revit.To fix it you need to go to your AutoCAD file.

    This error occurs becaue of 

    1. The insertion point of any of block is far away from a inserted location.

    2. The center point of a arc is a far away.

    3. X-clip binded block contains a objects which are not within a extents.

    The major cause of this error is a center point of Arch. In order to fix your drawing,you always start with a Arcs of a drawing.

    Before importing a file to CAD always check :

    1. Units of a drawing.

    To check units of a drawing go to for classic menu Format → Units. or for Ribbon / Application Menu go to  Application menu→Drawing Utilities→Units or use shortkey UN.

    The best way use keyboard shortkey.

    Your Revit and AutoCAD drawing units should be identical.

    2. Set a drwaing limits. To set drawing limits for classic menu go to Format→Drawing Limit or use shortkey LIMITS.

    3. On and Thaw all layers then zoom  a drawing to extents.It should show whole drawing fit to model space. If it is not visible properly then remove unwanted entities which are away from your drwaing.

    4.Purge and Audit a drawing.
