My Revizto Webinar Recording

Quick post today... to provide a review and link to the recorded Revizto Webinar I did yesterday.

Webinar: Using Revizto for collaboration and client engagement at LHB (45 minutes)

Here are a few highlights, mostly in images, on what I covered...

I started in Revit, talking about some things we can do to prepare for the export to Revizto. For example, creating an export view and some cropped views. The export view has detail level set to Fine and all the categories visible.

Before a client meeting, there is some additional setup we can do in Revizto as well. Such as creating a Home view and even baking the lights and shadows for a better aesthetic and more efficient navigation.


Here is a separate short video I created on lighting controls: Revizto Lights (43 seconds).

For a client meeting, we can use the Issue tracker and a unique Tag in Revizto, to create presentation slides. Starting with a slide to make sure we hit all our talking points and then click the 3D icon on the left to explore the model dynamically (using a 3D Connexion mouse is my preference).


Another example... don't forget to talk to the client about the various options to support the ledge below the sign.

If the client has a comment you need to capture, use the Issue Tracker and a unique Tag for the meeting. Seeing you record a comment in the context of the design may be more comforting to the client than you scribbling in a notebook. FYI: You can add comments in 3D views and on 2D sheets.

We can quickly hide elements; in this example, maybe we want to see what's on the wall behind the copier.

Behind the copier, we see power and data... the client is happy and now more confident with our work effort! Here, we can also see all the properties from the Revit model for the selected element.

Revizto has some nice filters to quickly expose just the Mech, Elec and/or Struct elements within the model. As shown in the image below, we can color code things by category or by linked Revit models. Thus, we can quickly respond to the "where does that duct go" question during the meeting.

I also showed an example of overlaying a 2D detail on the 3D model, which I wrote about previously: Revizto; Live Sections from Sheets.

I hope you enjoy the presentation!
