Autodesk Technology Preview - People Flow Toolkit

Autodesk has a Technology Preview, which is said to extend the path of travel tool and works with Revit 2020.2 and newer. I have not had a chance to try it yet, but have plenty of info for you to dig in and get started if this is of interest to you.

These are the four new tools, on the Ribbon within Revit:
  • Multiple Paths: tool automates the creation of paths between two or more points. Use this tool to identify your options in calculating the best path between two points.  

  • One-way Indicator: A family to represent the direction of travel that is factored into the path of travel calculation​s. Use this tool to factor one-way directional flows into your circulation plans. 

  • People Content: Use the People Content Tool to derive paths of travel that account for physical distancing standards along the route. This family restricts is used to indicate occupancy. Use this tool to place buffers and obstacles to be factored into the path of travel analysis.​ 

  • Spatial Grid: Use this room based grid overlay for visually indicating social distancing parameters with snap-to functionality. Quickly layout objects in a room at a proscribed distance.
