Applies to: - Revit Architecture New Feature / Problem: I really miss this feature from 'that other' Autodesk application. The ability to have batten insulation shown, scaled and aligned in our walls.

Why do you need this Feature / Why is it a Problem: National standard/code requires this. Download software flexisign 8 5v1 cracked rar password. Almost each and every wall we create have batten insulation in them (Heat insulation and/or sound reduction) Workflow: When done modelling all the walls with batten insulations in them we´ll have to trace them with the Annotate > Insulation tool. (yawn) Benefits: Would ensure that the batten insulation follows the wall, when the wall moves or if the wall insulation layer thickness changes.

CAD Standards should use recognised hatching conventions. The compliant patterns on this page ensure that your company CAD.

Besides, it would save hours and hours of manual labor tracing and updating the traces on the walls. Attachment comments. Its a weird hybrid of modeled but flexible. You select an object, sketch rebar on a workplane (and rebar allows a section view to BE the workplane), and it basically forms a much more nimble Array: Not grouped, drag handles, stretchable, changeable, and lightweight.

Plus, IT EXISTS IN THE 3D MODEL Asking for Insulation to be a 'better pattern' isnt what we should be after. We should be looking for it to effortlessly become part of the model. Insulation is real, and it affects a LOT of things in Architecture.

I have one thing to say to this (and I have also always practised what I preach, unless someone is paying me for doing stupid, mindless, needless work): Screw national standards. Look at the legend, my insulation hatching is defined in there. The day I am voluntary spending my time drawing linework to match an ancient, outdated relic from hand-drafting time is the day I will have to find a new profession.

And for that matter: I have done a few hundred project projects in a country that adores his drawing standards and I have had 2 or 3 of them where the local authorities demanded to change my hatching to match drafting standards even after I explained that this was not possible in my software. Those buildings all still stand, and are built according to specifications.
