![]() ![]() While the name might suggest a loose association with Revit, the software actually works with a huge range of CAD/ BIM tools, focused on buildings and infrastructure. It used to be ‘BIM collaboration’ or ‘BIM co-ordination’ but it’s now being pitched as an integrated collaboration platform. This is reflected in how the product is marketed. Customers now include Atkins, AECOM, Arup, Balfour Beatty, Foster & Partners, Jacobs, Lendlease, Skanska, Vinci, Willmott Dixon and many more. ![]() When Revizto started out, most of its customers were on the design side, but in the last few years there’s been a big uptake in construction. With a cloud or local server-centric workflow, data is pushed out to a variety of devices, including desktop (Windows and MacOS) and tablet (iOS and Android) so issues can be resolved in the office and on site. The software combines 2D and 3D models for a ‘single source of truth’ presented through a simple user interface that can be accessed by anybody on the project team. In a crowd of AEC collaboration software, Revizto stands out for its sharp focus on issue tracking. For example, components with identical properties can now be found in a single click Some of these plugins are easier as you draw a flightpath on a specially named layer, and the plugin code moves the camera along the path, rather that you setting up hundreds of scene pages.Revizto now makes it much easier to use object data to your advantage. So for the fancy features, some kind of extension (plugin) that use Ruby to fly the camera, and stop and rotate doors will be needed. So a DC door component would have a behavior attribute with a formula like: “onClick(Animate(…))” so that the door swings open when the user clicks it with the DCInteractTool.īuilt-in plain-Jane scene animations, cannot stop and “click” DCs. (They are actually just a component with a special named attribute dictionary, that has specially named attributes and attributes that are formula.) You can code dynamic components in Ruby, but the nifty dialog wizard to create them, is a Pro Only feature. (It looks like a browser’s hand cursor clicking a link.) The Dynamic Components functionality is actually an extension, but it is distributed with all editions of SketchUp. I need to portray a succession of doors openingĪt this time, built-in component animation, can only be triggered by the DC Interact tool. The model itself is the same in every scene however, parts of it are visible in some scenes but not others. By turning the visibility of each door instance on and then off in sequence through a series of scenes (typically using layer visibility), you can create the illusion of motion, like some old-time stop action animation, but at the expense of adding a bunch of extra geometry to the underlying model. The only way to cause the door to appear to swing open or shut is to superimpose a series of instances of the door component, with each instance shown at a point along the swing arc. The scene simply provides a “filter” through which to view the model using some set of display attributes, including point of view, visibility of certain layers, lighting, shadows, etc. As for the model–it’s the same model in every scene if you open the door a crack in Scene 1, it’s open a crack in all scenes. SU scene animation is not intended to cause models to “move,” but rather to cause the camera to move through the model. ![]()
