Many operations that require real-world coordinates still rely on targets, brass caps and nails. These operations mostly work with civil applications, but for applications for the AEC world, the use of targets has fallen due to recent progressions in modern laser scanners such as the Leica RTC360. However, there are still some scenarios where deploying a target is what you need to navigate a tricky registration, giving you that warm fuzzy feeling knowing that everything is linked correctly.

Evaluate System Families in a Revit Project Template

Over the past few years, ATG has been contracted to review dozens of Revit templates for our customers. From this experience, we developed a comprehensive approach and strategy on how we review that content.

You can check out the whitepaper I wrote, Evaluate Your Revit Project Template, for full documentation of our template assessment process. This whitepaper allows users with the knowledge and time to perform their own internal template evaluation. From this process, you can scope and even phase the work that needs to be completed, which can either be completed as an assigned internal project or contracted to outside professionals like ATG.

In this blog, we’ll cover a portion of this whitepaper – evaluating system families.
