Far Process Summary
The intention of this blog is to provide you with an overview of the FAR Process and describe how your company can automate the creation of Revit Families as well as manage your library of Revit Families more efficiently and effectively utilizing the FAR Process.
The objectives of the FAR Process are:
The FAR Process is built from 3 main components:
The FAR Data Set is a text file that contains the product data and instructions for the FAR Manager.
The FAR Manager uses the FAR Data Set to create a Revit Family within Revit. The FAR Manager also includes a Content Manager interface which allows the user to manage their families within their own file system
We have 4 short video segments on YouTube demonstrating the capabilities of the FAR Manager; BIM Manager Utility Tool and the ability to create a Revit Family from an Inventor file.
Click on the following links to see the YouTube video clips:
1.) FAR Manager Search capabilities
2.) FAR Manager - Importing Types capabilities
3.) BIM Manager Utility Tool capabilities
4.) creating a Revit Family from an Inventor file
Contact us to discuss how you can begin automating Revit Families for your company with the FAR Process.
The objectives of the FAR Process are:
- To create a Revit Family automatically that is usable, maintainable and sustainable throughout the life of the building project.
- To create a tool for Manufacturers to manage/control their product data for Architects using the BIM format without being dependent upon an outside provider to create and maintain their Revit families.
- To create an automated Revit Family created that includes product data provided directly from the Manufacturer and is ready to be downloaded into BIM projects.
Overview of the FAR Process:
The FAR Process is built from 3 main components:1. FAR Creator
2. FAR Data Set
3. FAR Manager
The FAR Creator is not just one application. It is a set of API's that will be built for each Manufacturer based on their software and their industry. The FAR Creator takes the product data provided by the Manufacturer to create the FAR Data Set required for the FAR Process.
- Each Manufacturer will be able to use their own set of API's to create the FAR Data Set necessary for automating the creation of their own Revit families, from their own manufacturing data using the FAR Process for custom and future product developments.
- The FAR Creator allows the Manufacturer to have the ability for updating architect data automatically when changes are made to the engineering data.
The FAR Data Set is a text file that contains the product data and instructions for the FAR Manager.
The FAR Manager uses the FAR Data Set to create a Revit Family within Revit. The FAR Manager also includes a Content Manager interface which allows the user to manage their families within their own file system
