ARCHIBUS Smart Client Extension for Revit

Working with Commands - Overview

The following topics describe the ARCHIBUS Commands that you use to connect your Revit model data to the ARCHIBUS project database, to update and synchronize your data

Frequently-Used Commands:

Set Model-Properties - Associates a particular Revit level with an ARCHIBUS Building and Floor Code. You can associate more than one Revit model or level to the same building and floor, as may be necessary for modeling very large floor plans.
Finding Assets - These commands enable you to locate assets in drawings when working in the Smart Client grid, or to find assets in a Smart Client grid view when working from the Smart Client Extension for Revit.
Working with Asset Data - The Asset commands enable you to efficiently update database records while working on a Revit building model, so that the most current data is available for enterprise reporting.
Catalog - The Catalog command provides a quick method for creating and updating an inventory based on model changes.
Uncatalog Command - Use the Uncatalog command to resolve conditions such as duplicately-linked assets.
Publish Enterprise Graphics - This command publishes all assets as well as the architectural background graphics for the current Revit level
Web Query Command- Generates a Web Central view about the selected asset into Revit from the ARCHIBUS database

Mapping and Synchronization:

Disable/Enable Dynamic Updates - Disable dynamic updates to speed your work when making bulk changes to a model.Enable dynamic updates once you have completed bulk updates.
Resolving Synchronization Issues - When you work in the Smart Client without Revit open, or work in Revit without the Smart Client open, synchronization issues can occur. Use these commands to resolve these issues.
Map Database Fields - Map any Revit parameter to an ARCHIBUS field.
Saved Shared Parameters - Although this file is automatically created, you can use this command to write a separate shared-parameters file appropriate for each language with mappings in the ARCHIBUS BIM Parameters table (afm_bim_params).
