CODE TOOLS

BIM Management. EvolveLAB 2020 - present

The Code Tools are a collection of Revit workflows and content that leverage various BIM features to assist architects in calculating and documenting Occupancy Load, Number of Occupants, and other IBC information.

These tools are rely solely on OOTB Revit features, utilizing shared parameters and formulas to covert a small number of inputs into information the architects can integrate into their Code Plans. The tools also feature a user-friendly interface, schedules, and customized tags, allowing architects to interact and document their project with ease.

In this project, I was responsible to redesign the previous code tools version to simplify user interaction and ensure seamless data flow, eliminating the need for Dynamo Graphs or plug-ins. This involved implementing Shared Parameters, creating formulas, and redesigning schedules, tags, and documentation. Additionally, I served as the main speaker for the Data-Driven Occupancy Load Workflow Using Revit class at Autodesk University 2022, where this project was featured.
