Robohub flow

  1. Go to https://robohub.thorbiq.io/ to sign up and sign in on the platform. Download and install the Revit plugin. Sign in in Revit


  2. Via the “System Selector” you can select and load the needed elements into you project and start modelling in Revit:
    1. Walls
    2. Floors
    3. Roofs

       
  3. Via the “Window & Door Selector” you can select and load needed window and doors into your project:
    1. Door
    2. Window
      1. Position the windowframe in the wall with the instance parameter “BERSnl_C_montage_diepte
      2. Change the finish layer thickness in case of the type ‘met verlengd L-ijzer’ with the type parameter “BMP_V Buitenafwerking_dikte”
    3. Screen
      1. Position the windowframe in the wall with the instance parameter “BERSnl_C_montage_diepte

         
  4. Via the “Detail Selector” you can select and load construction details to enrich your model
    Currently these are available for all “DETAIL RAAM” results.
    1. Create a ‘Callout’ via ‘View’ – ‘Callout’ and set the property ‘Reference Other View’
    2. You can place de Detail Item in the drafting view (or any other view)

  5. Using the Robohub plugin
    1. You can divide a model into parts with the ‘Divide Walls’ tool.
    2. First step is to select all the walls in the model which you want to create parts for.
    3. Second step is to select all the Reference Planes which you would like to use to divide the wall. If no Reference Planes are selected these will be added automatically on the positions where it is needed.
    4. In the next step Reference planes will be added where needed to indicate where a split of the parts will be created.
      1. If a wall is longer then 8m, an extra split line will be added in the middle of the wall. If you want to move the location of the split you need to exist the function and move the Reference Plane.
      2. In corners a Reference plane will be added to shown the direction of the split. If you want to split the corner in a different direction you need to exist the function and modify the 'Wall joint'.

        The ‘Wall joins’ function can be found under ‘Modify’ – ‘Wall Joins’. After clicking the button a user should click on a wall corner to set the Configuration to ‘Square off’. With ‘Next’ button you can define the direction of the join.
      3. No Reference Planes will be added for corners <90° or >90°. There corner will always be mitred.


    5. As a next step the ‘Gap’ can be set for the dilation joints.
       The walls will then be divided and parts will be created.
    6. To show parts the view settings should be set accordingly.
  6. Notes:
    1. It can be that as well the inner finish as outer finish will be cut. In Revit2021 API doesn't support easily choosing the internal/exterrnal finish layer. This is supported in Revit2022. So in future this can be optimized.
    2. In corners a user should update the 'Wall joints' and not the Reference plane.
    3. For corners that >90°, <90° and inner wall corners the gap is created by using the 'Shape handles' of the part (external finish). The is by default not checked on. If you would like to edit this you can turn it on by selecting the part and check "Show Shape Handles" on
