ThorbiQ

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. When using the tool a user will be informed to check the ‘Wall joins’ definitions. It 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. When using the ‘Divide Walls’ tool a user should first select all the walls to divide.
      After the first selection a user can select a ‘Grid’ as dividing line if desired.
      There is also a default length to split walls that are > 8m.
      This value is set in the type parameter ‘max wall length’ of the wall.
      As a next step the ‘Gap’ can be set for the dilation joints.
       The walls will then be divided and parts will be created.
   4. To show parts the view settings should be set accordingly.
6. Notes:
   1. If max wall length is exceeded, it will be be cut at the max length of 8m at the moment. If a different position is desired a user can use a Grid to choose where the cut should be.
   2. 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.
