Import mappings

Add parameters to deliver to another disciplines’ Revit model.

All symbols that have been connected via Wall Requirement, Opening Requirement or Family Connection can be sent to the linked model.

Revit 2020-2021

From Category, choose between Fire Alarm Device, Generic Model or Space.

Categories sent from → to.

Fire Alarm device = Usually Doors, Windows, Panels and other categories

Generic Models = Walls, Roofs, Ramps and Floors

Space = Rooms

All parameters in the drop-down menu for Target Parameter, are all parameters from instances placed in the model.

Use the + or trashcan to add / remove parameter value to be sent to the architect.

Choose Door / Window if there are a FireReq_FireRatingDoor & FireReq_FireRatingWindow connected to one instance.

It is possible to remove parameters at any moment. The data will not be transfered after giving full control to the Engineer when to transfer data.

Revit 2022-

From Category, choose between Audio Visual Devices, Electrical Equipment, Fire Alarm Device, Fire Protection, Generic Model, Mechanical Equipment, Security Devices, Speciality Equipment or Space.

Will list a few pointers where the different requirements are in BFT templates.

Categories sent from → to.

Fire Protection = Used for Door, Window and Wall fire rating requirement.

Security Devices = Usually door requirement, e.g. Door fitting, type of lock, door magnets etc.

Fire Alarm Device = Used for emergency strategy, such as min clear width, door automation.

Space = Rooms

All parameters in the drop-down menu for Target Parameter, are all parameters from instances placed in the model.

Use the + or trashcan to add / remove parameter value to be sent to the architect.

Choose Door / Window if there are a FireReq_FireRatingDoor & FireReq_FireRatingWindow connected to one instance.

It is possible to remove parameters at any moment. The data will not be transfered after giving full control to the Engineer when to transfer data.

Note: If there are several symbols connected to an instance in the linked model,make sure that only one symbol has each parameter.The tool will during import push all values from all parameter, so if two symbols have the same parameterthe tool does not know which parameter should be imported.

Note: Before sending the model to the other stakeholders for import,try our QA workflow. This is part of the quality assurance workflow that should be in-place for each project.
