hsbCLT for Autodesk® Revit®

Introduction

hsbCLT for Autodesk® Revit® is a powerful plugin that seamlessly integrates with native Revit® objects, enabling a smooth transition from architectural design to fabrication. This plugin enhances the hsbDesign platform, providing detailed cross-laminated timber (CLT) project capabilities. With its comprehensive toolset and intelligent features, hsbCLT empowers designers and fabricators to streamline the design and production process in CLT construction.

Unleashing the Potential of CLT

hsbCLT offers a remarkable flexibility to define detailed panel styles, varying surface qualities, and predefined grain directions aligned to spans of panels. This allows for a seamless connection between walls, floors, and roofs in CLT construction. The plugin even enables the automatic detailing of windows and doors within defined wall openings, perfectly aligned with manufacturing criteria.

One of the standout features of hsbCLT is its support for standard connections such as lap joints and joint boards. These connections are easily adaptable and are backed by industry-leading practices. The plugin also allows for customizable electrical installations and HVAC configurations, ensuring that every aspect of the design meets specific project requirements.

A Smarter Model, Enhanced Outputs

hsbCLT takes advantage of the intelligence of native Revit® elements, making your models even smarter. The plugin seamlessly integrates with the latest production methods, ensuring that your design possibilities are limitless. Complementary tools provided by hsbcad further extend the capabilities of BIM, resulting in a comprehensive and efficient workflow.

With hsbCLT, the creation of customized panel distribution for floors, walls, and roofs becomes a breeze. The plugin utilizes native edges, surfaces, and built-in elements to intelligently position numbers on the components. Grain direction and surface quality are easily defined through integrated extended families, providing designers with complete control over the CLT project.

The finalized outputs from hsbCLT include detailed BIM production documents, such as automated dimensioned layouts, material lists, and site assembly documents. These documents are compatible with industry standards and can be seamlessly integrated into the construction process. The plugin also supports customizable basic shop drawings, ensuring accurate fabrication and assembly.

Streamlined Workflow and Collaboration

hsbCLT offers a seamless workflow between Revit® and Autodesk® AutoCAD® Architecture through its data exchange capabilities. This allows for efficient collaboration and ensures that all design information is accurately shared between different software platforms. Additionally, hsbCLT integrates with hsbShare, the hsbcad cloud collaboration platform, further enhancing teamwork and communication throughout the entire project.
