Features and Functionality
Vicinity GIS provides CAD Models that are geo-referenced to their respective NAD83 State Plane coordinate system, in the appropriate units (U.S. Survey feet or meters). These models are in "dwg" format, making them compatible with all Autodesk product categories. This universal format ensures seamless integration into your project design models.
One of the key features of Vicinity GIS is the ability to insert or x-reference CAD Models into your Revit projects. This allows you to focus on project-specific areas by x-clipping the models. The CAD Models contain polylines, text, and hatch entities, organized by Layer, Color, Line Weight, and Style. This structured approach makes it easy to isolate, select, and search for specific features using standard Autodesk AutoCAD commands like "Qselect" and "Find".
Additionally, each CAD Model includes Governmental Administrative divisions such as State, Province, County/Parish, and/or City. These divisions are separated by hatched areas, making them easily distinguishable and searchable. This level of detail enhances the usability and functionality of the CAD Models, allowing for seamless integration into your Revit projects.

Benefits for Revit Users
Revit users stand to benefit greatly from incorporating Vicinity GIS into their workflow. By leveraging real-world CAD Models, users can enhance the accuracy and precision of their designs. The geo-referenced features provide a level of detail that is essential for architectural, engineering, and construction projects.
Moreover, the ability to x-reference CAD Models into Revit projects streamlines the design process, allowing users to focus on specific areas of interest. The structured organization of features by Layer, Color, Line Weight, and Style simplifies the selection and manipulation of elements within the CAD Models. This level of control enhances the overall efficiency of design workflows.
Furthermore, the inclusion of Governmental Administrative divisions in the CAD Models adds another layer of information that can be leveraged in Revit projects. By easily identifying and searching for specific divisions, users can ensure that their designs adhere to relevant regulations and guidelines.
