PCL PartsLab ®

Introduction

If you manage construction models in Autodesk® Revit®, you know how important it is to leverage design model geometry efficiently. That's where PCL PartsLab® comes in. This powerful Revit plugin is designed to automate the creation, visualization, and change management of Revit Parts, making your concrete construction model workflow seamless and efficient. With its feature-rich tools, PCL PartsLab® can drastically reduce the time and clicks required to work with design model geometry, revolutionizing the way you work with construction models in Revit.

Streamline Model Browsing and Filtering

PCL PartsLab® offers an intuitive model browser that allows you to easily browse linked model categories, families, and types from the aggregated construction model. This feature is immensely helpful when working with large and complex construction projects. But browsing alone isn't enough – PCL PartsLab® takes it a step further by allowing you to filter the content based on specific levels, enabling you to focus on the elements that matter most to your current task.

Create Thousands of Native Revit Parts with Ease

One of the standout features of PCL PartsLab® is its ability to automatically create thousands of native Revit Parts from targeted categories, families, and types. This automation saves you a significant amount of time and effort, eliminating the need for manual creation and duplication of Parts. Whether you're dealing with foundations, floor slabs, walls, concrete columns, concrete beams, or structural steel, PCL PartsLab® ensures that the Parts are created accurately and efficiently.

Visualize, Manage, and Review Parts Seamlessly

PCL PartsLab® provides powerful visualization tools that make it easy to hide, isolate, and review Parts within your Revit model. Context-sensitive visualization tools allow you to quickly hide or isolate Parts based on their original categories, families, or types. This helps in enhancing productivity and streamlining the design review process. Additionally, the isolation tools help identify design issues by showing overlapping Parts, allowing you to address them promptly and effectively.

Efficient Division and Change Management

In construction documentation, the ability to divide Parts into pours and manage changes efficiently is crucial. PCL PartsLab® offers division tools that allow you to quickly divide Parts by levels or saved styles. This feature simplifies the process of creating accurate take-offs and dimensioning, while also ensuring that host families like embeds and blockouts are properly accounted for. Furthermore, PCL PartsLab® creates and manages a 3D history view of all Parts created, providing you with a comprehensive record of the design updates made during the construction model workflow.

Investigate Linked Model Content and Copy Definitions

PCL PartsLab® serves as an invaluable investigative tool for linked model content. It allows you to browse and filter linked model categories, families, and types, giving you insights into the objects present in the linked models. This feature aids in identifying discrepancies and maintaining consistency across the entire project. Additionally, PCL PartsLab® enables you to copy selected family/type definitions from linked models into your current model, further streamlining your workflow and ensuring accuracy in your project.

Conclusion

PCL PartsLab® is a game-changer for anyone working with construction models in Autodesk® Revit®. Its powerful automation, visualization, and change management tools significantly improve your concrete construction model workflow. From browsing and filtering to creating thousands of native Revit Parts, PCL PartsLab® offers a seamless experience that enhances productivity and efficiency. With its ability to investigate linked model content and copy definitions, PCL PartsLab® ensures accuracy and consistency throughout your project.
