PCL PartsLab ®

Introduction

If you are a construction professional who manages Autodesk® Revit® construction models, you know the importance of efficient workflows and leveraging design model geometry. That's where PCL PartsLab® comes in. This free Revit plugin revolutionizes the concrete construction model workflow by automating the creation, visualization, and change management of Revit Parts. With PCL PartsLab®, you can drastically reduce time and clicks, creating thousands of Parts instantly and effortlessly.

Streamlined Workflow

PCL PartsLab® offers a range of feature highlights that enhance your experience with Revit models. It allows you to browse linked model categories, families, and types from the aggregated construction model, offering a comprehensive view of the project. You can filter the content based on the level you are working on, making it easier to navigate and manage large models.

Creating Revit Parts is a breeze with PCL PartsLab®. You can automatically generate native Revit Parts from targeted categories, families, and types, saving you countless hours of manual work. The plugin also intelligently associates the level of Parts from linked-model objects, ensuring accurate placement and alignment.

Visualization Tools

PCL PartsLab® provides context-sensitive visualization tools that assist in quick hiding and isolation. You can easily hide or isolate Parts based on their original categories, families, and types, allowing you to focus on specific elements of the construction model. This feature enhances collaboration and helps identify design issues more efficiently.

In addition, the isolation tools in PCL PartsLab® unveil any overlapping Parts in your model, providing a clear view of potential design issues. By identifying and resolving these issues early on, you can prevent costly rework later in the construction process.

History View and Division Tools

Keeping track of design updates is essential, and PCL PartsLab® offers a managed history view that helps you monitor the creation of Parts during each design update. This feature ensures that you have a complete record of the changes made, making it easier to review and verify the model's accuracy.

The division tools in PCL PartsLab® are a game-changer for construction professionals. With just a few clicks, you can quickly divide Parts by levels or saved styles, streamlining the process and improving productivity. This feature is especially useful for large-scale projects with complex designs.

Improved Documentation Process

Revit Parts are a valuable asset in the construction documentation process, particularly when modifications to host objects are required. PCL PartsLab® enables you to create Parts from walls, floors, and other objects without modifying the host objects in the linked models. This functionality allows for accurate take-offs, dimensioning, and the inclusion of host families like embeds and blockouts.

By using PCL PartsLab® as part of your workflow, you can prevent documentation rework after design model updates, specifically changes within linked design models. This saves time, reduces errors, and ensures that your construction documentation is always up to date.

Conclusion

PCL PartsLab® is an essential tool for any construction professional working with Autodesk® Revit®. Its ability to automate the creation, visualization, and change management of Revit Parts revolutionizes the concrete construction model workflow. With its intuitive features, including browsing linked model categories, creating native Revit Parts, and providing context-sensitive visualization tools, PCL PartsLab® significantly improves efficiency and productivity.

By using PCL PartsLab®, you can streamline your workflow, reduce manual work, and eliminate potential design issues.
