Northing and Easting Parameters

Introduction

Revit is a powerful tool for building information modeling, but sometimes it lacks certain functionalities that are essential for specific disciplines within the construction industry. One such limitation is the inability to schedule the spot coordinates or Northing and Easting values of components, especially for Public Health Engineering (PHE) equipment such as Manholes and Inspection Chambers on large sites. Fortunately, there is a solution - the Northing and Easting Parameters plugin for Revit.

Features and Benefits

The Northing and Easting Parameters plugin is an Autodesk Revit Add-in that addresses the need for scheduling the coordinates of PHE equipment. By adding Northing and Easting values to families belonging to the 'Site' category as shared parameters, this tool enhances the functionality of Revit for PHE engineers. These shared parameters can be easily scheduled and tagged, allowing for better organization and documentation of project information.

How It Works

With the Northing and Easting Parameters plugin, users can easily incorporate Northing and Easting values into their PHE equipment families. The plugin includes a shared parameter file in the Resources folder, which serves as a guide for creating the necessary parameters. By following the workflow outlined in the accompanying YouTube video, users can seamlessly integrate Northing and Easting values into their Revit projects.

Conclusion

The Northing and Easting Parameters plugin for Revit is a valuable tool for PHE engineers who need to schedule the coordinates of their equipment. By adding this functionality to Revit, the plugin streamlines the documentation process and enhances the overall efficiency of PHE projects. Whether you are working on a large site with complex PHE equipment or simply looking to improve the accuracy of your project documentation, the Northing and Easting Parameters plugin is a must-have addition to your Revit toolkit.
