Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention, and those of ordinary skill in the art can obtain other drawings without creative efforts based on these drawings.

[0022] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of the method for deepening the new electromechanical system based on Revit provided by the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The following further describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings. It should be noted here that the description of these embodiments is for helping to understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0024] The present invention is a method for deepening the new mechanical and electrical system based on Revit. This method mainly includes the following steps: formulating system naming specifications, batch creating mechanical and electrical systems, overall creation and setting of system filters, and single-specialty export of system models.

[0025] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , a method for deepening the new mechanical and electrical system based on Revit, which includes the following implementation steps:

[0026] Step 1: Standardize the naming rules of each part of the information

[0027] AS_system name: Represents the pipeline system.

[0028] AN_system name: Represents the air duct system.

[0029] AC_EL_system name: Represents the trough-type strong electricity system of cable trays (the component and system names are the same).

[0030] AC_ELV_system name: Represents the trough-type weak electricity system of cable trays (the component and system names are the same).

[0031] AT_EL_system name: Represents the ladder-type strong electricity system of cable trays (the component and system names are the same).

[0032] AT_ELV_system name: Represents the ladder-type weak electricity system of cable trays (the component and system names are the same).

[0033] Specification of material names: The same as the system name.

[0034] Specification of filter names: The same as the system name, and the rule is all equal.

[0035] Step 2: Standardize the system copy types

[0036] By standardizing the copy types, when using the system creation tool later, it can quickly locate which original template system to create and name from. For example Figure 1 ;

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] Step 3: Batch create mechanical and electrical systems according to the naming specifications

[0040] To save time and facilitate the use by in-depth personnel, a batch creation system tool has been developed according to the specifications in Step 1 and Step 2. The batch creation system tool provides a basic Excel spreadsheet, which contains the system type, system abbreviation, system prefix, line color, and fill color for each specialty. The batch creation system tool will read the data in the local Excel spreadsheet and convert it into the UI interface data designed by WPF. Secondly, the batch creation system tool will perform a secondary conversion on the UI interface data to become Revit data for creating mechanical and electrical specialty systems. The system type in the UI interface of the batch creation system tool is used to specify the file path of the Excel spreadsheet; the system type is used to specify the name of the mechanical and electrical system to be created; the system abbreviation and system prefix are used to change the abbreviation and description attributes of the mechanical and electrical system identification data; the line color is used to change the color attribute data in the graphic replacement; the fill color is used to change the fill color data in the image replacement. After the fill color data is read by the Revit material system first, when the material system reads the corresponding color data, it will create a material sphere and appearance attributes named after the system type in the material system. The shading color, foreground color, and background color of the material sphere will be automatically changed according to the RGB color value of the fill color, and the same applies to the regular color of the appearance attributes.

[0041] Step 4: Create a single mechanical and electrical system according to the naming specification

[0042] Different from the batch creation system tool, the line color and fill color of the single system creation tool are set through the Windows Color Dialog and finally applied to the Revit mechanical and electrical system.

[0043] Step 5: Batch system conversion that does not conform to the naming specification.

[0044] Using the system conversion tool will perform data conversion on each specialty system in the original system Revit file, and convert the parts of the data that do not conform to the naming specification in "Step 1" into data that conforms to the naming specification. For projects that want to use the new process, it can achieve rapid conversion and save a large amount of time cost for manual modification.

[0045] Step 6: Quickly create filters.

[0046] Using the create filter tool to activate the current view, the tool will automatically collect the element systems that have been created in the view and conform to the naming specification in "Step 1". After the collection is completed, it will create a filter according to the system name, set the rule to "equal", and add it to the total filter.

[0047] Step 7: Use the filter tool to quickly generate drawings.

[0048] Select the view to which the filter is to be added. The tool will collect the professional system filters in the view that conform to the naming specification of "Step 1", then extract the names and compare them with the total filters, and add the displayed systems to the current view filter. At the same time, the development tool can be used to perform operations such as batch display / closure / deletion on the filters that conform to the naming specification.

[0049] Step 8: Quickly export the FBX model for animation production.

[0050] Through the export tool, use the filters in the view to batch export the model according to the specialty.

[0051] When creating the water supply and drainage, heating, ventilation, and electrical systems in Revit, it involves a large amount of work, a cumbersome process, and a long time-consuming. During the process of creating the systems, it involves data interaction of Revit's material system, project browser, and changes in family file parameters. The traditional method requires BIM detailed design personnel to manually attach the data. This method automatically attaches the data across modules through C# programming, saving time for the detailed design personnel. At the same time, according to the naming standard of the unit for the Revit system, the third-party Revit files can be transformed into files that conform to the unit's standard in terms of systems, materials, and parameters, facilitating the unit to consult the third-party models.

[0052] Furthermore, when using the developed tool for Revit mechanical and electrical detailed design, the efficiency is greatly improved. The MVVM mode is used in the development process of the tool. The front-end interface is used for data display, and the back-end code processes the data. When creating the mechanical and electrical system template, it usually takes about 3 - 4 hours and the process is cumbersome, and it is easy to have missing data filling. When using the tool, it only takes a few seconds to modify it all, saving a lot of time and improving the work efficiency of technical personnel. At the same time, it also makes the work easier and the detailed design accuracy higher.

[0053] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0054] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present invention.

[0055] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0056] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to these embodiments still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
