Focus RAT Basis
With Focus RAT, you get access to tools that save time, simplify repetitive tasks and raise the quality of your projects. You get professional templates, efficient PDF export and our well-known SOSI import and export. You can also work more clearly with TFM, NS 3459 and MMI codes in projects where the client requires them.
You get tools that save time, simplify repetitive tasks and raise the quality of your projects, with support for SOSI, SOSI GML, KOF and LandXML, and the ability to work with NS 3450, NS 3451, NS 3420 and process codes directly in the Revit model.
The base version can easily be expanded with modules for Architecture, Structural Engineering, Fire Documentation, Rehabilitation, Geomatics and Landscape – so you get a solution that fits your needs. Focus RAT Basis is the core module in the Focus RAT packages, and is a prerequisite for all the add-on modules.
One tool for several disciplines
Focus RAT includes a range of time-saving functions such as renumbering, smart parameter handling, advanced filters, SOSI, SOSI GML, KOF and LandXML, Excel tables, NS 8360, TFM, MMI and smart generation of drawing sheets for the entire project.
Focus RAT includes an extensive cloud library of nearly 2,000 parametric objects. The program has its own library explorer for managing, sorting, searching and filtering Revit objects/families, where you can also mark the objects you use most often as favorites so they are easy to access.
Focus RAT extends Revit with advanced PDF export, so you can create drawing sets with multiple drawings in different sheet sizes. The setup can be saved for later use, and drawing sets can be exported to both PDF and DWG at the same time.
Import SOSI files into Revit, as well as KOF files, LandXML and tables from CSV and Excel.
You can also export to KOF, CSV, Excel and PDF, with more options than in Revit. For example, you can merge identical sheet sizes and print many different sizes in a single operation.
Startermap is a new feature in Focus RAT that gives you fast, seamless access to SOSI map data directly in Focus RAT, with no manual downloading, file handling or interruptions to your workflow. Select, buy and import map data in a single step, and get started on your design quickly.
Creates a ready-made drawing sheet based on your selection and a custom template.
Updates multiple drawing sheets based on changes made to one sheet. For example, if you want to add, remove or move one or more views.
Creates 3D views aligned to a plan or a selected element. Can automatically assign a view template.
Duplicates a schedule based on selected filters, so that smaller schedules can be placed on sheets.
Show or hide elements in one or more views with a single button.
Clean Revit files before delivery. The function makes it easy to remove elements that should not be included in an export to other parties.
Work with NS 3450, NS 3451, NS 3420 and process codes directly in the Revit model, together with NS 8360, TFM and MMI.
