Focus RAT Bygg

This module builds on Focus RAT Basis and extends it with functionality tailored to the daily workflow of structural projects, with a particular focus on concrete and reinforcement.

Reinforcement documentation is at the heart of it. You can place several area reinforcement systems at once with the correct symbols and tags, find concrete elements that are missing reinforcement, look up reinforcement with a specific position number, and control layer display so you can see the reinforcement across elements. Position numbers are assigned automatically according to the numbering rules you define, position numbers can be locked and unlocked, and a dedicated position number check uncovers inconsistencies in reinforcement marking and numbering.

Documentation is generated from the model rather than built up manually. Bar bending schedules are generated from the 3D reinforcement model, with templates you can customize to get the output format you want, and with BVBS export (a machine-readable format for bending machines). 2D reinforcement drawings are generated from the 3D Revit model, and the 2D symbols keep their link to the information in the underlying 3D model – change the model, and the symbols follow.

You also get general tools for quickly generating cross sections and longitudinal sections, where you control the names and view templates. The detailing tools let you place 2D reinforcement symbols and tags, update details automatically when the underlying reinforcement changes, and create scaled details with flexible dimensioning.
