…and don’t get me started on the family name that was auto-generated…Īs a former BIM manager I have the same concerns! As a developer on Helix, I see opportunities to address these issues: Revit ArcViz Model Link If you wanted 100 cars for reference, you are potentially looking at a 500MB Revit file (you know those designers want every car to be unique). Now imagine a parking lot full of these cars. This particular Porsche model results in a 5MB revit family. I would be ok if these types of render assets were loaded into an ArcViz model that links in the main model, but when will designers take the time to do this right when a manager is standing over their shoulder waiting for a render? This sort of workflow has me equal parts terrified and curious at the same time.


Steve Bennett from Taylor-Design had some great criticisms for this workflow posted on LinkedIn, copied below:
