STEP 1: DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL Navigate to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Fabrication 2021\SDK\Samples\CSharp. Right click the FabricationSample folder and select Copy.

Recently a collogue and I were brainstorming a simple CAM script to remove Stiffeners for all Items with a Dimension named “Length”, who’s value is under 30″… (This is obviously not an all-encompassing solution. What if the Fabrication Part in question is 100″ wide? We may want Stiffeners here!) However, in many cases we spend […]

A Rose by any other Number would smell as sweet… Sorry Shakespeare, this is a Software Blog. Whether we are talking about Ductwork, Piping, or Walls, Doors and Windows, the “Item Number” is arguably one of the most important bits of information we can find in a Model. It’s how we identify, quantify, locate and […]

Below is list of the initial Item Properties that will be available in the VDC REVIT Beta. ITEMSDisplays the quantity of selected Items along with their Name and CID respectively.

VDC REVIT aims to change all of that, exposing your vital Fabrication Data to Tags, Schedules, Filters, Calculations… Virtually any Data you would otherwise expect from native Family Elements. Here are some examples of “Auto Parameters” that […]
