I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, so my apologies if it is not. Would like to hear from other BIM designers who are using fabrication parts inside of Revit 2018, specifically duct. We can discuss some of the potential problems and issues that are faced in converting from CADmep to Revit, and hopefully share our thoughts, ideas, suggestions and innovations. I am also using trimble field points inside of Revit, so I have some experience using that as well. PM me and introduce yourself. Would be great to hear from you. Cheers

Thanks for the welcome. I do have a question. Have any of you had any success using Dynamic holes on Fabrication parts inside of Revit 2018? There is a video that i've found https://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...5BrfevETQ.html but he talks about only 2 manufacturers being able to use these, and no idea which 2 he is referring to. Any Suggestions?

I'm using Fabrication parts inside of Revit 2018 at the moment. For the most part I really like it, but there are some challenges, mostly with duct branches and takeoffs. I cannot get dynamic holes to work properly. Apparently that was a new edition to 2018 but they don't really explain how it works. When I open the .MAJ file in CADduct, the holes are not showing. Not sure if I have to use a different straight ITM or what it is. Any suggestions?
I also suggest that if you are using fabrication parts inside Revit, then try to work inside of Revit only, and not export/import the .MAJ back and forth as you will lose any associated dimensions/annotations when you re import.
