Updated over a week ago

Upload custom wall types to a team library using Revit. Install Snaptrude Manager for Revit first. Once the manager is installed, begin by drawing all the different wall types in a Revit project. Alternatively, import the entire project on Snaptrude if it contains all the desired wall types.

Uploading Wall types from Revit

Step 1: Click on the Snaptrude manager and select 'Export to Snaptrude'.

Managing Wall Types in Library

Once imported, navigate to the team's library where these wall types were added. Here, find the imported wall types listed alongside the default ones. Each wall type includes its construction properties from Revit, such as the structural layer and any finished layer present, along with their thickness.

Assign Units & Cost

Assign construction and demolition costs to the wall type in the team library. Enter the construction cost. Define the units for cost calculation and whether the cost should be calculated by area, volume, or running length, depending on the wall type.

Image

Add New Property

Add and assign a new property to the walls directly from the library.

Delete, Rename or Duplicate Wall type

To delete, rename, or duplicate a wall type, right click on it and select the respective option.

Note:
1. After setting up the wall library for the team, navigate to the project. The construction cost will be updated in the Costing tab.

2. These wall types will then be available to use in all projects of that team.
