Description
Following the 2025 Los Angeles fires, The Foothill Catalog Foundation and Autodesk partnered to accelerate rebuilding through a collection of preapproved residential designs. This session will go behind the scenes of creating the new Revit 2027 residential sample model that is part of this catalog. We'll explore the unique collaboration between a nonprofit and Autodesk to develop the design with interchangeable options. Discover the challenges of balancing municipal standards with modeling best practices, and see the "split" where the model evolved into both a product asset and a real-world home. Join representatives from The Foothill Catalog Foundation and Autodesk to learn how Revit can transform residential workflows and empower communities. Build better, together.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to implement residential Revit best practices by applying the modeling standards used in the Revit 2027 sample model.
- Learn how to construct a "three in one" project strategy to manage multiple architectural styles within a single Revit model.
- Learn how to coordinate a model-split workflow to balance municipal building requirements with software-agnostic design goals.
- Learn how preapproved BIM catalogs accelerate disaster recovery and streamline the municipal permitting process.
