| Workflow 1 Non-configurable assembly | Open an Inventor or a 3rd party file | For an assembly model, use Simplify Substitute to remove unnecessary components/features and combine the components into one simplified part. Reduce complexity of single parts. | Use the MEP Connector tools to create connectors that allow your product to be connected to the building system. | Use the UCS tool to specify the product placement positioning and the Author Properties tool to specify product metadata, select the orientation, category and number. | N/A | Use Export Building Components to save as an RFA file. | Open in Revit and validate geometry, connectors, category data, orientation, and properties. |
| Workflow 2 Configurable Assembly | same as above | same as above | same as above | same as above | Configure assembly, change parameters, update the assembly. Good use of iLogic. | same as above | same as above |
