Configure and Create a Shop Drawing for Precast Assemblies

Generate shop drawings for structural precast assemblies.

1. Load the structural precast title blocks into your Revit project.
   Note: Only title blocks that use the supplied structural precast specific viewports will be available when generating shop drawings.
2. Click Concrete tab Precast Settings panel (Configuration).
3. In the Configuration dialog, expand the tree to the node of the element from which drawings will be generated:
   • Solid Wall
   • Solid Slab
   • Hollow Core Slab
   • Girder Slab
4. Expand the element node and select Shop Drawing.
5. On the Shop Drawing node, specify the following:
   • Shop Drawing Template: The precast title block for the shop drawing.
   • Center of Gravity: The symbol representing the center of gravity of the corresponding element.
   • Dimension Type: The Revit dimension type.
   • Dimension lines distances: The distances of the dimension lines from the Reference (element) and the Dimension (extents).
   • Dimension lines descriptions: The user defined text to append the Extents and Outlines of the dimensions.
6. In the Configuration dialog, navigate to Concrete Built-in parts Annotations.
7. Specify Annotation tags to be applied to element categories in the shop drawing. Enter new categories in the empty field highlighted with an asterisk.
8. In the Configuration dialog, navigate to Concrete Built-in parts Dimensioning.
9. Specify dimension labels to be applied to element categories in the shop drawing. Enter new categories in the empty field highlighted with an asterisk.
   Note: Descriptions that match will share the same dimensioning in the shop drawing. In some cases where many similar parts are in the assembly, this will save space in the drawing view. For example, 3 different types of anchor plates would share the same dimensioning layout.
10. Click OK to close the Configuration dialog.
11. In the drawing area, select one or more assemblies from which the shop drawings will be generated.
12. Click Concrete tab Precast Detailing panel (Shop Drawings).

    The shop drawings will generate, display, and be placed under Assemblies in the Project Browser.
