Mastering Revit Assembly Codes!

Today’s video focused on best practices and workflows for managing Assembly Codes.

For those who are aware of how this aspect of Revit works, I hope you learn some new techniques and management strategies. For those new to the concept, feel free to leave any queries down below – always happy to lend more tips and tricks to help you along the way!

I hope you enjoy the session and learn something new! Feel free to comment any feedback/questions below, or follow my channel if you enjoyed this.

Nice video ABG. In the US we can utilize Master Format for a single element and Uniformat for Assemblies of elements. So Uniformat can have the full wall assembly, but it’s made of different material, all specified by the Master Format 00 00 00 system.
One unified system would be awesome.

Hey Gavin, thanks for your amazing video.
Quick question about how can we designate Revit categories to the codes that we create?

Thanks again, take care!

Many thanks. Very useful! I've managed to create my own MasterFormat .txt! SUPER

The tab at the end of each line is there for a reason, the last portion should be a Category Id which is used for filtering the codes in the UI, but usually it is omitted.

We use our cost manager's unique coding system, distinct from the standards. These custom codes are input into assembly parameters, while we also utilize Uniclass 2015 codes integrated within family names. Do you think this approach is appropriate, and what recommendations would you have? Thank you for your guidance.

Thank you for the video!
@AussieBIMGuru, in Revit is it possible to assign different code number for each wall element (bricks, insulators, gypsum...) to allow to distinguish them in the takeoff sheets?

Hi there down under, what do you recommend for specs software with revit ? thanks in advance

Hi and thank you for the great video. Are you aware if anyone has done an assembly code file for the NBS CAWS classification system?

Please! How to find CSI assambly codes ????
