CObie Documentation

ZGF Architects

This project was to organize and label approximately 65,000 items with a logic dictated for use with the Cobie documentation system. All elements of this large research center had to be documented and tagged to facilitate the maintenance and accounting of the building. Drawings were then generated to document the naming for quality control purposes. All elements within the Revit model were read and grouped into "nomenclature acronyms" which were consisted of similar objects, for example all sinks in the building would be grouped into a nomenclature acronym "SNK". The nomenclature acronyms groups were then grouped by level, vertical column grid, and order within that column, this logic drove the naming of the instance of the element within the Revit model.
