Best Practices for Adding Unique File Elements to UNIFI
Best Practices for Adding Unique File Elements to UNIFI
Updated over 4 months ago

Although most file formats export seamlessly to UNIFI, there are a few formats that take some extra steps. Here are some workarounds to help you add that content to UNIFI:

Spot Coordinates

Since spot coordinates are more of a function in Revit, they are not directly saveable like most items we can export from Revit. You can, however, save the actual symbol for the spot coordinate.

Curtains/Mullions

To add curtains/mullions, export the curtain wall or curtain system.

Filled Regions, Line Weights & Line Patterns

To add filled regions, line weights, and line patterns to UNIFI, lay all of them out on a drafting view and export that drafting view.

3D Views, Plan Views, Sections, & Elevations

To save these, you could create a template (.rte) file or a project file that you save. Keep in mind that it wouldn’t be specific to the model elements; it is just going to show where views are oriented, what they are looking at, where they are cut, etc.

Legends

To upload legends to UNIFI, you can use the Harvest Project tool. To do this, copy over the legend and store that legend in a project file that you could upload into UNIFI.

If there is a file type that you are trying to add that we haven't covered, please do not hesitate to let us know below or contact our support team.
