Work Smarter in Revit
You probably didn’t become an architect to spend
your time creating 2D linework on masonry sections.
Great software has the power to do the
busy work for us, allowing time to focus on creative
tasks. For all the virtues of Revit, it has
some weaknesses when it comes to masonry.
That’s where Masonry iQ can help. It is a plugin
to Revit that can do a lot of the busy work required
when working with masonry, freeing you to
use your time being creative.
Custom Bond Patterns
Masonry iQ allows you to create a wide variety of
custom bond patterns without ever leaving Revit.
Want a wainscot of oversized units in a brick
wall with an accent band of cmu? It’s easy with
Masonry iQ. You can say, “good bye” to the days
of using external PAT file generators or browsing
stock libraries of bond pattern content.
Masonry Layout Analysis
Masonry iQ has super powers when it comes to
exploring layout. Masonry iQ understand how
to bond masonry corners, so it gives you correct
masonry wall elevations. 4” anchored veneers
in 8x16 running bond need 12” long corners to
maintain the correct bond. Masonry iQ knows
that so you don’t have to. Masonry iQ also
knows where your openings should go to eliminate
field cutting. Impress your owner and your
trade professionals with properly designed masonry.
Amazing Rendering Power
Once you have your custom bond pattern, create
a material schema in minutes. Masonry iQ allows
you to browse the full product line of a growing
number of masonry producers around the country.
Play with color, texture and blends to develop
a variety of design schemes. In Revit 2018.2 and
2019, Masonry iQ creates high resolution images
for rendering that are unmatched in the industry.
You’ve never seen masonry in Revit until you’ve
seen what Masonry iQ can do.
…And So Much More!
Masonry iQ supports masonry in many other
ways. Create bond beams by simply selecting
courses. Create control joints automatically –
drag or copy them to get the layout just right.
Let Masonry iQ draw all your masonry sections
with the click of a button. Bond corners that are
not 90 degrees with miter or squared off styles
that layout correctly. All this, and we are just
getting started.
