Mapping Floor Types TN

Mapping the floor types TN (Also see the Enhanced Deck Mapping article)

Now that you have the new floor types necessary in the Revit model you will need to map these to the RAM model deck properties.

1.       Open the RAM Importer dialog.

2.       In the Mappings box of the Importer click the Edit button.

3.       In the Mappings Editor select the Deck tab.

4.       Select the appropriate floor type from the drop down.

5.       Click the Plus sign to add mapping for your floor type.

6.       In the Add New Item dialog select the floor type you added to the Revit family from the drop down.

7.       Enter the exact deck type name used in the RAM model in the Label text field.

8.       Enter only those design parameters used in the RAM model in the appropriate fields. These also   must be exactly the same as in RAM.

9.       Click the Add button.

10.   Repeat for any additional mappings needed.

11.   Save the mapping file and close.

12.   Back in the Importer import the model as normal.

You should now be able to import your deck/slabs from RAM. If you still get mapping errors in the log file go back and recheck the mapping properties in the Mappings Editor. If you find that everything matches RAM correctly try deleting any mapping that does not apply to the current model and re-import.
