Path of Travel – New Feature in Revit 2020
One of the new features that is particularly relevant for architects is the ‘Route Analysis’ tool. This works by placing point-to-point lines between the start and finish of a route in plan. Revit will then analyse this and find the shortest route between the points, avoiding obstacles on the way, and it will place a segmented detail line along that path, in the chosen view. The intention for this tool is to create such things as:
- Fire Escape plans
- Emergency Evacuation plans
- Life Safety plans (USA)
Here follows a detailed analysis of the new feature:
Analysis of Route Analysis
The tool is found on the Analyse tab, called ‘Path of Travel’
Once the tool is activated, the ribbon displays a Linestyle choice. It defaults to a linestyle called ‘Path of Travel Lines’
Step one is to draw a line between two points.
Revit then thinks a moment and places a ‘Detail Line’ segmented pathway between the two points
