        1. Installing Advance Tabco Revit Toolbar

        To request access to this tool click here and fill out the form. Once access has been granted you will receive a Product Key to insert into the License Manager.

        Once you receive the Advance Tabco setup file, close Revit and start downloading.

        There are two identical versions of this tool, one version only contains the Create Dishtable tool and the other version contains all KitchDesigner and KitchCreator tools including the Create Dishtable tool.

        If you downloaded the version from the Advance Tabco website then you will receive the Advance Tabco Revit Tools version shown in the images below.

        If you downloaded KitchDesigner/KitchCreator then the installation process will look like it does in this article: How Do I Install KitchDesigner...

        Click "Next"

         

        Read the License Agreement, select "I Agree". Click "Next"

         

        Select which versions of Revit you would like the Advance Tabco toolbar installed. Click "Next"

         

        Once Installation in complete click "Close". 

         

        Start Revit. Select to open an new or existing project.  You will see the Advance Tabco on your Revit banner. 

        Make sure you have requested access from Advance Tabco by clicking here and once you receive your Product Key you can activate the tool.

        Open the License Manager and click Activate, then paste in Product Key and click OK. The tool will be activate and ready to use.

        2. Initialization

        When you launch the Create Dishtable tool you will be taken to this window. 

        2.1 - Model Number (optional)

        The Model Number text box can be used to quickly set the configurator to Advance Tabco catalog model numbers.

        This is not required so you can continue without setting a Model Number and the configurator will automatically select the Model Number based on your inputs.

        The PDF button can be used to open the cutsheet for the active model number. 

        2.2 - Select Family Style

        Next you have a choice to create a Revit family with only 3D geometry OR a Revit family with 3D geometry and 2D symbolic lines.

        • 3D Geometry Only (faster) - Use this option if you are controlling Transparency in Revit without using 2D symbolic lines. Each 3D element will be set to a subcategory which can be used to control the line styles.

        • 3D Geometry & 2D Outlines (Built to FCSI Revit 2015 Standards) - Use this option if you are controlling Transparency in Revit by turning 3D geometry off in Plan view and tracing the equipment with 2D symbolic lines. This method conforms to the standards set in the 2015 FCSI Revit Standards.

        If you are interested in learning more about Visibility, Graphics, and Transparency in Revit, please see this article: Creating Customizable Foodservice Revit Families using Subcategories

        2.3 - Select Dishwasher Location

        Next is where you select the dishwasher location.

        This is done automatically if you select a Model Number.

        Finally click Continue to start the configurator.

        3. Using the Create Dishtable Configurator

        Live 3D Preview:

        On the left side of the configurator is a live 3D preview. This is a native Revit preview which means you can use the ViewCube in the top right corner and you can use the mouse wheel to Zoom and Orbit.

        To Zoom, hover over the 3D preview and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out.

        Interactive UI:

        The configurator user interface is fully interactive and you are able to select any option at any time.

        The Model Number is also interactive and will update after every selection, although some selections will not cause a change in the model number.

        "-MOD" will be added to the end of the Model Number if the configuration does not match a standard Advance Tabco catalog item.

        Model Number (optional):

        The Model Number text box can be used to quickly set the configurator to Advance Tabco catalog model numbers.

        This is not required so you can continue without setting a Model Number and the configurator will automatically select the Model Number based on your inputs.

        The PDF button can be used to open the cutsheet for the active model number.
