Abstract

The article is devoted to a thorough analysis of information modeling processes, their problems, and options for improvement using the extensive capabilities of programming. Autodesk Revit object, has its own properties and methods. It is possible with these properties and methods to automate and speed up designing process with the help of programming. Also, it focuses on the direct implementation of a broad infrastructure that includes several Revit plug-ins, a database, a user rights management system, cloud storage, virtual machines for query processing, and many other cloud service components to create a self-contained and useful system.

Plug-in for automated design of complex engineering objects which was created and considered in previous work on Autodesk Revit based has evolved in this paper and improvement using the extensive capabilities of programming in tandem with modern Amazon cloud technologies.

Tools created to automate certain processes include numbering reinforcement, elements, inserting custom parameters according to element types or a set of other parameters, generating necessary views of elements. When talking about the extension of Revit capabilities, these usually include placement of elements at specified world coordinates, modelling of complicated geometry and etc.

The Representational State Transfer service built with the help of Laravel framework was described step by step and its features have been displayed, demonstrating its flexibility, configuration and simpleness.
