5. Conclusions
- (1)
- Parametric modeling steps that consider constraints between components. The building sequence is determined based on the constraints, which ensures the reasonableness of the model assembly, and moreover, it improves the model’s precision at the source and enhances the accuracy of the model’s construction.
- (2)
- The development of a template library for sluice modeling for automated assembly. Based on the development of Revit API, a template library for the automatic assembly of each component of the sluice project was created, which greatly simplifies the process of model construction and improves work efficiency. The template library for automated modeling not only solves the cumbersome procedures and model errors induced by model assembly, but also provides a strong tool support for future water conservancy project design. The template library is not only a revolutionary simplification of the traditional modeling process, but also a far-reaching layout for future water conservancy engineering design practice.
