This tutorial provides assistance with loading the various lift models within the Orona

3G 1010, 1015, 2010, and 2015 families based upon the BIM (Building Information

Modelling) work methodology in the Autodesk Revit format (.rfa).

By using the building's virtual model, a lift's shaft, pit, and machine cabinet can be

optimised when loading the lift families, ensuring maximum reliability for the element

inserted into the pre-constructed model.

1. Design Conditions.

Orona website pre-selection. The lift for

the project can be configured with the help of

a wizard found at the website www.orona-

group.com.

Predetermined lift:

e.g., ORONA 3G 1010 telescopic opening

6p 1000x1250x2100mm

Loading family. The preselected family is

inserted into the project.

e.g., “Orona 3G 1010 telescopic opening.rfa”

Only the model from the preselected family is

loaded into the project. This prevents

excessive loading of unused data that would

unnecessarily inflate the size of the project

file.

Catalogue of models. Once the family is

loaded, a catalogue with the various models

will open. The lift is selected based upon the

categories:

� Load/Capacity (speed, travel distance, no.

of persons, and load).

� Car and door model dimensions.

� Side and/or central door dimensions.

� Pit and machine cabinet cover

dimensions.

Filtering by categories. Once the

categories are filtered, the recommended lift

is selected according to the pre-designed

parameters.

e.g., “ORONA 3G 1010 telescopic opening 6p

1000x1250x2100mm”.

The model is inserted into the project.

2. Shaft optimisation.

Reference insertion. The lift is positioned

at a floor, taking the interior face of the left

wall at its lower corner as reference.

When the family is inserted, the initial

dimensions of the shaft are used to

automatically generate a remodelling of the

walls that house the doors. If the shaft

dimensions are increased, this remodelling

will disappear.

Wall alignment. The walls must always be

inside of the marked limits (red dashed lines)

that indicate the minimum and maximum

dimensions (width and depth) allowed for the

selected lift. Move the walls until they are

within the limits, in this case the minimum.

The arrows indicate the actual dimensions of

the shaft in plan view. Align the arrows with

the interior face of the walls that house the

car, in order to link to the actual plans

parametrically.

Lift shaft optimisation. The walls are then

adjusted to the minimum dimensions of the

lift, aligning them with the minimum limits

defined by Orona. The arrows are then

aligned again with the new wall positions.

The action makes it possible to optimise the

shaft and create a space for installations

Wall within limits. Arrows not aligned to wall.

Viewing. From Graphics on the Properties

menu, the “Display shaft limits” option can

be deactivated to optimise viewing in plan

view.

3. Pit and Machinery Cabinet Optimisation.

Vertical travel. The lift is selected from the

section view, and “Display shaft limits” is

activated in Graphics on the Properties

menu...

This view allows the full travel distance of the

lift to be viewed, from the pit to the

machinery cabinet.

Pit verification. The pit depth can be

adjusted to the minimum reference by

modifying the pit level for the project.

Orona makes it possible to design a more

reduced pit by activating the

“Properties/Model Properties” option and

aligning the interior face of the pit to the

arrow.

Adjust final floor. The arrow for the final

floor slab must coincide with the top level of

the lift's final floor stopping point.

The level of the final floor and the arrow

must be adjusted to the same height, and

this must be checked. This is done by

modifying the number in the “Vertical travel”

parameter using the Properties menu…

Machine cabinet verification. The

adjustment of the final floor level allows the

minimum height for the machine cabinet to

be verified.

The machine cabinet height can be adjusted

to the reference minimum by modifying the

machine cabinet height for the project.

Orona makes it possible to design a reduced

machine cabinet by activating the option HUP

from “Properties/Model Properties” and

aligning the interior face of the machine

cabinet to the arrow. In the case shown, it

coincides with the height of the final floor.

In section view the “Shaft limits” option can

be deactivated in Properties.

4. Doors and Renders.

Representation of the car on floors. Copy

the car on all floors.

The viewing of the lift on all floors can

include car and doors, or else only doors by

deactivating the “View car in elevation view”

option.

Door selection. In an elevation view, the

door type can be selected as “Solid or

Compact”.

Check for conflicts between the door and the

false ceiling. In the case shown in the figure

there is a conflict and the door type must be

changed from Solid to Compact.

Doors open. It is possible to represent the

3D view with the doors open or closed using

the “Doors open” option in Graphics on the

Properties menu.

This option allows the lift's doors to be

opened in the 3D view to perform travel or

display infographics in the car interior.

Renders. The model makes it possible to

create renditions of the car with different

finishes.

Pre-construction. Inserting the lift into the

project's virtual building guarantees its later

installation and assembly, which prevents

interferences, extra costs, and delays

associated with installation during

construction.
