The layout of tower cranes directly affects the construction efficiency and construction cost in super high-rise buildings. This study combines the BIM technology with the expertise of tower crane planning, constructs the Revit parameterization family of the tower crane, defines the structural parameters and performance parameters of the tower crane family, and develops the computer aided tower crane planning system using Revit's API. Finally, the function of tower crane model management, tower crane quantity estimation, tower crane layout and auxiliary positioning has been realized. The system provides three-dimensional auxiliary tools for super high-rise construction tower crane planning, which frees designers from abstract drawing, improves efficiency, and reduces planning errors.
