All, If you've been following my previous post on massing and were wondering about some of the parameters and method used, you can check out this presentation by Vincent Poon, Phil Read and Matt Jezyk from Autodesk University 2007 which was ahead of its time, it is based on the old revit massing environment,  pre conceptual mass environment but still great stuff. http://test42.dcheetah.com/?nd

One of my viewers asked recently to post the workflow that i follow, so here it is. Excuse the formatting, copying across from indesign to blogger didn't really work(but its all in there). Comment please, i'd like to see what others think? Last post for this year, Hope everyone has a nice break over the holidays.

I'm back, with my first proper post in about 6-8 weeks. One thing i wanted to do with this chapter was really set it up like a real office situation, follow the work flow as it would actually happen, blog or blog post can tend to be a bit unrealistic at times as they can jump around, skip lots of phases leaving the followers saying 'thats not really how its done'. So true to form I'm now going to

You may have noticed a distinct lack over blogging over the last 2 months, this is mainly due required purchase of a new laptop and then not being able to install my screen recording software. The software was on online purchase download no longer available and i couldn't  find the license codes either. Any way I've now be able to get the files and codes back so i can pick up blogging again soon.

This weeks post is on a few different presentation style,a link to the revit file and links to all videos to date in this chapter, this closes out the design section of this project and allows us to move into the construction, The 4 presentation styles i'm going to look at are;Shading with edges with shadows turned on (set at 20%) Room Colour fill with shadows turned on (set at 20%) Render 3D

In this next post i add a topo surface and then cut it with 2 different pads, one for the main level and then one for the lower ground floor. The site tool still needs a lot of development but with some carefully modeled toposurface you can get at least the perspectives and renderings looking good. The main issue i have with toposurfaces is that the pads can not over lap which makes it very time

Sorry for any technical difficulties over the last few days, i think google documents settings is not quite working correctly for my download files. All my download files are set to 'public on web with link' meaning anyone can download without a signin. It still may take a few days to fix, i've reported it to google. so if the links dont work try back in a few days. Thanks Peter For the next

In this post we continue to develop the design by adding more features, refining others and begin to understand what our design potentials are. What we do in this post is 1) Redefine the roof edge by adding a thinner roof profile to the edge 2) Add Railing around atrium by using the Curtain wall tool 3) Add the Staircases and modify a few elements 4) Edge curtain wall that is automatically

Hey All In this video we start to develop the project, we put down the basic shape of the building, the idea is to get the rooms and shapes into roughly the correct position along with the general floors, roofs and walls. From here we will develop the design further with more walls, roofs and floors types in the next post, but this gives us a first look at how the building might look.

Hello All, Below is the start of the next chapter(Modern House), We setup 1) Levels 2) Grids 3) Guide Reference Planes 4) Worksets 5) Central file and local file The idea with this chapter is to mimic the real life process that would happen in most architectural practices. We build a more basic model to start off with (design model or place holder model) these are quicker to produce, allow more

Hello all, I've decided not to do the next chapter of my blog on the project I'm working on at the moment as it is going to take about 3-6 months to develop the scheme to construction (it would not be a great video blogging example due to its longevity). So I've picked a nice modern house which i seen in a magazine recently, it has some really nice features, i dont have the full set of drawings

Finally i got to test the new 'Create Parts Tool' in 2012, my blog was based on how to model in revit without this tool, I've done this by modeling separate walls in external wall construction, multiple floors etc. Now we can move forward with a much better tool. I've been reviewing some new blogs recently and i came across a video and post on this topic which i found very useful. http://

In this post we talk about family categories, their restrictions in terms of being cut by section or only showing their elevations, how visibility graphics affect the category. Also i go into the 'Always Vertical' setting where the family takes the slope of its host and the 'Work plane based' setting to see what extra settings are available to the user. Enjoy Peter.

This next post talks about when you load a family into another family(nesting), then in the project environment how do you access the parameters of the original family. The key is To make the parameters in the first family 'Instance' not 'Type', load it into the 2nd family(host)  Then in the 2nd family(host) create a duplicate parameter in the 'Type' dialogue box.  Now select the 1st family

The next few posts are going to revolve around families and just releasing some of the advanced user setting that tend to get lost in the mix. the first one is on formulas, I made this family over a year ago and took me about 3 days to get working and then 2 days later audodesk released sloped columns in revit so it ended up being a waste of time but it is a good introduction to formulas and

One of my followers asked if i could do a video on making a new line types, so here it is, it effectively has 2 parts; 1) The line pattern(the dash style and length and the space length)  2) The line style(Colour, line weight number and the line pattern(1) I've also included a quick note on object styles, room separation lines and units Enjoy

Alright Folks, Sorry for the lack of blogging over the last few weeks, have been moving house, we all know what a pain that is, with packing, cleaning, living out of boxes for a couple of weeks not knowing where anything is packed. Any way we're in now and have a nice garden for BBQ's so back to normal service, I plan to wrap up this chapter the house extension here with a few small things

In this next installment we start on the annotation of our house extension project. It doesn't look like much yet but it shapes up pretty fast in the 2nd and 3rd videos, the ideas is to bring the 2D cuts(plan section and elevation) up to a good construction standard. We first have to do some house keeping items such as selecting the views that we will provide the builder with and fix their crop

As per the pictures in the previous post, below is the video for the roof timbers, rafters, wall plates, ceiling joists etc. as promised its pretty intense, the first 12mins are creating the families, the next 12 is placing the timbers in the project and the final 5 minutes is placing the sky light and purlins.

I just did a mock up of what is going to be in the post and it is going to be quite intensive, as i want to show you how to create the detail families of the rafters and joists and not just give you the families, it involves a lot of prep work for the video, so for that reason the next video will be posted at the weekend when i have more time to put into the video. A little sneak preview is below

In this next video we start on the roof which will be divided into 2-3 videos, this part is the basic modeling, including; Drafting out the roof design using drafting lines in section to figure the roof break down and pitch The roof itself(the battens and roof tiles only) The fascia and soffit (using profile families and the 'roof fascia' tool) The ridge tile (using profile families and the '

In this next part video we model the foundation walls, floor slab, external walls, dry lining and foundations. One note the plasterboard wall type in the template file i gave out still has a metal stud layer which it shouldn't have, so you should delete that layer from the wall type.

So to start off our project you first have to model the existing house to which the extension will added onto. This post has the template files for you to use with the same objects and wall types which are listed below, the modeling of the existing house is pretty simple stuff but for new user this information is key to them to see how the project starts, for more advanced user if you want to

Hello all, In the next series of posts, I'll build a mini project of a house extension, its a single story extension and 1 half is a glass window and the the other brickwork, the roof is tile or slate and has 2 skylights with light well internally, the project is based on a job i did for my brother a couple of years ago and it gives you an opportunity to model something in a good amount of

Hello, Generally i don't repost other blogs but I've been in contact with Phillipp (Teamleader Autodesk Student Experts TU Graz, Austria) and they seem to be a nice bunch of students trying to spread the revit knowledge base. I thought instead of doing the standard repost i add my own notes on each video that is information i didn't even know or stuff i use to know but have forgotten. There is 3

So now that we move onto the next Detail / Chapter of my blog I'll return to the original format of 4-5 post talking about the detail which generally include; Part.... Analysis of the detail (introduction to the detail, 2D free hand sketches of the detail, a list of what components i think are involved and what revit tool i think I'll use and how many System families i can use.

So this is the conclusion to the 'revit project', the experiment i was testing to see if a whole project could be done in about 15 (half hour) videos so that you could download them all and watch them in a single sitting of one day at work. Well to be honest it didn't quite work out that way, it took considerable longer, approx 10.5 hours worth of footage over 23 videos. It also took its toll on

In this post i shown you in 20 minutes how to setup your own rendered Walkthrough by Exporting a .FBX file type from the default 3D view in your revit model. Then we import the .FBX file in 3Ds Max. We set a new camera for the walkthrough, move it to the correct height and change the camera lens size to 28mm.  The next step is  change the time configuration to have 500 frames and frame rate of

In this Post we discuss 1) 3D cut section rendering, 2) Rendering exterior view with lights turned on in building Note that each light turned on will add about 10 minute per light to a 300dpi Medium rendering(on my machine anyway, it is 3 years old after all). Below are the outputs of each render type and a really good example of where i got the internal light setting just right so you can see

In this video we - Create several 3D views (isometric, copy of the default 3d view) and apply the 'oriantate to view' setting which will match the 3D view to the cuts of all the sections and plans. - We also create a workset checking 3D view for the BIM manager to double check the model to see all model elements are on the right workset using the 'Visibility Graphics' (VG) settings Enjoy.

In the next 2 weeks i plan to post a video every 2 days to finish out this chapter up to the start of the rendering posts. This video is the views organisation, we will - Remake all the sections and pick certain positions, - Duplicate the plans for printing views, - Create a custom parameter to organise our browser - Create a Scope Box - Hiding Ref planes in view Enjoy.

Finally the last video for the Modelling stage of this chapter, after this we start on annotation videos which will be much shorter. I did originally thought i could get this far in about 6-7 videos but it took me 15 instead. In about 6-8 weeks I'll return to individual details again The last few things we do in this video are place the rooms, furniture and plumbing fixtures, we also model the

In this next video post we build the Lift and Stair core for access to the apartments. We’ll quickly model - New reference planes to set everything out - New externals walls - Internal wall to host the lift - Place the Lift component - Model ground bearing slab and suspended slab on upper level - Extend the Foundations - Cut back the existing road and external walkway slab and railing. -

In this post we place the floor joist in the apartment units and also the ceiling joists for the upper level. We use a beam system to evenly space the joists over the footprint. To help reduce the beam depth which effect the over all floor to floor inter height i place 2 steel beams to cut the span of the joist to around 14'. Another point to note from one of my followers is for the roof

They consist of profile families for all the rail structures (handrail, glass panel etc) which are sweeped along the railing path which you draw, the second element is a 3D Baluster family for the post which are placed at a regular distances.

The joys of video blogging is occasionally things go wrong during videoing such as phone calls, live bands playing at the street party outside my house etc... but its all part of the fun. In this video we model the curved roof, roof joist/purlins that are cross-sectional rotated, flat roofs with falls, gutters and verge flashings. For this post you need to make 3 new roof types which are R1 -

So far this chapter of my blog is going well, I’ve had over 270 views of the 1st video since last Sunday which is a record for me. This next video part is based on the structure of the building including the foundations, concrete basement, columns and beams. We'll (like a real construction site) work from the bottom and work up, I’ve split the structure into 2 videos the lower B1 and 01 Level

Hey, Enclosed is the first part of 2 video tutorials for the concrete cast in-situ detail, the first part is the main detailing, the second video is just adding some context to the detail to allow you see the full project detail. One note which i didn't mention is that there is a requirement of an L-shape metal angle to support the brick above the curtain wall storefront, this metal angle

Hi, This is a quick video about a question one of my followers Steve had asked about how do you modify the parameters of a profile that is attached to the gutter family within the project environment? This is based on the curved roof tutorials i done a couple of weeks ago. The secret is that to modify the parameters you actually need to search in the project browser under 'families', then under

This detail is on a curved roof; consisting of insulated metal roof panel (curved) on structural roof beams/purlins/girder’s (whatever it’s called in your region of the world). It has an eaves junction with an external wall and requires a profile gutter (that matches the roof manufactures detail or is a commonly supplied element by the roof manufacture) and has a few other elements such as wall

I had some good comments on my ‘Concrete Basement detail video’ a couple of days ago about the method of unlocking layers in walls and extending them down, the other option which I completely forgot is the simple ‘join geometry’. If done correctly it will actually delete or cut the wall to get a similar effect to the method of extend wall layers. Note it will only work in certain situations not

This detail is on a Parapet junction with a flat roof, it consist of a couple of walls, floor, roof, hosted profiles and some line work. The principle is there is a cavity external wall at the lower level that has a wider innerleaf of blockwork/CMU, there is then a suspended concrete slab that rest or is supported on the innerleaf. The external leaf extends past the slab and joins with a parapet

Hey Guys,I promised I'd post a demo of a training project I'm working on, its based on a project I've done about 7 years ago when i first started working. The project was done and complete in AutoCAD. It was a really interesting exercise, i basically had all the drawings complete and worked out, all i need to do was to figure out how to model in an advanced way to recreate the same end result,

Continuing on from my previous 2 post, this is the final part of this detail. We now add the 2D work and annotation. We will use some filled regions, repeating detail components, 2D Lines, text and dimensions.

Below is a link for the modeling of the concrete basement detail, its 28 minutes long but worth a watch, one or two things i left out; i preset the top wall offset to (-1'-0") before drawing the 1st set of concrete walls, and when i'm drawing the profile family the dimensions can be turned into parameters I also preset some grids and levels; Grid are 19'-6" apart (1,2,3,a,b,c) Levels are (02

Finally i get to move on to the next chapter of my blog, the first 2 months were somewhat of an experiment to find the correct format, number of images vs text etc. but now i think i have it down.

Glass rendering techniques, Material, Tip 1. Generally you want a nice bit of reflection to show that the glass panel is glass, usually I bump up the reflection to around 30-35%. Tip 2. Generally you want also to see where the glass is, when you select clear glass as a material it can be difficult to see it in renders without doing Photoshop work to the glass. I usually pick blue glass setting as

The final stage of the detail is to add the 2D work, annotation, dims, etc. You have a range of tools to do the 2D work; Drafting lines (lines and arcs) Filled regions (hatches, can take advantage of using the boundary line as a line or invisible) Masked region (solid white hatch effectively, can do lines or invisible lines) Line work tool (to change the predefined lines on 3d objects that are

Now this will be shorter than the last post I hope. I'll talk about how to model angled bracing but first the reason why I do it. Often the bracing isn't modelled as it is easier and faster not to model it and not to think about it, but when services coordination falls on your lap you'll be happy that you did model the bracing. When you receive drawings or a model(if you're lucky enough) from the

For viewers new to this blog, this is a continuing chapter on full height glass partitions. Please read earlier blogs to understand the method which I use to create this type of detail in revit. Also I'm considering buying video recording software and posting videos to cut down the length of the blog, there's a lot of text needed to explain quite simple tasks. Hopefully by the end of the month

So I was thinking that i didn't explain in great detail about the method of breaking down a detail. First of all you don't require a full blown cad drawing, it can also be a quick sketch on butter paper or scrap paper etc. After you sketch your detail up you then work in with a simple 5 column table (which can also be a sketch). 1st step   - Draw detail and annotate it 2nd step - Mark a number

I thought I'd start off with something simple and that has a nice mix of 3D & 2D. Full height glass partitions, initially they look quite simple to do but the more you look into the detail the more expanded the subject gets, in terms of components and interaction between components. 3D Section through full height Glazing & Section of head and base glazing channel General work practice for

Over the next 12 months I plan to write and explain how to develop your architectural details and model them in Revit. I’ll run through analysis of the detail, modelling the basics, modelling the advance parts, adding the 2D detail for final touch-ups and more. This is to help all new Revit users, students learning architecture and to develop the general knowledge base in the Revit community. The
