Create the building model by adding architectural elements, structural elements, and MEP systems. Add design options and custom components (Revit families).
Video: Add Grid Lines
Add grid lines to a model to create a reference and framework for the design.
Video: Rotate True North
Set the angle of True North as it relates to the angle of Project North in your model. Use a reference object to help you rotate the North position.
Video: Work with Linked Topography
After you link topography from the civil engineer, you can work with the topography to incorporate it into the building design.
Video: Calculate Cut and Fill Volumes
Make and track changes to existing topography grading when your project needs a portion of the existing toposolid changed.
Video: Add Site Components
Add parking spaces, planting components, and other site elements to your model.
Video: Measure
Use Measure to quickly find the lenght of elements or distances in your model.
Video: Use the Split Face and Paint Tools
Apply a different material to an element section without altering the family definition or adding a new family to the model.
Video: Propagate the Extents of Datums
After changing the 2D extent of a datum, such as a grid or a level, use the Propagate Extents tool to use the same 2D extents in other views.
Video: Editing Compound Structures
Specify the thickness, material, and function of layers in a compound structure (wall/roof/floor/ceiling).
Video: Use Area Schemes
Create an area scheme and apply it to an area plan to analyze space and area requirements.
Video: Create and Divide Parts
Create Parts in your Revit model to divide certain elements into individual sections that can be scheduled, tagged, filtered, or exported.
Video: Introduction to Generative Design
Learn how you can use Generative Design in Revit to generate and explore design alternatives to your design challenges.
Video: Create a Generative Design Study
Specify the goals, constraints, and other inputs to use when generating design alternatives (outcomes) with Generative Design in Revit.
Video: Explore Outcomes of a Generative Design Study
After creating a study with Generative Design in Revit, explore the outcomes to find the one that best solves the design challenge, or use an outcome as the basis for a new study.
