Now it’s time to make some construction drawings using the Revit model. This tutorial will cover how to create a drawing sheet with a plan, section and a perspective. Revit is a powerful tool and maybe its biggest strength is that it co-ordinates all of the 2d orthographic drawings.

OK now it’s time to get serious. The last 3 tutorials were designed to introduce you to Revit 2010 and make you comfortable working with the interface and basic tools. This tutorial picks up the pace. Still building upon what we have learned we begin to introduce a few more advanced concepts. This tutorial will cover Complex Surface Modeling _ Model In-Place Sweep (Loft-Shape & Path) _ Model Lines & Splines _ Export _ Imported Categories _ Levels _ Reference Points _ Type Parameters _ Create Form _ Control Points

This is the third tutorial in a series that will introduce you to Revit 2010. It covers the basics of  creating a parametric family profile that will be used for a vertical wall reveal. By creating a custom profile you will become more familiar with drawing in Revit 2010. The tutorial also covers how to create a camera. Have Fun!

This tutorial continues with conceptual massing in Revit 2010. In this tutorial we will create the micro skin within the macro structure of the ellipse frame. This will also be the first tutorial that begins to look at parametric modeling. Topics covered include: parametric dimension _ 3D snapping _ reference planes _ extruded surfaces

FA09_BIM_Class-07

This Revit 2010 tutorial continues with the Conceptual Massing interface. Building on the Class-05 tutorial you will geometrically break down a surface using the divide surface function. Then you will create a family of a lofted ellipse to use for the Macro structure. Topics covered include: divide surface, curtain panel, reference points, reference planes and loft

This is the fourth tutorial in a series that will introduce you to Revit 2010. It covers the Model In-Place Sweep in great detail. Sweep’s can be used for many applications and in this tutorial we draw a Sweep Profile for a MTL fascia in the project and then we will draw a couple Sweep profile families that we load into the project.  Have Fun!
