Post Description

Advanced Modeling in Revit Architecture elaborates on the basics of core elements in Revit, such as walls, floors, roofs, and curtain walls, and digs into specialized features such as in-place families, adaptive components, and the massing environment. Author Paul F. Aubin guides designers into thinking both in and out of the box, through discovering and applying industry standard best practices, employing creative and sometimes unconventional techniques and procedures, and finding ways to make models serve multiple concurrent project goals.
Topics include:

    Understanding some different approaches to modeling
    Building an in-place mass
    Creating and manipulating massing forms
    Using X-Ray and Dissolve
    Performing an energy analysis
    Applying geometry to surfaces
    Configuring divided surfaces
    Nesting massing families
    Stitching borders with adaptive components
    Working with lofting techniques
    Adding dormers and soffits
    Choosing a wall modeling strategy
    Working with curtain walls
    Building custom stairs
