Forms: Creating a Loft form Forms: Creating a Loft form A Loft form is basically two or more profiles that have been blended together. The easiest way to explain this is by a quick example. I’m going to start with a “New Conceptual Mass”- and I’m going to use the “Metric Mass” template...

Forms: Creating an Extrusion Forms: Creating an Extrusion In this article we are going to learn how to use the solid form tools in the Conceptual Design Environment, to create a solid extrusion. If you are totally new to the Conceptual Design Environment you may want to read this...

Forms: Creating a Sweep Forms: Creating a Sweep A Sweep is a 3D form that is created when you “sweep” a 2D profile along a 3D path. Along with “Extrusion” it is one of the most useful ways of creating 3D geometry within Revit. You’ll find yourself using it time and again...

Forms: Creating a Surface Forms: Creating a Surface n this article we are going to take a look at how to create a Surface form, from within the Conceptual Design Environment. If you are totally new to the Conceptual Design Environment (or CDE) within Revit, I suggest that you may wish to...

Forms: Creating a Revolve form Forms: Creating a Revolve form In this article we are going to take a look at how to create a solid Revolve form, from within the Conceptual Design Environment. If you are totally new to the Conceptual Design Environment (or CDE) within Revit, I suggest that you...

Conceptual Design Environment: A Basic Introduction Conceptual Design Environment: A Basic Introduction Welcome to this Revit Zone article on the Conceptual Design Environment. In this article we are going to take a quick overview of the CDE (I’ll call it that from no on!). We’ll discuss how...

That’s better. Now let’s crack on and form our door frame. First set the Work Plane to our “Face of Frame” Reference Plane. Do this by using the “Set Work Plane” panel- and choose our Reference Plane from the drop-down list…. We can now just hit the “Sweep” button to enable us to...

Creating a parametric rafter Creating a parametric rafter One of our Forum members recently asked how roof rafters could be modelled in Revit. He wanted the ability to be able to model the roof structure in detail and also produce schedules directly from the model. Modelling roofs and their...

Building Blocks Building Blocks It's all about Building Blocks. No matter how complicated your custom component needs to be- it's all built from basic blocks! In this particular article we are going to take a look at the basic geometry that makes up any components. Revit comes complete...

Topography: Changing the section cut material Topography: Changing the section cut material When you take a section through a Toposurface, the default “cut material” that you see is “Site- Earth”…. But what if you want to change this to something else? It is of course possible-...

Ceilings: An introduction to Revit Ceilings Ceilings: An introduction to Revit Ceilings The screen shots in this article are from Revit Architecture 2010. So if you are using an earlier version of Revit, the User Interface will be significantly different from what you see here. However the...

View Templates View Templates In this article we will look at how View Templates can really aid your productivity rate when using Revit. As I’m sure you know by now, there is a huge variety of parameters that control the look and “style” of the views that you create within Revit...

Curtain Walls: A basic introduction Curtain Walls: A basic introduction In this article we are going to take a quick look at Curtain Walls, within Revit Architecture. We will discuss what they are and how you use them. And to conclude, we will produce a very simple building model containing a...

Roofs: Using Slope Arrows Roofs: Using Slope Arrows The default method of creating a sloped roof within Revit Architecture is to make one or more of the roof boundary lines “Slope Defining”. This is fine if we know what angle we want the roof slope to be at. But what if we want to create a...

Topography: Creating a basic Topo Surface-2 Topography: Creating a basic Topo Surface-2 Now this is just 2 faces. What if we added more faces? And we varied the heights of the points that defined the faces? We would have a Toposurface! As you can see, no matter how large or complicated...

Topography: Creating a basic Topo Surface Topography: Creating a basic Topo Surface Revit Architecture is not just about buildings! It’s also about the external environment that your building is part of. Revit provides many tools that allow you to model this environment, thus letting you show...
