Revit Bootcamp: Day 3
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-3.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Important Tips of the Day. Temporary dimensions are accurate. Permanent dimensions round, and thus must be checked. In most cases allow dimensional tolerance of about 1/8”. Make starting point for dimensioning consistent through project. Tabs cycles through different elements. Do not over-constrain, can cause problems in project. Good idea to pin gridlines or imported cad files. Utilize quick select tool (resembles funnel in option bar) to. Cycle through highlighted selections.

Revit Bootcamp: Day 14
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-14.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. Today, Adam Wallen taught us the fundamentals behind Families, in particular in door families. Fundamentals of parametric families. Create reference planes to constrain family elements. For door and window families, make sure the opening cut is large enough to encase your family (to get to opening cut go to the edge of the family and press tab until you get it). Add parameters to dimensions to make family types. WORD OF WISDOM FROM PAT CALLAHAN. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Revit Bootcamp: DAY 17
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-17.html
Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Today, Pat Callahan went over design options and third party software. Design Options help to Schedule, Quantify and Visualize different designs within a building. Schedule – In order to provide a comparison of two design options, you can schedule both options and have a comparison of costs, materials, and labor in order to give the client a better idea of what goes on in the design.

Revit Bootcamp: Day 16
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-16.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. Today in class, Shane Gray and Elizabeth Veatch talked about linking files into a Revit project. We also got a chance to learn about massing from Craig. . Linking is the process of importing a revit project into another called the host file. When making schedules ensure the option “include elements in linked files” is checked. Two different ways to make masses. Creating a mass – created using the solid and void forms in order to create custom 3d objects. Creating a mass-utilizes d...

Revit Bootcamp: Day 11
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-11.html
Monday, June 15, 2009. Today in class, Angie taught us bootcampers about Exporting Files and Energy Analysis Modeling. . In the file menu, under export, there are a number of options in which you can export a Revit model into a format to which a third party can work with. . CAD Formats – exporting into a format that AutoCAD products can read. Walkthrough – this menu gives you the ability to export a walkthrough into a video format. Image – exports view into an image format. New to Revit 2010. Featured on...

Revit Bootcamp: Day 8
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-8.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. In today’s lesson, Chris Sharkey and Elizabeth Veatch taught us about worksets and worksharing capabilities. They also were able to incorporate phasing, design options, and color schemes as part of the lesson. . Worksharing is the method of setting up a file so that multiple people can work on it at the same time, which can speed up the time it takes to produce a BIM model if executed correctly. The main file which everyone is to work off of is called a. Under the editab...

Revit Bootcamp: Revit Rendering
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/revit-rendering.html
Monday, June 8, 2009. The how to guide. Limit what you are showing in the rendering window…the more elements turned on the longer the rendering time. Make sure materials are applied to all surfaces. Use the region option to test materials, lightings, and exposures to reduce rendering time. Use draft setting to test renderings to save time. Most printers cannot print 600 dpi, so 300 is plenty. Close-ups require higher settings. Add building components to enhance renderings. The size of the crop box in a r...

Revit Bootcamp: Day 4
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-4.html
Thursday, June 4, 2009. In today’s instruction, Staff Sergeant Craig Meadows taught the bootcampers about working with schedules. We went over how to create and format component, key, and room schedules, and how the correct manipulation of these elements helps in the transition to other forms of analytical programs, like E-Specs or Innovaya. Is a way to transfer a set of perimeters into a schedule in order to display additional needed information. . Are put into families that go into schedules. In order...

Revit Bootcamp: Revit Architecture keyboards Shortcuts
http://revitbootcamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/revit-architecture-keyboards-shortcuts.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Revit Architecture keyboards Shortcuts. Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts for Revit Architecture which might help move things along a little faster. Cycle through the highlighting of elements to select among ones that are close to one another. Note If you are selecting multiple elements and need to use the Tab key, do not hold the CTRL key while pressing TAB. Highlight wall faces or wall centerlines when placing dimensions. Select all rows in the Worksets dialog. Create differen...
