SPECIFIC
CUSTOM CONTENT - window development
Custom windows and groups of windows are an integral part of nearly
every project. Have you got a Jack Arch? Queens corners? How about
a sloped rowlock sill or some fancy precast surround? As designers,
we need to be free to design any configuration and have Revit keep
up! Learn the inner workings of inserts and how to approach even
the most complex window systems.
CUSTOM PATTERNS
- new .pat files in Revit
Once you get past the reasons when to use a Drafting Pattern and
when to use a Model Pattern, you may find that there aren’t that
many CUSTOM patterns. There are some that shipped with Revit (concrete,
wood, brick, stone, etc.). Your project may have need of a Custom
Pattern to represent a Custom Material you are using – so how do
you do it??
MASS MODELING – beginning
a design with masses, using them effectively
Schematic Design and Pre-design are times when the Team focuses
on Mass, Scale and Proportion. Square footage take-offs must be
accurate and up to date with what is nothing more than boxes and
shapes on a Schematic Site Plan. Learn the effective use of Masses
and Scheduling them in the early stages of design. The 2010 release
of Revit Architecture has additional built in functionality for
use in the early, schematic design stage of your building project.
Do you find yourself generating 3D model in two different programs?
Do you want to show a client a quick 3D representation of your ideas?
Take advantage of Revit’s massing tools and see your schematic ideas
evolve into designs ready for development all in the same program.
DESIGN OPTIONS –
working with multiple design schemes
Projects often have 2-3 directions they can proceed and need to
be explored for their merit. The best practices for developing multiple
design options are covered in this class. We also explore different
ways to show the multiple design options to your Team or the Client
for quick and easy presentations, that will help them make a decision
so the design can move forward.
SITE TOOLS – developing
the site under the Revit Project Model
Though you can use a flat site for early Schematic Designs – it’s
critical to have accurate site information displace in 3D when you
move the Design forward. Some sites have dramatic elevation change
across them that demand consideration early in the process. The
sooner you get real with the ground below your building project
the better. Learn how to bring valuable site information into Revit
from Civil 3D or CAD. Use this information to create a sculpted
3D topographic surface for your building. Learn to manipulate the
contours to best suit your design needs.
PRE-DESIGN – programming
spaces/rooms in Revit, special tags and schedules
Most building design projects have a program set that needs to be
addressed. Room adjacency and square footage requirements need to
be accounted for to best serve the client. Learn how to pre-load
your Revit project with the program data, and how to assign those
to the rooms in your project. Learn now to create custom tags that
report the target and actual square footages. Also learn to create
schedules that show spaces placed (or not yet placed), their design
parameters and whether they meet program needs or not.
DETAILING - Bringing
your AutoCAD details into Revit
Detailing is an essential part of construction documentation. Learn
how to create your own detail components, groups and views to successfully
utilize the detailing capabilities of Revit Architecture. Have a
typical detail you used all the time in CAD? Does your manufacture
only provide CAD details? Learn how to effectively utilize and manipulate
CAD details in Revit.
PROJECT INFORMATION
- Customizing and Sharing Project Information
The possibilities to share and add information to your building
projects in Revit are endless. Learn how to create project specific
parameters and shared parameters for customized scheduling, interdisciplinary
coordination and to assist in the LEED certification process.
SCHEDULES for
LEED - Utilizing Revit schedules for LEED Certification
The database of project information native to a Revit model can
be an amazing resource for you when submitting a project for LEED
certification. This session is designed to show you how to queue
the information you need for LEED templates in your project.
SCHEDULES
as DESIGN TOOLS - Using Schedules as Design Tools
How to extract the information stored in Spaces and use it in a
schedule to help make design decisions regarding air flow or lighting
levels.
VIEW FILTERS – Using
View Filters to improve visualization
Learn how to create and use View Filters for easier visualization
of engineering systems.
CONSTRUCTION
NOTES – Using Note Blocks for improved coordination
How to utilize the power of Note Blocks for easier coordination
and management of construction notes.
DRAFTING VIEWS –
Using Revit drafting tools to a minimize need for CAD imports
How to use the drafting tools available in Revit to minimize the
need for imported CAD documents.
REVIT STRUCTURE
PROJECT TEMPLATE FILE - Getting the Most Out of Your Project Template
File
A well developed Revit Structure Project Template file will save
you valuable time and help maintain consistency on your projects.
Learn what information to include so that you can get the most out
of your project template files.
REVIT STRUCTURE
for ANALYSIS and DESIGN - Leveraging Revit Structure for Analysis
and Design
Your Revit Structure project files contain a wealth of computable
data that you can leverage for structural analysis and design. By
effectively harnessing and using this information, you can streamline
your analysis and design process, minimize design errors, be more
responsive to design changes, and be better prepared to evaluate
design alternatives. In this session, you will gain insight on different
approaches for using your Revit Structure project file for analysis
and design and updating your construction documentation with the
design results.
Civil 3D Lecture Series
UNDERSTANDING
MATERIAL AND QUANTITY ANALYSIS
Corridor Earthwork Volume tools compare an existing and proposed
surface at specified alignment stations. An earthwork volume report
lists the cumulative cut and fill volumes, as well as the incremental
volume at each specified station.
Pay Item Quantities extract and report the cost of a project based
on the quantity of pay items that are assigned to AutoCAD or AutoCAD
Civil 3D objects in the project. Creating material lists is the
essential step in the creation of volume tables and reports.
Creation of tables and reports can be performed once the material
lists are generated. As part of the production of the material lists,
you will need to set quantity takeoff criteria. Import pay item
files from contracting agencies, tag objects, closed areas, and
collections, and compute quantities to create quantity reports and
tables.
INTEGRATED
STORM MODELING – layout a storm system in Civil 3D and analyze it
with Hydraflow Storm Sewers
The Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extension allows you to perform hydraulic
analysis tasks on pipe networks created with AutoCAD Civil 3D or
with the Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extension.
You can migrate pipe network data between AutoCAD Civil 3D and the
Hydraflow Storm Sewers Extension.
UNDERSTANDING
INTERSECTIONS AND THE INTERSECTION WIZARD
You can use AutoCAD Civil 3D intersection design features to automatically
create flexible 3D models of corridor intersections.
An intersection object builds on and manages various object data,
including alignments, profiles, corridors, assemblies, subassemblies,
and surfaces.
In its simplest form, an intersection object can be created by selecting
the location where two alignments intersect. This automatically
creates an intersection object in the drawing.
