Traditional structural engineering firms usually work in two parallel groups: structural engineers who design the structural systems using analysis programs; and structural drafters, who use engineers information to create structural drawings within CAD software. Because the information is transferred manually between these groups, the usual flow of change orders from an architect results in an excessive number of interactions that are prone to introduce errors.***Free Registration Required***

Computable Revit Systems model helps in building electrical circuits design.

Welcome to the age of True 3D Parametric Based Architectural Design and Documentation. Get on board ! (Video Tutorial)

REVIT is a new 3D architectural application adopted by Autodesk. Trying something more direct here, we draw a 3D house top to bottom including the site. Along the way we learn all the pertinent commands and intuitive interface. (Video Tutorial)

The lack of layers may be a rude shock to you seasoned CAD users, but take the following tutorial to see how Autodesk Revit pulls this off and then make up your own mind about designing without layers.

Video on selecting multiple elements in Revit view.

This tutorial covers how to add angle parameters. In this case we put them in a curtain panel to break from such an orthogonal grid. Here are they a tilted mullions but one could imagine using a curtain system just and a construction grid then using face based families for more complex systems on top of the grid.

In this tutorial I make a simple parametric stool in a generic family. I cover Working with reference planes, parameters and establishing constraints.

Basic tutorial of making curtain walls, including sample file.

This Revit video tutorial shows how to array a series of voids to create a changing truss system. Rather than thinking of the modeling in components what we are doing here is modeling a solid and using Revit’s cut geometry tool to slice a solid into stick members. The only catch to this techniques is that each truss has a slight slant on the top and bottom. This is something that i willing to look past since i figure it will be lost in the line weight. Once this model needs to transfer to a higher lever of precision i would consider another modeling technique. As a design tool this technique allows for quick iteration while maintaining the design intent. This is the first part of a two part series the second video will dive deeper in using formulas to drive the spacing and thickness of trusses (and why it’s in a line based family:)).

Pretty basic tutorial, If you know this then it won’t effect you if you didn’t. you’ll be glad you don’t have to navigate to you project folders anymore.

To get the best out of Revit with the least amount of effort, model as simply as you can get away with and then detail as much as you need.
