Great tutorial! How can I do a stacked array with horizontal & vertical options for a single row? Thanks.

Hi! I've nested this box array family in another family. It's a radiator with valves that stick out on the sides of it. I'm having difficulty snapping to the center of array to the rest of the nested objects. Do you have any advice for this?

Perhaps you can assist me I purchased a new Laptop I have revit 2024 and twinmotion working fine on my desktop but I have installed both on the new laptop they both work separately but if I try open twinmotion through revit it says that it is not installed. Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks for the tip, but the studs will not be at the edge of the wall like you have shown. How do you offset the beam system to account for the other layers in the wall?

what everyone wants to know is which is better

When you want save a section box view, you go to your default 3d view in the project browser and choose duplicate. A quicker way is to just press the lock view button on the bottom bar, then it will prompt you to enter a name for the view and save it. After you can just unlock if needed.

Our standard walls are in two parts - "Finish" and "Core". This allows more freedom in designing the exterior material finishes, material heights, and material thicknesses without disrupting the core wall joins, painted walls, etc. Yes, the two walls must be Joined. Another benefit is every wall with "finish" in the name gets seen in a filter and gets a thicker exterior line on floor plans. Also, sometimes BIM depends on CAD. Cut Profiles, Detal Components, Drafting Objects, and Linework overrides are all valid tools for communicating design intent.

While it's cool to model all the individual pieces of lumber, surely you don't actually do this in larger projects? I can't imagine having the time to model large apartment complexes or hotels like this. Not sure if this touches on one of your 3 options, but I usually have my lower wall come up to the base of the higher wall, join them for the sake of consistent cladding, then attach top/base the lower wall to the floor. The floor is modeled to end at the outside face of stud. This cleans up the lower wall by not having it cut through the floor, but makes the cladding continue up and connect to the wall above. Works for me most of the time, but there always seems to be issues no matter what method is used.

Fantastic tutorial!! You make it so easy to follow along and get a decent result. This is perfect for a fly-thru of a large scale remote project where close up detail is not required. Your a life saving legend 👍😁👍Thank you so much

i generally like to join wall with floor when I can, but there is a moment to think about at that location that you were working at. because the siding goes lower than the floor and covers the sill

Could you explain in your browser how you have sections of floor plans for demolition, existing, and new construction? How does that work and how/when do you set those up?

I maintain a layer in the floor for my framing and keep both functions as structural. Then the wall can be pulled down to the bottom of the framing and join the wall to the floor, this cleans up the interior “Wall layers’ without the issues you describe of the banding/finish.

How do you connect timber without the steel plate

I've used a combination of the methods with some success. Instead of making the siding/sheathing skin wrap all the way around the rim joist area, I just use it to patch in the little fail corners. It doesn't always work, because as we all know, short walls sometimes join themselves out of existence.

As for a lot of things in Revit, it's basically a shortcoming of Revit, demanding a work-around. While you _can_ modify the top / bottom of layers in a wall, you _can't_ modify the left / right end. I like to choose the method of unlocking some layers in the wall to pull them up / down and to cleanup the corners, switch the join order of the walls. If that won't do, then split up the wall's layers into separate walls.

Good point, I’d use a wall void sweep. Then means your doors and window can use report instance parameter for the thickness of the wall

"line end style" this is available in autocad why not in revit for sharp corner ?

Why?

hear from the future/present, thank you for the video!

Tried this workflow in Revit 2020 and everything worked. Tried in 2022 and was getting error messages in Dynamo when trying to populate the code values into LS Function of Space Keys . I'm new to Dynamo. Any idea on what might be causing it? Perhaps involves the various release packages of the dynamo scripts?

very informative

Is there a video where you go over base host families?? Working on creating some families for cabinets that will allow for me to not host to a wall face.

There is another way, 1) Link "Fit-out.Rvt" link first. 2) Link "Core-shell.Rvt" Now tag a room, room tag will pick rooms which are available in Fit-out.Rvt. Then again choose room tag and hower your mouse cursor on internal walls, It will pick "Core-shell.Rvt" rooms.

oh i was wonder when i saw both of you on same platform and confused for a time which one is Balkan 😆😆

This is a great! Can some code be added to read room tags from a linked architectural model? We do building services and room tags primarily exist in the Architectural models which we do not have access to, to run this script in.

So I have a project that has bridging, which I have used to now create a "Coordination Space" for the "Design Clashing" portion. It works well. Another neat thing is you can link in Bridge files & it too can be set up that way versus direct linking the bridge models. This if you have the BLDG broken up into multiple models.

Love it Jeff! Thanks for showing us your process.

Hi Jeff, Now with sheet categories is a lot easier to organize sheet sets but I wish they had something similar for views. How do you deal with the organization for a project that needs similar kind of drawings for a Permit set, Landmarks approval set, CD set, DOT, etc..? Essentially the pemit, Landmakrs and CD sets will all have the same kind of floor plans/elevations/sections just with different notes/graphics. Do you have any strategy for organizing the views in a project like this?

You rock! Thank you very much. I have a suggestion, could you make some videos regarding the management of a BIM project? In terms of teams, milestones, communication and collaboration? I would love to understand the managerial scope of a BIM project. Thanks!

Amazing, and not acceptable to have such a solution. I am frustrated on how Revit is imposing erroneous geometry to achieve correct graphic. this must be sorted out.

Thank youu

Hi Jeff , do you have a template that we could buy? I really life your graphics!!

Why doesn't Enscape identify Revit materials? How to fix this problem?

I'm looking how to add volumes to the pipe schedule but I can't find it anywere? Do you have any idea?

Awesomo! I've been wanting to do this for years! Thank you!! (What about garage overhead rolling doors?)

What an awesome discussion!! 👊🏻 Hope to see more of it.

I haven't tested it but I was just wondering if the quick sync bug that loses the materials is fixed now in 2024? That was super annoying so I switched to exporting Datasmith (thanks for the tip @TheRevitKid) but it would be very nice if that bug was eliminated.

Wow. That was helpful! Especially the New England context!

When I open a saved project, I can’t interact with the objects I saved, only the landscape. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Wow! I knew if I come to school I'd learn something good. Thanks for sharing.

Hi @TheRevitKid, thanks for the great video. Is it possible to use a custom curtain panel with an angled grid? I'm tying to create a panel with reveals at panel joints (using voids) and am getting an error that Revit can't make the panel. Are we restricted to using system panels with an angled grid?

I like to don’t use any material at all in families and use object style subcategories. Then all materials are only managed in the project by object styles. It needs some naming convention for object style names but you can reuse object styles on different families.

Always a short video with just the thing I need! Thank you!

I am brand new to Revit and want to build a simple platform for a steel shed. It's a truss system using 2 x 6's and Plywood. I want to frame the supporting platform and apply 6 sheets of plywood. The frame would then need to be 12 x 16. This video is great but would like to know how to create the framed trusses you start with.

hi can you make turotial for false ceiling of 600 x 600 mm calcium silicate false ceiling with gypsum borders to avoid cutting tiles. and the calcium silicate tiles are 100 above the gypsum border with vertical gypsum boards closing the opening

Thanks for the tutorial, this just gave me a other good point to show my boss to switch over to revit and not go with power point and other sheets for the sales department.

Awsome !!!! So much potencial !

amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

loved this guys, thanks Jeff and crew
