When inserting windows, do you have a tip to place them to brick cuts?
@RevitSmartКүн бұрын
Generally i'd just use the temporary that pop up when placing a window and have a brick size cheat sheet handy to reference. Can also dimension, lock the dimension & hide it to make sure the window stays in that spot. I've even prepared a 'brick opening plan' for a builder before so it's just a floor plan with a run of external dimensions of bricks & openings.
@levonauКүн бұрын
@@RevitSmart on my plans I run the first ring of dimensions around the house is the openings. Good for a visual check and the brickies can plan their runs.

Hey there! So go to the Massing & Site ribbon and click the little dropdown arrow under 'model site', this should open the Site Settings dialogue box. Under property data, change the Angle Display from Degrees from N/S to just Degrees. Hopefully this works for you but any dramas let me know :)

@RevitSmart2 ай бұрын
Hey Mate, Yeah so you'd be looking for 'junior draftsperson' roles, it's a tricky job because it should really be set up like an apprenticeship. Someone with a cert 4 / diploma has so much to learn once they start working that it's usually worth it for companies to just go for more experienced applicants as it's a hard job to teach and most people are bad at teaching. Generally though a really good attitude and aptitude for learning can go a long way. All the best! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions :)

We subcontracted to a volume builder, and we'd need LH and RH (left and right) versions of each set design we created. I used to charge at least 4 hours to mirror a project because I used to use the normal mirror command and redimension and move view boxes etc. It was a nightmare! I ended up subcontacting this specific task out to overseas as it was time consuming and such a tedious task. I've just picked up more work again dreaded this task - google search brought me here and... thank you heaps!! This definately saves a lot of time and makes this task less daunting! thank you!

It's on the northern side of the property so it gets maximum sun and the other side of the yard is much steeper so would have needed additional earthworks/retaining (and got less sun) and if I put lengthways across the yard the remaining grass would have been too small for kids to run around in.

cool no worries , the sample that are on revit show the tree as just the siloutte of the tree without the line in the middle - playing around i realise it we rotate the tree 45 degree from ur elevation view the line in the center disappears and u are left with just a siloutte of the tree - similar to what u get in autocad working drawings @@RevitSmart

Did those glass fencers seriously core drill without putting down a template to ensure the core drill doesn't slip when starting a hole? I don't care how good you are it's a sure fire way to have an accident damaging tiles that will need to be replaced. I do glass pool fencing with my brother and I really don't like the way they install glass either. Those Glass Mates look cool but they're expensive at $80 each and while they make adjusting the height and level of the glass easy the rubber on their feet make it harder to adjust the line of the glass, and being small made from aluminium I question how well they will keep glass stable with wind. Putting the spigots onto the glass first and lifting them in is also an archaic and inefficient way of doing it, and it looks like they had panels lying on their side and tops which risks damaging them along with risk of damaging the face by lying it down. No string line running over top of the glass in the middle to help ensure it's straight, I don't care how good you think your eyes are a string line helps immensely. Also looking at the two photos after they grouted they clearly didn't fill the grout up to the top of the hole leaving a gap that looks upwards of 10 mm, that's not good and will let water rest inside the holes. The way we install our glass is using timber blocks with packers that is levelled around the entire fence line first, this ensures all the heights will be compliant and level. We place the empty spigots directly into the core holes, cutting the bottom with a grinder if needed, with the cover places. The glass is always stored the right way, so sitting on their bottom, and we simply lower them onto the timber packers and into the spigots. The glass is secured by a custom made extendable brace with a suction cup on the face of the glass and a weight (usually bucket of water) on its base, these braces are done every second panel and each panel is joined to its neighbours using a timber joiner (two small pieces of timber with a screw in the middle) up to and bottom. One secured spigots are screwed in, no fuss measuring where they are meant to go on the glass beforehand and no extra effort needed to flip or rotate the glass or risk damaging the visible sides or faces. Once a full side is put in, or two or three depending on size and number of braces, we run a string line along the top of a side lined up in the middle of either end corner to help straighten and level the glass and as we use timber packers we can easily adjust panels to follow the line. When we grout we also go to the very top in line with the top of the tile cleaning any mess right away with a sponge, sometimes the grout may be a few mm below the tile though but never anything like these guys did.

I think what it sounds like you're suggesting is an area plan which is used as a shadow diagram? Which is a yes that would work, you'd just need to make a new 'type' of area so it doesn't clash with your actual area plan then trace the extents of your shadows in plan and apply areas to them.

You can create it all as one roof without adding voids or any extra roof bits. Raise the roof like you did and using the split tool split the roof you want to be raised (approx 1-2mm) from the valley without a 'defined roof pitch' and then using the join roof command connect the side roofs under to the walls. I can send screen shots. This has been a big issue in years gone by though. Thank you for your video.
