Hi Bin, about the picture the asker showed.. could you show us how to adapt this pattern to that shape and the ridged edges? How do you do the frame structure under a roof like this?

[@BINHE615]

I think we just need to add some more points into the spline through points so we can create the shape similar to that roof. I could be trick for the structure, I think adaptive family might work.

Hi Bin, I've been following your lessons and may I ask how did you learn all of this and maybe some tips on how to get started in this field? Thanks a lot!

Basically, I started to learn Revit by myself in 2014 by following some books. Then I completed a three-year TAFE drafting course, gained 7.5 years of working experience in an architecture firm, and completed a three-year Architecture Bachelor's course. Additionally, I recorded more than 1350 Revit video tutorials. This is how I learned all of this. I think the most helpful parts for me, and probably for you as well, are a proper drafting course followed by some working experience. If you are going to work as a draftsperson in an architectural firm, focus on basic building components and documentation techniques instead of massing, adaptive, and pattern-based families, which are more useful for architectural students.

@@BINHE615 Yes, you're definitely right. I see that you've been through a lot, hence, the impressive video lessons. Actually, I'm leaning towards Revit MEP as my main but I also want to learn Revit Arch as my secondary. That is why your videos are good foundation for us who are just starting in this field. It's practical and straightforward. That's why I enjoy following lessons. Keep it up Bin. I hope you can make videos on building components as well 🙂. Thank you very much!
