The bad thing about revit is some things -- like this -- are not obvious and/or intuitive, especially when you're working in an office and don't have the time to explore and figure things out. Someone has to know how to do these things. But it's not good enough that they know. They have to also be willing to share their knowledge -- make it publicly accessible. And that's what you're doing. So I thank you.

[@shanteldeklerk2672]

Your videos are so helpful, I have learned more from you than in my CAD classes for my studies. One thing that I would like to know is how you create the truss structure for a round roof connected to a gable roof.

[@matice7179]

This came on the right moment for my school project!

[@matice7179]

Maybe video idea: wood connections (like knife and plate) because you cant bold through wood with the steel tab.

Nice architect Balkan you are so inspiring

[@dimashemetov1617]

You nailed it. Good job Balkan!!!!

[@christebelcoertze7979]

You are my hero!!! Thank you for all your videos

[@RC-jv6ye]

And the best part is that (we) architect just concept this... Engineers have to calculate structure verification 🤣

[@mikebblack]

Hahahaha 😂

[@magdunek]

And surveyors later scan it and model back 😅

[@АндрійЖарій-ш7л]

just perfect, thank you

[@barbeni6054]

Very professional toturial

[@aidilfaizi1096]

amazing tutorial! thanks

[@deathblade909]

I did a pavillion for a town center and engineers hated me. I used dynamo and one issue I found is if you have a double curvature it tends to give errors

[@ertugruldemirtas335]

Nice work

[@onyedikachukwundimako4399]

Hello Balkan, you've got an apt for teaching... it's quite easy to follow your lessons. I still use 2016 Revit primarily because of my laptop. Would it be possible to follow your lessons on steel constructions and that on parametric trusses using my current version on Revit?

[@villapusa4825]

A fun for Architects, a nightmare for Engineers

[@DebraDe-g8i]

Thank you for posting videos and sharing your knowledge! Is there a way to un-curve a curved beam (x-y curve)?

[@rishabmohammed8904]

i liked it when he calls "alien form"

[@mohamedshabana5960]

The best, Thanks man

[@janeideandrade5769]

You are amazing!

[@charliecheah5706]

Are you able to demonstrate a roof that is something similar to this video but the spline is not created from a spline profile to profile going linear but rather a curve or angle profile to profile? I find that I am unable to create a roof from a mass unless it's straight. I've also tried using spline through points method but the shape to shape at each point is curved and wavy and Revit doesn't recognize it.

[@eririvec]

Does the patreon suscription include advanced tutorials as well?

Very interesting!

You save lifes

[@mortezab.a.z4866]

dude, Thank you for all these informative videos. One more thing. How can we put pinned and girder signs on steel beams in Revit?

[@suyeeyap2367]

I followed all the step but some of the beam is off from the wall i snapped, but some worked. Can i know what's ghe issue😭

[@mikebblack]

I am not in front of revit right now to test. That should be fun to play with though. Do you think you can use a beam system on the top chords of 2 trusses so the beam system would also update? I am not used to doing beam systems with 3d snapping lines, so that is way cool.

[@gireshpt1]

Awasome

[@brianandrews3936]

well done

[@chahramag7658]

hello, i have a question. why dont the beams work on curved walls

[@mosholombi]

good work

[@civilsitevisits2.023]

Balkan architect is my food I need some further help

[@ayobamigbadamosi2334]

why are all these things so hidden away in revit?

[@evgeniybulychev]

Great!

[@leonoremaccreanor1178]

Which revit family library do you use to import the beams and the trusses?

[@jennifershirley736]

I have a question. I am trying to create a beam that is on a radius and follows an undulating roof. It allows me to select the curved wall that is attached to the roof surface, but is making a warning saying that it is not visible. I have the structural components on in VG, but I am not having any luck. Do you have any suggestions?

[@ian_winn]

Hello Balkan, many thanks for your sharing. I'd tried what you showing.But, after I've drawn these, I cannot see some of the beams in both of plan & 3D even I tried detail level (fine, medium, coarse). And I notice that the beams I draw according to your way cannot find orientation under properties. And, I find out the solution in Revit forum. Some says that to check cross-section rotation should be zero. But, still cannot solve. Hopefully , someone can solve this problem. Thinks.

[@jeromefahie7744]

Nice one Balkan Architect, this could possibly used to make roller coaster rides or train and tram track. Your Thoughts?

[@balkanarchitect]

Not a bad idea at all, I shall test it out :)

[@yianShineThrone]

Nice way!!

[@vu_derArchitekt]

on your video these are planar curves. How can make un-planar curved beam? my way is making by other software (Rhinoceros) then import to revit as a family. I dont know how to do it natively in revit.

[@lionelmoss5096]

Can we make a lLondon aquatics center roof tutorial happen?

[@zhihuachong]

why am i unable to check 3d constraints for beam system?

[@louayGamer]

I love you man 🙈

[@halakhrisat1563]

thank you very much! you saved me!

[@christebelcoertze7979]

Hi! How do I form a roof structure if i first curved the beam system?

[@themiphz]

that curve is an engineer nightmare

[@herdesign9234]

is this video outdated is it easier now?

[@designereats3661]

👌👌👌

what if 3D constraint doesn't show

Bro Once place Mass Floor On your creacted mass

[@farazanvari7584]

Hello there, Have a question and it would be great if you can help me out please. Start with a circle 200mm 15mm thick in flexible material. Bend that circle in 7 movements in Revit. and also find out how much are bending for each circle.

[@javibentue70]

As an structural engineer, this was hard to watch.

[@nimbona4]

Haha exactly what I felt

[@iamphyize]

No not really, I am a structural eng

[@drcuehidaisu7357]

what do you mean hard to watch?

[@iamphyize]

@@drcuehidaisu7357 like hard to practice, maybe

[@heymoa]

@@nimbona4 Try being an MEP engineer watching these crazy designs! Pipes dont bend!

[@johnlock3640]

I would recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only.
