The only KZbin channel I found for revit who explains in a very good voice and not too fast. It helped me a lot. Thanks so much.

Wow, thanks! So happy it helped!

Awesome man! I am glad you found value, even as an ArchiCAD user ;)

[@baruchba7503]

I really like the concept. I probably would have set the doors in the back of the studios, or in the interior rear side allowing a tree to be planted between the two studios. My reasoning is that the line of sight from the studio closest to the top of the landscape actually looks into the stairs landing, railing, etc.

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I’m a junior interior design student and I have been using revit for the most part of my projects. I know the fundamental things but when it comes to use more complex shapes I get stuck. Do you have a video where you show everything step by step and do more complexed shaped? I will really appreciate it!

This video is amazing! I am just starting to use Lumion and I found this video super useful. Thank you for sharing it!

Amazing

[@irobots0biz]

Great video. Thanks!

[@slytherin5164]

Great tutorial very helpful

[@renatolemus]

I always go back to see this . Is very inspiring. You said it was an in- place mass, but is actually an in-place component isn't it?

[@TheRevitKid]

Correct, in this case I am using an in place component... Mainly because it doesn't need any fancy curves, etc... Same process applies if you used a mass....

[@ngyiming579]

[@han7959]

Thank you very much for this amzaing lesson making modelling easy as Rhino in Revit. But how could you seperate the wall and rood in later process and this will be very important for construction documentation.

[@TheRevitKid]

You would just model them as roofs and walls… it’s really simple actually !

[@han7959]

@@TheRevitKid Thank you for the reply! Do you mean using "Model in place" to mdel and then set them seperatelly as roofs and walls or directly using roof- and wall families in sketch process? In the video around 7:54 I saw the upper part (roof) and the lower part (box) both showed as "Wall 1" in the property panel. How could you deal with seperating them as defferent categories later on?

[@TheRevitKid]

@@han7959 no… the next step after this conceptual step would be to use the Wall and roof system families and either model by face or just manually model them and use the mass as a reference Similar to how I “wrap the mass” with standing seam wall type around 10 minutes.

Revit+sketchup+lumion=effective workflow

[@TheRevitKid]

Kefteris no sketchup here .... not sure where you got that idea ??

[@kefteris89]

@@TheRevitKid it's my workflow, for furniture i avoid revit due to it's time consuming family editor and i take advantage of the vast 3dwarehouse. Lumion combines models from revit and sketchup.

[@zudiekarlbalundo5350]

I have a question as a beginner. Are the foundations enough to carry the loads(live and dead) or can they withstand natural calamities? No hate please. Just asking.

[@need4gears]

Hey Jeff, I've come from the future in 2021 to say you look younger in the future. How come is that possible? hehe

[@skudwoofer]

So where is the part where manufacturing / building drawings get made and load bearing has been applied? How do you know the poles and guy wires are adequate (as an example)? Do you have a follow on video to show the round trip to engineering and back to a building that can actually be built? While you were massing this out, what sort of process do you go thru to ensure the buildings can actually be built and aren't just art? How do you decide what sort of manufacturing methods will be used, such as pre-fab, traditional stick built, acceptable materials, catwalk safety and egress, etc.?

[@TheRevitKid]

You're describing the design process... As mentioned, this is concept design (not even schematic). Moving forward, the process is still very similar. Analyze, design, model it, collaborate, repeat... You're describing the entire architectural process, this is just step one.

[@marty3194]

My job at the moment is modeling Industrial buildings for production with Tekla but in the future i also want to make renderings for architects or other contractors. Ive started to learn revit by remodeling my own house in the program. Video's like this are a great help to get me to the next level. For now im making my renderings within revit but i guess its not powerfull enough to make realistic renderings? Do you also maybe have some tricks or tips on stuff i can study on designing or modeling residential buildings? Ill for sure be checking out the rest of your video's!

[@henryglennon3864]

If you're only able to export a single material white render, you can paint materials over in photoshop. Arqui9 visualisation is a good KZbin channel for post processing rendering techniques

Just subscribed. This is nice. Am starting to learn Revit..any suggestions? Cheers!

[@TheRevitKid]

Cheers! I have over 1200 posts on my blog form the last 10 years with lots of tips and tricks (www.TheRevitKid.com). Definitely check out some KZbin videos and Lynda.com as well. The one tip I will give you is you take a building (one of your favorite buildings or something you can find plans, sections, elevations, and photos of) and force yourself to model it in Revit. Its one of those programs you have to dive in and just break stuff..... Good luck!

[@riadlaribi1817]

hello, how about the structure you used, did you calculate approximately how big the poles need to be ? and what material you are gonna use for a good solid strucure ?

[@TheRevitKid]

Hey Riad, at this early stage I have not calculated the column sizes yet but they are being shown as 4" round steel tubes... I would imagine this would be enough... Once the project progresses beyond schematic those calculations will be done.

[@SuperJV4x]

do you think that someone without an architecture degree or college but expert in Revit with good design sense and competence can make a career designing houses? thanks

[@TheRevitKid]

Not sure what you are asking.... It would be kind of hard to make a career out of something you haven't learned how to do (either through schooling or general experience)... Revit is just the tool here.
