Nice session . (Regarding the family type property preview (in project enviornment), It is always the active family type while saving the family.)

Thanks for the great discussion. I like Revit for architecture compared to AutoCAD but it's always surprising how many things have to be completed with Revit hacks.

The hacks should only be those ones focused on design of the built environment, never project documentation like fake generic annotation call outs and fake generic annotations that look like keynotes. Since people ask for 3D visualization of the whole site, and not having any landscape architects that do Revit where I am at, I feel like I end up doing a lot of their work for translation from 2D CAD.

Regarding slab to topo is this plug-in better than using the dynamo method?, which is one of the only things I’ve tried with dynamo btw
@TheRevitKid

It started as a Dynamo tool and Lauren shared that on her blog. I don't know if its better but it is probably easier and more stable. ;)

Best practice for creating topo from point cloud?
@TheRevitKid
@TheRevitKid 2 жыл бұрын
Not really many great ways to do that. YOu can make a mesh out of it ... or bring it into a program that will clean it up. I think Civil 3D or Infraworks might be better at doing so.

Easy, you don’t even need dynamo, just xcel spreadsheet, format it so it is only x y x coordinate in the first three columns, then you go to massing and site, file import topography from .csv.

Why does "out of the box" Revit really need to rely on third-party add-ons to do the heavy lifting that industry needs to be productive and competitive? For example, when was the last time anyone saw significant changes to the standard topo tool set offered? Get your shit together Autodesk, at over $4k/yr for a single seat license, this really isn't good enough.

Honestly, in my humble opinion, it's because it is a single program trying to do EVERYTHING. Jack of all trades, master of none... Type of ordeal.

what about even blender or UE4 or UE5? seems like w/ the right setup you could really go nuts w/ the level of detail and iterate on a dime with those packages, then bring the revit model in

This plugin gets you working as close as you can to making Revit a usable tool for landscape at the moment. There's 2 major hold issues that need to be resolved by Autodesk however and that's hatching and making topography actually work, probably not using mesh.
@TheRevitKid
@TheRevitKid 3 жыл бұрын
Those tools are great mesh modeling tools for sure... but they are NOT good documenting tools.... The hardest part about landscape architecture is the organic nature of the forms but they also need to be represented 2-dimensional (for now)....

@@TheRevitKid Like Lauren said, use Model likes or a DWG for the real contours. I haven't gone down this path just yet but I believe in the latest versions of Revit we can filter lines (I think) so my theory at the moment is use filters to colour the 3D lines per height so they can be checked as well. Most people having to document in Revit are doubling up work at the moment using CAD and Revit, far from ideal. I'll hope for some modifications inside revit to make it actually usable so a total switch can be made. Revit is still great for many things in landscape, but some things it's just plain awful. "I just made that sloped organic path 100mm wider".... thanks!!

I bet developing BlenderBIM could be a competitive solution. Much more powerful modeling tool than Revit out of the box, and you can make all sorts of parametric trees with geometry nodes out of the box.

I’m sorry you feel that way. I, for one, learned a few things about best practices for roads and sidewalks, an interesting take on using floors for walls, using rooms for planting plans, and more … plus, if you think you’d find value in the addin but don’t have the budget for it, Lauren has all of the major tools as dynamo scripts on her blog 100% for free…

@@TheRevitKid Your guest has done an excellent, even artful job of making revit do something that it wasn't designed for, but I find it hard to believe that an experienced user like yourself learned those things from this conversation. Thanks anyways, I appreciate the effort it takes & the difficulty of putting out good content, this one just missed the mark for me.

It's for people who have to do landscape architecture in BIM. It's a growing requirement of larger projects where every discipline is required to produce a Revit model.
