crcas.blogg.se - Revit modeling

(edited ) This workflow is revised below since material quantities and pour breaks depend on correct division of the model and should not be dependent on regardless of joined or not joined geometry.

There are some exceptions, for example, cast in-place walls, columns and beams are modeled to the top of slabs, but with use of Revit ® Join Geometry tool we get it right in the end (as it will be “poured”).

General rule is to model everything the same way as it’s going to be built. Guidelines for horizontal structural elements:

Modeling other (non-structural) walls (in case they are needed for some reason).

Guidelines for vertical structural elements: However, revit is a terrible rendering program, so keep that in mind.Practical guidelines for modeling structural elements in Revit ® include: Rendering/Visualization: You would use the material Appearance to control this using the bump and other channels to achieve the 'grout' look with an image representing your coloring and such. This would show up the grout in a 3D view camera though if you wanted. This is normally overkill for normal 'documentation' but is sometimes used.

Looks like you are a student based on your past posts so I assume you are doing this for an assignment and maybe a 3D visualization or rendering.?ģD hidden line camera view: You could include the grout lines in the model pattern. "Proper" (or at least industry standard) way to handle this would be a model pattern as then covering you material choice with specifications or materials appendix, schedule, etc. change in the future with VE, Design Changes, or ownership direction. This isn't something you would want to model in Revit for a documentation purpose, its overkill, takes too much time, and has a potential to bite you in the butt if the product, size, layout, etc.
