4 free Revit related applications you can try on Autodesk labs by Edwin Prakoso     If you want to extend your BIM applications, then you have a chance to add more of them for free. At least for limited time. There are 3 applications now available in Autodesk labs. Remember they are technology preview, so probably won’t available for free forever. Project Storm Project Storm is a cloud application for structural analysis. You can use it with Revit Structure. I haven’t tried it because it’s not available for my country. But if you can try it, it’s worth to try. You can analyze your model on the cloud, and continue working using your Revit. The result can be displayed and explored in Revit views. To give it a try, download it here: http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/revit_storm/ Project Spark Project Spark is also not available in my country (yes, I know… poor me). You can consider it as LT version of Revit, Revit with basic functionality. A tease...

Revit Conceptual Design: Working with surface pattern by Edwin Prakoso 1 Comment   We had some Revit conceptual design tutorial before. We covered how you can change the mass faces to building elements . But the default curtain system is kind of boring. We can only use horizontal and vertical mullion. LOS ANGELES HIGH RISE © Salvador Ceja | Dreamstime.com In this post, we will try to create more fancy curtain system. These kind of design is quite popular these days. This capability is added in Revit 2011. So if you have Revit 2010 or older, unfortunately you can’t follow this tutorial. Dividing surface Try to create a mass element. You can create mass in place or using mass family. We are going to work in mass editor environment. Activate modify tool. Now select a face of your mass. Click divide surface from your ribbon. Divided surface properties After we divide the surface, you should notice there are several changes: You can turn on/off ...

Using Revit Adaptive Component for 2D Profile by Edwin Prakoso     We have already discussed how you can create conceptual design in Revit Architecture . Now we will step further by using Revit adaptive components . What we will do now is to create a conceptual mass to create a roof for Tongkonan house, a traditional Indonesian architecture like below. Image source: batusura There are some more pictures you can see here . Or if you want to know more about this Indonesian traditional architecture, you can read it on Wikipedia here . Creating the Path Now let us create a new project, and create a mass. In this example, I created four sketches like below. The sketches are created to provide references to place our 2d profile later. We can create profiles to this mass directly, but as you know, we need to define the planes before we can create the path. And it might not be easy. So we will try an alternative way: using adaptive component. Cre...

Creating Revit Elements by Face by Edwin Prakoso     We have created a conceptual mass with Revit . Now after we can show the project owner how the building will looks like, show the mass schedule, how can we finish the Revit building model? How can we convert the mass to building elements? It is very simple. You can do it in few minutes to convert the faces to building elements in Revit, such as walls, roofs, floors, and curtain wall. Adaptive components are more advanced, but it’s a different coverage. In Revit ribbon, open the massing & site tab. Find model by face panel. You can see four Revit tools to convert the mass faces. Let us try it. Creating Floors First, we are going to create floor. Click floor tool to activate it. Now you need to select the floor face. Just drag a window to include all faces. Don’t worry, it will not select faces except for the floor faces. After we have selected them, click create floor. No...

Using Revit Mass Floor by Edwin Prakoso     We have created two building masses for design alternatives . We created the masses as Revit mass families which are saved as external files, not as in-placed families. Creating them as external families are good practice if you have design alternatives. We are going to see why. In this tutorial we are going to place it to our project, present the design to our customer with several early data: the building mass floor. Placing the Mass Placing the mass is exactly the same with placing Revit components . We use place component tool within our project file. Creating the Revit Project Now let us create a new project file. After you create the project, go to massing and site tab, activate show mass . You can activate it later. But if you don’t activate it, you will not see the mass and get this warning: Placing Mass Now we are ready. Let’s go back to home tab. Click place component to place it. ...
