And probably how we can use them.Joe Stott recently posted about using Ceilings to model floor finishes in Revit, because the Automatic Ceiling tool finds the ceiling boundaries, er, automatically.īut it would be better BIM if the floor finishes were modelled as Floors. There are more new features in Revit Architecture 2011. Now you can have some structural tools in Revit Architecture too!Īnd if you look in modify tab, you can also see ‘cope’ tool for structural beam. Yes, we are talking about Revit Architecture. For example, you can only select wall sides, but not wall top face. You can do it before, but only as what you do in 2D views. In Revit 2011, now we can easier to align objects in 3D view. This is not a cure, but at least it can helps to align our views easier. You can place the grid by using the tool in view tab> sheet composition panel. In Revit 2011, Autodesk introduce guide grid. We need to align it, stretch it, align it again… etc. You can also change the view name later in properties palette. If you already have the sheet name on the list, when you create a new sheet, you can see the available sheet name as placeholder sheet. You might also want to list all required drawing and the create the sheets later. You can create a dummy sheet here, and the sheet is listed in your sheet list. You might have the detail drawings in AutoCAD or LT, for example. This can be useful if you don’t create every drawing in Revit. The difference is, now you can add a sheet in the sheet list even you don’t actually have it. It is pretty much the same, but not only the name has changed. You can then apply your own elevation tag by changing the setting in manage tab>additional settings drop down>elevation tag. Other samples for system families are: walls, roof, floor families. We can’t save it as external file and can’t edit it in family editor. System families are saved within Revit files, and controlled by parameters. Previously, elevation tag is a system family and we can only change the parameters without able to add our preferred geometry. Now elevation tag is saved as external family file and you can modify it using family editor. After you close Revit and open a new session, witness lines will point back to the default reference. However, Revit only remember this position in a session. Now the witness line will be maintain to our preferred object. But when we deselect the object, the witness line refer back to default objects. In the previous version, we can drag the witness line to refer to another object than the default. The witness line is the temporary dimension reference to a certain object. I’m not really sure what this new feature is called. In graphics tab, you can see temporary dimension text appearance. The button is at the right bottom of the drop down menu. You can open the option dialog box from Revit application menu> option. We can change the temporary dimension size by accessing Revit option. Now we can change the dimension text size to the size that is more convenient to read.
But when we use very high resolution, the dimension can looks so tiny and hard to read. Controlling Temporary Dimension Sizeīefore Revit 2011, some of us might have a problem with the temporary dimension size. This dimension allows you to define the object distance by overriding the dimension value. Temporary dimension is the dimensions that appear when you select an object. Before we continue to some considerable major enhancements, let us see some small enhancements that we can see in Revit Architecture 2011. There are some more nice enhancements in Revit Architecture 2011.
