  • Revit TotD – 11.12.2010 | Divide and Conquer

    Wasn’t that a nice break?!  Now back to what we were talking about… what were we talking about?  Oh yea, CDE!  So we’ve had a quick run down of creating masses in CDE and also of cutting holes in them.  You know how to adjust the forms using reference lines and points.  You can join, […]

  • Revit TotD – 11.10.2010 | Mis-Right-Click

    So a small break from the Massing series just for today.  I need a quick post so I can concentrate on some other errands and I ran across a fix for one of my greatest foes in Revit for quite some time: the dreaded MISSED RIGHT CLICK!!! So if you’ve worked on complex wall projects […]

  • I didn’t want to leave anything out…

    In solving the ultimate riddle of residential architecture, I’m being very thorough in my thought process…

  • Revit TotD – 11.8.2010 | Piecing it all Together

    Today’s tip is going to borderline a Revit tip and a general modeling tip. I wanted to round off the form and void massing portion of this series by making sure we know how to actually use these tools! So today I’m going to go over a process that is used by… well probably every […]

  • Revit TotD – 11.5.2010 | MOAR VOIDS!!!

    I can’t believe that last video took the entire 5 minutes to show you how to cut a solid!  It’s so much easier with a gas powered chainsaw… >_>  Anyhow, let’s continue our study of voids.  This is a new little tool available in 2011 that allows you to cut holes in solids using *gasp* […]

  • Rudolph’s Cannon Chapel Sketch

    Beginning work on revitizing some old school projects.  This is a quick sketch massing of the Cannon Chapel I used for precedence on a church charette I did along with some plans and elevations drawn prior to the charette for a separate project. Here is the precedence study on the site of the charette:

  • Oh yes I did…

    Take that Sir Isaac Newton… if you can model it in Revit, you can build it… right?

  • Revit TotD – 11.3.2010 | What gets bigger the Moar you take away from it?

    No, this is not a post about James Bond… So you’ve experimented around with creating forms and can even *gasp* control them unlike you ever thought was possible in Revit.  This thing you have created is starting to look like something you would have used 3DS or Maya to mak ein the past; but now here you are in […]

  • Revit TotD – 11.1.2010 | Provide References

    So now that you have a little taste of how to create those basic modeling forms let’s look a little bit deeper into how those forms are made and can be manipulated.  Here we’ll look at the difference between model lines and reference lines in CDE and why you want to use one over the […]

  • Sketching

    Here’s a little something I see on a nightly basis and thought I’d finally model it in Revit and see if I could make it look the same.  Need to work on the spacing of the lights I think…
