  • Playing with Revit’s Head

    I love making Revit think it’s capable of more than it’s capable of doing. Messing around with some rendering techniques.  What ya think?  Now if I could only remember how I got it to do this… :/

  • YADWTOTD

    That’s, “Yet Another Day Without a Tip of the Day” in case you’re interested.  I’m afraid you college kids and Reviteers in need of a Massing series may have to wait until we get into our new house.  We’ve opted out of hiring professional moving help which means I get to work four jobs for…

  • Revit TotD – 11.19.2010 | Oooo Shiny….

    Yeah, between being sick.. again… packing and, well… being sick, I haven’t quite been able to put together a good string of TotDs this week so instead… HEY! What’s that over yonder?!!?! *points* *click for enlarged goodness!* 100% Revit rendering awesomeness…. minus the RPC plants :/ More tips next week, till then, thanks for stopping…

  • Revit TotD – 11.17.2010 | SPF100 Minimum

    Hopefully you spent all weekend playing around with those surfaces and components and patterns cause today we’re going to dive into some of the features behind each of those, beginning with Divided Surfaces! So as you saw from our last TotD, divided surfaces is the first step to take in turning your mass into something really fun…

  • Get with it Microsoft…

    How come my Apple only uses this much RAM to run Revit?… 😉 Yah.. I wish.  I’d like to thank all the Parallels people that make this fantasy more real than it needed to be… xD

  • 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*…
