Revit Tip of the Day – by Carl Gibson
Stop putting info in your BIM model!!!
Someone recently told me I need to find the balance between modeling and drafting. I asked them why and their response was “I’M AN AUTOCAD USER DON’T QUESTION ME!”.. no seriously, I have no clue what their response was because I stopped listening once I realized that the reason they didn’t want to model things was because they didn’t know how. So in response to those people who think that modeling is a waste of time, but can’t justify it other than “It takes too much time” (so does a good scotch, but you wouldn’t really want to skimp on that would you?) I have created the following…

Yes! I’m really going to start this back up. A post here, A post there. Maybe one in between. Either way, I’ll be trudging through this series as well as posting the occasional impromptu tutorial post. In the meantime, I’m going to just leave the text that I wrote over 9 months ago and just…

If you don’t know by now, I’m a KS junky… that’s Keyboard Shortcut for you mouse clickers (try it, try typing KS in Revit to see what happens!). So it occurred to me that I should share another quick KS that I use quite a bit. A personal preference of mine is to halftone objects that…

When it comes to Revit, theories on workflow and implementation change on what seems to be a weekly and sometimes daily basis depending how deep into the rabbit hole you are. One such implementation strategy that I’ve long held to is teach the people how to detail first. This covers all flavors of sin in Revit including…

So I’m teaching a quick class on the Revit Interface in my office and I thought I would post the class outline in case anyone wanted a reference guide or something to use as a start for a similar training class at their office. Enjoy and feel free to comment! If you use it, please…

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,…

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
about 1 year ago - No comments
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:

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…
Revit TotD – 10.29.2010 | Studio Project and Revit

For quite some time I’ve been discussing with a friend and fellow designer (Gerry Hogsed) the possibility of starting a series specifically for College students (maybe even some High School students that want to do more than troll the RevitCity chat room). With the number of questions being asked on the forum and in the…
