In my previous post (Creating Complex Family Shapes in Revit: Introduction _June 7, 2010), the Beer Mug example was modeled in Revit Architecture 2010. However, from here on, I’ll be using Revit Architecture 2011 (RA 2011) to take advantage of its new features and enhancements.</p><br /><p><span></span></p><br /><p>This post will deal with my firsthand account of RA 2011 Family editor tools in the creation of the Pool Table Set found on my website <a href="http://littledetailscount.com/index.php/products/revit-family-bundle-pool-table-recreation-games-game?PHPSESSID=df2760ad7dd50ffb17ba2cf25240c8be">(https://www.littledetailscount.com)</a>. As I explain some of this latest version’s features, I’ll show you my modeling setup as an example. Later on, I’ll present annotated isometric views of the pool table with explanations on how it was modeled.</p><br /><h3>Summary</h3><br /><p>RA 2011 is a huge improvement that addressed a lot of issues from the 2010 version. I recommend you upgrade to this latest version because you’ll be able to work with less clicks. Aside from the enhancements to the Ribbon interface, a lot of cool features has been added. You may have already read about them in numerous articles and internet blogs. We’ll take a closer look at some of these features relevant to this post as outlined below:</p><br /><p><strong>A. Significant changes to the family editor tools</strong></p><br /><p>1. The improved Ribbon Interface, Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and Tab Behavior Display<br /><br />2. The Modeless Properties Palette<br /><br />3. The Modify Tab<br /><br />4. Visual Enhancements</p><br /><p><strong>B. Some Rendering Issues with RA 2011:</strong></p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">1. Carpet & Fabric_Velvet materials<br /><br />2. Glass_Clear material<br /><br />3. Metal Screen material scaling</p><br /><p><strong>C. How the Pool Table was Created</strong></p><br /><p><strong>D. Conclusion</strong></p><br /><h1>A. Significant changes to the family editor tools</h1><br /><h3>1. The improved Ribbon Interface, Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and Tab Behavior Display</h3><br /><p>With RA 2011, it only takes one click to get to a lot of tools. By default, the QAT now includes Thin Lines, Close Hidden Windows, and Switch Windows. When you’re in edit mode, the Work Plane panel also shows up on the right side of the Draw tools.</p><br /><p>To make things even more efficient in my everyday workflow, I added the following tools (Figure 1) to my QAT:</p><br /><p>• Model text<br /><br />• Materials<br /><br />• Form Tools<br /><br />• Purge Unused<br /><br />• Load Family</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-1.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-1a.png"><img title="Fig 1a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-1a.png" alt="" width="597" height="162" /></a><br /><br />Figure 1</p><br /><p>In Family modeling, the most frequently used tabs are the Home tab (where the Form tools are located) and the Modify tab. By having the commands of the Form tools in the QAT, I have a one-click access to them while in the Modify tab. This setup works well when you set your contextual Tab Display Behavior (Application Menu> Options > User Interface) to ‘Stay on the Modify tab’ (Figure 2).</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-2.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-2a.png"><img title="Fig 2a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-2a.png" alt="" width="366" height="472" /></a><br /><br />Figure 2</p><br /><p>You’ll also notice that I relocated my QAT below the Ribbon. This means less mouse travel to my frequently used tools. Unfortunately, this also takes away about a quarter inch of screen space as everything has to move down to accommodate the QAT. To compensate for this, I changed my Taskbar setting to display small icons, thus gaining about 1/8 of an inch space. I then always make sure that the Revit window is maximized. And check this out, when you right-click on the blank space to the right of the Ribbon (Figure 3), you can take out the check mark in the ‘Show Panel Tiles’ that pops out. This hides the name of the Ribbon panels and moves the Ribbon up by 1/8 of an inch.</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-3.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-3a.png"><img title="Fig 3a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-3a.png" alt="" width="520" height="234" /></a><br /><br />Figure 3</p><br /><p>The QAT has a new customization dialog box accessed through the drop down arrow as shown below (Figure 4):</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-4.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-4a.png"><img title="Fig 4a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-4a.png" alt="" width="303" height="432" /></a><br /><br />Figure 4</p><br /><p>Sliding your mouse down to the ‘Customize Quick Access Toolbar’ takes you to this window (Figure 5) where you can add, remove, move or change the order of the tools:</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-5.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-5a.png"><img title="Fig 5a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-5a.png" alt="" width="319" height="378" /></a><br /><br />Figure 5</p><br /><p>Here’s a closer look at my QAT (Figure 6) showing added spaces between tool groupings. You can add as many spaces as you want between each group to make them easier to see. I’ve also relocated the default 3D view to the far right:</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-6.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-6a.png"><img title="Fig 6a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-6a.png" alt="" width="614" height="36" /></a><br /><br />Figure 6</p><br /><p>Please take note that the Project file and the Family editor share the same QAT. My QAT setup may not work for you as I deal mostly with families.</p><br /><h3>2. The Modeless Properties Palette:</h3><br /><p>What this means is that the Properties Palette can now be left open or docked in any location while you’re modeling. It can also be left floating on your second monitor. This is the much awaited timesaver feature that users have been clamoring for. When you first open a template or family, the palette (Figure 7_A) shows a blank default setting of a generic family. When you pick a tool, the palette content changes into the properties related to that tool (Figure 7_B). When you place a component, it changes into a type selector (Figure 7_C) showing the component’s properties and parameters. This is also where you’ll find Edit Type:</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-7.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-7a.png"><img title="Fig 7a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-7a.png" alt="" width="581" height="339" /></a><br /><br />Figure 7</p><br /><p>A cool feature of the palette is when you enter information into a text field. Since there’s no OK button, all you have to do is hover your mouse away from the palette after you finish typing and your entry gets accepted! You don’t even have to press Enter.</p><br /><p>On my custom family template (more on setting this up below), I left the properties palette on its default location which is on the left side docked above the Project Browser. Unlike project files, most family files don’t contain a lot of views and sections so the project browser size can remain as is. Having a consistent location of the panels and palettes helps you get to your tools right away after you memorize where they are. I recommend you keep them where they are all the time. You’ll see the practicality of this when you start creating complex shapes.</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px"><strong>How to create a custom Family template:</strong></p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">1. Choose a frequently used family template and change its settings to suit your needs. This may include the scale, custom lines with different colors, maximum backups, default preview, panel arrangements, etc.</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">2. Save this rfa (your only file format option in the Save dialog box) inside the folder where the Templates are located (C>Program Data>RAC 2011>Imperial Templates). Accept the “Family1″ name.</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">3. Exit Revit and locate the folder where you saved your rfa file. Change the “Family1″ name into: “A_Name” (for example: A_My Generic Model.rfa). The prefix A_ will bring up your template to the top of the alphabetized listing.</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">4. Finally (important), select the <strong>rfa</strong> extension and change it to <strong>rft</strong> (A_My Generic Model.rft) After you do this, you’ll get this message (Figure 8):</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px"><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-8.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-8a.png"><img title="Fig 8a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-8a.png" alt="" width="456" height="169" /></a><br /><br />Figure 8</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">Click Yes and your new custom family template will be created (the rfa icon will change into the rft icon). Now whenever you start a new family and click New…Family, the <em>New Family-Select Template File</em> dialog box (Figure 9) will pop out showing your custom family on top along with the other family templates!</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px"><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-9.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-9a.png"><img title="Fig 9a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-9a.png" alt="" width="423" height="508" /></a><br /><br />Figure 9</p><br /><h3>3. The Modify Tab</h3><br /><p>The modify tab can be accessed even without selecting an object. When an object is selected or any of the form tools are clicked, the related panels appear on the right side. The modify tab’s location now stays in the same place all the time.</p><br /><h3>4. Visual Enhancements:</h3><br /><p>On the visual styles button of the view control bar, two styles had been added: Consistent Colors and Realistic (see figure 10):</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-10.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-10a.png"><img title="Fig 10a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-10a.png" alt="" width="534" height="197" /></a><br /><br />Figure 10</p><br /><p>Consistent Colors: As the name implies, the model is shown with consistent colors regardless of how they are oriented in different angles on your screen (isometric or perspective). There will be no dark areas which you get when you’re in the Shaded with Edges views.</p><br /><p>Realistic: Forms that have been assigned materials will display textures in real time as you zoom, move or rotate the model! Here is how the new view styles compare to the Shaded with Edges view and the mental ray render (Figure 11):</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-11.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-11a.png"><img title="Fig 11a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-11a.png" alt="" width="615" height="607" /></a><br /><br />Figure 11</p><br /><p>Of course, there is no comparison to the actual render! With Realistic views though, users can see actual material textures without having to render the family inside a project file. Aside from the textures, this view also displays glossiness, transparencies and close approximation of material colors. I found it useful in checking the direction of the grains on my pool table wood material. Without it, I would have had to load the family inside a project and render it from there to check the wood grains.</p><br /><h1>B. Some rendering issues with RA 2011:</h1><br /><p>In converting all my 2009 & 2010 families to version 2011, I discovered that some materials don’t render properly in this latest release. I’ve already communicated these issues with Autodesk and they are currently working on it. They don’t have a timeframe for a fix but assured me that we’ll be informed of any updates. Here they are with solutions you can apply:</p><br /><p><strong>1. Carpet & Fabric_Velvet materials</strong></p><br /><p>In previous versions, we have the ability to use a single color instead of an image file for certain materials. For example, when you choose a carpet material like Carpet Beige, you can either choose the default image or change it to a single color (See Figure 12 below):</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-12.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-12a.png"><img title="Fig 12a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-12a.png" alt="" width="327" height="389" /></a><br /><br />Figure 12</p><br /><p>The result is a carpet with a different color (for example: Red)) but with the textures and properties of Carpet Beige.</p><br /><p>In RA 2011, the Render Appearance tab has been revamped. The format to change the material’s properties has been changed. New to this version is the Image Fade feature shown below (Figure 13):</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-13.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-13a.png"><img title="Fig 13a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-13a.png" alt="" width="332" height="521" /></a><br /><br />Figure 13</p><br /><p>This new Image Fader enables you to adjust the mixture of the base color and the diffuse image. This is a neat and useful addition. However, when you load your 2010 family (with a carpet material that was assigned a single color), the Image Fade defaults to 100, meaning you see 100% of the image instead of the color. Take a look at this conversion (Figure 14) from 2010 to 2011:</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-14.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-14a.png"><img title="Fig 14a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-14a.png" alt="" width="607" height="240" /></a><br /><br />Figure 14</p><br /><p>As you can see, the material/color image I selected in 2010 did not transfer properly in 2011.</p><br /><p><em>Solution:</em> I went to the 2011 Materials (Manage>Settings>Materials), located the specific materials and set the Image Fade to zero. Next, I made sure the image scale and bump is the same as my 2010 settings. That was easy (as my former coworker, Leo Lauer, would say)!</p><br /><p><strong>2. Glass_Clear material</strong></p><br /><p>Compare the two images below (Figure 15):</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-15.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-15a.png"><img title="Fig 15a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-15a.png" alt="" width="613" height="263" /></a><br /><br />Figure 15</p><br /><p>The glass material specified in the 2010 image is Glass_Clear. When brought into 2011, the Glass_Clear material is retained but if you notice, the rendering of the glass appears faceted.</p><br /><p><em>Solution:</em> I could not find an acceptable substitute in the Glass category. However, I did find one in the Glass_Glazing category. In this category, choose the Clear (generic) material then set the transparency to 100% and you’re good to go!</p><br /><p><strong>3. Metal Screen material scaling</strong></p><br /><p>Take a look at these two images (Figure 16):</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-16.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-16a.png"><img title="Fig 16a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-16a.png" alt="" width="609" height="312" /></a><br /><br />Figure 16</p><br /><p>This is a metal mesh filter of a small ‘Tetsubin’ teapot generated from the Metal_Satin Screen material in 2010. When the family was brought into 2011, the scaling I specified did not transfer properly.</p><br /><p><em>Solution:</em> In 2011, I reselected the Metal_Satin Screen material from the Render Appearance Library and entered the scale factor I used in 2010. Problem solved!</p><br /><p>If you encounter any material rendering problems other than these three ones, please contact Autodesk Tech Support.</p><br /><h1>C. How the Pool Table was created:</h1><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-17.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-17a.png"><img title="Fig 17a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-17a.png" alt="" width="415" height="415" /></a><br /><br />Figure 17</p><br /><p>This pool table consist of numerous complex shapes and to explain in detail how they were created will require a very lengthy post. So rather than doing that, I will be presenting annotated views and illustrations with pointers on how each part of the table was created.</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">Note: When you’re modeling and it’s not possible to have the actual object in front of you to measure, then you must somehow obtain cut sheets or do some research work. Knowing its standard dimensions, colors, materials, assembly methods, finishes, etc., will help you plan and visualize a modeling strategy.</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">I cannot emphasize enough the importance of research work. Before I start to model, the first thing I do is get all the information I can get hold of pertaining to the object I’m about to create. Here are a few internet sites I visited prior to creating the pool table:</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px"><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-18.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-18a.png"><img title="Fig 18a" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-18a.png" alt="" width="316" height="603" /></a><br /><br />Figure 18</p><br /><p>In the actual construction process of a pool table, the dimensions of all the parts revolve around the pre-cut slate, the material used for the tabletop. They are specifically cut with the 6 hole openings on the sides and corners. Knowing this, I approached the modeling process by starting with the tabletop and building all the parts around it. The isometric illustrations you are about to see were taken from a worm’s eye view so you can see how the side panels (also called cabinets) were modeled.</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">Note: The purpose of the following outlined steps is just to give you an idea of the modeling process. Although the tone and presentation is instructional, it is not really intended as a step-by-step guide that you can follow along with Revit. My advice for beginners is to learn how to use the Form tools as they will not be explained here nor in my future posts.</p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-1B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-1.png"><img title="Fig 1" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-1.png" alt="" width="600" height="451" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-2B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-2.png"><img title="Fig 2" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-2.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-3B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-3.png"><img title="Fig 3" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-3.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-4B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-4.png"><img title="Fig 4" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-4.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-5B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-5.png"><img title="Fig 5" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-5.png" alt="" width="600" height="889" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-6B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-6.png"><img title="Fig 6" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-6.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-7B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-7.png"><img title="Fig 7" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-7.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-8-New.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-8.png"><img title="Fig 8" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-8.png" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-9B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-9.png"><img title="Fig 9" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-9.png" alt="" width="600" height="889" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-10B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-10.png"><img title="Fig 10" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-10.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-11B.jpg"></a><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-11.png"><img title="Fig 11" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-11.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Figure-12B.jpg"></a></p><br /><p><a href="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-12.png"><img title="Fig 12" src="http://clubrevit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fig-12.png" alt="" width="600" height="452" /></a></p><br /><p>So that’s basically how the pool table was created.</p><br /><h1>D. Conclusion:</h1><br /><p>Modeling this pool table was a simple process of using different Form tools and combining them with Voids to get the desired shapes. The void sweeps and the Split Face tool played a prominent part in creating the intricate details. The leg and pockets were created as separate families and loaded into this pool table family. This is called nesting and the advantage is that they sort of act like an XREF. If you edit one nested component and reload it back to the family, all the instances will update. Nested parts are also easier to move around and won’t interfere with your modeling.</p><br /><p>One of the biggest challenges in creating complex shapes is working on different work planes. We’ll deal with this as well as the following topics on my next post:</p><br /><p style="padding-left:30px">_rendering speeds (Revit 2009, 2010 & 2011)<br /><br />_the Split Face tool<br /><br />_modeling on different work panes</p><br /><p>Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

CFdesign’s comprehensive air flow and thermal simulations capabilities allow engineers to explore and gain clear insights earlier in the design process and deliver projects efficiently with fewer risks.<br /><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="1" style="float:right;margin-left:6px;width:240px"><tbody><tr> <td valign="top"><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.cfdesign.com/Will-CFdesign/Videos/CFdesign-Revit-Workflow.aspx"><span style="font-size:larger;line-height:2"><img alt="" height="151" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/revit/Revit-Play.jpg?w=200&h=151&as=1" width="200" /></span></a></div><br /><br /><table bg border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="width:240px"><tbody><tr> <td><span style="color:maroon"><i><a href="http://www.cfdesign.com/Will-CFdesign/Videos/CFdesign-Revit-Workflow.aspx"><span style="color:#444444">Watch how quickly you can setup a design study from Revit.</span></a></i></span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="color:#003366"><b>Workflow & Revit Integration</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br />CFdesign provides a straightforward flexible workflow with full associativity to the Revit model. This integration means Revit users won’t have to export/import their models.The Design Study Manager is a new utility which helps you organize and keep track of your Revit models and design studies. Now, when launching your BIM model from Revit to CFdesign, this new utility automatically opens and lists all of the CFdesign files it finds on the local workstation. Each design file is presented in a tree view along with associated scenarios when expanded and can be updated without exiting CFdesign.

The push to deliver green solutions with maximum efficiency has added the need to explore new tools. Many firms are searching for the best way to integrate building information modeling (AutoCAD, <a href="http://www.cfdesign.com/Will-CFdesign/Work-with-My-CAD-Tool/Revit.aspx">Revit</a>, MicroStation) with a user friendly design and analysis tool. CFdesign removes the barriers and pains AEC firms have faced for years. Now you can conduct real world testing on your models to understand how design changes can help you achieve environmental objectives and energy certifications.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:200px"><tbody><tr> <td bgcolor="#ff9900"><br /><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" style="width:200px"><tbody><tr> <td><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://www.cfdesign.com/Will-CFdesign/Videos/Methods-for-Solving-AEC-Challenges.aspx"><img align="right" alt="" height="150" hspace="10" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/AEC/DataCenter-Play.jpg?w=200&h=150&as=1" width="200" /></a></div></td> </tr></tbody> </table><div style="text-align:center"><span style="color:maroon"><i><a href="http://www2.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7841302018312591151&postID=1247061524962609037"><span style="color:#444444">Watch how CFdesign can help you<br /><br />make better AEC design decisions.</span></a></i></span></div></td> </tr></tbody> </table><div></div><span style="color:#003366"><b>CFdesign Solves Tough Problems</b></span><br /><br /><ul><li>Thermal comfort</li><br /><li>Data center cooling</li><br /><li>Energy audits</li><br /><li>Solar loading</li><br /><li>Condensation</li><br /><li>Clean rooms / pharmaceuticals</li><br /><li>Smoke egress / LMA</li><br /><li>Occupant Safety</li><br /><li>Thermal bridging</li><br /><li>External Wind Loading</li><br /></ul><br /><br /><span style="color:#003366"><b>Customer Briefs</b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="10"><tbody><tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td height="2" valign="top"><img alt="" height="1" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/spacer.gif?w=150&h=1&as=1" width="150" /></td> <td valign="top"><img alt="" height="1" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/spacer.gif?w=1&h=1&as=1" width="1" /></td> </tr><tr> <td align="center" valign="top"><img align="top" alt="" border="0" height="56" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/AEC/morson_projects_logo.jpg?w=70&h=56&as=1" width="70" /> <img align="top" alt="" border="0" height="83" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/AEC/Morson_car_park.jpg?w=70&h=83&as=1" width="70" /></td> <td valign="top">Morson Projects was asked to produce an analysis of the car park (parking garage) to show that the mechanical ventilation would provide a minimum number of air changes per hour and what is known as an eight-megawatt fire to show that the ventilation system will clear smoke adequately enough within 60 seconds.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.cfdesign.com/Customer-Briefs/Morson.aspx">Read Full Brief</a></div></td> </tr><tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td height="2" valign="top"><img alt="" height="1" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/spacer.gif?w=150&h=1&as=1" width="150" /></td> <td valign="top"><img alt="" height="1" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/spacer.gif?w=1&h=1&as=1" width="1" /></td> </tr><tr> <td align="center" valign="top"><img align="top" alt="" border="0" height="19" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/AEC/Genesys_logo.jpg?w=70&h=19&as=1" width="70" /> <img align="top" alt="" border="0" height="53" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/AEC/Genesys_lab_photo.jpg?w=70&h=53&as=1" width="70" /></td> <td valign="top">Genesys Engineering worked with engineers from Blue Ridge Numerics to deliver an HVAC redesign for the Yale School of Medicine laboratory.<br /><br /><div align="right"><a href="http://www.cfdesign.com/Customer-Briefs/Genesys-Engineering.aspx">Read Full Brief</a></div></td> </tr><tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td height="2" valign="top"><img alt="" height="1" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/spacer.gif?w=150&h=1&as=1" width="150" /></td> <td valign="top"><img alt="" height="1" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/spacer.gif?w=1&h=1&as=1" width="1" /></td> </tr><tr> <td align="center" valign="top"><img align="top" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/AEC/berner-logo.gif" /> <img align="top" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.cfdesign.com/image/legacy/wcfd/AEC/berner.jpg" /></td> <td valign="top">Berner uses CFdesign to assist and accelerate the development of air doors that can stop 30 mpg gusts and work in openings up to 30-ft high.

When they realise their mistakes, it is often too late to redraw the details using drafting lines as too much has been done.<br /><br /><br /><br />Instead you can use this technique to ‘convert’ Model Lines into Drafting Lines and vica versa without the need to redraw anything!<br /><br /><br /><br />There are three methods discussed in this blog<br /><br /><ul><li><strong>Model Lines to Detail Lines in a Project</strong></li><br /><li><strong>Detail Lines to Model Lines in a Project</strong></li><br /><li><strong>Model Lines in a Project to Detail Lines in a Family</strong></li><br /></ul><div>Here is a typical example: The rainwater pipe and other linework on the corner of this building has been drawn using Model Lines. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPXmY8XHfljbb80cxrbvYczbgsiaajLdDepHno5CEo54kTPPGTYGqSgBYjkscBA-ogGeffP1uu3kcaaGb9eTr31XRDo9y0vnFavU-P6fGdYcjzwcrVYv1wZVAAI3p_9PaCzS27s79anIZ1/s1600/ScreenShot112.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPXmY8XHfljbb80cxrbvYczbgsiaajLdDepHno5CEo54kTPPGTYGqSgBYjkscBA-ogGeffP1uu3kcaaGb9eTr31XRDo9y0vnFavU-P6fGdYcjzwcrVYv1wZVAAI3p_9PaCzS27s79anIZ1/s320/ScreenShot112.jpg" /></a></div><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"><br /><br /></div>It now appears in every view and even in 3D.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6m__-96OqMj0dBseUIxAXbL1mO80uBYl5mnxF9spV-87vEX1QhBAKhES5rd5ZrqcjAy44cHiP9Y8pOPp55h3ncFGca8hvKNgZlbXxx0ALY2ELzqHr5Sf1tgd2QdRf__b3v6R6abFsEvF/s1600/ScreenShot113.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6m__-96OqMj0dBseUIxAXbL1mO80uBYl5mnxF9spV-87vEX1QhBAKhES5rd5ZrqcjAy44cHiP9Y8pOPp55h3ncFGca8hvKNgZlbXxx0ALY2ELzqHr5Sf1tgd2QdRf__b3v6R6abFsEvF/s320/ScreenShot113.jpg" /></a></div><div>In this instance we will assume this is incorrect and the user should have drawn the element using Drafting Lines so it only appears in a plan/detail view.</div><br /><br /><div><strong>Converting Model Lines to Detail Lines in a Project</strong></div><br /><br />Select Model Lines and Cut to Clipboard (CTRL+X)<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibp42MiZDX8wU7svtz_PA_D3cfgem_VT_ZG-VZnzE1_GnL7MPhhnVHfSlNgsOpU_7X5ZFTKBwVyczODZm9GX-p-Ncdpa9OMZAJxns-HHXA-tWowxpMizgwfy-NkFJrnVZOkzskQ_LRUPKQ/s1600/ScreenShot115.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibp42MiZDX8wU7svtz_PA_D3cfgem_VT_ZG-VZnzE1_GnL7MPhhnVHfSlNgsOpU_7X5ZFTKBwVyczODZm9GX-p-Ncdpa9OMZAJxns-HHXA-tWowxpMizgwfy-NkFJrnVZOkzskQ_LRUPKQ/s320/ScreenShot115.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPupZJH4c0MS_L_vdpClGDcSkAU8Ih7I7ZpQYJ5_S3XtH8_-gCfPBPqbI8731tf0sDFCXEdQsHlWwoA4DIq8zj-xsBTKzWbyYouwAQP4C_OXp7Ei9K2EV04gwnxTbqMOGyK3ZQvjABcBKS/s1600/ScreenShot114.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="129" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPupZJH4c0MS_L_vdpClGDcSkAU8Ih7I7ZpQYJ5_S3XtH8_-gCfPBPqbI8731tf0sDFCXEdQsHlWwoA4DIq8zj-xsBTKzWbyYouwAQP4C_OXp7Ei9K2EV04gwnxTbqMOGyK3ZQvjABcBKS/s200/ScreenShot114.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div></div><div>Start a new Filled Region and choose Paste Aligned > Current View from the Modify Tab - the lines will appear in the same place.</div><br /><br /><div>Select the lines again and this time, on the Create Filled Region Boundary Tab;

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">En la primera parte de este articulo se describieron los pasos para la automatización de un cómputo de presupuestos. Este procedimiento relaciona tablas de Autodesk Revit con planillas Excel.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">A continuación se profundizará sobre la primera parte del procedimiento, es decir, la preparación del archivo de Autodesk Revit.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Se configurará el procedimiento en una Plantilla/Témplate, factible de ser usada en nuevos y variados proyectos. Esta incluirá todos los materiales a presupuestar (cada uno con un código), y las tablas necesarias para extraer los datos de cómputo del modelo.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Primeramente se debe establecer un listado de materiales, coherente con el método de presupuesto a realizar. Las familias de sistema (muros, pisos, cubiertas, etc.), estarán compuestas por estos materiales.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1512515718"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">De acuerdo al tipo de presupuesto que se pretenda, habrá que considerar el modo más conveniente de computar los componentes en Autodesk Revit. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">El programa ofrece dos variantes de tablas:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">1. Cómputo de materiales: Es una lista de sub-componentes o materiales de familias. Independientemente de la familia a la que estén aplicados los materiales, se computarán sus cantidades. Resulta útil para conocer las cantidades de un determinado material, por ejemplo M3 de hormigón armado o M2 de cerámicos.</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1512515713"><br />

Tabla de planificación/cantidades: Tabla de componentes de construcción. Sin importar los materiales, se podrán conocer unidades, metros cuadrados y cúbicos de cada Familia o Tipo. El caso más común de uso de este tipo de tablas es para contabilizar carpinterías.</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1512515708"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">La elección del tipo de tabla dependerá principalmente del desglose con que se quiera realizar el cómputo. Habrá quienes prefieran computar metros de revoque grueso, metros de ladrillo, etc., y quienes solo midan cantidades de un determinado tipo de muro (tomando un valor único para todo el muro, y no para cada uno de sus materiales por separado). </div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Una vez diseñado el sistema de presupuestos, se editarán los Materiales, las Familias, y sus Tipologias.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Estas se completarán automáticamente al modelar. Existe la posibilidad de generar tablas "por categoría" o "multicategoria". Con la segunda opción, se agruparán todos los datos en una sola planilla. Se recomiendan estas tablas para reducir la cantidad de archivos a vincular posteriormente.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

La cantidad de elementos y campos listados, es directamente proporcional a la flexibilidad del método de presupuesto. Probablemente si el listado es acotado, será necesario completarlo a medida que el proyecto avanza. Esto resulta poco práctico, a la vez que aumenta las posibilidades de error. Cada modificación en la configuración de una tabla, requerirá la re-adaptación de los pasos siguientes.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">A los fines de reconocimiento de cada elemento durante todo el proceso, será necesario un campo de tabla con un valor diferenciado para cada ítem.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Podrá tomarse como referencia el nombre del material o del tipo. Otra posibilidad (recomendada) es asignar una Nota Clave/Key Note a materiales y componentes. Este código se selecciona desde una lista TXT. La correlación de este dato entre los programas, permitirá la automatización de la carga de valores mediante una fórmula preestablecida.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1512515696"><br />

El presupuesto y los cómputos de materiales se actualizan automáticamente a medida que el proyecto varía.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">Dado que al presupuestar se deben tomar en cuenta gran cantidad de variables, hemos planteado un método para automatizar la actualización de cómputos métricos en programas externos tales como Excel. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Ya que cada Estudio realiza sus presupuestos de un modo particular, se ha pensado en un proceso flexible. Con esto se multiplican las posibilidades de cómputo de Autodesk Revit.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">A continuación se explicarán las generalidades del procedimiento:</div><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Se parte desde una plantilla (témplate) en la que están cargados todos los materiales que se computarán. Cada uno de estos materiales contará con un código (Key note/nota clave), a los fines de poder identificarlos durante todo el proceso. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Esta plantilla también cuenta con un cómputo de materiales y una planilla, ya configuradas para devolver los datos necesarios para presupuestar. De esta manera solo será necesario empezar a modelar el proyecto, para que las planillas se actualicen en el modelo. Dichas planillas estarán vinculadas al cómputo de presupuesto de Excel. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">El antes mencionado uso de Notas Clave/Key Note para cada uno de los materiales, permite la adaptación del procedimiento a cualquier tipo de método de presupuesto. Sólo será necesario asignar a cada item del presupuesto (por única vez), el código correspondiente al material proveniente del modelo de Autodesk Revit.</div><br />
<div id="l-zn" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_831478568"><img src="https://docs.google.com/File?id=dhjf338f_6fm6p4md3_b" style="height: 458.107px; width: 648px;" /></a></div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX_qpiZ0OGo"><br />
</a><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">En síntesis, ya no será necesario contabilizar y asignar manualmente las cantidades de cada uno de los items de una obra. Bastará con relacionar los códigos una vez y respetando las preferencias del usuario, para automatizar todo el procedimiento de presupuestos. Cada vez que se refresque el vínculo, se actualizará el precio del proyecto.</div><br />

In the next few days, there is going to be a lot of chatter on the internet about what 2011 will bring to it's users. And for MEP, I think it will be a lot. Enough where processes will change and be more efficient. Over the next couple weeks, I'll be posting videos on demonstrations of some of the new features that Revit MEP 2011 offers and how these features will change the way you work.

Descriptions</a>: "OK, here's the last batch of new information for today. If you're an email subscriber, you should be completely overwhelmed by now and this will ruin any chance of productivity for the entire day. It's probably buried 15 posts back and you'll never make it down there, but the release date is April 8th for all of the Revit products.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />All of the information posted today is copyrighted by me and Autodesk so please do not copy or distribute it. If you're going to repost this or any information, please be sure to give me and Revit3D.com full credit and a link back here.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My day is shot. It's 3:30 am and there is so much more to post about the 2011 products. I've been playing with Revit Architecture and Revit MEP 2011 versions for a few months now and the new and improved ribbon is so much nicer. Congratulations to Autodesk for really making some great improvements. The connectivity to the Green Building side of things will make Revit the King of BIM and there really is no competitive product in the marketplace.<br /><br /><br /><br />The Revit MEP product enhancements are going to really drive the construction market to embrace BIM even more. If you're not using Revit or aren't getting your engineers to use it, THERE ARE NO MORE EXCUSES. Revit MEP 2011 is now ready for prime time. Any engineer who tells you otherwise should not be in business any more. It's time to fully get into BIG BIM or the contractors are going to do your job for you.<br /><br /><br /><br />Enjoy all of the 2011 release information. I wish I could have shared this all with your sooner and I'm not sure why Autodesk made the embargo date so close to the release date, but you can all feel free to complain if you want the information sooner next year.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have a few more surprises in store and I think they'll only be for email subscribers so you may want to consider my daily email updates <a href="http://www.revit3d.com/subscribe">www.revit3d.com/subscribe</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />Have a great day and let's start the countdown to April 8th!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"></div><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"></div><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c9JEaCzmwSs/S6sOWtHHhqI/AAAAAAAAI4Y/uiPZI4_vnFg/s1600/ras01.jpg" style="margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c9JEaCzmwSs/S6sOWtHHhqI/AAAAAAAAI4Y/uiPZI4_vnFg/s640/ras01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="clear:both;text-align:center"></div> <br /><br /><div style="direction:ltr;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:3.6pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:10pt;color:black;">Several refinements and new features were added to the Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 User Interface, with a focus on providing faster access to the tools you want at all times.</span></div><div style="direction:ltr;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:3.6pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:baseline"><br /><br /></div><div style="direction:ltr;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:3.6pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:10pt;color:black;">The new Properties Palette is “modeless,” so you have constant access to both view and element properties, without having to interrupt your design workflow.

The Dissolve Form command will remove the surfaces from a form, leaving behind the valuable defining profiles, curves, and points. In the past, only voids could be used as cutting elements for Boolean operations, and it was difficult to access them again for further transformations. Now solids can be used to cut other solids, so that when the cut is executed, geometry from both forms remains visible. </span></div><div style="direction:ltr;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:3.6pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:baseline"><br /><br /></div><div style="direction:ltr;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:3.6pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:10pt;color:black;">The Active Workplane Viewer is a temporary view that dynamically aligns to the active workplane and displays geometry associated with that workplane.

width="400" height="267" /></a> </p> <p>So is the 25th March 2010 and its my daughters 4th Birthday; HAPPY Birthday Bethan. :-) and after a wink and a nod from Autodesk I can also finally reveal what's new in 2011! No, not the year, but this year's release of Autodesk Revit Architecture. Having spent the last 7 months participating in the alpha and beta program, I am genuinely excited about this release. But then I am always passionate about a new release of Revit, as it opens up new opportunities, gives us new toys to play with and helps drive the adoption of BIM within our industry.</p> <p>So what's in RAC 2011 you may ask? RAC 2011 introduces some new concepts, an improved interface (needed too after the grief that Autodesk got about the Ribbon for 2010) as well as some genuine user feature requests. Whilst this blog just covers the main features it does not cover everything, but I do plan to cover specific functionality in future articles.</p> <h4>Ribbon and UI</h4> <p>So let me start with the interface, as this has been a constantly debated, argued, discussed subject amongst many a Revit user on the AUGI forums. So these are the headliners for UI improvements.</p> <ul> <li>Contextual Tab display </li> <li>Contextual Tab display behaviour </li> <li>Modeless Properties Palette </li> <li>Modify Tab is both static and contextual </li> <li>Modify Tools improvements </li> <li>Quick Access Toolbar customization </li> <li>Resizable Dialogs </li> <li>Worksets and Design Options </li> </ul> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tl9JaUNnI/AAAAAAAABoE/29PopYaWCe8/s1600-h/image4.png"><img style="display:inline" title="image" alt="image" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tl-WpwJ7I/AAAAAAAABoI/bRCBMxzqJHQ/image_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" width="420" height="278" /></a> </p> <p>The most obvious improvement and a complaint I personally had with 2010, was actually getting access to modification tools. 2011 allows rapid access to modification tools, no more clicking backwards and forwards between Ribbon tabs. When you select a tool and start to work with it, the modify tools are constantly at hand. The Ribbon also seems to be a lot faster and there is icon clarity with other Autodesk solutions. The other obvious change is the disappearance of the Type selector from the Ribbon. This is not going to be to everybody's taste; as it now resides in a modeless Properties Palette. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUkLI2oEkDVK5tDYhUmYcEqFB5hl03Uo4f8lUQzgmVDU8EmOnWDhAIT6MzI21eVYTZNulfBOjCRij7dt0fDv6SEPFeI6Rz5OchznyopQMBZYSMM9tXGbeD7uMocDot6wkeGqn6jBzrDd8/s1600-h/image9.png"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px" title="image" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmAO2GiNI/AAAAAAAABoQ/mb1f56MamCw/image_thumb5.png?imgmax=800" width="193" height="240" /></a>The Modeless Properties Palette can remain open or closed. This reduces the need to “click” open the type or instance properties, as settings are always quickly visible. It takes a bit of getting use to and does take up screen real estate, but it can be docked onto another monitor if you have a dual screen setup. After a short time, I found that you do get use to it and access to properties requires far less picking and clicking. If you don't like the PP palette on screen all the time you can hide it with a keyboard short cut, but this then causes you a bit of an issue as the Type selector is no longer accessible, but you can get around this as you are able to add the type selector to the QAT (quick access toolbar). </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-q1RmTncwTAOuQtywzbaThJknZVAeDrC13cSrpmDsBsEWIUpKT94H915VZbZTIituZj1KYZ3RMyKlyRGjsZR9ANm3YNFLPJg-IQIxKc1a3HJdcKQXaGcmgX8zjQ2PhGP6Bl8q-Yi9i44/s1600-h/image15.png"><img style="display:inline" title="image" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQVdt_VHYOsR93ymcf6aftq0u8NKpjTRaQwMrzrnf8fo2RFskrHu-krREdJ3tIN03dC6KAQAg-viRIl35sFdQFWh8-XlLDihdsJEZJpJ9BoQ_-tU-FXbxu0C797xmSUzTy3PSkwNju1JE/?imgmax=800" width="400" height="80" /></a> </p> <p>The QAT is now customisable as it has its own dialogue box which allows you to reconfigure tools quickly if required. Other noticeable changes to the UI include resizable dialogs as well as a workset and design options improvements. The latter can be easily accessed from the main window without having to hunt through various ribbon tabs. </p> <h4>Worksets and Linking </h4> <p>A number of enhancements have been added which will assist those that use workset as well as linked files. A linked Revit model viewed By Host, will set the visibility of linked model worksets which share the same name as your host model worksets to the visibility of the host model worksets in that view. In view Visibility Graphics under the Linked Revit Models tab, linked model worksets can be individually turned on or off . A new Manage Worksets Tab within the Managed Links dialogue also allows you to open or close worksets in a linked model file. These linked management features are an absolute god send and will save you a lot of time when managing large linked datasets.</p> <p>Workset visibility has been given far greater control on a project-wide basis. The Worksets dialog now offers the option to change the visibility of a workset globally. The Worksets tab in individual views has been improved to allow the per view workset visibility to be visible, not visible or to follow the global setting. Trust me, if you use worksets and linked files, these improvements alone are worth the subscription renewal, even in these financially difficult times. Whilst there is still much to do improving Revit at all levels, (please don't get me started on limited site tools, stairs and railings :-) ), workset and linked file improvements really start to help to address the need to define sub models when the Revit model gets too large to handle in one super model. To help with performance , speed improvements have been made and a project which has been upgraded to 2011 will now benefit from a multiple threading thus improving opening times.</p> <p>To support the linked model approach, linked models can now be tagged. A new management feature has also been included which allows the user to track and watch if Tags lose their hosted elements. The Reconcile Hosting command opens up a new browser allowing you to decide what to do if a Tags does loses its host.</p> <h4>Graphic Display</h4> <p>In RAC 2010, Autodesk migrated from OpenGL to Direct 3d. This has allowed further graphic improvements to be made in RAC 2011. If you have a supported Graphics card you will be able to enable Ambient Occlusion, which is accessible via the Graphics Display Options dialog box. Those that are familiar with using visualisation tools such as 3dsmax will know all about Ambient Occlusion. I suppose the best way to describe Ambient Occlusion is that it adds realism to models by taking into account attenuation of light due to occlusion. Ambient occlusion attempts to approximate the way light radiates in real life, especially off what are normally considered non-reflective surfaces. Look in a room at the corners between the wall and the ceiling; you will notice the soft shaded falloff of material colour which is not defined by the sun, this is Ambient occlusion. </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmDvHFyQI/AAAAAAAABoc/5wuMbJxCDSM/s1600-h/image8.png"><img style="display:inline" title="image" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrUJxRc-_sxEOQl8p1MSJ0VsL37Q5089kEnogNNytVT9C-cocTfrVjPpwnmhw1L3SVjdFiBfnLLKpJwdPv7yY68-4-nZgsjP4IgFegKHBZKl7AHZZKNOgQHF0kWLnCuvBtSR5-yq1QE68/?imgmax=800" width="400" height="193" /></a> </p> <p>Two additional view styles have now been added to the View Control Bar, these include a Realistic View which will display materials and textures defined to elements in real-time. You also have a Consistent Colours view styles, which displays colours in a constant manner across all faces of the model in a 3d view.</p> <p>Realistic View</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmGaS3OUI/AAAAAAAABok/cYQLTyd5vyE/s1600-h/image13.png"><img style="display:inline" title="image" alt="image" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmHdZQW8I/AAAAAAAABoo/oS1ntvGS3cs/image_thumb7.png?imgmax=800" width="400" height="193" /></a> </p> <p>Consistent Colours</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmIuEeS6I/AAAAAAAABos/gm9uRR3YPiA/s1600-h/image18.png"><img style="display:inline" title="image" alt="image" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmJaF2weI/AAAAAAAABow/YwnPSHcJh7Y/image_thumb10.png?imgmax=800" width="400" height="193" /></a> </p> <p>To get the real benefits of these new graphic features you are going to need a supported graphic card. If you have a relatively new card which supports Direct X, you should be ok. My laptop is a Dell E6400 latitude with Windows 7 (64bit) and a Quadro shared graphics and it worked fine. </p> <h4>Conceptual Massing </h4> <p>If you have read my blog in the past, you will know I am a big fan of the conceptual massing tools introduced in RAC 2010. However, one annoyance in 2010 was the loss of the sketch mode when creating forms. Rest assured it totally confused the users in my office! So after listening to user feedback, Autodesk have reintroduced the sketch mode back to forms created with lines. You are able to edit the profile of a form and the geometry automatically updates. This works with revolves, extrudes, blends and sweeps. If you choose to lock profiles the change is made to the top and bottom profiles. This is a excellent addition and combines the best of old school massing with new school massing approach. </p> <div style="padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;display:inline;float:none;padding-top:0px"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;display:inline"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEKmQ91ci2c&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQj4iRQAxMUTTjqdnUN9aQVs9e2JWF8MoQhEWGiPXJGEN3K-6D4nKyUyT6qwB_QdUqAOJ1-oD7b5v63q37B0xPab5FKnWMH9VsEOK57PuHL9GCdhQJFnlEs2BrXHLCO_UJK0OPeFJxnZQ/?imgmax=800" style="border-style:none" alt="" /></a></div></div></div> <p>You can now dissolve a form using the new dissolve function. Say you build a form from lines or reference lines and you decide you want to take it back to the line work it was originally created from. Just select the form and choose dissolve. Once a form has been dissolved the surface created is lost, however the profiles and path remain, allowing you to edit these and recreate the form after you have made any adjustments. </p> <div style="padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;display:inline;float:none;padding-top:0px"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;display:inline"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN4ARVryPCU&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmKkLvDPI/AAAAAAAABqQ/P_fT9UJ5kBM/video69af12c5a1b8%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style:none" alt="" /></a></div></div></div> <p>A new feature called the workplane viewer has now been included, making the editing of profiles within a form a lot easier. This is a floating dialog <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmLY0I1JI/AAAAAAAABo8/Ksn0qN7mu5c/s1600-h/image70.png"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px" title="image" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmL47sTtI/AAAAAAAABpA/YtfybvPXZws/image_thumb48.png?imgmax=800" width="250" height="181" /></a>box that provides a dynamic view and when adjustments have been made to a profile they are automatically adjusted within the main form.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div style="padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;display:inline;float:none;padding-top:0px"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;display:inline"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GziV7igu0NE&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmMm0LJzI/AAAAAAAABqU/cdIfaf_rTV0/videoa73b2067e7f1%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style:none" alt="" /></a></div></div></div> <p>The divide surface tools introduced with the new conceptual massing tools in 2010 has been further enhanced and you can now divide a surface by intersecting levels, reference planes and lines drawn on a reference plane.</p> <p>RAC 2011 also sees the introduction of a new family called the Adaptive component family, to be honest this is one of my favourite features in 2011. It expands the conceptual massing tools further and I am really looking forward to using this new family type within projects. Described by Autodesk; the Adaptive component resolves the issues related to stitching border conditions of divided surfaces. It also address the problems of creating and placing pattern component panels (triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, etc.) on non-rectangular and non-evenly spaced grids. The adaptive components can also be used to create a repeating systems generated by arraying multiple components. When you place a point in an Adaptive family you can define whether <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmNX-XIhI/AAAAAAAABpI/vyimrz-FbXk/s1600-h/image343.png"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px" title="image" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmN5VlRTI/AAAAAAAABpM/BjHAedMXfjk/image34_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" width="250" height="212" /></a>it is a placement point and these can be numbered accordingly. Placement points can then be connected together with 3d linework, creating a sort of rig. When this family is placed into a project or a conceptual massing family, as you place the points the family will automatically flex and adjust based on the placement points. If you take a look at the images you hopefully see what I mean. Above is the new adaptive point family; below you can see the resulting family in use to create the frame structure.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmO8JizMI/AAAAAAAABpQ/9RVnQn_N0CQ/s1600-h/image281.png"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" title="image" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmP5YXR8I/AAAAAAAABpU/CjKiYrYWCWE/image28_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="350" height="332" /></a> </p> <p>One feature which may go unnoticed is the ability to do a solid - solid cut on two forms. described as follows; You can cut out one solid from another, but the resulting form is not a geometric combination. When the Cut tool is used on 2 solid forms, the result is separate geometry. It certainly makes for cleaner geometry.</p> <p>To improve the 3D working environment, you can now use the align tool in 3d as well as 2d. You can use a node, vertex, edge, surface form or level as your target, then all you need to do is pick then element you wish to align.</p> <div style="padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;display:inline;float:none;padding-top:0px"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;display:inline"><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaHPWaCPZmk&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmQgnaeoI/AAAAAAAABqY/X5uPA4b0qbA/videoa87cdc51217b%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-style:none" alt="" /></a></div></div></div> <h4>Parameter enhancements</h4> <p>I regularly tell users that it's the "I" in BIM which is one of the most important assets of the BIM process. So being able to extract data from your Revit model so that it can be used<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmRH8ZF-I/AAAAAAAABpc/dI8DLMc7HMI/s1600-h/image71.png"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px" title="image" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmRgNypUI/AAAAAAAABpg/giMoDJimSXw/image_thumb49.png?imgmax=800" width="250" height="249" /></a> for other functions is an everyday occurrence for the users I work with. So to improve the data pipeline workflow, Autodesk have introduced what is referred to as a Reporting Parameter. These are a special parameter type which do not actually drive forms or geometry, but instead will report its own value driven by a dimension in the family model. What this actually means is that a dimension can be uncovered and reported in a way that can be used for downstream applications. A simple user case maybe that you need to report the width of a wall for a door or window frame in your schedule. Until now this was not possible, but with a reporting a parameter assigned in your door or window family you can pick up the wall width instance so that the reporting parameter can report the width of the wall and this can be scheduled.</p> <h4>Rendering</h4> <p>Mental ray rendering was introduced with RAC 2009 and generally it's been a hit with Revit users. Certainly the quality of renders I have seen has been superb. But to some extent quality was limited by desktop power, with rendering being limited to 4 cores only. This meant, that you may have a super all bells and whistles workstation with processors multiply , but the 4 core throttle resulted in Revit no<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmS6oHBCI/AAAAAAAABpk/Ni6CWzs6udA/s1600-h/image72.png"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px" title="image" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmT5R9eZI/AAAAAAAABpo/WaQ0ML7xAbI/image_thumb50.png?imgmax=800" width="250" height="189" /></a>t being able to make use of all the workstation power at your disposal. In 2011, this restriction has been removed. In 2011, Autodesk has also made updates and modifications to material editor interface as well as deploying a common material library, you can also now use an image as a background when rendering.</p> <h4>Everyday wish list items</h4> <p>I guess one can assume that Autodesk must have a room somewhere in the factory which is full, from floor to ceiling with user feature requests for inclusion within future releases of Revit. Whilst we all have our favourites, development time, budget and technology restrictions often mean that they are not immediately viable. However, RAC 2011 has included a number, which will be real time savers in my opinion. We now have Repeat last command, which can be accessed off the right mouse contextual menu or enabled via a keyboard shortcut. The contextual menu also now lists the last five commands you have used. </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY8y9VsB1JtXHdiae1CPPC4HKk5W0sW4rcq7gz9gGl10RY_R797TMdCoh98QybhZ8QUAxCWiCnqMU7JZ_WbtVsdhgMPSrxbHZk1Tw3JRSAgScneR5gtCeaKMxKXfLr8dZ6EWheJSBEI4o/s1600-h/image73.png"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" title="image" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmU6v3E1I/AAAAAAAABpw/j5KK83LwrNM/image_thumb51.png?imgmax=800" width="240" height="110" /></a> </p> <p>You can now select instances across a view as well as across a project and temporary dimensions can now remember any edits made to witness lines per session.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0-rG8VcN-KUMqtuP8-k45nJNoMJhm_ApvphjxF5aCYqXqiRKWq_VIw4XgozbZ0LyrsznwkgqwwQGUwNszKEpRHgHvvxlarEthxdhf-RIa9cvjo1v_mtw_K0NVVA0wXPyvRRa67ml3JLY/s1600-h/image74.png"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" title="image" alt="image" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmWmvj--I/AAAAAAAABp4/KhfJY0x6qjY/image_thumb52.png?imgmax=800" width="300" height="55" /></a> </p> <p>There have been a number of enhancements made to text notes, with better control of leader placement. Text notes can now be enclosed with a box with the option to change the text margin between the text and box.</p> <p>DWG export from Revit has continued to be a contentious point, with the quality of the output not always meeting expectation. However, it really does depend on what your expectation are. I have always been of the view that whilst the output was ok, it would never be as clean as if you where to have drawn it from scratch in AutoCAD. With this in mind and understanding the benefits of what Revit provides, really a DWG export is just a snapshot in time. But I also realise that there are some fundamentals issues when exporting to DWG. Autodesk seemed to have worked hard in this particular area and models which we had, which refused to export to DWG in previous versions of Revit, now happily export as expected and the graphic fidelity is a lot better. </p> <p>Aligning views in a consistent manner on drawing sheet has also been a general pain in the backside. Those that have come from an AutoCAD background ( I would guess in many cases that's around 95% of us) have found the <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmXl1cP6I/AAAAAAAABp8/r6Ra-kS-gdY/s1600-h/image22.png"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px" title="image" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmYISfDZI/AAAAAAAABqA/RP_ODZbJmFk/image_thumb14.png?imgmax=800" width="250" height="220" /></a>approach to placing views poor compared with how you can align viewports in AutoCAD. You only need to look at the AUGI forums and you will see that users have tried to come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful hacks to solve this issue. Well no need to continue hacking, as RAC 2011 says hello to Guide Grids. Guide Grids are a new element which can appear in the active sheet which will allow you to align elements within and between sheets. The following are valid items which will snap to Guide Grids; Levels, grids, reference plans, model crop regions and schedule extents. </p> <h4>Sustainability requirements</h4> <p>One of the key benefits with BIM is the ability to use the model to meet the ever increasing sustainability requirements. Whether you believe all the discussions about global warming that the governments and scientist talk about, is a matter of opinion. But one thing is for sure, as an industry we need to be smarter about how we design buildings and we need to reduce the energy consumption of our buildings. To analyze a building, typically you need 3D data. <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmZE1uZvI/AAAAAAAABqE/wi4OqDzD_lw/s1600-h/image76.png"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px" title="image" alt="image" align="right" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_QOMx1ZbFOcI/S6tmZ31hRNI/AAAAAAAABqI/aoeDbP-1Kao/image_thumb54.png?imgmax=800" width="300" height="205" /></a> Whilst Autodesk already have solutions like Ecotect and Green Building Studio, there is still a need to have tools within your favourite design package to enable you as the designer to make informed decisions. To support this Revit 2011 now includes a sun path tool, similar to the one found in Ecotect. You can use the sun path tool in solar animations; you can also grab it in a 3D view and interactively drag the sun around, depending where you are in the world, to see the impact of solar shading on your design. This is a great step forward and I look forward to seeing more tools included to support sustainable design workflows.</p> <h4>The End</h4> <p>So that's it folks. A quick round up of what new in Revit Architecture 2011. There are other minor functional improvements in this release which I haven't covered such as the sheet list, family editor tweaks, but I am sure you will discover these soon enough. I hope you found this commentary useful and it gives you a good insight into what will be landing on your desktops any time soon. Now back to the birthday party for tea and cake. :-)</p> <div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11441755-5077376104699842355?l=autodesk-revit.blogspot.com" alt="" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Fuente:http://autodesk-revit.blogspot.com</div>"Juan Manuel Lopez Lamonegahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13236000745373988074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772869193991772528.post-66397947799654681822010-03-24T11:35:00.000-03:002010-03-24T11:35:16.442-03:00Autodesk 2011Estimados les comento que ya se lanzo bajo el programa de <a href="http://subscription.autodesk.com/">suscripcion</a> la version 2011 de los siguientes productos:<br />
