Chapter 2 ■ Getting Acquainted with the
Revit Interface and File Types
- Revit file formats


"Revit File Formats
There are five Revit-specific file formats:
RVT
RFA
RVG
RFT
RTE"

"RVT: Revit File
Each Revit project is saved with the file extension .rvt. When you save a project using the .rvt extension, all project information is saved in that one file. This file includes all library components used in the project and imported DWG, DGN, or image files. ...It isn’t unusual for file sizes to exceed 50MB or even 100MB. If you want to share your project with another person or office, you won’t need to send them
any files other than your project *.rvt file.

Note that all flavors of Revit (Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, and Revit Structure) use the same file format (.rvt).
If you have linked files to a project, regardless of whether they are DWG or RVT files, you will need to send them along with the project if you are sending files."


"RFA: Revit Family
The RFA file format is used for Revit library elements that can be loaded into a project. ...also referred to as families in the Project Browser. A small subset of loaded families is already available in the templates that come with Revit...bigger library of loadable content...provided...is accessible from the Insert tab, Load Family button. These libraries are starting points, and represent only a small sampling of what is possible to create in Revit.
...library elements have been created in a designated content-creation environment known as the Family Editor. ...Once created, Revit families are loaded into a project, where you can edit and make modifications to them from within the project environment at any time, thus minimizing workflow interruptions."
"Unless you changed the default installation, Revit installs all library objects in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Revit Architecture 2010. This is the location of the default content that ships with Revit, and where the Load Family dialog box will take you."
"You can also...download content from, the Autodesk Seek website. Type in a search term in the Search field in the main toolbar and click the magnifying glass icon. You will be taken to a website where you can search for a wide range of content in various formats, including RFA files."

"RVG: Revit Group
The Revit Group file format was made obsolete with the Revit 2008 release. ...It’s somewhat similar to the Block concept in AutoCAD, but with a higher level of intelligent behavior. ...When a group is saved in Revit 2008 and later, it’s saved as an RVT file. However, groups created in previous versions of Revit that are still in the RVG file format can be used and loaded in a project."

"RFT: Family Template
...used to create custom families. The family templates are hardcoded in Revit. To see the full selection of available templates, from the Application Menu
choose New, Family. ...These templates have embedded behavior and intelligent parameters relevant to the type of object you’re creating. For example, a template for creating a window has a different set of available parameters and behaviors than a template for creating a door. ...If you cannot find an appropriate template for a new object you wish to create (a fireplace, for example), you should use the generic family or a more appropriate hosted family."

"RTE: Revit Template
...preconfigured empty drawings in which standard settings and content can
be predefined so that each time you start a new project using that template, you have a predictable starting point that incorporates your office standards."
"Here’s what you can preset in a template:
Default title blocks used for your sheets
- Loaded families
- Line styles
- Line weights
- Line patterns
- Fill patterns
- Materials
- Units
- Snaps
- Dimension styles
- Temporary dimensions
- Object styles"

"To create and save your own template, open any of the existing template files and save it as a new name. Next, modify the settings, units, fonts, and load library objects that you want to see each time you open a new project using that template."

"Starting a new project in Revit is easy. From the Application Menu, choose New, Project, and Revit will open a dialog box with the following options:

Browse - From here, you can change the default template predefined in the Settings
options and select another template.

Project - This option is selected by default. It means you’re starting a new project using one of the templates selected.

Project Template - Choose this option if you want to create your own template. Under
Create New, select Project Template, and under Template File, select the template that is most similar to what you want to create so that it serves as a basis for the new template. Make additional changes to that template, change settings, add or remove content, and save it under another name."

- Setting up your project environment

"Project Units
...From the Manage tab in the
Project Settings panel, choose Project Units to open the dialog box s...where you can
set the measurement units, rounding convention (number of decimals), and suffixes for length, area, volume, and angle. You can also define the way you measure slopes — in rise or angle degrees — as well as the symbol used for the decimal division (point or comma)."


"Snaps
...define snaps by choosing the Manage tab, Project Settings panel and expand the Settings button to find the Snaps settings. In the resulting dialog box, you can turn the snaps on or off globally, set a variety of snap types, and specify the angular and length increments at which the system will snap.
...Snap Overrides ...during creation of elements. Right-click when drawing a wall, and you can override any of the project definitions for Snap by choosing Snap Overrides and selecting the option you need."

"Close
If an element you’re drawing is part of a chain (connected lines or walls) and is a valid open loop, you can close it by selecting the Close command from the context menu: Snap Shortcuts, Close.
You can access the same function with the keyboard shortcut SZ."

NOTE
"the system is preset to straighten out lines or walls drawn in small angles. This is helpful when creating new projects, but it can be an issue when you’re working with existing projects, especially surveyed properties or old buildings. If you import a .dwg from such a project, Revit will automatically make something like a 0.00005-degree angle into a 0- or 90-degree angle, and this might affect the final precision of your outcome."

NOTE
"Snap is on by default. If you are creating a project of an existing building and are drawing it directly in Revit, turning off Snap will be helpful; otherwise, Revit will force you to round angles to the first minimum snap angle defined."

"Line Weights
Revit has a global setting for displaying line thicknesses on the screen and the printed page. Revit provides independent control over cut and projected line weights on a per-category basis, giving you a great deal of flexibility. For example, cut lines for walls are often represented with thicker lines than walls in elevation. You can choose from 16 preset line weights that range from very thin to very thick.
Revit does an excellent job of presetting these line weights to produce a good graphical display of your model on the printed page. We don’t recommend manipulating the dialog box shown in Figure 2.82; however, if you’re unhappy with the print quality of the line weights, you can access the values in this dialog box and make changes by selecting the Manage tab and in the Project Settings panel, click Settings and then click Line Weights."

"Object Styles
Line colors and styles are defined in the Object Styles dialog box.
To access this dialog box, select the Manage tab, and in the Project Settings panel click Settings and then click Object Styles.
...each Revit element has an assigned line weight number that corresponds to what is defined in the Line Weights dialog box. The line weights chosen for Projection (elevation) and Cut can vary depending on your requirements. You can also define line color and line pattern for each category here."

"Options
The Options button in previous versions of Revit was also located under Settings, but in the new Revit 2010 UI it has been moved to the Application Menu.
...you will find a variety of other options for using Revit.

The tabs for this function include the following:
General - ...set your save-reminder intervals and your username. By default, your username is the same as your Windows login name.

Graphics - ...you can change some of the settings for your graphics card and the screen colors in Revit. ...by default has a white screen with black lines (the inverse of AutoCAD). ...specify selection and highlight colors, and
enable anti-aliasing for 3D views.

File Locations - ...stores the location of your default paths for templates, user files, and most important, paths to your family libraries. The path you defined for your Revit families is the one that you will be linked to when you choose the Load Family option, which becomes available upon selection or creation of any of the Revit elements (try Window as an example). You can add new links to personal library folders as well.

Rendering - ...shows you the default installation path to the new rendering library,
used when you render views. ...also where you can add additional material libraries,
as well as licensed ArchVision (photorealistic rendering entourage) content.

Spelling - ...allows you to specify various settings for automated spelling and indicate the dictionary that you want to be used. You can leave the default Revit dictionary or switch to a Microsoft Office dictionary, change the language settings, and add other dictionaries.

SteeringWheels - ...offers various controls over the visibility of the SteeringWheel,
its size and opacity on the screen, and some additional settings, such as the Zoom and Orbit settings. You can also access these settings by clicking Options in the Wheel context menu (the Options dialog box opens with the SteeringWheels tab selected).

ViewCube - ...allows you to set the appearance of the ViewCube as well as some
behavioral and scene settings..."

Chapter 2 ■ Getting Acquainted with the
Revit Interface and File Types
- Overview of the Revit user interface
- Modifying and personalizing the interface
- Selecting objects and navigating views
- Using keyboard shortcuts

"...user interface (UI) of Revit 2010 is dramatically different from that of its previous version. ...entire family of Autodesk products, has moved to the “ribbon” paradigm..."

"The ribbon UI in Revit can be changed and customized per your needs. This feature is
new in Revit 2010. A full customization of the UI is still not possible; however, you can make certain changes to it, such as modifying the panel order or moving a panel off the Ribbon to your desktop. Revit 2010 supports working across multiple monitors."

"change the order of the panels within the tabs and also undock them from the
Ribbon so they float in the workspace and are visible at all times. With multiple monitors, you can move these panels from screen to screen."

"Revit, you can undock the Project Browser and make it float over the drawing area."

"Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are the fastest way to work with Revit. The shortcuts assigned to the existing Revit commands are unfortunately not as obvious in the new UI as they were previously. You have to hover over a tool and wait for the tooltip to appear in order to see the assigned shortcut, which is described with two uppercase letters. To change the automatically assigned shortcuts, edit the Keyboard Shortcuts.txt file located in \Program Files\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010\. This location is unchanged from previous releases of Revit. You will have to restart Revit after changing the keyboard shortcuts in the .txt file."

"Tab - ...similar to the Cycle command you may know from AutoCAD. It allows you to cycle through various elements near the cursor when more than one is present. ...useful when you’re dimensioning because it allows you to cycle through various references of the elements dimensioned (dimension to wall center instead of wall face; opening of a door
instead of outer frame; and so on). The Tab key is also used to select chains of connected
lines and walls."

"Shift+Tab - ...reverses the default order in which the Tab command cycles."

"Ctrl - ...used to add multiple objects to a selection at the same time."

"Ctrl+Tab - ...will cycle through open views. Use this to quickly move from view to view."

"Shift - ...some elements in Revit are constrained to move horizontally or vertically only. Revit gives you visual clues indicating which way a selected element can move. You can remove this constraint by holding the Shift key while repositioning the element. ...some elements can move in any direction by default, but holding the Shift key while moving them constrains their direction."

"Delete - ...used to delete selected elements from the model. ...also use the Backspace key to delete elements."

"Ctrl+Z - undo"

"Ctrl+Y - redo"
"Multiple undo operations can also be performed from the quick-access toolbar using the list of recent commands. Dragging the mouse down this list undoes all selected commands in one step."

"Spacebar - ...mostly used to cycle through rotation of an element during or after placement."

Chapter 1 ■ Understanding BIM
- Tips for Getting Started in Revit

"a few pointers to help you get started.

"Begin with the end in mind. When you begin any project, planning is always a good way to start. ...forethought about your process, workflow, and desired outcome."

"Get your project and office standards in place early. ...If possible, get your standards in place before you begin a project. ...Once you nail down your standards, they can be easily applied to your project using Transfer Project Standards."

"Remember that the first project you do in Revit is a change in methodology. you’re leveraging technology to help you change the way you approach design and documentation. Don’t expect the process to have the same workflow as it did in a CAD-based system."

"One of the most important rules to follow as you begin your project is to model the building as it will be built, but keep in mind that you do not need to model every condition threedimensionally. Use Revit to get the essential dimensions and building form coordinated. You can then embellish the model with 2D details to convey the fine grain."

"Model correctly from the beginning. We can’t stress this enough. As you refine your
design, it’s critical to model correctly right from the beginning so you don’t have to fix things later. ...It’s good practice to plan ahead, but
remember that Revit will allow you to make major changes at any stage in the process
and still maintain coordination. If you are still in early phase of design and do not know the exact wall type, use generic walls to capture your design intent; changing these later will be simple."

"Get information into the project as soon as it is known. ...design change is largely managed by the software itself. ...a great deal of flexibility in both your design and documentation. Take advantage of this shift in the process, and add information to your model early. It can be in the form of more detailed content or showing the material construction of your wall system. ...you can change all this information much more quickly and easily than you ever could in CAD, so don’t assume you’re locked into the information you displayed early in the design process."

"Plan for better communication among team members early in the process. ...Revit’s single-model environment forces a much higher degree of team communication between, not only the architects, but also the structural and mechanical engineers."

"Don’t try to model everything. ...Typical workstations aren’t capable of handling all the data of a building in model form. Additionally, few projects have the time in their schedule...In the beginning, err on the side of simplicity. It’s far easier to add complexity to your model later on as you gain experience and confidence than it is to troubleshoot over-constrained parameters early in the process. Start with the
big ideas: walls, openings, roofs, and so forth. Work your way down to a comfortable level of detail for both you and your computer."

"Organize your team. A BIM project team includes three basic technical roles.

Building designer. This is the person or team whose primary responsibility is to figure out what the project will look like and how it will be made. They create walls, floors, and roofs, and locate windows, doors, and other building elements.

Content/family creator. The family creator’s primary role is to create the parametric
content in the Revit model. This is typically someone with 3D experience who also
has a firm understanding of Revit and Revit families. The families, as you’ll see later, have parameters that can control visibility, size, color, proportion, and a number of other things.

Documenter. This role supplies the bulk of the documentation. It consists of drafting
some of the 2D line work over portions of the 3D model to show detail, adding annotations and keynotes, and creating details."

Most important tip of all, don't be afraid to ask for help. Or at least look for it online.

Chapter 1 ■ Understanding BIM
- Types of Elements in Revit

"
Types of Elements in Revit
Every parametric object in Revit is considered a family. ...The categories are divided into two primary buckets: model categories and annotation categories."

"organizes all the data in the model using building industry-specific classifications. ...manages relationships among classes of elements as well as their graphical display. ...fixed list of categories...and a generic category to which unusual, nonstandard elements can be assigned. Every element...belongs to one of these fixed categories."

"Model categories include all physical object types typically found in buildings. All 3D families will use one of these categories...elements that don’t fit into the Revit categorization system, the generic model category can be used."

"Annotation categories are all the annotations, symbols, text, and other 2D data added to a view to describe how the building is to be constructed. ...annotations are view specific and appear only in the view they were created in."
"To view all the model and annotation categories, select the Manage tab and from the
Settings panel, select Object Styles. ...Below each category can be many subcategories. ...elements. you can add or remove subcategories when creating or editing families. The beauty of this system is that you can control the visibility and graphics of each subcategory independently. This allows you to use different line weights for different subcomponents of families.

Controlling the Visibility of Elements
"Instead of using layers, Revit uses object categories’ view-specific settings to control how a drawing looks. The Visibility/graphic Overrides dialog box,...lets you control visibility of categories on a view-by-view basis. For example, instead of putting door handles on their own layer so they show only in high-scaled detailed views, Revit has commands to control the visibility of elements per view. If you don’t want to show the fine-grained details of an element, such as door handles and hardware, you can change the level of detail for your view..."

"Families in Revit
Independently of whether it’s a model or annotation category, a Revit element (from now on, family) can be a system family, a component family, or an in-place family.

System Families
"Examples of system families are walls, roofs, floors, ceilings, stairs, railings, ramps, and mullions. To create a system family, you must be in the project environment (you will not be able to create system families in the Family Editor). To make new, additional types of these families, you need to duplicate an existing family of the same type and modify it. So, to create a new wall type, for example, you must duplicate an existing wall, change its name, and then change the properties of the wall."
"...you cannot save a system family to a shared library as a
standalone component, it is possible to transfer these families between projects. To reuse system families from one project to another, select Manage ➔ Transfer Project Standards, then choose the category you want to transfer."

"Component Families
Component families (sometimes called standard families) are created outside of the project environment — still in Revit, but in a specific environment called the Family Editor. Component families have their own file format extension (.rfa) and can be stored or edited as separate files independent of a model, and then loaded at any time into a project."

"In-Place Families
In-place families are custom objects that are specific to a certain context within the model. A complex railing fence on a site is an example of an in-place family. ...Avoid making in-place families if you plan to reuse the family, or have multiple instances of it in the project."

Introducing Revit Architecture 2010, BIM for Beginners: Notes #1

Introducing Revit Architecture 2010, BIM for Beginners
Chapter 1 ■ Understanding BIM
- A Brief History of Architectural Documentation
- Advantages of a BIM Approach
- How BIM Is Different from CAD
- Why Revit?
- Revit Concepts

I skimmed these first three chapters as I have had a good start with the native Revit tutorials. I suggest reading them if you are starting fresh with the program.

Here are a few notes of items I discovered that I either found to be significant moving to BIM from 2D CAD or didn't learn through the Revit intro tutorials.

"example, in Revit, there is no way to accidentally place a window into the ″wall″ layer. In a BIM world, layers become obsolete"
Wow! As a CAD manager, this is just astounding and exciting. No more endless debates over layer names, color settings or lineweights.

"Revit is the most technologically advanced BIM application. Currently, a number of BIM applications are on the market, provided by a host of different software vendors. While most other BIM applications in today’s market are based on technology that is 20-plus years old, Revit was designed from the ground up as a BIM platform to specifically address problem areas of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry"
I can't say if Revit is the most advanced, market share pushed me towards it. Interesting nonetheless.

"the name Revit comes from ″Revise Instantly.″"

"Revit has embedded logical relationships among elements, so that when one is modified, all related objects follow the change."
"If for some reason this automatic behavior is not to your liking...and do not want to have existing conditions be affected by new construction...Hover the mouse over the end of a selected wall, right-click, and choose Disallow Join from the context menu. Only that one wall will be modified, and the others will not be affected.
You can also lock elements in place to prevent unintended consequences."

"User-Defined Rules
Revit allows you to define and lock these relationships with constraints: explicit dimensional rules that keep elements locked to one another."
Any element can be locked in place or rules can be set for items placed such always keeping a door jamb 4" from the adjacent wall.


to be continued...

Starting New Revit Training Book

I finished all of the tutorials under the Revit help menu. I was looking forward to starting the "skill builder" set of tutorials, especially the "Conceptual Design Environment Tutorial" set of videos. They are turning out not to be tutorials in the truest sense. They show you methods but they don't walk you through each command or even where to find them exactly.

So, now I am abandoning them and starting with new training book. It's entitled "Introducing Revit Architecture 2010, BIM for Beginners". I plan on going through this book then continuing with one of the Mastering Revit Architecture 2010 books. Probably the one by Paul F. Aubin.

So far this blog has just been a log of what tutorials i've studied and when. I hope to change this by including personal tips and limited commentary to hopefully supplement the chapter or material being studied.
