<p>The below links represent the Family Templates, Project Templates and
Family Libraries provided for Revit 2021 and Revit LT 2021 in all
supported languages and locales.</p>
<p>To apply the content files:</p>
<ul><li>Download the desired content executable to a local location</li><li>Launch the content executable from the saved local location</li><li>Specify the desired content location (Default destination folder
“C:\Program Data\Autodesk\”) and choose Extract. The files will be
extracted to RVT 2021 and RLT 2021 folders when applicable.</li></ul>
<p>Important Notes:</p>
<ul><li>During file extraction you may encounter a "Cannot create…" error
message. This is due to Windows needing explicit Administrator
permissions to overwrite an existing file contained within the
C:\ProgramData location. If you encounter this message, it means that
the files are already present and no further action is needed. If you
would like to extract the entire package and overwrite the existing
files, please run the executable using the "Run as Administrator"
option.</li><li>** Denotes executable which contains content already installed with either Revit 2021 or Revit LT 2021 by default</li><li>* Denotes executable which contains content installed by either of
the optional US Base Families, UK Base Families or German Base Families</li></ul>

This is a reasonably simply improvement. If you are laying out a lot
of walls, quickly being able to trim & extend so they cleanup is an
essential requirement for any designer, especially if they have come
from a CAD background. Over a number of releases we have seen usability
enhancements which have migrated their way to the Revit platform, based
on tried & tested CAD methodologies. For instance if you have ever
used AutoCAD you might have used the fence command. In Revit 2015 you
can now use a selection box to select multiple elements to trim or
extend to a boundary defined by another element. Note; you are still
able to select individual elements to trim or extend. The video clip
below shows the functionality performed on walls, but it will happily
work on other elements such as structural beams. A simply, but time
saving, valuable enhancement.</div>

Sometimes when using BIM for presentation purposes, especially during
the design development stages, the digital outputs can look a little
too polished. In the past an architect might of used hand drawn sketches
& diagrams to convey the design. New for Revit 2015 is the Sketchy
Lines feature which emulates a hand drawn visual style. This feature is
available to be applied to any graphic display style including 3d views,
perspective views, elevations, sections & plan views. <br />
You
can adjust settings for Jitter and Extension to create unique
interpretations of any visual style as shown. The Jitter slider allows
to vary the weighting & clarity of the line as if you had drawn it
with a pen or pencil, where as the Extension slider allows you to how
far lines overlap at intersections. Check out <a href="http://revitcat.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/new-sketchy-lines-in-revit-2015.html">Tim Waldocks</a> detailed overview for more examples of how this feature can be used.<br />

Thanks Daryl! <br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
1. Create a new local file every day and over write the previous file.<br />
<br />
2. Check out and borrow what you need for editing.<br />
<br />
3. Save and sync and relinquish as often as possible or when you leave your desk.<br />
<br />
4. Use Reload Latest to do a one way loading of other peoples changes (if nothing has changed it will tell you).<br />
<br />
5. Don’t leave an open project hanging for any length of time (ie: on the phone, in a meeting, away for lunch etc).<br />
<br />
6. Save, Sync and relinquish and close the local file at the end of the day.</div>
<br />
7. If rule #6 is broken you shall be banished back to the AutoCAD world for EVER !.<br />
<br />
<br />

Keep these in mind and save your BIM Coordinator a headache!

Just in case you missed it, Update Release 3 is available for all 4 Revit flavours (links below).<br />
<br />
Key fixes (as per <a href="http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/Enhancements_List_RVT_2013_UR3.pdf">documentation</a>):<br />
<ul>
<li>Improves stability when using Hardware Acceleration, Graphics Mode. </li>
<li>Improves stability when opening projects which utilize Extensible Storage. </li>
<li>Improves visual fidelity between canvas and printed output. </li>
<li>Improves visual fidelity of hidden lines, MEP pipe centerlines and
haloed gaps when not using Hardware Acceleration, Graphics Mode. </li>
<li>Improves Structural family data integrity during upgrade of project. </li>

I guess the fact that we are receiving a significant update to 2013 <u>after</u> getting 2014 will be a further warning to some users to delay the 2014 rollout...

Revit 2014 - Materials Revisited </h1>
<strong>Dan Stine</strong>, CSI, CDT <br />
<em>Registered Architect and Author</em><br />
The latest version of Autodesk Revit brings several new features. Most notable are the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>Non-rectangular crop regions</li>
<li>Element selection toggles for links, underlays, pinned items, and select by face</li>
<li>Energy analysis on a Revit model, not just massing</li>
<li>Displace Element: new tool to create exploded views in any 3D view</li>
<li>Split segment feature for elevations</li>
<li>“Use Optimized View Navigation” setting that significantly improves performance</li>
<li>Place an Air Terminal directly on the side of a duct</li>
<li>Several enhancements to schedules</li>
<li>Temporary view properties, especially nice for views with a fixed View Template </li>
</ul>
<img height="308" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig1.png" width="550" /><br />
Like last year, this article will cover changes made to the <strong>Materials</strong>
user interface (UI) and workflows that current users need to be aware
of in order to efficiently use the 2014 family of Revit products.<br />
<h2>
Another New Material Browser</h2>
Autodesk listened to their user base
and made several changes to the way we work with materials. The image
below shows the initial state of the <strong>Material Browser</strong>. We are back to a single material browser with tabs for <strong>Identity</strong>, <strong>Graphics</strong> and the assets (<strong>Appearance</strong>, <strong>Physical</strong> and <strong>Thermal</strong>). When <strong>Custom</strong><strong>Parameters </strong>are present, a small icon will appear in the lower left as shown below.<br />
<img height="466" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig2.png" width="550" /><br />
If a material does not have an associated asset, you can click the “<strong>+</strong>” icon to open the <strong>Asset Browser</strong> and add one.<br />
<img height="171" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig3.png" width="362" /><br />
The initial <strong>Material Browser</strong>
view has the standard Autodesk library completely hidden to maximize
the list of project materials. In the image below, notice the toggle to
make the external material libraries visible (item A). Also, the list
of options to sort the material list is nearly identical to last year
(item B).<br />
<img height="462" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig4.png" width="481" /><br />
<h2>
Duplicating a Material</h2>
It is important to know how to properly
duplicate a Material in your model so you do not unintentionally
affect another Material. <br />
In this example, we will duplicate the material, <strong>Carpet(1)</strong>. When this material is selected, we notice that the <strong>Appearance </strong>Asset
(shown by #2) is not being shared with any other materials in this
project. This is evident by the hand with the zero over it (shown by
#3). As with previous versions, we simply right-click and select <strong>Duplicate</strong> (shown by #1) to create a copy of the selected material.<br />
<img height="354" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig5.png" width="550" /><br />
If you <strong>Duplicate</strong> a Material in your model, the <strong>Appearance </strong>Asset will be associated with the new Material <em>and</em> the Material you copied it from! <br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Note:</strong> This is also true for the <strong>Physical</strong> and <strong>Thermal</strong> assets if they exist in the original material.<br />
</blockquote>
Now that we have duplicated a <strong>Material</strong> (shown by #1), notice that the two carpet materials in this example now indicate they both share the same <strong>Appearance </strong>Asset<strong> </strong>(shown by #2, named <strong>Red</strong>). Changing any of the properties for Carpet(2)’s <strong>Appearance</strong> Asset will also change Carpet(1). If you want to change one material without changing the other, click the <strong>Duplicate this asset</strong> icon in the upper right (shown by #3).<br />
<img height="251" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig6.png" width="550" /><br />
Once the <strong>Appearance </strong>Asset
has been duplicated, you can expand the information section and rename
the asset (shown by #4). You can now make changes to this material
without affecting other materials.<br />
<img height="278" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig7.png" width="550" /><br />
Rather than duplicating the Asset you
can also replace it from the Asset Library. This will not change any
other materials. Simply click the <strong>Replaces this Asset</strong> icon shown below.<br />
<img height="235" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig8.png" width="349" /><br />
<h2>
Class – A Lost Feature Restored</h2>
Like the tabs, the ability to filter materials by a user-definable “class” has been returned to the user in the 2014 version.<br />
Looking at the <strong>Identity</strong> tab, we see the <strong>Class</strong> drop-down list. We can pick from this list or type a new class name. On the left, above the <strong>Project Materials</strong> list, we can filter the list by the class parameter.<br />
<img height="458" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig9.png" width="550" /><br />
When an external library is visible, we can also filter by <strong>Class</strong>
as shown below. Notice the added “bread crumb” reference as to where
you are in the tree structure. The drop-down arrows in the “bread
crumb” area helps to quickly jump around. This is much easier than
navigating the tree structure on the left. If you think so, you can
toggle off the tree structure with the icon to the right of the “bread
crumb” area.<br />
<img height="393" src="http://www.aecbytes.com/tipsandtricks/2013/issue67-revit-images/fig10.png" width="449" /><br />
<h2>
Conclusion</h2>
The <strong>Material Browser</strong>
dialog in Revit 2014 is much cleaner and easier to navigate. With this
and the performance enhancements around materials, most users should be
pretty happy working in Revit 2014! However, it would be nice if we
had a command called <strong>Duplicate Material and Assets</strong> to streamline that process when needed.Revit.Kinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02305778992052207279noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450265184220565627.post-28130230492016626172013-03-26T08:17:00.002-05:002013-03-26T08:53:45.945-05:00What's new Revit 2014 (by David Light)<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name">

<h4>
Displaced Views</h4>
Displaced
views are an exciting new feature which literally allows you to rip
apart your model as an exploded view. The clever thing here is that any
displacement of components is only affected in that view & not the
whole model. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SEvxT7jKplA/UVC_YFKQ2JI/AAAAAAAAEvU/sz2pl0vKwmo/s1600-h/1.110.png"><img alt="1.1" border="0" height="163" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cZ3D4d9c92E/UVC_Y-ayKzI/AAAAAAAAEvc/_aydAQ58XGk/1.1_thumb6.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="1.1" width="200" /></a> <br />
The
feature works in 3d views & perspective views only, allowing you to
create diagrammatic assembly views of how the building goes together.
The concept is very easy to implement. Go to a 3d view, select a few
elements, then choose the displacement feature from the modify tab >
create. Then in canvas use the 3d widget to drag the components away
from the main model, it’s that easy. If you are not happy with their
position, a reset button allows you to return the elements back to their
original location. The path feature allows you to automatically draw a
line from the original position of the elements to its displaced
location. You can control the linestyle of this line from objects styles
& visibility graphics. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mbvHqAYnXLI/UVC_ZVv4H9I/AAAAAAAAEvk/QLbxcdk2dZ4/s1600-h/1.39.png"><img alt="1.3" border="0" height="191" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xr2_1QO702g/UVC_aB-b0gI/AAAAAAAAEvs/ll7UeplFZow/1.3_thumb5.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="1.3" width="250" /></a> <br />
Another
thing about the path feature which may not be that obvious is that
there are 2 path style types. A straight line (the default) & a
jogged line type, which is useful when you need to drag the elements
further away from the model for clarity. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-S3X-x29Br5o/UVC_bxEPunI/AAAAAAAAEv0/tD52eDctu24/s1600-h/1.41.png"><img alt="1.4" border="0" height="253" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Nf0LRehGZlg/UVC_dJE0JwI/AAAAAAAAEv8/LFUdJXjTMVs/1.4_thumb1.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="1.4" width="450" /></a> <br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Dockable Windows Framework & Enhancements</h4>
When
you are using Revit you just can’t get enough screen real estate. You
decide to get 2 monitors, but space always seems to be at premium. I am
not sure why, but I guess it’s natural when you have a multi document,
multi view application. In previous releases of Revit you could dock the
project browser, properties palette, system browser & reconcile
hosting browser in different locations but they always docked adjacent
to one another or at various positions around the screen. Revit 2014 now
allows you to dock each window to combine them as tabs at the bottom of
dialog windows. OK, it’s not a massive enhancements & auto-hide
would have been a nice addition as well, but this new window framework
structure will certainly benefit those that are tight for screen space
or utilize a-laptop. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mR-Gc0ukn0M/UVC_dqpz4nI/AAAAAAAAEwE/qz8N9Bud79U/s1600-h/2.24.png"><img alt="2.2" border="0" height="415" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3tSgbqZGDIo/UVC_eXkYeQI/AAAAAAAAEwM/BZ1bP02K-QE/2.2_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="2.2" width="276" /></a> <br />
<h4>
Materials</h4>
So
after last year’s fiasco with the material UI, Autodesk decided to go
back to the drawing board. A good friend of mine & fellow Revit
Guru, Aaron Maller literally lost hours of sleep trying to get his head
around the Revit 2013 material user interface to make it work like 2012!
If you know Aaron, buy him a beer & he will literally rant for
hours about the mess which is the Revit 2013 material UI. I am not sure
what Autodesk were thinking, but I am so glad to say that the 2014 UI is
soooooo much better. Everything is obvious, in a tabbed layout dialog.
The UI is easier to navigate making materials easier to locate &
select. In 2013 the material browser & editing dialog boxes where
separate which, was the core issue to the problem! This made the whole
process of material editing unbelievably frustrating as workflow process
was confusing. With both material browser & editing now merged back
into one single common dialog, stability & common sense has
returned to the material editing process. Yes! <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-2i-BiMuMESg/UVC_fnP3m7I/AAAAAAAAEwU/1PxHdmrA-DU/s1600-h/3.11.png"><img alt="3.1" border="0" height="339" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Krmebh9xhWc/UVC_gccDzEI/AAAAAAAAEwc/rwor2Rto-7Y/3.1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="3.1" width="450" /></a> <br />
<h4>
Non Rectangular Viewports</h4>
So
non rectangular viewports have been on my Revit wish list for some
time. In Revit 2014 we now have this added functionality for view crop
regions and callouts. In essence the user can customise the shape of the
crop region using Revit sketching tools. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-hmxgNIiQrWM/UVC_g4Zw2NI/AAAAAAAAEwk/qfXVant4NvE/s1600-h/4.14.png"><img alt="4.1" border="0" height="138" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-3EEiTUp5P7A/UVC_hyze74I/AAAAAAAAEww/M0CJkPFiVdA/4.1_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="4.1" width="250" /></a> <br />
Select
the crop region, then choose the Edit Crop tool from the ribbon &
sketch away. But before you get too excited, you are still only limited
to rectangular shapes, no curves are arcs my friends. This feature will
work on any crop region including plans, ceilings plans, elevations,
sections, detail & section callout views. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-g46xERBJloA/UVC_icajY5I/AAAAAAAAEw4/T_SIYIzVqcc/s1600-h/4.24.png"><img alt="4.2" border="0" height="147" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-wT5vx0hgQaQ/UVC_jOrgcyI/AAAAAAAAExA/KTSclMFY_OI/4.2_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="4.2" width="250" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-wNNKH7jJ3Ok/UVC_jqRlCDI/AAAAAAAAExI/B_dZuMj1IlA/s1600-h/4.34.png"><img alt="4.3" border="0" height="146" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-w3wWmHgQo-k/UVC_kcCLGwI/AAAAAAAAExQ/nel3_PUQLvU/4.3_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="4.3" width="250" /></a> <br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Room Calculation Point</h4>
Once
you have been using Revit for some time, you recognise that Revit needs
to start to think a little smarter; it should know where things are.
Whether you think software should be smart, is a debate for another day.
But the introductory of a Room calculation point setting for family
types which are room aware such as doors, furniture, casework,
speciality equipment and generic models starts to help. This new
function allows families which are placed in a project to know where
they belong. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dkp8RhJJJR4/UVC_kwXYroI/AAAAAAAAExY/HwRVOn4jrZc/s1600-h/5.14.png"><img alt="5.1" border="0" height="257" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-fcsRG4SQwEc/UVC_lwVXZAI/AAAAAAAAExg/8W7jkX3XZng/5.1_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="5.1" width="400" /></a>For
instance sometimes, a piece of geometry might be located outside a room
or space, which results in no values being reported to where the
element actually is. The new Room calculation point allows the user to
specifically move the location of the calculation point to a desired
space within a model so that the element then knows where it belongs and
can report this when scheduling. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-dBaKSl7rMyg/UVC_me0DCjI/AAAAAAAAExo/kOUW-qrzK4A/s1600-h/5.24.png"><img alt="5.2" border="0" height="252" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-nTY9w99s4LY/UVC_m_tfR6I/AAAAAAAAExw/4p2q0298UZ0/5.2_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="5.2" width="400" /></a> <br />

Schedules</h4>
Schedules;
What would we do without schedules in Revit? They provide us with
access to data in a way which was not possible using traditional CAD
drafting approaches. I would suggest that anybody who is serious about
building information modelling will know the power & possibilities
that Revit scheduling functionality offers. Scheduling gives you access
to data which you can utilise in many, many ways. We can capture
integrated data; we can use schedules to input data. Neither the less,
scheduling within Revit was not without its limitations, but Revit 2014
sees a major overhaul of the scheduling functionality. The interface for
creating schedules in Revit remains the same, although new categories
have been opened up, so we can now schedule architectural columns,
detail items, entourage, generic models, grids, levels, pads, roof
soffits, structural beam systems, structural area reinforcement,
structural path reinforcement and structural fabric area. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-lwiQ-kD3bF8/UVC_nyoFwlI/AAAAAAAAEx4/oalT0uz-1WU/s1600-h/6.11.png"><img alt="6.1" border="0" height="39" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-HgjIynWSLSk/UVC_oo_BhzI/AAAAAAAAEyA/xwtZmdN-rMs/6.1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="6.1" width="450" /></a> <br />
Another
nice minor enhancement is the ability to schedule phases created &
demolished. However, more importantly we are provided with far more
control over how we can format schedules. Text styles can be used to
control the formatting of titles, headers and data within a schedule.
Cells and text appearance can be overridden for cells in titles sections
and columns. The Schedules are far more aligned with an Excel type
appearance, so what you see is what you get, with more alliance between
the schedule view & what you actually place on a sheet. You will
find a new ribbon interface allows you to control the appearance of the
schedule and if you understand the basics of Excel style column
formatting, then this is going to be a total breeze for you to learn and
implement. <br />

<h4>
Selection Enhancements</h4>
I
believe one of the biggest challenges any new user has when starting to
work with Revit is the way you select elements. Those that have been
using Revit for some time, have learned to live & adapt to Revit
element selection peculiarities. But I have seen countless occasions
when Revit newbies select elements & screw things up. No fault of
their own, it’s just a different process from what they are normally
used to. Yet Revit does not make it easy during the transition process.
To improve the way you can access & select elements, Revit 2014 has
introduced a few improvements adding to what has always existed. There
are now four selection options, which can be accessed via the modify
tool or via the status bar. Each options has two states, either active
or in-active. The options included Select Links, Select Underlay
Elements, Select Elements by face, Drag elements on selection. With the
select links function, if this behaviour is not enabled & you use
the modify & move tools, this stops you accidentally selecting links
or CAD linked files. Select underlay elements, again if this is not
enabled, then you can’t select, modify or move underlayed elements. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qy4VPB_OS14/UVC_qQWUuAI/AAAAAAAAEyY/h6S_z6XBFts/s1600-h/7.24.png"><img alt="7.2" border="0" height="49" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-SsAgX-MXhC8/UVC_rFR7UmI/AAAAAAAAEyg/LMrRdD3dEH8/7.2_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="7.2" width="300" /></a> <br />
Select
elements by Face, now this is a biggie for me. With this feature
enabled you can select a face of an element or by clicking at the edge.
This now makes the whole process of editing, say a floor, a lot easier
as you can select the face rather than having to grab a bunch of
elements & filtering. If you don’t have this feature enabled, then
it’s as it was before, you need to click on the edge of element or
filter & select. Drag elements on Selection replaces what was press
& drag. With the feature enabled, you hover over the element, press
down the mouse & drag. Revit will then move the element. If this
feature is not enabled. If you hover over a model elements, AC point,
callout, grid, section, scope box or detail, pressing and dragging will
result in the element NOT moving. It should also be noted that the
settings are stored per user in the Revit.ini, so can be set as part of
your deployment. <br />

<br />
<br />
<h4>
Split Elevations</h4>
Not
sure this is noteworthy, but we have been able to do split sections for
some time. But the functionality has been extended to elevations,
allowing us to do split elevations. Now before you get over excited,
it’s not what you think it is! It the same as the section tool, that’s
it. What would have been very nice to see is the ability to unwrap
elevations to create true elevation representations! <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tj5pTCKDySc/UVC_tOkBwfI/AAAAAAAAEy4/5Wobq07zpH8/s1600-h/8.11.png"><img alt="8.1" border="0" height="236" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-wSNoC8TdJRY/UVC_tuKBTLI/AAAAAAAAEzA/RDiqCGSzYM4/8.1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="8.1" width="450" /></a> <br />
<h4>
Temporary View Properties</h4>
Revit
2013 introduced some welcome improvements to view templates; the
Temporary View Properties feature on 2014 takes this a little further.
In the view control bar you are provided with access to Temporary View
Properties. What this feature does is always you to change the view
properties of a view without impacting the saved view state. The concept
behind this is to potentially reduce the need for working views as you
can quickly enable a Temporary View, apply the view template to better
understand the impact of the view template without actually having to
apply it. You can switch between different view templates which you have
created & once you have finished, just select the reset feature to
go back to the original state of the view. If you do enable the temp
view, it has no bearing on the view for printing & also has
influence on the view when using worksharing. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Perceived Performance</h4>
If
I had a pound or even a dollar for how many times I’ve heard users
complain about how slow Revit is at times, I’d be a very rich man. The
reality is, on some tasks Revit can be slow, but then if you consider
what is happening under the hood, then maybe you might assess the
situation differently. But then again, the reality is we want everything
instantly! We want out email now! We want everything on tap, on demand
& we no longer accept waiting. Over recent years we have seen
multi-threading functionality introduced to some aspects of Revit.
Speaking with the development team, it’s not a case of just flicking a
few switches & tweaking the code to make Revit suddenly become a
super multi-threaded wonder app. It’s a complex problem, due to the way
Revit works. Saying that, one area which Revit certainly needed a kick
was on screen redraws when zooming, panning & orbiting a model. So
the Revit dev team have made some tweaks to improve graphic performance
by automatically turning off graphic intensive effects during view
navigation. This works in 2d & 3d. What actually happens is that the
graphic effects are suspended during camera manipulation & then
instantly redrawn to the screen once you finish the operation. It’s a
little disconcerting at first, but once you get us to it you will value
this improvement, Revit certainly feels quicker. <br />
<br />
<h4>
Multi- selection </h4>
A
minor enhancement, but a vital one, is the proper implementation of the
Bring to Front / Send Back ward tool. This now works as you would
expect it. When you select multiple elements, be it detail elements or
images you can reorder them correctly. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-SvItDsZt-sg/UVC_uE9-_cI/AAAAAAAAEzI/7X-BoaV5xLc/s1600-h/10.11.png"><img alt="10.1" border="0" height="459" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-8rt6rV3LiFY/UVC_vdq1I3I/AAAAAAAAEzQ/JXBTiG5hL5M/10.1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="10.1" width="450" /></a> <br />
<br />
<h4>
Stairs & Railings</h4>
As
this review is typically biased towards the architectural enhancements,
we will look at these. With Revit 2013, we saw the introduction of the
new component based stair as well as enhancements to the railings. Revit
2014 sees the component stairs developed even further with a few minor
tweaks to the railings. The way a stair joins a floor or slab has been
improved. Any precast stair can now be join to a floor or slab. You can
now quash the additional riser created in a plan representation when a
monolithic stair meets a landing. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vr_3ksG8nU8/UVC_v4JlYEI/AAAAAAAAEzY/Kb7FHCiI4KA/s1600-h/11.14.png"><img alt="11.1" border="0" height="292" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-snisSIQuU8k/UVC_wheLlSI/AAAAAAAAEzg/Mow5vQs6R7o/11.1_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="11.1" width="400" /></a> <br />
There
have been developments made to the way you manipulate landings. Each
landing, when selected, has controls to each edge which makes the
process of editing the landing a lot easier. <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-frGk35yQPUk/UVC_xDcRl0I/AAAAAAAAEzo/ChdftByPfS8/s1600-h/11.24.png"><img alt="11.2" border="0" height="252" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-h7AavzJTe0U/UVC_x8BWcRI/AAAAAAAAEzw/NDnnuEr0izs/11.2_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="11.2" width="400" /></a> <br />
When
you draw a stair, two additional location line options are provided.
You now have exterior support left & exterior support right as well
as actual run width settings. These can be set in the options bar when
creating the stair. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dkU3ONRR5LA/UVC_ySOeyeI/AAAAAAAAEz4/nlLkF6gjCN4/s1600-h/11.34.png"><img alt="11.3" border="0" height="68" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fL_TSlMn_8A/UVC_zHNBtxI/AAAAAAAAE0A/8xl6xGQDhic/11.3_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="11.3" width="400" /></a> <br />
Autodesk
put a lot of work into how stairs were represented with the component
based stair. But as ever, things can always be improved. With 2014, the
stair path arrow can now be displayed at top of landing. With the
monolithic stair, the plan representation stair no longer displays an
additional risers at half landings. The way snaps work with stairs also
receives some advancement. For example, we can now have a parallel snap,
allowing us to reference other elements such as reference planes,
walls, beams when you are creating straight stair runs. Another snap
enhancement is the ability to parallel snap to riser lines when dragging
the direct manipulation controls of a landing. All these snaps just
provide a better fit / finish when working with the stair creation
process. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TojOHnwU5hQ/UVC_zVETqZI/AAAAAAAAE0I/5KnpsL33Lyk/s1600-h/11.44.png"><img alt="11.4" border="0" height="312" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-WNZmciIFxsE/UVC_0Dz07OI/AAAAAAAAE0Q/pBcWhhSoet8/11.4_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="11.4" width="400" /></a> <br />
One
of the first things I noticed with component based stairs in Revit
2013, was the loss of temporary dimensions. Love or hate them, they are
fundamental to the Revit modelling process in my humble opinion.
Temporary dimensions are your best friend when making changes or tweaks
to elements. With Revit 2014, Autodesk dev temp have listen to user
feedback & component based stairs get temporary dimensions to
control landing size, component position, stair width & radius of
spiral stairs. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_kMysrPLzrw/UVC_0uSrOyI/AAAAAAAAE0Y/ZSobN6FegRk/s1600-h/11.54.png"><img alt="11.5" border="0" height="293" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eu3AoJD3SyI/UVC_1Hg_suI/AAAAAAAAE0g/p-SQBR_8UPg/11.5_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="11.5" width="400" /></a> <br />
Sadly
we haven’t seen any further enhancements to railings in 2014, but we do
get some defects fixed, such as if end with riser is unchecked the
railing will now be parallel with the stair run. Handrails would
disappear in some views, this has been addressed. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Double Click to Edit</h4>
Maybe,
I’m old school, but 2013 saw the introduction of double-click
functionality to edit certain elements, after many user requests. But
with any enhancements, sometimes there are trip hazards. Users who are
rather trigger happy with double clicking end up going down rabbit holes
as they end up editing something they didn’t mean to. But with care
& precision, you learn to adjust. In line with functionality
introduced into Vasari as well as Revit LT, we can now edit the
following elements by double clicking. <br />
<br />
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 390px;"> <tbody>

</tbody></table>
So
to protect those that may be a bit too hasty when using the double
click functionality; in the options, the user can now customise the
double click settings. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-XtQBiFpGgNI/UVC_2GeTl8I/AAAAAAAAE0o/Gab83hI2iqU/s1600-h/12.15.png"><img alt="12.1" border="0" height="282" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tFaKWhGRUBQ/UVC_3c3FcPI/AAAAAAAAE0w/P-6oX__ydT8/12.1_thumb3.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="12.1" width="400" /></a> <br />
One
other minor, but useful tweak is when editing a parameter in a tag, a
parameter takes priority when you double click on a parameter label. <br />
<br />
<h4>
Point Clouds</h4>
Laser
scanning & data capture is now common place to the BIM process.
There are plenty of surveying firms & even contractors using laser
scanning equipment, as the cost of ownership has reduced, to capture
large quantities of data about buildings as point clouds. This data,
albeit it huge in size, is being used for modelling of existing
conditions as well as cross referencing the Building Information Model
(design intent) against what is built on site. Revit has had the ability
to link in point clouds for some time, but Revit 2014 sees the
implementation of a completely new engine. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-wT7Uty_zeUE/UVC_8vI7LWI/AAAAAAAAE04/Q7sAF0fIxAg/s1600-h/13.11.png"><img alt="13.1" border="0" height="300" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-K6zHoaESYxg/UVC__AHNLqI/AAAAAAAAE1A/oVNJGlIeumA/13.1_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="13.1" width="450" /></a> <br />
What
this is, is the inclusion of the Alice labs acquisition within Revit.
What I have tested is astonishingly fast, throwing a 5 gig cloud data
file around in Revit was amazingly smooth. Linking the point cloud into a
Revit project is exactly the same, but there are more point cloud file
types available. You do need to index the point cloud data structure for
the engine before loading it in. If you select a raw dataset to be
inserted into Revit, you will be asked to index the data. Once indexed
the resulting RCS file can be linked into a Revit project. Crop regions
& sections box tools allow you to control the visibility of the
point cloud. But with visibility graphics you can also override the
colour mode of the point cloud. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Plob0ud15UE/UVDABzc4KpI/AAAAAAAAE1I/D4m3wf7JdBc/s1600-h/13.21.png"><img alt="13.2" border="0" height="242" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-yJPTwjEbEY4/UVDAC7VK0vI/AAAAAAAAE1Q/Ic2wgOuWQKw/13.2_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="13.2" width="450" /></a> <br />
There are 5 options available for colour modes of the point cloud. <br />
<b><No Override>:</b> This will display the point cloud in the colours specified in the source file, if they are available. <br />
<b>Single Color:</b> will displays all points in the point cloud in a single colour that you can specify. <br />
<b>Elevation: </b>will
display the points in the point cloud using a gradation of colour
between the 2 colours (Max Elevation and Min Elevation) that you can
specify. <br />
<b>Intensity:</b> displays the points in the point
cloud using a gradation of colour between 2 colours (Max Intensity and
Min Intensity) that you can specify. <br />
<b>Normals:</b> displays
the points in colours relative to the direction of the point normal (the
direction of reflectance of points when initially captured). For
example, all points with a normal direction "up" will have a consistent
colour. <br />
You can still snap to planes detected within the point
cloud when using snap functionality, but we still have some way to go
before we can start to automatically convert point cloud data into smart
objects. This will come, but for now just being to reference reality
into a BIM environment starts to close yet another gap in the BIM
process. <br />
<br />
<h4>
Some of the other paraphernalia</h4>
So
included below are few other enhancements which are worth knowing about.
Not earth shattering, but they all go a long way to the fit &
finish process of existing functionality. <br />
When you divide a
surface in the conceptual massing environment, you can adjust the u/v
angle with the align tool. You can specify a default divisions to
surface settings, which will be retained in the project for subsequent
uses of the divide surface tool. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-j5xhLvOsT6g/UVDADlcyHFI/AAAAAAAAE1Y/WHSrHsflToY/s1600-h/14.04.png"><img alt="14.0" border="0" height="322" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-v2PeWIwPcwA/UVDAEfQLcbI/AAAAAAAAE1g/5uiqvnARGvw/14.0_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="14.0" width="400" /></a> <br />
This
one I am genuinely excited by. When you import a solid into a family,
you have the ability to fully explode the solid. What this actually does
is turn this into an element which you can actually do something with!
Whilst you can’t actually edit the form, you can manipulate the
resulting freeform elements with direct manipulation handles. You can
also cut, join the geometry with form functionality tools. Now all we
need is Revit to be able to read parameters from other tools! <br />

When
working in the conceptual massing environment, you can use a 3d start –
end – radius Arc, which creates a 3d arc. The points of the arc can be
hosted on reference geometry. <br />
To solve a particular COBie
requirement, you can allow parameters to vary between groups. You can
control values so they are aligned per group type or values can vary by
group instance. <br />

There
are a raft of minor tweaks to interoperability. Substantial work has
taken place to ensure IFC export gets IFC certification in accordance
with buildingSMART international standards requirements. DWF files now
support textures, line patterns, lineweights, colours as well as sun
paths. DWG / DXF export sees further improvements to how Revit
dimensions export to AutoCAD. When a DWG or DXF file is linked into
Revits project environment, import / links only list the views the
imported / linked file appears in via the visibility graphics dialogue
box. If you delete a view with a linked DWG file you can now
re-establish a new reference view, rather than having to remove the
linked DWG file & then re-link it in. <br />
One other minor, yet
critical improvement is the ability to control dual units in dimensions.
Any dimension can display both units say metric & imperial. Just by
simply going to the dimension style & enabling Alternate Units,
then picking the Alternative Units Format you can display two different
dimension formats in a dimension string. <br />

<h4>
Summary</h4>
So
here endeth this year’s round up / sermon of new Revit functionality
for the release of 2014. What do I think? Good…..actually very good. I’m
not just saying that; there is some honest improvements to aging
functionality which needed to be modernized as well as bundle of items
which I would refer to fit & finish functionality. Sometimes you
need that, so you can take stock and improve the whole user experience. I
really like the displaced views tool, that’s a cracking enhancement in
my opinion & schedule functionality update is very much welcomed.
Alignment with how excel works & functions, is very nice. Revit 2014
feels snappier and smoother in operation. But…. there is always a
“but”…..I want to see developments to site tools, nothing as dynamic as
say Civil3d, just the ability to model proper roads, pavements &
terrain. We need better ways to create & control railings &
custom railings. I never thought I would say this, but text formatting!
Autodesk, just do it. We talk up BIM, with plenty that are developing
models, yet deliverables still remain 2d. Disagree with me if you like,
but right now 2d information is not going to disappear anytime soon.
Improving how we link in notes & formatting of text is something we
just need to enhance to improve the overall fit & finish of the
tool. Working in perspective views, can it be that difficult? Those kids
over at Vasari team have cracked it. Non-photo realistic enhancements,
squiggled line presentation views. More graphics card GPU enhancements
& finally its time curtain walls got an injection of love. I don’t
want much do I? <br />

<i><span style="font-size: small;">Today is the 21 March 2014. Last year, the NDA was lifted on Revit 2013
around 27 March. There have been whispers of Revit 2014 features
getting released on the LARUG blog <b>(my quick look found nothing - this was a dead link)</b>, over at <a href="http://revitoped.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/2014-predictions.html">Revit OpEd</a> (shown here:)</span></i><br />

2014 Predictions

<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>
</i></span></u>
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>
</i></span></u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>It's nearly that
time, the time when people starting asking, "When is the next release
coming out?" or "What's going to be in the next release"? The LARUG blog announced
two meetings next week (one in LA live streamed, the other in OC not)
to discuss new features in 2014. That can only mean one thing, that the
media blackout on the new Autodesk products is nearly over. Well it
could also mean that they are going off the reservation and plan to
discuss the new features without the blessing of Autodesk
marketing...maybe but probably not.</i></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br />
So get your batteries charged, your reader cleared out because next week sometime Revit 2014 will trend on Twitter. :)</i></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br />
My prediction for 2014? It will still be called Revit.<span style="font-size: x-small;">"</span></i></span><br />

<h3 class="entry-header">
Revit 2013 Hotfix Available</h3>
A Hotfix for Revit 2013 has just been posted. It addresses issues in two main areas:<br />
<br />
<b>Part Family:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Prevents data loss during upgrade of families containing specific material parameters. </li>
<li>Improves stability and memory usage within graphics display. </li>
<li>Improves vector print output of transparent elements and masking regions. </li>
<li>Prevents accidental data loss during cancellation of the in-place family editor.</li>
</ul>
<b>Revit Server:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Revit would occasionally report that an operation could not be
completed when attempting a worksharing operation after a period of
inactivity, if Riverbed devices were used in conjunction with Revit
Server. A subsequent retry of the operation would then succeed. When
this hotfix is applied to Revit, this behavior is eliminated. No changes
to Revit Server are required.</li>
</ul>
Make sure that Update Release 2 has been applied prior to adding the
Hotfix. Verify that the build number of Revit 2013 is 20121003_2115.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><b>The Hotfix is available here:</b></u></span><br />

Description</h4>
<hr />
<div>
<div class="desc">
This class will introduce Autodesk Revit
software users to the new "stair by component" tool included in Revit
2013. We will review the basic components, how the stairs are assembled,
how to edit and modify the stairs, and how to create a new stair. We
will also examine some stair conditions that can be more easily
addressed with the new tool. We will also will take a close look at some
of the key railing enhancements in 2013 and how to use and apply them.</div>

Stacked Walls and Design Options</h1>

<div class="post-entry">
A client was having an issue working with design
options and stacked walls the other day. When the stacked wall was
selected it wouldn’t allow it to become part of a design option. I
started an new file and had the same issue as he was having, however
when I went to do it again for this post the issue didn’t happen again,
then I realized it had been changed in Revit 2013. I thought I should
post it anyway in case this issue does happen for others still using
2012.<br />
As with any element if the host is going to be apart of the design
option then anything hosted to it must be part of that same option. For
instance all doors and windows hosted in a wall must be part of the
same design option the wall is in. Stacked walls are the same, each
wall type that make up the stacked wall are hosted to the stacked wall
(at least we will say that for this situation), so the stacked wall and
all of the individual wall types that make up the stack must be selected
in order to become part of a design option. For this to happen the
“Tab” key will need to be used to select the individual wall types.<br />

<b>**In Revit 2013 they improved on the entire selection process
for adding elements to design options. Most notably if you select a
host element now everything associated with that element will become
part of the design option. No longer do we have to select all the
doors, windows, etc they just go. HUGE improvement for working with
design options in my opinion.</b></h2>

<br />
These new options which include Background Images, Photographic Exposure, Transparency and much more are all available in various views such Sections, Elevations, Perspective and isometric 3D views for Hidden Line, Shaded, Consistent Colors and Realistic visual styles.
You can also save these settings to a View Template to apply it to other views.
These are all features used to enhance the visual effect of the views but do not require 'Rendering'.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">Testing is complete. This add-in kicks an infinity of ass. If Chuck Norris used Revit - this would be his favorite tool. Caution: y<span style="font-size: 14px;">ou may smack your forehead with your open palm after using this amazing tool <b><i>just one time</i></b>. </span>You will wonder why you didn't think of this. You will wonder why no one at the Revit factory has thought of this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">You will demand this functionality be included with Revit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">Don't say we didn't warn you.</span></div>

The
year is 2012 & the Autodesk fanfare announces the arrival of Revit
2013. The Revit technology has now been under Autodesk ownership for
just over 10 years. Wow! How the world has changed in that time,
politically & economically. 10 years ago I would have never believed
that Revit would have had such an impact on my career. Back then the
original Revit vision was a one stop shop solution for all AEC
disciplines. Whilst the tools for structure were less developed than
those for architecture, certainly I was aware of engineers who were
using Revit. I once heard a blasphemous rumour that a MEP tool set was
being developed for Revit, but to this day, can’t confirm or deny that
was the case. Either way, Revit was seen as a holistic solution that
would serve the AEC industry. Nether the less Autodesk saw things
differently & divided the product up into the 3 flavours that we
know as Architecture, Structure & MEP. But Autodesk have been under
pressure from the industry to look at the way Revit is served up. BIM by
its nature is a collaborative effort & many multi dis firms are
using all flavours of the product. Also, other firms want to use
architectural tools in say an MEP workflow. The industry has spoken,
there should be no BIM silos, so Mr Autodesk, give us the Revit product
which includes all the disciplines! <br />
Revit 2013 will come in its
now well established traditional flavours of Architecture, Structure
& MEP. But it will also come as a complete AEC solution, code named
“OneBox” during development, this will be all three disciplines
installed as one. The official name will just be <a href="http://www.cadac.com/nl/brochures/Documents/autodesk-revit-mep-2013-comparison-matrix-en.pdf">Revit 2013</a>.
In Revit 2013 you have access to all of the platform tools and if you
need to, you can customize the ribbon interface to turn off the
discipline tools you don’t require. This can be done via the options
dialogue box under User Interface. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ckAXmhM0Uac/T3FERdjoIbI/AAAAAAAADRI/mCi-jxCPLvw/s1600-h/rac2013_img24.png"><img alt="rac2013_img2" border="0" height="402" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-mBcdf5pdgks/T3FES1EIGNI/AAAAAAAADRQ/fnDu3fOgHZo/rac2013_img2_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img2" width="400" /></a> <br />
Certain
changes have been made to some tools to allow consistency across the
different disciplines. For instance, the ability to save & load
selection selects is now available in Architecture & MEP, not just
structure. Site tools are made available to the MEP user. The naming
& locations of commands now provides a level of consistency. You
will also discover that this extends to the filtering of categories. In
all products the “show categories from all disciplines” checkbox has
been replaced with industry specific list of disciplines. This ensures
you have more control over the disciplines you are working on. <br />

<h4>
What’s new?</h4>
So
what else does Revit 2013 have to offer? This review will focus on the
Revit platform enhancements as well are main architectural
functionality; I will leave structure & MEP toolsets to others who
are far more capable in providing an in-depth review than me! So as well
as Onebox we have specific improvements to:-<br />
<ul>
<li>View & view templates </li>
<li>DGN v8 import & export </li>
<li>DWF & DWG tweaks </li>
<li>IFC </li>
<li>Materials </li>
<li>Further Construction modelling enhancements </li>
<li>Worksharing </li>
<li>General usability improvements </li>
<li>Massing – repeating & dividing </li>
<li>Visualisation & Graphics </li>
<li>Stairs & railings</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
Get a view</h4>
I
have always been a big aficionado of view templates; to be honest I am
probably guilty for not using them enough. But for view consistency they
are great. However, they had a minor flaw & it seems to catch users
out all the time. If you applied a view template to a view, one assumed
if you made a change to that template it got automatically applied
& updated. Wrong; you had manually reapply the view template.
Fortunately the improvements in 2013 ensure that if a view template is
updated it does indeed automatically update the view. If a view is
controlled by a view template, then it is locked to the template, so
then only way to make changes is via the properties embedded within the
view templates management dialogue. The old school functionality of
applying template properties to a view is still possible, so you have
the best of both worlds. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-f7SNvolgBLo/T3FEU79Ay6I/AAAAAAAADRo/Tdcuw6Simnc/s1600-h/rac2013_img45.png"><img alt="rac2013_img4" border="0" height="398" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-6sGpJ-1RpEs/T3FEVZ81n2I/AAAAAAAADRw/aasXAZe7jJM/rac2013_img4_thumb3.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img4" width="300" /></a> <br />
The
view template improvements also extend to the ability to associate a
view template with view types. This means every time you create a view
or duplicate a view it can automatically have a view template associated
to it. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0VM5T_Xz0AI/T3FEWEsUGMI/AAAAAAAADR4/zCxquGy7hmE/s1600-h/rac2013_img5%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img5" border="0" height="221" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dvduvRzxhts/T3FEcovY9HI/AAAAAAAADSA/Rm0bMFkhy6o/rac2013_img5_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img5" width="450" /></a> <br />
Other
VT tweaks included allow you to explicitly control which discipline
your views are on during creation; plumbing is now an option for a view
discipline in its own right; the underlay orientation parameter can be
configured in a VT; colour schemes parameters can be assigned to views
templates where applicable and when you create a reflected ceiling plan
if the underlay orientation is not defined then it will be set to
“reflected ceiling by default”. <br />
Whilst not exactly a view
template related improvement, more so a work around, but within the
worksets dialogue box there is now a project standards workset for
workset global visibility settings. It’s a really a hack & is not an
answer to proper access & standards control, but in essence, if
this workset is owned by one person, others will be unable to change the
global visibility setting for any workset. I still believe this is area
where Revit falls short, some sort of wider management of standards
really does need to be implemented going forward. But for the short
term, beggars can’t be choosers & this does provide a fix to an
outstanding problem. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-oBU-df00Xig/T3FEde8_bLI/AAAAAAAADSI/pabH2S5DQpU/s1600-h/rac2013_img6%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img6" border="0" height="252" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CdBr9VGwd78/T3FEd__zmHI/AAAAAAAADSQ/2YAbNyOCFa4/rac2013_img6_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img6" width="400" /></a> <br />
<br />
<h4>
Collaborating with Microstation</h4>
Revit
has always been good at collaborating with other “CAD” packages. It has
the ability to import & export various versions of DWG & DXF.
It is also able to import & export Microstaion files. However,
during the 10 years of ownership, plenty of effort has gone into
improvement of DWG & DXF capability but the Microstation export
& import capabilities have remained stagnant during that time. So it
is pleasing to see that Revit 2013 finally gets V8 Microstation
support. A new user interface has been provided; mapping functionality
for Levels, Lines, Line Weights, Patterns and Text & Fonts has been
added to the export DGN workflow; the DGN export settings are retained
& saved in the project file. Therefore, if you need to pass these
between projects, this can be achieved by using Transfer Project
Standards. With regards to importing Microstation files, there is full
support for V8 files; minor tweaks have been made to the V7 algorithm
& there is added support for importing of design model. <br />

<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Collaborating with AutoCAD</h4>
A
release of Revit wouldn’t be complete without some work on the DWG
Export & Import capabilities! Minor tweaks have been made to the
Export CAD formats user interface for DWG/DXF/ SAT/DWF, also views &
sheets are now displayed in alphabetical order when the dialog box is
launched. There is a wealth of improvements with regards to Export &
Import, some which are long overdue. Let’s start with Exporting:- <br />
<ul>
<li>Finally!
Revit Text elements are now assigned to a text style when exported.
This will make it easier to edit multiple text objects at the same time
in AutoCAD. </li>
<li>Images in DWG files exported from Revit no longer report an unreferenced error for the image path in AutoCAD. </li>
<li>The
export of custom hatch patterns has been improved. E.g. export of
custom hatch patterns inside walls (e.g. fire lines) will now be
exported with the correct hatch pattern scale. </li>
<li>Export of underlined text elements from Revit has been improved. </li>
<li>Improved DWG export of filled regions. </li>
<li>Transparency value set on a Revit element is exported as an AutoCAD property on the object. </li>
<li>Options for hiding scope boxes, reference planes, and unreferenced view tags have been added to the General tab. </li>
</ul>
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-vj0WDVK8y_o/T3FEgUzn8KI/AAAAAAAADSo/30QniGMs2kU/s1600-h/rac2013_img84.png"><img alt="rac2013_img8" border="0" height="198" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YmvcfvIwHco/T3FEg3WrQhI/AAAAAAAADSw/jK9vgM-GsuM/rac2013_img8_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img8" width="400" /></a> <br />
With regards to Importing: <br />
<ul>
<li>Improved DWG import of inserted blocks. </li>
<li>DWG files using “Center to Center” positioning will now be imported center to center of the view on the X, Y plane. </li>
</ul>
So
I am going to leave best improvement on importing to last. So how many
times have you imported a CAD file into Revit & seen the message
“lines slightly off axis”? It is such a pain, as these errors almost
propagate like virus & often end up as embedded errors in your
model. They can be time consuming to chase down & rectify. In Revit
2013 we can fix this when importing CAD files. A new tick box option is
provided on the import dialog called “Correct lines that are slightly
off axis”. So during importing of a CAD file, if the option is ticked,
Revit will automatically correct lines that are slightly off axis (less
than 0.1 degree). <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-v_HaB3UUA1o/T3FEhPcmRkI/AAAAAAAADS4/ptRz2jBuhWI/s1600-h/rac2013_img9%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img9" border="0" height="124" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LteTVc4_IRU/T3FEhos46KI/AAAAAAAADTA/kOleBpSXUi0/rac2013_img9_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img9" width="450" /></a> <br />
<h4>

<h4>
DWF Export Improvements</h4>
I
am genuinely sold on DWF! Its light weight, quick & retains the
embedded model data. With Design Review mobile now appearing on the Ipad
as well as Android devices, I hope DWF has a healthy future. But I do
wonder, as it seems to continue to have a head to head battle with
Navisworks. Although they do compliment themselves well, with Navis
being able to link DWF files into its environment. Improvements to DWF
in Revit 2013 mean that phasing information is exported in the DWF
format & you can manually name multiple views / sheets when you
export as a single DWF file. <br />
<br />
<h4>
IFC interoperability</h4>
IFC
short for Industry Foundation Classes, the answer to interoperability
or just a pipe dream? So I have to be honest with you, I have a love
hate relationship with IFC! It’s a great idea, but in the case of
Autodesk, I’m going to kick them hard, their implementation of IFC has
been poor. Even round tripping from Revit to IFC back to Revit produces
total nonsense! But in Revit 2013 I am encouraged by the amount of work
which has taken place to improve IFC import & export. My
understanding is that there were some limitations within the code &
these have been remedied & over time will allow Autodesk to adopt
IFC4 compatibility. Listed below are “some” of obvious the IFC export
enhancements in 2013 if you are interested & these are straight from
Autodesk development team:- <br />
<ul>
<li>2D Plan view export no longer offset from 3D Geometry </li>
<li>True North will always be exported to the IFC file, even if True North is the same as Project North. </li>
<li>Beams never extruded upwards </li>
<li>Better Geometry splitting for elements allows for fewer surface models </li>
<li>Floors, Railings, and Room geometry exported as solids or surfaces (not extrusions) will have a coarser geometry than default. </li>
<li>Doors with nested openings export opening </li>
<li>Assemblies will now export as IfcElementAssembly, </li>
<li>IFC export will no longer silently fail when a filename with multi-byte characters (e.g. Chinese characters) is used. </li>
<li>If
any of the PSet_BuildingCommon parameters are in the Project
Information, we will export the standard IFC property set
"PSet_BuildingCommon". </li>
<li>Export Parts - If "Current View Only"
export is chosen, and the view has Parts visibility on, then parts will
be exported instead of the original element geometry. </li>
<li>Export Uniformat information as IfcClassification and IfcClassificationReference </li>
<li>General optimizations to reduce IFC export file size </li>
<li>Better GSA support </li>
<li>Light Source no longer exported for lighting fixtures </li>
<li>MEP Plumbing Fixtures exported as IfcFlowTerminal </li>
<li>Slab base quantities are only exported for COBIE or QTO</li>
</ul>
On the Import front, some the of the improvements include:- <br />
<ul>
<li>Better wall joins </li>
<li>Different representations have their own elements and sub-categories </li>
<li>IFC import now properly handles faces that are almost planar. </li>
<li>More materials imported </li>
<li>IFC import now does more checks to ensure that illegal faces do not get created on import. </li>
<li>Space geometry not imported as in-place family solid </li>
<li>Text Font now set correctly</li>
</ul>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Material changes</h4>
Over
the last couple of releases of Revit we have seen materials dialogue
box continually change. Much under the bonnet work has been taking place
& last year you saw some of these results in 2012. Revit 2013 moves
this forward. A new Materials data model has been incorporated which
includes extended asset data within the material definition. So as well
as the appearance, you are able to include structural and thermal
performance properties. This extends the capabilities of material for
more than just rendering; the thermal performance properties will open
up opportunities to performance building energy analysis based on
material definitions. The Structural properties data will mean this can
be utilized for faster structural analysis calculations. I have to say
that I personally found the general UI improvements rather confusing, a
lot of picking & clicking & opening of windows which makes the
workflow baffling. I guess I will work it out over time. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UWHMWIsw0VE/T3FEiiBC8FI/AAAAAAAADTI/WVprENYfyws/s1600-h/rac2013_img10%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img10" border="0" height="234" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-0yx_ngeX4rY/T3FEjMFluII/AAAAAAAADTQ/kPddegBV8SA/rac2013_img10_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img10" width="450" /></a> <br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Construction Modelling “the next step”</h4>
Revit
2012 introduced us to the notion of Parts & Assembles for
construction modelling. The tools represented the process of being able
to take a consultants model, then being able to slice & dice it up
as a model which is useful for construction. 2013 builds on that initial
functionality. You are now able to merge Parts, so if you break two or
more Parts, you can merge them into a single element. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vQfHVYn3s2c/T3FEjlNkExI/AAAAAAAADTY/iddpdunonCE/s1600-h/rac2013_img12a%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img12a" border="0" height="400" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8UiHOcgfA8U/T3FEkOcGl0I/AAAAAAAADTg/NFvFu27KLQY/rac2013_img12a_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img12a" width="400" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-cBSCc9Y5ykc/T3FEkkYpzFI/AAAAAAAADTo/zzdql_D6LLM/s1600-h/rac2013_img12b3.png"><img alt="rac2013_img12b" border="0" height="106" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0FGCtoRkbWw/T3FEk8O8WbI/AAAAAAAADTw/LcnbDNBg8Lg/rac2013_img12b_thumb1.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img12b" width="240" /></a> <br />
You
can now specifically exclude Parts from a project. The exclude Part is
not visible & will not be scheduled in Parts schedules or component
lists. These excluded Parts can be restored at any time by
pre-highlighting the Part & using the restore controls from the
Ribbon. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-H0vNbuiv1B8/T3FElTpVYiI/AAAAAAAADT4/4wM75tW4K90/s1600-h/rac2013_img13%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img13" border="0" height="425" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_Bv5PvVOoPU/T3FEmJ8nejI/AAAAAAAADUA/a-EPik65XGs/rac2013_img13_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img13" width="400" /></a> <br />
The
shape handle functionality has been expanded. If a Part is selected,
you now get shape handle controls on all faces of the element; just
select the reset shape from the Ribbon if you need to reset the Part
back to its original form. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VOWWCm9Kr4E/T3FEm7CSfpI/AAAAAAAADUI/7PW2fZeULKY/s1600-h/rac2013_img144.png"><img alt="rac2013_img14" border="0" height="274" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZY3x2aIqTO4/T3FEnYSWQDI/AAAAAAAADUQ/DVahXBl6wgg/rac2013_img14_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img14" width="350" /></a> <br />
Assembly
views have also undergone some changes. When creating an Assembly view,
you will find additional views available, enabling you to create detail
section assembly views from around the Assembly. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xeZ0lKMZpN8/T3FEnyzL4YI/AAAAAAAADUY/mMI_Nba6ct0/s1600-h/rac2013_img154.png"><img alt="rac2013_img15" border="0" height="385" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Aw7gA8NJT9Q/T3FEotRw1oI/AAAAAAAADUg/7N9tCq5JOyI/rac2013_img15_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img15" width="300" /></a> <br />
The
restrictions in 2012 that related to Assembly views & sheets have
been lifted. You can now place Assembly views on non-assembly sheets;
also Assembly sheets are able to host non-assembly views. This opens up
the opportunity for Parts & Assembly to play a significant role
where you need to do IPD related construction information or where a
designer might need to generate fabrication detailing during CD stage. <br />
All
Assemblies how have an origin which is visible in the Edit Assembly
Mode. The origin displays as a “point” similar to that available within
the conceptual massing tools. This origin points defines the default
orientation of the assembly views & also is the centroid that is
used if you decide to swap assembly types. <br />
If you divide Parts
by drawing sketch line or using intersecting reference planes, in the
properties you now choose to add a divider gap value. This allows you to
generate parametric gaps on the parts you have created. I can see this
being really useful for creating quick & dirty concrete paneling on
facades, where you don’t necessarily want to use face based families. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7hKkUbcnwKk/T3FEpIP_GAI/AAAAAAAADUo/03tY3k7Q4Dk/s1600-h/rac2013_img167.png"><img alt="rac2013_img16" border="0" height="283" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9zVGSwe-L4s/T3FEpq2PEsI/AAAAAAAADUw/nRJJwC0W8Es/rac2013_img16_thumb3.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img16" width="350" /></a> <br />
Finally,
the feature I have had most fun with is the ability to add a custom
profile to divided Parts. A new type of family profile called Division
Profile has been introduced that is comprised of a single curve chain
that works with the previously mentioned Divider gap parameter. This
allows you to generate complex joint conditions; for instance the types
you might typically get on pre-cast concrete panels. Previously I was
hacking Curtain Panels to achieve this, but I like this new
functionality much more. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0D-gJgiLZEA/T3FEqNb43XI/AAAAAAAADU4/IyVVkjKSIeY/s1600-h/rac2013_img174.png"><img alt="rac2013_img17" border="0" height="210" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vx2DrqijwcU/T3FEqiG54zI/AAAAAAAADVA/-rgXFHjUaeg/rac2013_img17_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img17" width="400" /></a> <br />
Each
profile can be configured using the properties dialog. The Edge Match
parameter defines how to relate the profile relative to the gap
distance. There are three possible options; complementary keeps the
profiles parallel to one another, mirrored will mirror the division
& rotated creates a mirrored & rotated condition. <br />

<h4>
Worksharing</h4>
Last
year we saw a major overhaul to worksharing, certainly these
improvements have helped with the “large team” workflows but there were a
few features which didn’t make the shipping version, however they are
now included in 2013. When an Edit Request Notification appears, if you
move your cursor over the request, this highlights the corresponding
elements. A nice touch is the ability to click in an Editing Request
Notification as this now enables the Editing Request Dialog. The Editing
Request Notifications now provide Grant & Deny buttons for granting
or denying an editing request, so you no longer have to bring up the
Edit Request dialog to act on a notification request. Additionally,
deleted & new elements in the central file are now shown in the
Editing Request Notification. <br />
<br />
<h4>
General productivity improvements</h4>
A
release of Revit wouldn’t be complete without general productivity
improvements. These enhancements can make all the difference to day to
day productivity, there are numerous, but I will pick up the ones which I
feel are most compelling. If you have a multi-segment dimension &
you decide that you want to remove a particular dimension in the string,
you can now tab to the dimension & hit the delete key & the
dimension is removed from the string. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-gNYH16nARsk/T3FEseay-hI/AAAAAAAADVY/Ct-Dwg1PdYo/s1600-h/rac2013_img19a%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img19a" border="0" height="195" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-MvSb3sJfdaQ/T3FEsxr4pQI/AAAAAAAADVg/ln1-fOwdJ3U/rac2013_img19a_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img19a" width="450" /></a> <br />
It’s
funny, but for a heavy weight package such as Revit, there was no
diameter dimension tool! 2013 now includes that functionality. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HUFqQfhWvpg/T3FEt-F8OOI/AAAAAAAADVo/g9pXAPGEeHk/s1600-h/rac2013_img19b%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img19b" border="0" height="431" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-K8OBpueJGrQ/T3FEu_PkfpI/AAAAAAAADVw/R0cUFviyM08/rac2013_img19b_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img19b" width="450" /></a> <br />
If
you equalize a dimension string, you can now to set up dimension
parameter to display the dimension in a number of ways, so as well as
having value & text you cans also Equality Formula String. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-sxBirZFI6SI/T3FEvlrC7jI/AAAAAAAADV4/b9x1B3EZLoo/s1600-h/rac2013_img205.png"><img alt="rac2013_img20" border="0" height="163" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DG4_VmQxzFU/T3FEwSk8cQI/AAAAAAAADWA/zAta3BcDzd8/rac2013_img20_thumb3.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img20" width="450" /></a> <br />
If
you do a lot of panning & zooming, then you are genuinely going to
appreciate the ability to double click the middle wheel mouse button to
invoke a zoom to fit! Another really splendid feature is the ability to
search the project browser! About “bloody time”, I have wasted endless
hours scrolling up & down the PB on complex mega projects looking
for a particular view which I know exist, but I can’t find. The search
function works similar to the find function in Microsoft Word, you enter
the text for the view you are looking for, and there is a next &
previous button to allow you to search through the matches. Your match
is highlighted in the PB & the PB will even scroll if required to
display the match. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mOPAx0YAr2A/T3FExE78AdI/AAAAAAAADWI/E-di5_2Efew/s1600-h/rac2013_img214.png"><img alt="rac2013_img21" border="0" height="195" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_EcqoPNF8iQ/T3FEyLFLauI/AAAAAAAADWQ/3NXLBGUM62U/rac2013_img21_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img21" width="350" /></a> <br />
<h4>

<h4>
Divide & Conquer</h4>
I
think most Revit users are now comfortable with the conceptual massing
tools & the in-place mass functionality in Revit’s project
environment. However, whilst it opens up opportunities to build complex
forms & surfaces it still lacks certain functions. Have you ever
noticed you cannot array in the massing environment? Revit 2013 breaks
that limitation by including a divide path tool. This allows the users
to divide a range of curves such as lines, arc, ellipses, partial
ellipses, Bezier splines, Hermite splines as well as chain curves &
edges of forms. All you need to do to divide a path, is select the
curve, edge or form you want to divide, invoke the Divide Path tool from
the Ribbon & the path is divided, placing a series of node points
along the path. The path can be divided by Distance between divisions,
Number of divisions, Max or Min distance or you can divide by
intersects. Once a path is divided, a number is position by the path,
which defines the number of divisions. This number can be clicked in
canvas & edited so that you can alter the number of divisions. As
you would expect you can assign the division number to a parameter to
drive the number of divisions. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Sw3mZjwKsQM/T3FEyuOvTtI/AAAAAAAADWY/c6N7HA7sFcA/s1600-h/rac2013_img224.png"><img alt="rac2013_img22" border="0" height="372" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-wCV-ovo_v60/T3FEzXL35dI/AAAAAAAADWg/m0gS1FvncYM/rac2013_img22_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img22" width="400" /></a> <br />
So
dividing with a series points/nodes is all well & good, but can you
place families or elements at each node location? Well the answer to
that is to use an Adaptive Component. If you divide your line, then
create a Simple Generic model Adaptive Component family. Next load the
AC into the divided line family & you can then place the AC on a
node of the divided line. There is a new Repeat button; this allows you
repeat the AC on all the nodes along the divided path. It couldn’t be
simpler. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YAxRK3eCLBo/T3FE0RpkT4I/AAAAAAAADWo/ckIWOdcgO-Y/s1600-h/rac2013_img23a7.png"><img alt="rac2013_img23a" border="0" height="308" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-zCd2BOX3Gh0/T3FE0_9KpdI/AAAAAAAADWw/hikwQnVRs6s/rac2013_img23a_thumb3.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img23a" width="400" /></a> <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-b_4dXUxCE7Y/T3FE1mQPiTI/AAAAAAAADW4/--htPAZPEXM/s1600-h/rac2013_img23b4.png"><img alt="rac2013_img23b" border="0" height="192" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CMeM1Ek8B8c/T3FE2KAr3II/AAAAAAAADXA/c0sNcRkhaa4/rac2013_img23b_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img23b" width="400" /></a> <br />
There
are various ways you can place the AC’s so you can miss or even mix up
different AC’s types to create different configurations for AC’s on the
nodes. As well as using single point AC’s, you can also use multi point
AC’s on multiple hosted curves, edges & even divided surfaces. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-_l9bocUicnE/T3FE3S_FdII/AAAAAAAADXI/L06mY_ZQTpA/s1600-h/rac2013_img23c%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img23c" border="0" height="253" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-XX8T4vFb3KQ/T3FE4S_wucI/AAAAAAAADXQ/v5nGR1UMBTU/rac2013_img23c_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img23c" width="450" /></a> <br />
Again,
the principles is as before, but this time draw two lines & divide
these. Create a 2 point AC, load this into the divided line family &
place the AC onto the nodes in the two divided lines. Hit Repeat &
voila! I have played extensively with this feature, looking at all sorts
of weird & wonderful options, even ones which I thought it might
fail on, but it works a treat. What is not yet possible is to have a
scale parameter, so as the AC is repeated along a line it can reduce or
increased in size by a known value. <br />

<h4>
Architectural big ticket items - visualization</h4>
So
far if you have managed to wade your way through this review of new
Revit 2013 functionality, hopeful you found some useful improvements
which will assist when using Revit. However, what about some real barn
storming functionality? Ok, let’s start with visualization graphics.
Whilst visualization graphics may be low hanging fruit to some BIM
purists, to architects & designers a like, it is visualization
functionality & the way you present your scheme that helps sell it. I
know plenty of people who seemed to enjoy the class that Jason Grant
& I gave at AU2011 on presentation graphics, so presentation
graphics must be important to some people. In 2013 the Ghost Surfaces
& Transparent Override options have been replaced with a single
Surface Transparency slider. The Transparency slider allows you to
control surfaces between 0 & 100%, so you can control individual
elements with different levels of transparency. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-H6_iS9A9upg/T3FE6vsw_dI/AAAAAAAADXo/Hz2_apwGW04/s1600-h/rac2013_img24a4.png"><img alt="rac2013_img24a" border="0" height="621" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-f2p3ARt4sfA/T3FE7RIFGBI/AAAAAAAADXw/RT2k-vK36FQ/rac2013_img24a_thumb2.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img24a" width="300" /></a> <br />

Anti-Aliasing
can be applied to all views, not just 3d views. If you use RPC content,
these will preview correctly in Realistic Visual Style Views. The
Graphic Display Option dialog has been further enhanced. You can now
choose to between a new Sky background style, Images as background as
well as the now famed Gradients backgrounds. You can choose a custom
ground colour for the new Sky background, but the Sky colour itself is
fixed, also it should be noted that the Sky background can is a little
heavy for real-time use but ideal for presentation graphics. Finally we
can also use Sky, images, and gradients in elevations, sections,
isometrics & perspectives, so no more having to import bitmaps into
these views to create sky backgrounds! <br />

If
you use Realistic Visual Styles in 3d isometric or perspectives views,
you can now specify artificial lights & Photographic Exposure
lighting schemes, exactly the same way you do in the mental ray
renderer. Performance is slow, but for presentation graphics where you
don’t want to render the image using mental ray, it’s a praiseworthy
improvement. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0xweoR5U_Nw/T3FFFIwfEqI/AAAAAAAADY4/E-y_OcO6xNg/s1600-h/rac2013_img26a%25255B1%25255D.png"><img alt="rac2013_img26a" border="0" height="347" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-KFIxjQGkM90/T3FFnHoJQFI/AAAAAAAADZA/MRD3cXQwlLs/rac2013_img26a_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="rac2013_img26a" width="450" /></a> <br />
A
new progressive real-time ray trace render style has been introduced.
You enable this new style from the view control bar. As soon as you
enable it, the Revit caches the model; the view then starts to render
immediately as a photorealistic style. You are able still able to pan
& zoom around the Revit model, allowing you to create interactive
walk through, but be aware that this renderer is using the processor
& not the GPU of the graphics card, so the better your processor,
the quicker the viewport will render. The rendering quality starts at
low quality, but the longer you leave it the better the quality of the
image. You are able to set the lighting, exposure & background from
the graphic options dialogue. Once you have reach the quality image you
require, you can stop the rendering by either clicking in the view or
stopping render from the interactive Ray trace panel. You are able to
save views that have been rendered, but be aware that these are only at
screen resolution. I am confused why Autodesk thought we needed Ray
trace viewport rendering when we have Mental Ray & cloud rendering.
Seems rather over kill to me; I would have preferred the effort to have
been focused on giving us sketchy graphic styles similar to that product
that sounds like a well-known red source product. <br />

<h4>
Architectural big ticket items – stairs & railings</h4>
Revit
Stairs & Railings…..where do you start! On the whole they are
great, but those that are new to Revit soon realize there are some
obvious shortcomings when using Stairs & Railings. Not that they are
a complete failure, the sketch based process works well & is more
aligned with how you typically draft a stair, but granular control is
not easy & the way stairs displayed on screen does not always match
with local graphic conventions. However, if you have ever read or
watched Phil Reads AU class on stairs & railings you realize once
mastered, you could hack your way through to create even the most
complex stair design using the standard tools available. But for the
rest of us, we just want a stair component which just works as we expect
to see it. Therefore, to help the “modelling” challenged, Revit 2013
introduces a new stair tool which is component-based rather than sketch
based. <br />

The
new stairs allows you to assemble a stair using run, landing &
support components. Each of these components can be individually
modified using grab handles, so the changes can be made in canvas. The
improved tools allow you to configure component based stairs in multiply
configurations. <br />

process seems very reminiscent of how you develop stairs in AutoCAD
Architecture, the move away from a sketch based approached is certainly
alien to me. But the more you play with the functionality the more you
recognize that this is genuine move in the right direction. For instance
I am most pleased to see that I can now create a 3 run stair or switch
back stair. In the past you had to either wrap the sketch on itself,
which causes genuine downstream editing issues or you had to create two
separate stairs. As the stair is a proper 3d component, this opens up
far more flexibility in its configuration, so the new stairs also allow
you to customize the end to suit different concrete stair conditions. <br />

The
other challenge with stairs has been how they graphically appear as
well as how you dimension & annotate them. I have lost count how
many hours I have wasted arguing / discussing with architects &
project managers why Revit displays stairs how they do. But it’s
difficult to defend the in defensible. So these new stairs are far more
customizable from a graphics perspective, although the number of
sub-categories used to define a stair is confusing. I know that Autodesk
has done a lot of user research in this area, as I have provided
feedback on the way we like to see stair cases displayed here in the UK.
Annotation improvements mean we can annotate individual stair run,
landing, and support components. We can now tag the tread depth; treads
& risers can be numbered using a Stair Tread / Riser Number tag
& we can now properly dimension stairs. <br />

As
stairs have moved to component based approach Revit 2013, so are
railings. This is not yet complete, there is still much work to do, but
the direction is promising. In Revit 2013 there are new handrail and top
rail sub-category elements, improved railing transitions, and the
ability to include system generated extensions to top rails and
handrails. Getting access to the hand rail is very confusing; you need
to tab select to get access to the handrail before you edit it. It
certainly isn’t very discoverable.<br />

stair & railing is an on-going multi-year project, so what you see
in Revit 2013 is the first incarnation. So if you still yearn for the
sketch based stair tools, they are still included. Also, you can convert
a component based stair to a sketch based stair for more finite
editing, but be aware once you do this; you are not able to convert the
sketch back to a component. This is annoying, but as long as you are
aware its fine. <br />

<h4>
Conclusion</h4>
So there you are,
the major improvements for Revit 2013. Am I happy? I think so, but
sometimes my expectations are greater than what is delivered. Nether the
less Revit 2013 does deliver genuine user productivity benefits. Slowly
but surely each release of Revit sees improvements in primary
functionality. <br />
If I am truthful, there are aspects of Revit
development which have managed to keep up with the pace of industry BIM
developments. The Assembly & Parts tools are a case in point, but
there are others tools for whatever reason are lagging behind & are
starting to show their age. My hope is Autodesk recognise this &
address these short comings. The lack of development in the site tools
is unbelievably irritating. <br />
One other major concern I have is
that often functionality is released which on the face of it seems only
partially complete. The staircase improvements are a good example of
this. Whilst the new stair tool addresses some specific requirements,
which is pleasing to see, in others areas it falls short. Why is this a
concern? It relates to training. You now have to train two methods for
creating a stair. This can be confusing to the new user & equally
frustrating to the Revit expert. The number of hidden dialogue boxed
& parameter settings you need to fight your way to customise a stair
is truly amazing. It’s certainly not discoverable & goes against
everything I believe Revit should be. It may not be a big deal for some,
but as I have said many times, moving people to a BIM centric workflow
is about changing hearts & minds. I don’t see why the experts have
to continually justify why some tools are not finished or why there are
two different ways to create the same element. I understand things take
time to develop & there are only so many man hours during a yearly
development cycle, but a maybe a modular approach could be the answer to
ensure things get to a better completed state? It’s a careful balancing
act between providing value to the existing client base and ensuring
continued dominance and further growth of the Revit platform. <br />
BIM
is no longer a pipe dream or something for the earlier adopters or
technologists; therefore we need a suite of tools that can deliver at
all levels. I do feel that after 10 years, Revit 2013 is going back to
its original roots as a solution for the AEC industry.

<div class="post-entry">
<br />
In Revit 2013 one of the small changes to stairs was the “End With
Riser” (as well as “Begin With Riser”) value was changed to an instance
based value. When creating precast stairs this value is unchecked by
default. The issue is not with the stair itself rather with the
handrail that is created. <br />
When this value is unchecked the handrail
does not remain parallel with the run of the stair.<br />
<a href="http://bdmackeyconsulting.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Stair_Handrail_Issue01.png" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignnone wp-image-1336" height="340" src="http://bdmackeyconsulting.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Stair_Handrail_Issue01.png" title="Stair_Handrail_Issue01" width="587" /></a><br />
Once the “End with Riser” value is checked the rail becomes parallel again.<br />
<br />

<br />
So how do we resolve this issue if we need the run to not end with a
riser. Edit the path of the rail and make the lines align with the top
tread of the stair, then select the sketch line at the landing and make
the value for it to be flat.<br />
