Autodesk Revit Architecture: Attention to Detail
Revit Architecture for AutoCAD Architecture Geeks. Much attention is paid in any demonstration or class having to do with Autodesk Revit Architecture on the modeling process. To be sure, this is important; without a model, you don't have a project after all.
But equally important is the ability to generate construction documents that go beyond the model.
Unfortunately, many firms choose to forego using the detailing and drafting tools in Revit Architecture and choose instead to generate their details in AutoCAD. This is a bad idea for at least two reasons.
One of the most common mistakes new users of Revit make is to "over-model" - to put too much detail in the model. This can cause the model to become inordinately large very quickly, and can cause you to spend huge amounts of time on minutiae with little or no payback. It is important to realize when it is not appropriate to model an object and when to simply show it in a detail instead as 2D geometry.
There are several things that need to be done during this step to make our callout view more correct at this scale. First, the brick that is currently shown behind the soldier course needs to be suppressed. Additionally, the floor that is currently in use in the model has a layer that represents the space required for a 14K1 steel bar joist. In the detail, however, we need to actually show the joist. Rather than model it, however, in this example we'll eventually place a 2D detail component that represents the bar joist in elevation in the view to represent it. So for this detail we need to remove the layer of the floor that we'll be replacing. Additionally, we need to show the gypsum wall board and furring strip on the inside of the wall extending just a short distance above the ceiling.
