Autodesk Revit 2018 Architecture Basics


Book Description

Autodesk Revit 2018 Architecture Basics is geared towards beginning architectural students or professional architects who want to get a jump-start into 3D parametric modeling for commercial structures. This book is filled with tutorials, tips and tricks, and will help you get the most out of your software in very little time. The text walks you through from concepts to site plans to floor plans and on through reflected ceiling plans, then ends with an easy chapter on how to customize Autodesk Revit to boost your productivity. The advantages of working in 3D are not initially apparent to most architectural users. The benefits come when you start creating your documentation and you realize that your views are automatically defined for you with your 3D model. Your schedules and views automatically update when you change features. You can explore your conceptual designs faster and in more depth. Learning to use Revit will allow you to communicate your ideas and designs faster, more easily, and more beautifully.

That's how you get the whole picture of the entire story and learn the software. This book covers five major disciplines of MEP systems: • Mechanical • Hydronic Piping • Electrical • Plumbing • Fire Protection Besides the modeling of 3D Duct Works, Conduits and Piping, it also covers Energy Analysis, Lighting Calculation, Schedule Creations and many MEP related Properties. The last two are really the heart of Building Information. Author also included a bonus chapter of Architectural Modeling that will give reader extra background and experience of the software. I wrote this book in two versions: Imperial and Metric. Reader can choose the one to suit his/her need. With 1000+ steps, 1000+ figures, 60+ exercise files (download from author's Google Drive) to guide you to complete the entire modeling of a building, there is no reason you cannot succeed Autodesk Revit MEP.




Autodesk Revit 2020: Fundamentals for Structure (Metric Units)


Book Description

To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk(R) Revit(R) 2020: Fundamentals for Structure guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of structural buildings from engineering design through construction documentation. This guide is intended to introduce you to the user interface and the basic building components of the software that makes Autodesk(R) Revit(R) a powerful and flexible structural modeling tool. The goal is to familiarize you with the tools required to create, modify, analyze, and document a parametric model.

Autodesk Revit 2021 BIM Management


Book Description

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an approach to the entire building life cycle. Autodesk(R) Revit(R) for Architecture, MEP, and Structure is a powerful BIM program that supports the ability to coordinate, update, and share design data with team members throughout the design construction and management phases of a building's life. A key component in managing the BIM process is to establish a company foundation for different types of projects by creating standard templates and custom family elements. Having this in place makes the process of any new project flow smoothly and efficiently. The objective of the Autodesk(R) Revit(R) 2021 BIM Management: Template and Family Creation guide is to enable users who have worked with the software to expand their knowledge in setting up office standards with templates that include annotation styles, preset views, sheets, and schedules, as well as creating custom system, in-place, and component families. This guide contains practices that are specific to each discipline. Topics Covered Create custom templates with annotation styles, title blocks, and custom element types. Create schedules, including material takeoff schedules with formulas. Create custom wall, roof, and floor types, as well as MEP system families. Set up a component family file with a parametric framework. Create family geometry. Create family types. Modify the visibility of components and incorporate additional family items such as controls, MEP connectors, and nested components. Create specific families, including in-place families, profiles, annotations, and parameters. This guide also contains discipline-specific practices for families, including doors, windows, railings, pipe fittings, light fixtures, gusset plates, and built-up columns. Prerequisites Access to the 2021.0 version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Autodesk may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 2020). You should be comfortable with the fundamentals of the Autodesk Revit software, as found in the Autodesk Revit 2021: Fundamentals for Architecture, Autodesk Revit 2021: Fundamentals for Structure, or Autodesk Revit 2021: Fundamentals for MEP guides. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, such as creating standard elements, copying and moving elements, and creating and working with views. Information on Collaboration Tools, Conceptual Design, and Site and Structural Design are covered in other guides.
