The few things I like about this software is, although you are able to render in Revit you still have to spend the time to be extremely accurate. In this AI if there’s something that I don’t like I can literally circle it and change it to my liking. It’s almost like the generate tool in Photoshop were you able to switch out silhouette switch out furniture and building aesthetics etc. ultimately, it will end up saving time and with a dedicated architecture rendering function. I personally think you should give it a try. Lastly, if you render enough in it, you can create your own aesthetic style, which can become almost like your signature style when you go render

@@architecturalab Thanks so much for the reply. So many new tools out there and so little time.😄 Thanks to your tutorials I made an A in my Revit class. Thanks again!

@@gonesurfn congratulations in your class and if you want, you could even try it for free just be specific whenever you are rendering and I would recommend trying sketch to render like you said if you were to just generate an image at random it’s not gonna make any sense, give it a shot see what it comes out with

On the top bar where you have the big a file keep going all the way down you will see an arrow that points down that can change your ribbon. If it’s completely closed you can type in ribbon to see if it pulls up. Hope this helps.

There is nothing wrong with luxury in fact, looking at new means of comfort or innovation to ergonomics making life easier are all positive contribution to society. The only thing I advocate for is to not ignore the service aspect of architecture, which is essentially to provide place of worship home, shelter, marketplace, etc. despite given various different budget, constraints and environmental circumstances and architect is trained to take on Any building related project, regardless of extravagance or the luxury associated with the project

As much as I love Google sketchup for flexibility, I primarily use it as a concept or pre-design software. For constructibility for understanding details for construction documentation I believe Revit is the way to go. What is hard in Revit relatively speaking is to freeform or 3-D model but if you 3-D model in sketch up, bring it in to Revit as a mass model, you can give a properties and realize it as a constructible project. In short, a complex project in sketch up always crashes the software and is not ideal for construction documentation.

But I do plan to make more sketch up videos for visualizing small details in 3-D to make them easier to understand

@@architecturalab Yes I am talking about 3d visualization. I am agree with that for construction documentation revit is more powerfull but for 3d purpose sketchup is superior. So that's why I'm talking about a series on sketchup as 3d exterior visualization is eye ketchy

Control plus shift click and hold the left mouse button move the cursor to zoom in move the cursor to zoom out

You’re welcome. I don’t know why but a lot of professors just expect the students to absorb the information from a textbook or by just learning somehow on their own but in my class, I try to teach the software and use these videos as a go by for those who either were absent or need a refresher

I would suggest you take courses on US Building Codes and Construction Drawings, as the practices of residential construction are different in Pakistan. Look up Francis DK Ching books construction illustrated. I have also contemplated covering those on my channel. Hope this helps

@architecturalab Thanks for your help❤

It's a shame we've lost touch with the world around us.

Thank you for your feedback!

dystopian*

“everywhere is the same” great observation! this occurs due to the zeitgeist movement that formed from deconstructionism. The idea is building is just an object like an abstract sculpture that celebrates form ie Frank Gehry, Daniel Liebskind etc. and due to globalization people intend to copy architecture that’s provocative from around the world rather than focus on the vernacular and culture.

@@architecturalab interesting! thank you!

Simply using colors won’t help. I think you should watch the video completely. Because he talks about it’s social qualities

Moving away from modernism to exactly what grayscale or earth tones at best not exactly be modernism still relevant discussion today as it was 20 years ago from 2000 to now we hadn’t had a great stride in architectural expression of Building

Your thesis is the 2 billion Christians today are selfish? Brilliant....

Yes but great architecture inspires, architecture that is based on cheap practices that was invoked via selfishness, budget constraints, bare minimum etc. also intend to attract similar value… people in the past had less and were awe with less the architecture of today create isolation ie. Roman had communal baths, plazas, market squares, colosseum etc. , while we isolate ourselves in game room, sauna, backyard, etc there are rooms more in airport that allow you to lounge and place your phones on top of your head while they charge so you can look up at a screen and we wonder why we are becoming self centered

Hover over an endpoint, midpoint, or center snap point then move your cursor to create a dash line associated with that snap point and if you have extension on it will allow you to create that dash line over a certain span to create a virtual intersection, perpendicular etc. If that line continued essentially, you're snapping to a point that is imagined as an extension of the existing line… Hope that made sense and Good luck

I believe the reason why atheist want to reconnect with nature is because they are deprived of nature (sitting on a 54th story, condominium, game room, office space )in a sense they’re also deprived of God. Not necessarily saying that they have to believe in it, but with the absence of purpose, you have to find some ways to balance it and one way to do that is by giving charity by doing things that could not necessarily be the wisest business decision i.e. if I was to hand a homeless person a dollar that’s a negative one dollar investments with no Roi. Likewise, the helplessness of nature, the reliant on the rain, the fear of drought, the fear of predator and the harshness of the sun. These elements bring about vulnerability in mankind, and in that state we’re more likely to return to God

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any questions.

I was speaking from a practical point of view in terms of construction. I’m aware you can create your own custom Glass material and have it follow the curvature and have multiple double glaze custom panels for curtain wall then use sweeps to signify mullions…impractical. The client will more likely consider straight glass over curve after seeing the cost, but you are entirely right in essence. Thank you for your feedback

@@architecturalab you don't have to use sweeps - it's all very simple and straight forward. I leave you a tutorial below I found on youtube that explains how to do this. ruclips.net/video/SeIrh45UfKs/видео.html Also FYI I do curved glass in about 50% of my built projects hence why your comment felt wrong at least to my eyes. Appreciate you taking the feedback in a positive way. Take care.

Thank you for all your support

The evolution of the bathroom is a great example of how technology and society have shaped our living spaces! Gives me great joy to learn such houses still exist as dwellings. Thank you for sharing.

@architecturalab I just made an outdoor shower. I love it.

I don’t have problem with knowing that we live in capitalism or the impact of gentrification primarily effect minority… I just believe that in Pre Design phase, we should do our due diligence and research what is already on the property and propose design solution that can provide either temporary housing/ displacement or phase the protect ie if you have a small condominium or 15 unit as mentioned in the video and the building is 50% occupied or 60% occupied. All the tenants can be moved temporarily to one side phasing building in and out, providing some future space for the current residence on the new development however small, but nearing same monetarily, conversations along those lines can change the way we view gentrification. we can’t change growth that’s inevitable, but we can certainly provide ethical solutions and manage such growth

If you’re watching the video on your phone, there should be a link on the bottom pointing to Revit exercise 10-2 in which I go step-by-step on how to draw a detail in drafting view using detail components. If you are watching this on a PC or a desktop, then the link to the video would appear in the description. The point of the short is for you to watch my longer content. Hope this helps. As feedback in the future, I do intend to slow down and show possibly a portion of how to use detail component.

You got to follow where the money is! The latest innovation I have seen is when I have travel to Dubai Qatar Kuwait, those regions are coming out with not only modern buildings, but modern cities

Thanks for the feedback

Thank you!

thanks bro

You’re welcome

Thank you! I am trying to adhere to Houston, TX code which falls under Harris county or city of Houston the goal of this series is to adhere to construction document ultimately create a set of drawings that could be potentially permitted, but for a more complex project would require more drawing while the principles are the same floor plan, elevations, section etc.

You’re welcome! UT Arlington does have an architecture program as far as I can see it is a bachelor of science in architecture which is a four-year degree which means it is not a NAAB accredited program ultimately if the students want to become a licensed architect or want to own his own firm he will need to do master in order to qualify for licensure exam. This program is most similar to Texas A&M PV. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns

You’re welcome

I found it interesting as well thank you for all the support!

Thank you for all the support!

The best way to do it is copy to clipboard then paste to selected levels because the multi option only works for one stair one hope this helps

Not really because if you zoom out too far, are you lost your drawing? You can keep hitting control Z you’ll still be on a blank screen it almost feels like you just lost your entirety of your file.

@@architecturalab I tried ur method it didn't worked ?

I think both architects and engineers play complementary roles in building design. Architects focus on the vision, aesthetics, and functionality of spaces, while engineers ensure safety and structural integrity. Architects also lead projects, balancing client needs, sustainability, and the user experience. While engineers handle the technical side, architects create spaces that are both functional and visually appealing. Both are essential for a successful project. I think recent trends have been that architects creativity is suppress due to financial burdens or client whims not exploring beyond what they are right now at the same time the responsibility of providing a new innovation and originality falls on the architect if architect starts viewing their job as a service rather than undercutting each other to get the building out the fastest through the office, we can bring respect back to the profession

You’re welcome thank you for so the support

You will find this to be true in most 1960s to 1980s homes because there was a fundamental movement towards having indoor outdoor relationships because since 1950s people felt like the house became too close to think that it was a normal in the 1920s 30s and 40s to actually open the window before you go to sleep Nowadays we focus on closing out from the exterior to maximize efficiency, thereby the window have shrunken over the years along with the house have become much tighter so you have no idea what the weather like on the outside. I’m glad you’re able to find a house of your dream! The 80s were great era!

I don’t understand…this is the latest technology companies are offering it’s a great idea to implement it anywhere

Because it’s expensive….

You’re welcome! Thank you for all the support

So even theoretically speaking, if you were to model as a mass model, you would still have to subdivide sharp curve by cutting the surfaces using splines etc. but gradual curves you can model them and then later turn them into walls with properties of glass so you can have a “shallow curve glass” without millions if that’s what you’re asking. I will do a video on curve planes on Revit in the near future.

@@architecturalab that was what I was asking, thank you

I am curious what happened after they found out about tomatoes? lol

@@architecturalab they became Italian

@@iceorangutantomato in indigenous Mexican language is called Tomatl, it means fat juicy fruit thing.

I absolutely no sense in that design. The bathroom became an afterthought.

These designs are outlandish curve walls leaving the building to come back to an outhouse bathroom, what is this 1800s… lol

I can’t believe people even without design understanding would make a person exit the building and then jump into a restroom through a triangle shape opening… forget ADA normal people can’t even get in

It’s your graphics card or gpu if the realistic view is unable to render it defaults back to a wireframe

If you do curtain walls or waffle slab you might want to consider line as you offset both way from center, but overall I agree pline is faster and my preferred method for most task

You’re welcome thank you for your support!

It is my personal preference to down, save and sketch up, but in normal sketch up model still is capable of being transferred over to Revit as a family file. Hope this helps.

It is my personal preference to down save on sketch up but sketch up is still capable of transferring as a Revit family file… Another thing you can also try is if you are under Google 3-D warehouse where you can download sketch up models you can also convert those into Revit family file. The only issue is each one of the family is a standalone that doesn’t have any parameters. Hope this helps. Sorry for the late reply.

Yep, that’s exactly how I feel

@@architecturalab at least now its free technically

I have run across this issue on previous projects… for some odd reason they lose host ceiling my solution was placing multiple light as components at the same time then use align to adjust them to the grid

@@architecturalab Thank you for the reply and for making these videos. Do you have any videos on the toposurface exercises of the book for Revit 2025?
