4 Steps to Sexier Revit Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- Grab your favorite beverage and join myself for a little weekly hangout/Q&A happy hour now known as "BIM After Dark. Live." as we talk about 4 Steps to Sexier Revit Tutorial.
This week I am going to share my four, or five, best tips to making all of your Revit views sexier....
Imagine a world where your Revit plans automatically look beautiful and all you have to do is design and model. Imagine what it would be like to pump out 30 renderings in a matter of minutes. Imagine only spending 10 minutes or less in Photoshop but creating “cover page” quality images. How amazing would it be to not cringe when you see your boss walking over to your desk because you know he or she is going to change the renderings you just spent all week on?
Stop imagining. You can live in that world.
How do I know? Because I have lived in the world of nervous nail biting when given a seemingly impossible deadline. I have lived in the world of lower the quality of my product because there simply wasn’t enough time. I have also lived in the world of not know how to actually make my Revit presentation graphics looks better. As I mentioned in my previous posts, I also had some pretty ugly Revit presentations. Not anymore.
I now live in a world where I can change 30+ renderings multiple times a week (with post-processing). I now live in a world where sexy floor plans, diagrams, and exploded axons are the standard operating procedure.
I live in the world where Revit is sexy…
And you can to.... Join me live so you can ask questions and chat along the way!

You know a video is great when you feel like you've been watching for 5 minutes and it's done already! 😂 This is going to change the way I do things moving forward I think. Unfortunately I only use Revit LT as I am just a small company and doing small housing (I only do a handful of jobs per year as I still work full time somewhere else) Do you have any recommendations for real time rendering for Revit LT (doesn't except 3rd party plugins). Such as exporting the 3d model? For now I'm stuck with cloud rendering 😭
Haha I am so glad you enjoyed! Does Revit LT allow you to export as an FBX? What 3D export formats can you use with LT?
I am in the same situation - working with Revit LT and I would love to use Enscape. Unfortunately it's not posible with LT.
@@TheRevitKid Revit LT enables you to export FBX. So you can have a workflow using TwinMotion - export FBX (there's no Twinmotion plugin for LT so do it as standalone export), import FBX into TwinMotion. You can work in TwinMotion. Once you re-export edited FBX from Revit LT, the model can be updated in TwinMotion. Materials assigned in Twinmotion should stay as they were. I haven't used this workflow so I don't know how practical or impractical it is - if things brake much when FBX file is chnaged.
BIM is crazy...... for 18 years i worked as an engineer draftsman, I made formwork and reinforcement plans. for the first 5 years i worked in 2d. And the the BIM came and wow now you can model everything in 3d. And then there was a time you have to make everything in 3d because the construction worker could not read the reinforcement plans wihout seeing it in 3d. for now some people want to create everything 1 to 1. but I thing that is to much. you have to find the right LOD.
Now I'm doing preliminary drafts and draft plans for Deutsche Bahn with Revit. After working with Revit for 1 year now i have learned a lot from your videos, And now i have to Lear a lot more. 😅
Cheers! I am so glad my videos have helped..... Enjoy modeling my friend!!
Aa, so Jacob is the real manager behind all that stuff ))
Great presentation Revit kid, full explanation of the important things and to the point when it comes to architectural presentation techniques
Cheers thanks for tuning in!
👍 thanks for sharing your knowledge
That was so lovely when he jeco said bye ✌️
You are expert architect
Im a beginner technical designer for the industrie and its hard to put the right things on building plans to make everything make sense without putting too much information or detailing on it not to make it too complicated to find that information. You have to keep in mind that a 4 year old needs to understand the building plans or else it will be a mess on site.
Validating my "Ikea House" concept! haha
Hello, I hope you reply on this
I've seen your floor plan that looks extremely awesome and clean, and i was wondering how can i make the same room tag with only numbers and a small legend close to my floor plan?
If I'm not mistaken in an ordinary 3d view only one of the three adjustments makes any difference and that's the darkness of the shadows.
If your view is "shaded" and not hidden line, ambient also makes a difference.
Hey! I would like to ask about the pc configurations you recommend/use, or if you have another video about this. I saw the link you provided about the laptops you use, but if possible I could use further details cause I’m in the process of getting a new machine for myself. Thanks for the great content!
I'll do you one better... here is a review of the exact laptop I am using right now >> therevitkid.blogspot.com/2020/03/my-revit-laptop-balancing-performance.html
@@TheRevitKid Cheers!
My supervisor tried to include colors in our CD and we got shut down because the plans will be reproduced and color ink is too dam expensive. There is a trend in this business that looks at graphics as an expense. Sandly beyond getting the client there is very few contractors that want pretty graphics. We are in luk thought since BIM will soon make printed plans obsolete for field work and submittals. Maybe once the old generation rotates out we can finally have great looking construction documents and 3D details.
David s. - good news most builders are using PDF and computers to view your documents so if we can only get the building departments to do the same supervisors can’t use printers and ink as an excuse. It’s not about contractors wanting pretty graphics... it’s about your design intent being communicated accurately.
@@TheRevitKid yes. Funny thing is it seems on the arab world they do use color. At least for a long time they have. I have seen some examples on the web. I belive color is millons of time better than hatches. However changing municipal aproval standarts to digital is the barrier since they still require a fisical copy of the plan. Hopefully as BIM becomes the norm we may even forget about pdf and just submit a .ifc in the future.
Wish you finished your point on laser printers. I’m in the market for a A3+ printer and having a hard time getting good guidance.
Mine is inkjet currently.... There are TONS of options out there, though.
I'm at the stage where I want to model everything so it can be reported in a material take off. Rafters in roofs, lintels etc.
The more you model in almost all cases the better off you’ll be!!!
i love this section 28:07
Hi Jeff, I like your tutorials and plan on spending more time learning from your resources. If you see this comment I am wondering why I don't see much on Vray for revit.
Once I get into your videos more I will probably find out but if possible let me know why - is enscape & twin motion easier and better?
I see and read ALL comments! ;) - I did a review of VRay for Revit 4 years ago (therevitkid.blogspot.com/2016/05/v-ray-for-revit-case-study.html) ... I know it has come a long way but you cant beat the simplicity (with quality) of Enscape, TM, or Lumion. I am a fan of VRay and the quality it produces, it's just too clunky to run on top of another clunky program (Revit).... IMO - If you are going to use VRay, export your model and use it inside of 3DS Max.
@@TheRevitKid Thanks for your reply. You are doing a great job. My first experience with your videos was on creating a standing seam metal roof in Revit using a curtain wall over a roof which worked great, was easy to follow, and made sense as a work around. Also, just viewed your video on ductwork which is good. I am a structural engineer with 35 years experience. I started with hand drafting in 1981, AutoCAD in 1990, and Revit in 2015 and have been honing in on creating templates in both AutoCAD and Revit that produce top quality plan and detail documents that incorporate standards developed from as far back as the 1920's (My early bosses mentors). I look forward to sharing with you moving forward! Thanks again!
@@matthewedwards4064 Awesome man! So glad my content has helped. Feel free to reach out and keep in touch.!
@@TheRevitKid Ok, see you tomorrow at 4:00 - Paul Aubin's sequences in Revit and Autocad Architecture (linkedin Learning) are also great resources!
Balkan is great but youre just my favorite revit youtuber ✌
