Right in time! I'm finishing my graduation project and this trick will help me a lot. Thank you.
Thank you, finally getting around to working with structure in Revit and this we most helpful.
I followed your blog, and now it's cool that you have a channel. So good. Thank you
Cheers! Thanks for following! I have had the channel for a long time but I used it really to just host videos on the blog... Now, I am pushing both as areas of learning! Cheers!
Quality video. Exactly what I was looking for. Love it. Many thanks.
Cheers man! Glad you enjoyed!
Thank you man, for your tutorial. I was just looking for it.
Cheers!
Das war sehr toll 🙏🙏🙏
very nice trick. thank you for your sharing
Cheers!
you are simply awesome, thank you
No, no. YOU are awesome! ;)
Align the ref.plane to the beam and lock it to the beam. Works for me🤓
Would enjoy seeing the modifying the beam family technique mentioned as well.
Amazing trick
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed!
thank you
You're welcome
Amazen!
Cheers! :)
Hi there
Is there a way to use a google 3d background image and place lighting on the site and then render in 3D? i would love to use this for clients when we look at lighting for their buildings to show what it would look like before they buy
Wow!
Cheers!
When you select beam support for the beam system, it doesnt work, the beam you select is not "selectable"
I have a question regarding the material of the structual beams. It seems to me that you can only change the material of the individual beam in the properties panel but not the material o all the beams of the same family on the proyect, like you could do with a wall. Is there a way to do this?
By default, structural framing material is usually an instance parameter. Meaning, you will have to select all of the beam and apply a material to them. If you want, you can open the structural beam family and change the material parameter to a "type" depending on your needs.
I use a reference plane because coping is often unreliable and it relies on an element, that may be deleted or moved in a way that it breaks the coping. Editing an element that is connected to other elements is usually a pain in revit, so reference plane is more flexible.
Good point! ;) Thanks for sharing!
No FUCKING MOTHERFUCKIJG WAY YOU CSN CUT USING REFERENCE PLANES? THAT JUST CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE OMG
Thank you, I'm a student and want to drawing wood framng as you but I don't have any framing lumber bim, 2*4,6,8,10,12 etc. How to get that library?
It is built into the Revit install. (Insert > Load Family > Structural) I also modified some of them as needed!
nice one ! ......revit guy from New zealand
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Hi bro,why in my BOM that I extracted to excel the total of length is not accurate?after i check it shown length from the centre line,what i miss it?
Check the extension location (the blue dot)
@@TheRevitKid blue dot is on center line,but i need keep as it is,because it will be use for SACS calculation
@@galvanes9500 My guess is it is calculating total length to the blue dot... just a guess.
I know this is a bit off-topic, but I have been trying to find a way to create a thatched roof and make it look good. I cant find a tutorial anywhere! Any ideas?
Hmm... Do you want it to look good in a shaded view or rendered? Big difference on the approach to either.
@@TheRevitKid just shaded would be ok.
@@b-ri2805 I would make a custom hatch pattern that resembles what you wat then... Check out this episode on PyRevit (which has a simple custom hatch pattern maker): ruclips.net/video/CBDUTEbSXXk/видео.html
@@TheRevitKid thanks you! I will take a look.
basically the 1st method does not work if the angle is too steep, and the 2nd does not work quite well......
я не понял, тот дятел с форума не мог найти кнопку cut?
horrible solution
Thanks for watching and for the comment … I’d love to hear what other solution you’ve found that works better?? Please do share!
@@TheRevitKid I do not make explanations for free, exactly like you....lol
@@ingabbateantonio I’m pretty sure you just watched this video for free? And the other 200+ on my channel? 😜
Man I have watched several videos on your channel, not a big fun of any of you guys here as none of you tells the full story, but definitely helpful somehow, however, in this particular case I strongly believe you messed up. I haven't paid to watch your video, but my view made you money. You are not Jesus bro, we know that, Money first.
@@ingabbateantonio in this case I am truly interested in your method for cutting a rafter at the ridge beam. I’m all about transparency and sharing with others… if I find a newer better way to do something than an older video of mine i own up to it and make a new videos. this would be a great example to share another, better, way. You’re more than welcome to email me your solution if you don’t want to share it publicly here…
