Balkan, these window shapes can be their own video. I think many people would love if you made that video (especially architecture students who make crazy buildings). Thanks for all you do.
In tip 4 with curtain walls, you should only toggle the million join in very specific cases. It's much better to go into the curtain wall settings and specify if the millions should join vertically (default), horizontally or just at the border (my usual default).
it feels amazing Mr.Balkan that we really don't know you in real life. And when i say ''WE' i bet most of your students including my self have never met you yet you play a big role in our day to day education journey. I can't get enough words to show how grateful am, let me just say THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES. again i wanna be premium member but don't know how am very keen to know the procedure. meanwhile when am drawing something let us say a wall and go to the 3D i can't see the leveling lines unless i click one of the 4 elevations (South west, North, and East) Abdirahman from East-Africa.
For level lines in 3D you need to have the 2019 version of revit. To become a premium member just follow the link to my patreon (in the description) there you can become a patron and get access to my project files and advanced courses :)
Regarding the walls and the way you removed the line, It is better to use "Join". Only if the two walls have a different material you can use the line tool but that is a rare case.
In Florida we often have walls stacked w different materials as it is very common here. From my personal experiences the join command seems to work best or I will use the built in line called "invisible". Is there a down fall to using the invisible line style as opposed to what is suggested in the video?
for hide a line with lineworks your better choice is existent in "linestyle" section, because if you use a custom work background color, as gray for example instead default white, you will see that white line. so its not the best option to use white line in all cases)
That Wall-as-wall-layer trick is awesome. One thing: I tried to make a thin strip of wood along one of my walls. When I joined it to the main wall, it didn't cut through the window at first. I had to drag the lower end of the new material strip down below the window, THEN it cut out the window void, and then I could put it back to where I wanted.
I can't believe that the problem with double walls and openings was so easy to solve! I have doing it in a much harder way of course! Thank you! colleague from Nis ,)
So all the times I've wanted to make a secondary wall type for vinyl siding, all I had to do was "join" it to the host wall... Even after 5+ years of learning Revit I'm still God-smacked at some of the simplest solutions! 😂
Tip 1: theres already an "invisible Line" line type. so you dont need to make a new line (its 4 below the line type), to undo the invisibile like you just change the line back to
Use for masking lines you don't want to see. Remember folks, it's view dependant, so if you apply the line in 3D like the video, if you view a 2d elevation, you will see the lines back. If you join the walls.... It will remove the lines from every aspect of the project BUT! They MUST be the SAME MATERIAL TO JOIN. 👍🏻
Dear Balkan, can you prepare a tutorial which includes architecture merged with structure, section contains slabs , beams , columns and architectural floors with some details as we typically showing in sections
You can do materials like tile with additional walls if you want to see them in section, but the split face tool works really well if you just want a surface material.
OMG... I just recently started using Revit and this tip number 3 blew my mind. Like really? I was working on this project that I needed that design on the model. Because the process I had in my head was long, I just decided against it.
Enjoy your fantastic tutorials. About the curtain wall one, if I am not mistaken the "join condition" parameter in the curtain wall type property takes care of this problem.
I just use the line for the line weight command (LW) to remove unwanted lines. this way the line disappears and it doesn't matter what view you are in or what's behind including 3D Perspectives
TNice tutorials was an amazing video! you really Nice tutorialt all the key points for the basics without ever over complicating anytNice tutorialng. A hard job and you did
All very helpful. I often see you use the "create similar" command for new levels. I find it easier to select a level, hold "control", and drag up or down to create a new level.
this method will not make a level with a view associated with it. if that is what you want, this copy method works. typically i need most levels to have a view.
Tip 3. Thoughts: Modify wall type in section view, split region and assign material? Tip 4. Thoughts: Curtain Wall Tool join conditions can be changed by type. Traditional curtain walls have continuous vertical mullions. Tip 5. Awesome. Thoughts: Only possible with Panel Type set to System type or Wall Type.
For the last tip, when you extrude the arc > select Attach Top Base > select Hide in View, does the arc still exist within the drawing? How does that affect the drawing and can you delete it and still keep the curved shape of the curtain wall?
Nice tips! I knew about the attach top base for curtain walls or otherwise but sometimes I like to create a massing element and host whichever kind of wall I'd like to that, do can do some seriously crazy walls with the Mass Element tool
For the last tip (curtain panel attached top base) Attatch the top to a sloped glazing with nothing in it. You don't have to hide anything because it is not visible in any view (And also add IfcExportAs: DontExport for the IfcExport, the sloped glazing is not exported to IFC)
I am facing problem in revit, can you solve please, If i am switched to 3D view First floor elevation showing in Transparent walls inside door n window and Ground floor Elevation showing normal. Why it happening this, i try many things but not work can you please help me in this 🙏
Hi Milos. Just out of curiosity, on your first example, why didn't you use 'join' tool for the walls? This will also eliminate the lines as well. Cheers
Best channel for these types of tutorials. BIM is so important nowadays. I'm sayimg this as a freelance architect who also teaches design and CAD in a university. We need the understanding of BIM to be more prominent. Full time staff in academia still has no idea about BIM. They still think it's an alternative to Max for 3D modelling. They have no idea it's an essential multidisciplinary management tool that is imperative for efficient and rapid communication within the profession that takes projects from scratch to completion in the best way possible with the technology that we have at the moment... I would like to hear your thoughts about this....
Invisible lines are already a type of line in revit. Is better to use them instead of White lines because if you use colors you will see the White line.

Your tutorials on steel connections saved my life a few weeks ago. You've got a fan since then! Greetings from Brazil!
I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.
I am currently learning Revit for a new job and just found your videos. Thanks a lot, also the comment section here is very helpful.
i am from Ethiopia. i am architecture student and i always use your videos to learn more than our teacher,thanks
Have you graduated?

Agreed. And if you want to override a line do as Christian says in the comments.
totally agree, but I never used the linework tool, and will def be using it on some sections now.

From my personal experiences the join command seems to work best or I will use the built in line called "invisible".

@@watchinvideos22 Agree, and a big benefit is hosted opening cuts will be replicated in the joined walls as well
Agreed. Using the line work tool in this case is an amateur move. No idea why he’d do that.
The last one actually blew my mind bc I need it for my current project due next week. Thanks!
soone who does not get complex instructions like..At all, tNice tutorials was simple and clear for to understand. Thanks dude.
i'm from Vietnam, i love your video,thank you so much!!

Everyday is a new discovery for me. My deepest gratitude to you sir.
The 3rd tip will help me a lot! I used to edit the profile of the front wall. Very good tips! Thanks 👏

Thanks for you help...Autocad/sketchup junkie here... 10yr architectural designer... Trying to teach myself revit... Not taught in college..
College taught here. Balkan has taught me far more!
how did you survive 10 years as an architect without using revit and especially autocad?
So all the times I've wanted to make a secondary wall type for vinyl siding, all I had to do was "join" it to the host wall... Even after 5+ years of learning Revit I'm still God-smacked at some of the simplest solutions! 😂
all this time i've been manually tracing the hole... DAMN!
The no line hack is amazing😮😮😮
Everything is Amazing 😂 thank you
Tip 1: theres already an "invisible Line" line type. so you dont need to make a new line (its 4 below the line type), to undo the invisibile like you just change the line back to
Use for masking lines you don't want to see. Remember folks, it's view dependant, so if you apply the line in 3D like the video, if you view a 2d elevation, you will see the lines back. If you join the walls.... It will remove the lines from every aspect of the project BUT! They MUST be the SAME MATERIAL TO JOIN.
👍🏻
The wall joint is not dependant on the material So the wall will join, but the different materials will not. Just test it with the multilayer walls.
Came here to say that
Dear Balkan, can you prepare a tutorial which includes architecture merged with structure,
section contains slabs , beams , columns and architectural floors with some details as we typically showing in sections
You can do materials like tile with additional walls if you want to see them in section, but the split face tool works really well if you just want a surface material.
yes why not apply the materials second wall like a materials tiles so on and shown in the sections also
Another trick for the mullions is that you can select a line of mullions and, on the toolbar, a continuous mullion option should appear.
you are literally the best
Balkan, You are a real legend.......
Tip 5. Mindblowing!
TNice tutorials one is really good, among all other basics videos
U R THE MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
go BALKAN - ARC !!!!
this is the best vid ever
having tNice tutorials tutorial playing when first using soft soft was a godsend. Thank you!!
Thanks bud! great video and instructions.
You just deserved much more thab "just" over 300k subbers.
Awesome tips, thanks for sharing
OMG... I just recently started using Revit and this tip number 3 blew my mind. Like really? I was working on this project that I needed that design on the model. Because the process I had in my head was long, I just decided against it.
Very interesting, thank you so much for taking the time to provide these videos. Thanks Balkan Architect
This is awesome and useful. Keep doing your good work.
thank you for the very simplistic explanation of how tNice tutorialngs work. tNice tutorials is the best explanation I have co across on you tube.
Enjoy your fantastic tutorials. About the curtain wall one, if I am not mistaken the "join condition" parameter in the curtain wall type property takes care of this problem.
Great sir really great so many ideas in revit we dont know but you are great also I love you sir
I just use the line for the line weight command (LW) to remove unwanted lines. this way the line disappears and it doesn't matter what view you are in or what's behind including 3D Perspectives
Great job ❤️ Big thanks!
i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software
TNice tutorials was an amazing video! you really Nice tutorialt all the key points for the basics without ever over complicating anytNice tutorialng. A hard job and you did
TNice tutorials man did a really good job of explaining ever tNice tutorialng ever one else don't really go into detail
All very helpful. I often see you use the "create similar" command for new levels. I find it easier to select a level, hold "control", and drag up or down to create a new level.
this method will not make a level with a view associated with it. if that is what you want, this copy method works. typically i need most levels to have a view.
regarding tip 3: you can also just use stacked walls instead of doubling the wall objects and joining them
True, but if you need to do profile editing or treat the wall as a system the separate walls workflow is usually more practical
Will stay tuned to your channal! Cheers!
Tip 3. Thoughts: Modify wall type in section view, split region and assign material?

Thanks for your great Ideas
Great video Balkan. Thanks!
Thank you so much, you help me out a lot!
Why not use the default it is clearly visible @3:30 and is already the default linetype to make lines invisible?
Amazing dude 🔥🔥🔥
sir, your always sharing advance techniques for advance modeling in revit. thanks a lot for the same.
it's helped me a lot thank you so mush sir
You are amazing i have seen some of your videos and they are really helpful
How do you mend the line in a soffit? The white line is great until you need to render with materials and colors.
Amazing tips. Thanks
You are awesome!!!
i struggled with the last one a lot thank u very muuuchh !
Nice tips! I knew about the attach top base for curtain walls or otherwise but sometimes I like to create a massing element and host whichever kind of wall I'd like to that, do can do some seriously crazy walls with the Mass Element tool
i hope your successful as well
Febens Lordeus Thank you!
Join the walls or use the system line . Hiding linework is bad practice thougj
Thanks bro, very useful
Thanks Balkan for this tips!
Hi, Thank. I like your fifth tip
thanks for the great tips, although you should've used invisible line otherwise it will show up in shaded/consistent color visual style
Put the roof on a hidden workset to hide it across the whole project, not just in that 1 view.
For the last tip (curtain panel attached top base) Attatch the top to a sloped glazing with nothing in it. You don't have to hide anything because it is not visible in any view (And also add IfcExportAs: DontExport for the IfcExport, the sloped glazing is not exported to IFC)
GOD!!!My broo
I hear yah mate.
Thank you sir for this all the common and helpful tips
I am facing problem in revit, can you solve please,
If i am switched to 3D view First floor elevation showing in Transparent walls inside door n window and Ground floor Elevation showing normal.
Why it happening this, i try many things but not work can you please help me in this 🙏
Question. For tip 1, won't it be easier to create a stacked wall?
Hi Milos.
Just out of curiosity, on your first example, why didn't you use 'join' tool for the walls? This will also eliminate the lines as well.
Cheers
why do a "no-line" category and not use the existing (hidden line) option? when you print that "no line" could plot
great video, thanks :)
Particularly line the roof to change the profile of the curtain wall.
really helpful thank so much
You’re the best! Thanks
Awesome thanks for the sharing
hahaha god bless you Super Balkan :) Amazing one please make more tips and tricks videos
Thanks for sharing, always good stuff

do have any idea how to make a full height door (from floor to ceiling ) but it is actually a normal height only the frames of the door that goes up
how do i get my wall to wrap around my curtain wall storefront windows?
13:33 adding Ref plane for why? 🤔
Is there a way to cut walls and curtain walls on the base like for the top?
It is Very helpful............. Thank you !!! :)
Invisible lines are already a type of line in revit. Is better to use them instead of White lines because if you use colors you will see the White line.
Great tutorial
Thanks for sharing!
Why dont you use build in line style ?
great video
Why create No Line when was already there?? What am I misunderstanding?
Better one: why not just join those walls to make the lines disappear? Kinda more natural way, than just putting a line on top of it.
you're correct, if you make it white it will show up in shaded/consistent color
@@TheMindeliux that would be the correct solution, however there are situations you can't join like in wall sweeps edge
Well, yeah. But still, invisible line should work better for this.
@@TheMindeliux exactly, if you use white or any color it will show up in (shaded/consistent color) visual style
Those were great.Now left for me to get them well
tNice tutorials was very help full thanks for the information
