Acknowledgments

Before I ever even pondered writing a technical book such as this one, I was the guy who bought them and studied them from front to back. This specific page, however, I always thought was somewhat superfluous… bordering on self-indulgent. As I sit here now, after finishing 23 chapters, I can categorically say that this section only scratches the surface of the list of people close to me who have been tremendously inconvenienced by my unavailability and, conversely, by my temperament during the rare occasions when I was available. Of course topping this list is my wife, Jennifer, and the kids, Cassidy and Jacob. You guys always come through for me, and there is no way I could have written one single chapter without your support, and yes, you get to go to Disney again, like last year.

Also, I’d like to thank Grandma and Baci for constantly watching and being with the kids.

On the technical side, thanks to Willem Knibbe for acquiring the book and working with me on my manuscript and for his constant patience as I lumbered through each chapter. To Jon McFarland for his complete thoroughness in the technical editing of the book. I’d also like to thank Stephanie Barton for her great developmental editing, Dassi Zeidel for helping get the book to the printer, and copy editor Liz Welch for making sure I made sense. I’d also like to thank Nick Cerro at C&S Companies for setting the stage for me and for getting me high-profile speaking engagements in support of my previous books. One more thanks goes to Franco Zavaglia for providing me with a great cover rendering for the book.

Introduction

Ah! Why does one need a big, thick technical book? Well, it is true that the best way to learn is to just do it! But do you ever just do it and not fully get it? Books can serve either as the basis for learning or as a supplement for your learning. No one book will teach you everything you need to know about a specific application, but you may never learn everything you need to know about an application without a book. When written appropriately, the book you purchase starts you off using good practices. If you have already started, the book serves as a desktop reference. And lastly, a book can merely serve as confirmation that you are approaching an application in the correct manner.

Revit Architecture is no exception. Although this application has proven to be easy to learn and easy to get the feel of, it is still a deep, sometimes complicated application with many procedures that require step-by-step instruction to fully understand. And to be honest, some of these features just don’t work in the real world.

Also, this book has been written by an author who is “in the trenches” using Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit MEP simultaneously every day. So, yes, you could figure out all this information on your own, but sometimes it is nice to let someone else figure it out for you and pass that knowledge along to you in the form of a book.

Instead of lengthy paragraphs of text that ultimately lead to nontangible information, this book addresses each subject in a step-by-step approach with literally over a thousand pictures and screenshots to make sure you are on track.

Also, this book uses an actual project and will relate to real-world scenarios. As you follow the step-by-step procedures in the book, you will be encouraged to try many procedures on your own, and also to embellish the procedure to fit your own needs. If you would rather stick to the instructions, this book allows you to clearly do so as well. The book’s project uses a five-story office building with a link (corridor) to a three-story multiuse building. The book’s website provides the model (plus additional families) you will need for each chapter so that you can just open the book, jump to your chapter of interest, and actually learn something! Also, this book is flexible enough that you can substitute your own project if you do not want to follow the book’s examples.

Although there are more than 900 pages, this book does not waste time and space with examples of other people’s triumphs, but is designed for you to open it to any random page and learn something.

Who Should Read This Book

Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2011: No Experience Required. Does that mean if you have used Revit you won’t find this book advanced enough? No. This book is designed for anyone who wishes to learn more about Revit Architecture. Also, this book is intended for architects, architectural designers, and anyone who is using a CAD-based platform to produce architectural-based drawings.

What You Need

Building information modeling (BIM) can be tough on hardware. This book recommends that you have 4GB of RAM with a 4GB processor. Also, you should be running at least 512MB for your graphics. If you are under these specifications (within reason), in some cases you will be fine. Just realize, however, that when your model gets loaded, you could start slowing down and crashing. All Revit applications are intended to run on a PC-based system. Windows XP or higher is recommended. If you are running on a 64-bit operating system such as Windows Vista or Windows 7, be sure to load Revit as 64-bit to take full advantage of the allocated RAM.

What Is Covered in This Book

Autodesk® Revit® Architecture 2011: No Experience Required covers the full gamut of using the software; the book is organized as follows:

Chapter 1: The Revit World Chapter 1 introduces you to the Revit Architecture 2011 interface and jumps right into modeling your first building.

Chapter 2: Creating a Model Chapter 2 starts right off with placing walls, doors, and windows. Also, this chapter is designed to point you in the right direction in terms of using reference planes and all-around best practices.

Chapter 3: Creating Views Chapter 3 shows you how to navigate the Revit Project Browser and how to create new views of the model. Also, you will learn how to create specific views such as elevations, sections, callouts, plans, and of course our favorite, 3D perspectives.

Chapter 4: Working with the Revit Tools In Chapter 4, you will learn how to use the everyday drafting tools needed in any modeling application. You will become familiar with such actions as trim, array, move, and copy. Although it seems remedial, this is one of the most important chapters of the book. It gets you on your way to the “Revit Feel.”

Chapter 5: Dimensioning and Annotating In Chapter 5 you will learn how to annotate your model. This includes adding and setting up dimensions, adding and setting up text, and using dimensions to physically adjust objects in your model.

Chapter 6: Floors Yes! Just floors. In Chapter 6, you will learn how to place a floor. You will also learn how to add materials to a floor and how to pitch a floor to a drain.

Chapter 7: Roofs In Chapter 7 we discuss the ins and outs of placing roofs. You will learn how to model flat roofs, sloping roofs, pitched roofs, and roof dormers. In addition, you will learn how to pitch roof insulation to roof drains.

Chapter 8: Structural Items In Chapter 8 you delve into the structural module of Revit Architecture. The topics we cover include placing structural framing, placing structural foundations, and creating structural views.

Chapter 9: Ceilings and Interiors Chapter 9 focuses predominately on interior design. We cover placing and modifying ceilings as well as adding specific materials to portions of walls and floors. You will also learn how to create soffits.

Chapter 10: Stairs, Ramps, and Railings Chapter 10 focuses on the creation of circulation items. You will learn how to create a simple U-shaped multistory staircase to start; then we move on to creating a custom winding staircase. From there you will learn how to create a custom wood railing. You will be adding ramps to the model in this chapter as well.

Chapter 11: Schedules and Tags In Chapter 11 you will start bringing the BIM into your model. This chapter focuses on adding schedules and adding annotation tags to specific objects and materials in your model. Most importantly, in this chapter you will learn how your model is parameter driven and how these parameters influence the annotations.

Chapter 12: Detailing In Chapter 12 you will learn how to simply draft in Revit. The procedures allow you to draft over the top of a Revit-generated section, or create your own drafting view independent of the model. You will also learn how to import CAD to use as a detail.

Chapter 13: Creating Specific Views and Match Lines In Chapter 13 you will learn how to take advantage of the multitude of views you can create, and how to control the visibility graphics of those views to create plans such as furniture and dimensional plans.

Chapter 14: Creating Sheets and Printing Chapter 14 explores how to produce construction documents using Revit. The procedures include creating a new drawing sheet, adding views to a sheet, creating a title block and a cover sheet, and plotting these documents.

Chapter 15: Creating Rooms and Area Plans The focus of Chapter 15 is to create rooms and areas. The procedures lead you through the placement of rooms, and you will learn how to set the properties of those rooms. We also discuss how to create room separators and how to create gross area plans. This chapter also guides you through the creation of a color fill floor plan.

Chapter 16: Advanced Wall Topics In Chapter 16 you will focus specifically on the creation of compound walls. By using the Edit Assembly dialog, you will learn how to add materials, split walls, and add sweeps and reveals such as parapet caps, brick ledges, and brick reveals. Creating stacked walls is also addressed.

Chapter 17: Creating Families Chapter 17 focuses on the topic of creating families. The procedures start with a simple wall sweep family, and then move on to creating a door family with an arched header. You will also learn how to create an in-place family.

Chapter 18: Site and Topography In Chapter 18 you will learn how to place a topographical surface into your model. We also discuss how to control point-by-point elevations in your site. Splitting and then creating subregions to create swales and berms will be covered. You will also learn how to utilize an imported CAD site plan and place a toposurface over the top of the CAD lines. We also explore rotating your project to true north.

Chapter 19: Rendering and Presentation In Chapter 19 you will learn how to use the Revit rendering tools using the mental ray rendering engine built into the Revit GUI. This chapter also shows you how to create walkthroughs as well as solar studies.

Chapter 20: Importing and Coordinating Revit Models Chapter 20 focuses on the ins and outs (pun intended) of importing and exporting CAD formats as well as linking Revit Structure models. The procedures include configuring CAD layering settings as well as linking and importing AutoCAD for plans and sections. You will also learn how to link Revit Structure and perform a copy/monitor operation as well as use the Revit collision detection.

Chapter 21: Phasing and Design Options Chapter 21 explains how to create an existing floor plan, then moves through demolition into new construction. You will also learn how to create alternates using design options.

Chapter 22: Project Collaboration In Chapter 22 you will learn how to use Revit in a multiuser environment. The procedures in the book will lead you through activating worksharing, and then creating a central model. You will then move on to creating local user files as well as saving to central and placing requests to relinquish.

Chapter 23: BIM Management Our final chapter, Chapter 23, shows you how to create a Revit template you can use at the start of each Revit project. You will also learn how to configure settings such as line weights, dimensions, text, and custom tags, such as levels structural grids and view titles.

Included with the book are Revit Architecture project files that follow along with the instruction. Each chapter will have one or more actual Revit models completed up to the point of the instruction of that specific chapter—or even that specific section of the chapter—to allow the reader to jump in at any moment. Also included with the book are custom families that accompany the lessons, and additional families and projects that can be downloaded as a bonus. You can download the accompanying files at www.sybex.com/go/revit2011ner.

Chapter 1: The Revit World

Before we get started, I think we should set the record straight. I’m sure you have seen plenty of presentations on how wonderful and versatile this 3D Revit revolution thing is. And I’m sure you may be thinking, “This all seems way too complicated for what I do. Why do I need 3D anyway?”

The answer to that question is: you don’t. What do you do to get a job out — that is, after the presentation has run its course and you are awarded the project? Your first step is to redraw the plans. Next comes the detail round-up game we have all come to love: we pull the specs together, and then we plot. This is quite a simple process, and guess what? It works.

Well, it has worked up until this 3D thing showed up. Now the process seems to be this convoluted approach in which we have no real clue where things come from, drawings don’t look very good, and getting a drawing out the door takes three times as long.

The Revit Architecture Interface

Toto, we are not in CAD anymore!

If you just bought this book, then welcome to the Revit world. In Revit, you will find that the vast majority of the processes you encounter are in a flat 2D platform. Instead of drafting, you are placing components into the model. Yes, these components have a so-called third dimension to them, but a logical methodology drives the process. If you need to see the model in 3D, it is simply a click away. That being said, remember this: there is a big difference between 3D drafting and modeling.

NOTE The preceding paragraph will be the longest one of the book. This book is designed to cut to the chase and show you how to use Revit Architecture in a step-by-step fashion without having to read through paragraph after paragraph just to find the answer you are looking for. Datasets are provided at the book’s accompanying website (www.sybex.com/go/revit2011ner), but you can also use your own model as you go through the book. If you do not wish to read this book cover to cover, don’t! Although I recommend going from front to back, you can use the book as a desk reference by jumping to a desired topic. The datasets will be added in phases to accommodate this type of usage. Either way, get ready to learn Revit Architecture!

With that preamble behind us, let’s get on with it.

First of all, Revit has no command prompt and no crosshairs. Stop! Don’t go away just yet. You will get used to it, I promise. Unlike most CAD applications, Revit Architecture is heavily pared down, so to speak. It’s this way for a reason. Revit was designed for architects and architectural designers. You do not need every command that a mechanical engineer would need. An electrical engineer would not need the functionality that an architect would require.

What you will find as you start getting comfortable with Revit is that there are many, many choices and options behind each command.

Let’s start at the beginning:

1. To open Revit Architecture, click the icon on your desktop (see Figure 1-1), or choose Start All Programs Autodesk Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 (see Figure 1-2).

2. After you start Revit, you see the Recent Files window shown in Figure 1-3. The top row lists any projects you have been working on; the bottom row lists any families you have been working on.

Figure 1-1: You can launch Revit Architecture from the desktop icon.

Figure 1-2: You can also launch Revit Architecture using the Windows Start menu (this shows the Windows Vista operating system).

3. If you are firing up Revit for the first time, both of these rows will be blank. At the bottom of each row, you can choose to create a new model or open an existing one (see Figure 1-4).

4. In the upper-left corner of the Revit window, you will see a big purple R. Click the purple R and choose New Project.

5. The New Project dialog shown in Figure 1-5 opens. You can use the default template or no template, or you can create a new template by clicking the Project Template radio button. (We will cover template creation later in the book.) For now, just click OK to create a new project using the default template. You do not need to alter anything in this dialog.
