How to create perfectly designed stairs in Revit

In this Revit tutorial, you will get some useful tricks which can be applied in the stair family within Revit to generate perfectly designed stairs.

You will learn in detail how to create a stair profile; how to edit and modify it to make stunning stairs.

Methods of creating stairs:

There exist two elementary methods for making stairs inside Revit Architecture. One can apply the “Run” tool or manually specify the stair boundaries and the location of the risers.

To apply both methods, one should remain in a plan view at the time of generating the stairs. For sketching out the stair boundaries and the riser lines, the following points should be kept in mind.

1) At what (vertical) level do the stairs start and end. It can be easily performed by choosing relevant levels. In most of the cases, these levels will relate two adjoining finished floor levels- one above the other.

2) The boundaries of the stairs- ie the sides of the stair should be on your left and right as you walk up and down them.

3) The position of the risers. In most cases, one will prefer the first riser to start at the base of the stair, the last riser should be at the top and all other risers should be placed uniformly in between. It is also possible to place each riser differently according to your choice.

Briev overview of Undet Plugin for Revit

Undet, a Terra Modus-owned brand, has launched a plugin for Autodesk Revit that can accelerate the modeling step for the users.

The Undet plugin for Autodesk Revit applied the Undet project file to produce raster image views out of point clouds directly in Revit that can’t be performed earlier. These minor file sizes are lighter as compared to the point cloud, which should prepare the ground for easier workflows.

With Undet, the users get the ability to perform more rapidly and with less lag while loading the bigger RCP files. It is most effective during panning and zooming, which can stutter or lag while the files start to become considerably large.

The plugin also takes the point cloud into account to be observed outside of the Revit view range so that the users can keep more control on it.

The raster images which are produced can be arranged with various resolutions which will supply various amounts of detail. As for instance, a lower-resolution ‘preview’ or a very detailed view.

Besides, the coloring mode is chosen by source, intensity or coloring by plane. These different settings are modified to point out only the areas of interest, which can provide most pertinent visualizing information to a project conveniently.

The software is accessible on Undet’s website (www.undet.com) along with the Undet Browser, a standalone software with the Undet solutions, together with Undet for Revit, Undet for AutoCAD and Undet with Ares Commander.

How to manage projects with BIM efficiently

Building information modeling (BIM) process gains huge popularity among the architecture and construction industry. Since, BIM is extensively used by several architectural and engineering firms into their practice, it becomes difficult for the project managers to control the project teams employing BIM.

Given below, some vital tips to manage project with BIM in an efficient manner.

Recognize the method

BIM stands for a collaborative method of generating coordinated, internally logical and quantifiable information concerning a building with a central system of 3d models in spite of a separate set of 2d drawings. It is a new way of working that simplifies the workflow with an unified approach.

Know the competencies of the tool

A Revit model is much more than a 3d model, it contains a database of information which can be used for constructability analysis, quantity take-offs, performance analysis, facilities management and so on. Working in a model based framework makes sure greater precision; as components change in the plan, they proceed in elevations and sections. When the windows are provided in the exterior wall, window schedules are updated. Prompt 3d visualization facilitates taking decisions in advance. As a minimum, find out how to open, close and navigate through a model, cut sections and print drawings.

Follow the 60/40 rule

BIM workflow generally comprises of two steps: modeling and documentation. Accept about 60% of the time for modeling, rest for generating and annotating drawings. Set up design and documentation benchmarks and decide on the level of detailing for different elements before starting modeling. Should the model be applied for construction documentation or fabrication and assembly? Prior to add a wall, ascertain its width, make and fire rating. Fix the rules at the beginning.

Have a clash detection competition

A Revit model can easily determine the spatial clashes among different systems in the building, like ducts moving through beams or lights hitting sprinklers. It facilitates saving time and cost because of less errors all through the construction. While Revit facilitates fundamental diagnostics, software like Navisworks can recognize and document conflicts comprehensively. Arrange every other coordination meeting to be virtual, discuss with the model.

The direction with Revit facilitates to include more people as possible to take part in the BIM process for superior workflows.

With worksharing several participants can co-author Revit models in the cloud with BIM 360 Design but in version 2019.2 cloud Models for Revit, facilitates the individuals—in non-Worksharing mode—to preserve their data in BIM 360 as well. It will provide huge benefits to both Revit and Revit LT subscribers.

The process becomes faster to distribute your BIM models with others since the BIM 360 platform upgrades the models for the cloud, fundamentally simplifying them for web-based delivery and remoteness. Shared participants can then avail the BIM model data in BIM 360 with BIM 360 Docs viewer, as for instance, to view and markup Revit models from any gadget.

Other “Connect” new benefits comprise of a cloud-based way to update older projects to the most updated version of Revit, better connections among civil engineers and architects, and new design-to-fabrication method for concrete structures with new CAM export features.

Create: In the area of Create, Revit 2019.2 now facilitates the users to zoom into schedules. Now, familiar keyboard shortcuts can be applied to perform so as well. The “too small on screen” blocking error is eliminated so that the objects can be moved very small distances. Revit 2019.2 will now also apply greater resolution texture on objects while using out-of-the-box textures.

For MEP Fabrication users, Revit 2019.2 offers enhancements to work with branched connections and auto-updating connection components.

Advance Steel – Status Control Inside Model And Drawings

In Advance Steel, the users can use the options to provide a Status level to both the drawing and the model elements and it is often described as Key Stages/Life Cycles inside the production process.

The Status system remains as part of the Fabrication data inside Advance Steel, it can contain levels/statuses which are included to it through the Management Tool (MT) System. Besides, comment levels are included to approve the status.

Various colors can be arranged while generating anything inside the MT. These can then be applied to provide colourisation/highlighting to the model. It is accomplished with the project explorer and the saved Query Feature.

Together with this, there exist a status level for drawings, the drawing system is segregated to the model elements, because drawings may not always remain at the equivalent status as the model, as for instance the model may be left for revision, the elements in the model are updated, but the drawings are not located at similar point. But at some point, they will obtain an adjustment, then a modification in status level of Reissued etc., then modifying to the same status as model at some point.

The vital fact is that a “STATUS” level, is not an adjustment to the drawing, it belongs to the present state of the drawing to the overall life cycle to the project, so the two systems are not same, but can be employed in combination to deliver a life cycle management to the system for Autodesk Advance Steel document and model management.

To get detailed idea on the different steps and operation, go through the following video presentations.

How to use the parts tool in Revit to control your model

Parts in Revit facilitate to split specific elements out of the model into individual parts. These parts are then self-reliantly scheduled, tagged, filtered, and exported. Parts are also utilized to plan delivery and installation processes.

Parts are produced from elements with the following layered structures:

• Walls (exclusive of stacked walls and curtain walls)

• Floors (exclusive of shape-edited floors)

• Roofs (exclusive of those with ridge lines)

• Ceilings

• Structural slab foundations 

Parts are based on elements and updated automatically. Parts are reproduced if the primary element from which they are formed is revised. Alterations include inserting or deleting layers, modifying wall type, layer thickness, wall orientation, geometry, materials, or openings.

While removing a part, it will also remove all other parts obtained from the primary element.

To generate parts out of a wall assembly, choose your Wall and then opt for the Create Parts tool. It will then discrete all the components of your wall into Parts.

While transforming your wall into Parts, verify the properties dialog box and ensure that the Show Shape Handles box is turned on to control each individual part.
