Revit Architecture 2018 for Designers – An exclusive e-book for architects and interior designers

Douglas R. Seidler, an Assistant Professor of Interior Design at Marymount University, USA, has written an exclusive e-book for Revit professionals. The book is available in paperback version. The book contains 312 pages.

Revit® Architecture is the widely accepted software package in the BIM marketplace. Revit® Architecture 2018 for Designers is intended for architects and interior designers to simplify the transition process from CAD to BIM.

The book starts with the building blocks of BIM modeling (walls, windows, and doors), then the text advances through dynamically produced 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional views to superior features like photorealistic rendering, custom title blocks, and exporting drawings to AutoCAD® and SketchUp.

This new edition also focuses on the recent modifications in Revit® Architecture 2018. Instructions are briefly demonstrated with the purpose of making an easy transition to the BIM environment for all designers. Clear, brief, and above all visual, this is the perfect Revit® guide that is written distinctively for interior designers and architects.

The book includes the following features :-

INTRODUCTION
1 Introducing Revit Architecture

PRESENTATION DRAWINGS: 2 Floor Plan Basics, 3 Advanced Floor Plans, 4 Reflected Ceiling Plans, 5 Perspective and Isometric Drawings, 6 Elevations and Sections, 7 Roofs and Site Plans

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS: 9 Schedules and Lists, 10 Enlarged Plans and Details

ADVANCED MODELING AND RENDERING: 11 Advanced Modeling, 12 Photorealistic Rendering

Shape – A new sketchUp-like .dwg-based conceptual modeling software will be launched soon

Belgian CAD developer Bricsys, is going to launch a new SketchUp-like .dwg-based conceptual modeling software known as “Shape”. Shape even begins with a human figure at the 0,0,0 coordinate point (origin) similar to SketchUp.

Shape is specifically developed to deal with the conceptual modeling phases of the architectural design process.

One can access this software for free early in 2018. Shape is a subset of BricsCAD, that adheres to the AutoCAD user experience intimately.

Shape comes with two unique command entry tools available in BricsCAD. The first is Quad cursor, an information resource that provides commands which fluctuate according to the location of the cursor and the current actions of the user. The second is Manipulator, a substitute cursor that arrives while moving objects, to set angles for easier location.

Shape can be used to quickly produce walls and other standard shapes of architectural conceptual design. There is no need for file conversion to employ Shape models in BricsCAD, AutoCAD or any other software that imports .dwg files.

The structural elements are intelligent, similar to other existing BIM editors. Walls, doors, windows and other structural elements transmit metadata of their definition, materials, etc. If the shape of an object is modified, the metadata and any related constraints are updated.
