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

ARES Kudo – The newest cloud based cad application

Graebert GmbH, the leading developer of high-performance CAD software across desktop, mobile and cloud, launched ARES Kudo, a completely brower-based DWG editor.

The users can avail all the features ranging from dynamic blocks to associative dimensioning, printing, xrefs and line commands in their browser.

ARES Kudo performs as the “hub” for all DWG drawings. Users will be able to relate their current cloud-storages (which comprise the most recognized solutions like Box, Dropbox or Google Drive). The software provides vertical, industry-specific solutions. The users can avail drawings which are preserved on the servers of Onshape.

ARES Kudo facilitates the users to connect with various types of cloud storages and locate DWG files in all of them at the same time, prior to opening file with intention of viewing and editing.

ARES Kudo empowers the owner of the DWG file to get a constant perception concerning who has given access to any particular file. With ARES Kudo, it is possible to allocate drawings with co-workers and ensure everybody is dealing with the latest version as well as allotting view-only rights to choosing partners or customers.

Given below, some exclusive features of the software :-

a. View, annotate and edit on numerous devices with desktop, web or mobile apps irrespective of whether you’re connected or not.
b. One platform for drawing, annotating, viewing, and sharing

c. No check-in / check-out. Everyone with privileges will be able to edit all together.
d. Implant various design options inside a single drawing for instant feedback.
e. Connect annotations, discussion threads and task lists to locations in your drawing.

Create stairs by component in Revit Architecture 2018

In this revit video tutorial, one can learn how to use Revit Architecture 2018 to generate stair through by components and by sketch. Also learn how to rectify stair, insert railing, use materials.

To start with go to Architecture tab and then circulation panel and click on stair. Now click on create sketch icon if you want to create stair by sketch or click on component icon it you want to create stair by component.

• About Stair by Component: To produce a component-based stair, choose a stair assembly edit mode to insert common and custom sketched components.

• Stair Run Components: While forming stairs, produce a common run component in a plan or 3D view.

• Generate a Landing Component by choosing Two Runs: Make a landing among 2 runs in a stair assembly.

• Generate a Support Component: Apply the Support tool to include a side support to a component-based stair.

• Generating Stair Components by Sketching: While making a stair assembly, produce a custom run or a landing component by sketching the shape.

• Adjusting Stair Components: While making a stair by components, it is possible to adjust the individual components of the stair, along with the runs, landings, and supports. It is also possible to modify the whole stair, like rectifying the stair type or the location.

• Stair Documentation: One can adjust the demonstration of a component-based stair, along with the symbolic representation, annotation, and graphic display.

• Stair by Component Properties: It is possible to alter type properties and instance properties for the stair components formed with the Stair by Component tools.
