Creating a complete Revit® virtual model is the foundation of any successful project, but we still need to generate details and print out paper to get that project built. In this half-day, hands-on course, we focus on the best strategies to effectively standardize views, while using 3D views and areas to enhance construction documents. This includes harnessing the parametric capabilities of Revit to generate the “information” portion of BIM (Building Information Modeling).

Area Plans 

What are Area Plans and Area Schemes
How to draw and calculate Gross Area
Understand how to calculate Occupancy loads

View Standardization 

How to work with Matchline and dependent views
Using Scope Boxes to maintain view boundaries
Using Guide Grids to locate views on sheets
Creating a Key Plan view

3D View Documentation 

Using a 3D view for documentation
Adding Annotation to a 3D view
Displacing elements to show how elements go together
