Introduction to REVIT concepts

• Analyse toolbar helps you to perform analysis on our structural building. The boundary conditions enable you to define point line and area boundary conditions in an analytical model. It will verify the boundary condition family types are loaded and assigned in your parametric features of the structural model, Similarly we can apply point load to a model to evaluate the performance of the building
• Similarly we can add and edit load cases to define the design standard suggested load case to a model. we can combine different load cases using load combination icon, It will enable to add and edit load combinations for the analytical model. The main purpose of using the revit to evaluate the sustainability of the building that we modelling. So, we will be interested in evaluating the energy or energy optimization of the building that we are going to model. So, revit offers features such as, it creates an energy model fromthe features we have modelled in our projectand then the energy analytical model will be based on the conceptual masses. The building elements, and the material that we use to construct the building and the quantity and the amount of material that are used in our project.

• LINK REVIT:- This allows to link another revit model to the current model, Eg: we can link models together to specify the relative individual building on a campus or to coordinate efforts across disciplines (architectural, structural, mechanical)
• LINK IFC:- To link IFC file to current model to reference its information for additional design work.
• LINK CAD:- To link the 2d cad file to current revit file to create 3d by revit tools.
• MANAGE LINKS:- Provides feature to manage the links to the building models. eg: If we are linking the electrical and structural model to remove electrical from structural, go to link manager and unload the model we dont want.

A) Collaborate tab in Revit which supports modeling and its efficiency:

Revit provides several different ways to collaborate with team members who are also using the software.

• You can link multiple Revit models together, allowing team members to work in context.
• Through worksharing, users on the same local area network (LAN) can work together in the same Revit model.
• When collaboration needs to occur among users who are not in the same geographic location, use Revit Server or Revit Cloud Worksharing.
  • Revit Server connects offices who share a network but are not in the same geographic location.
  • Revit Cloud Worksharing is a cloud-based service that allows any Revit users inside or outside a network to collaborate on a Revit model.
