How does Autodesk® Revit® 2015 keep things updated? A fundamental characteristic of a building information modeling application is the ability to coordinate changes and maintain consistency at all times. You do not have to intervene to update drawings or links. When you change something, Revit immediately determines \J\lhat is affected by the change and reflects that change to any affected elements. Revit uses 2 key concepts that make it especially powerful and easy to use. The first is the capturing of relationships \J\lhile the designer works. The second is its approach to propagating...

There are 2 types of model elements: • Hosts (or host elements) are generally built in place at the construction site. For example, walls and roofs are hosts. Model components are all the other types of elements in the building model. For example, windows, doors, and cabinets are model components. There are 2 types of view-specific elements: • Annotation elements are 20 components that document the model and maintain scale on paper. For example, dimensions, tags, and keynotes are annotation elements. Details are 20 items that provide details about the building model in a particular view....

Level 2 work plane cutting through the 30 view with the corresponding floor plan next to it Key points to know Element: When creating a project, you add Revit parametric building elements to the design. Revit classifies elements by categories, families, and types. Category: A category is a group of elements that you use to model or document a building design. For example, categories of model elements include walls and beams. Categories of annotation elements include tags and text notes. Family: Families are classes of elements in a category. A family groups elements with a common set of...

There are 3 kinds of families: • Loadable families can be loaded into a project and created from family templates. You can determine the set of properties and the graphical representation of the family. System families include walls, dimensions, ceilings, roofs, floors, and levels. They are not available for loading or creating as separate files. Revit predefines the set of properties and the graphical representation of system families. You can use the predefined types to generate new types that belong to this family within the project. For example, the behavior of a wall is predefined in...
