Sometimes you just have to accept a work-around, recolouring your text white in Revit is just a great example of one of those times. You see black = black and white = black and that’s just the way it has always been. So, what if you want text to be white so that it stands out on a coloured title sheet border like this: Well there are two ways to achieve white text (without inserting an image). 1....

Printed output in Revit is What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG), with a few exceptions: The background colour for the print job is always white. By default, reference planes, work planes, crop boundaries, unreferenced view tags, and scope boxes do not print. To include them in the print job, in the Print Setup dialog, clear the corresponding Hide options. The print job includes elements that ha...

Autodesk Revit - Easy Peesey P-Traps

Simon Dickinson

Tuesday, 19 September 2017

General BIM

On a recent job I need to create server P-Traps, these were big ones on 120mm pipe, but the way the default family works in Revit is not easy and you cannot Automate the way in which they are placed, but with a little modification you can create a p-trap that works on a routing system. The first thing to do is to create your pipe work, in this case a 40mm waste from the bottom of the sink and then...

Adding 2D Detail in Revit Tutorial

General BIM

Are aware you can show information in Revit in a variety of ways, from 3D views to plans, sections and elevations. In each case the geometry is typically modelled based on design intent, meaning the goal isn’t to model everything but model enough to demonstrate what the building is going to look like. It then becomes necessary to add 2D details to bridge the gap between the design and building rea...

Powering Your Model with Revit Circuits - Part 3

Circuits in Revit can take many forms. Power, Data and Fire Protection to name but a few, whatever the circuit you wish to create, the process is very similar and relatively simple once you’re familiar with it. Naturally you need to have the correct equipment loaded into your project to create circuits, the default Autodesk content is generally set up well enough to begin with. The benefits of cir...

Bridge Design in Revit….no Really!

General BIM

It always amazes me when lady coincidence collides in front of me. On the same day I had a client ask me about bridge design in Revit, I was later chatting to one of my colleagues about a non-related topic over lunch, when he mentioned he needed to get back to the class he was running…wait for it…. On bridge design in Revit. Now whilst bridge design it not in my realm of expertise, I can at least ...

Revit Rooms and Spaces – Missing or not?

Rooms and Spaces are very similar items in Revit. Adding them to your project can give you some useful information and allow some flexibility in the design, albeit quite different. However, there's always the risk of accidentally deleting them if you haven't pinned these elements, which can be so frustrating! Incidentally, if you do happen to delete a room or a space you will get the below warning...

Revit And Complex Linetypes

Justin Taylor

Thursday, 17 August 2017

General BIM

Sometimes you just have to accept a work-around every now and then and that’s the case when it comes to complex linetype in Revit. It’s a question I always get asked by users migrating from AutoCAD, where both text and symbols can be incorporated into the linetype definition. For those of you who have created your own basic linetypes in Revit you will be familiar with the Line Pattern dialog box. ...
