Project : Digital representation of the “real world”

physical objects Not every component needs to be modeled

Details Bridges the gap between design and reality How a design should be built – design intent Show how materials should interconnect

Over-detailing : Balancing Act The method that gets the job you get paid for,

done in the shortest time frame is the right one.

Model Content : Overview


Revit : Building Elements

Component Elements

( Everything else )•Doors

•Windows•Furniture•Specialties

Host Elements( Built-In Place Construction )

•Floors•Walls•Roofs

•Ceilings•Stairs•Ramps

MODEL ELEMENTS

Annotation Elements

( 2D components visible on one view )

•Dimensions•Text Notes

•Loaded tags•Symbols

Datum Elements( Non-physical items used for

context )•Levels

•Column Grids•Reference Planes

ANNOTATION ELEMENTS

( The way you see and interact things)

•Floor Plans•Ceiling Plans

•3D Views•Elevations•Sections

•Schedules

VIEW ELEMENTS


Model Content : MV’s vs. DV’s MV : Detail (Model) Views

Model geometry as the base underlay Callout from a plan, section, or elevation view Add detail components while using model

geometry Model changes…detail needs updating

DV : Drafting Views Details not directly associated with the model Conditions where the model is not needed

View Depth Parent vs. Independent

Regions Masking Region:

Obscures elements in a view 2D and 3D

Filled Region: Fill pattern : closed boundary Represents materials 2D, View-specific graphic


Tools : Annotation Elements Dimensions

Specific dimensions to that detail

Notes Text : not “intelligent” Keynotes : most to least intelligent

Element - Material - User General Notes : global

Symbols Callouts

Close-up view of a plan or elevation view

Detail annotations : added to callout view
