Learn how to create detailed construction document drawings without having to overmodel your project.

A demonstration of the process of creating viable 2D construction details from a 3D building model

Learn how to use BIM 360 Docs to review the latest and greatest construction documents in the field and to generate issues and RFIs.

Learn how to create, annotate, and implement 3D riser diagrams. This class will also go over the typical struggles of making these types of riser diagrams and how to remedy them or prevent them from happening.

Have you wanted to apply materials to your interior design Revit model to assist with an immersive design experience like Autodesk Live or Enscape without going over your project's budget? This presentation will be a combination of power point and live demonstration of techniques employed by BSA LifeStructures interior designers to synchronize the effort of designing and documenting in Revit with assistance from Dynamo. Attendees of this presentation will learn methods of using Dynamo and Revit tools to create an immersive ready Revit model while producing construction documents from the modeled information. This workflow oriented presentation will showcase methods to synchronize modeled material information to support visualization while working with a linked architectural model.

Create 2D Construction Details from 3D Model Geometry in Revit.

Revit detail drawings, detail components, cut profiles, keynotes and keynote legends

You should attend this presentation if you believe that Revit produces ugly drawings. You will learn basic to very advanced techniques to make your Revit working drawings and design presentations look as great as possible by learning old school graphics using 'out-of-the-box' Revit tools.

Over the past 41 years, I have personally experienced the transition from hand drawing with pencils on velum to overlay pin bar drafting to CAD and now 3D parametric modeling with Revit. I have benefited from a hand drawing education where we were taught how to communicate graphically on a piece of paper or presentation board using time tested artistic techniques. That said, I have been using Autodesk Revit since 2003 and appreciate the truly amazing abilities and capabilities of Revit. Over the years, I have heard from older design professionals (who tend to be the decision makers in a firm) that computer generated drawings are ugly, especially Revit drawings. I still consider my drawings art and I enjoy helping others find their inner artist.
This class is my effort to teach design professionals, drafters, teachers and students how Revit is capable of duplicating all of the basic graphic techniques we used when we were producing our drawings by hand. The need to communicate graphically on a sheet of paper or computer screen is still extremely important, no matter how smart your Revit model is. The final product is still a 2D flat representation of your design and it needs to be understood by Clients, Building Officials and Contractors. Understanding basic graphic communication and drawing skills is still extremely relevant and necessary.
