Are you ready to unleash the full potential of Revit stairs? Stairs often receive a bad rap, but they are full of exciting possibilities! This hands-on lab will take you on a journey through the Revit stair toolset, where you'll learn to craft realistic, multi-story stair towers with confidence. We'll leverage the latest Revit features and explore how to create custom stair and railing types that not only meet building codes but also match industry standards and best practices. We’ll consider the entire package as we create the stairs, their railings and seamless landings. The result will be optimized to deliver on what is required for effective construction documents. If you want to raise your stair game to the next level, this is the lab for you!

The latest Revit release includes a new collection of residential-focused content. In this first-look session, we will explore this new content pack and learn how best to use it in your projects. New content items include both loadable and system families and cover diverse items such as fireplaces, shower doors, and EV vehicle chargers. Leveraging existing window families, a new collection of shutters is now included. If your next project includes a yard or patio, you’ll find items like backyard sheds, firepits and even an Adirondack chair. This session will focus on exploring these new items and showing best practice ways to incorporate them into your next design. Join us to see new stretchable schematic casework items, closet system items and even a selection of exercise equipment.

Have you ever tried to control the shape of a curved form parametrically in the Family Editor? If so, you’ve no doubt discovered that flexing them sometimes throws you a curveball. In this session we’ll explore several techniques to tame your unruly parametric curves. We’ll look at examples of circles, arcs, quarter round, half round, arches, and we’ll even check out some splines. We’ll look at both simple and compound curves. We’ll work primarily in the traditional Family Editor but most techniques apply to the massing Family Editor environment as well. We’ll explore curvature and rotation, using both armatures (or rigs) and formulas to constrain flexing behavior. We’ll even throw in some trigonometry for good measure! After this session, I cannot guarantee that you’ll never have another misbehaving curve in your family content, but what I can promise is that you’ll come away with several useful tools to help you tame them when curve-mischief strikes!

Years ago I began exploring the possibilities of creating the classical orders of architecture in Revit software. Parametric families are the cornerstones of Revit software, and this project presented an ideal way to push Family Editor to its limits. Challenges were many, but there were plenty of successes as well. This session is part case study (of the journey I took from the original idea all the way to the publication of a book) and part tutorial (to show the 'nuts and bolts' of how we built the software families), all demonstrated directly in Revit software. In this session I'll talk about scaling, content reuse, profiles, moldings, formulas, nested components, and complex forms in both the traditional and adaptive component Family Editors. I'll show the final successful versions and a few not-so-successful earlier versions as well. If you're interested in historic architecture and/or classical form, or you just like pushing Family Editor to extremes, then this session is sure to please.

<p>Maybe you know the power of Revit software's Family Editor but you've avoided it or it has intimidated you until now. Wait no more. This hands-on lab will introduce you to the basics of Family Editor. Once you get past being intimidated, you will find that while Family Editor is extremely powerful, it can actually be great fun. In this short introduction to Family Editor, you will create a Revit component family complete with constraints and parameters. Don't worry if you don't know what a constraint or parameter is, we'll cover that too. Whether you've never worked in Revit software before, or you've used Revit software for a while but you've simply avoided Family Editor, this lab will teach you the basics of the editor in the most effective way possible hands on. (The session uses architectural examples, but the concepts apply to the flavors of Revit software, including Revit LT software.)</p>

If you are new to Revit Architecture software and want to get a quick hands-on overview of the recommended practices for using BIM in architecture and its associated workflows, then this is the class for you. We highlight several workflows, including conceptual design, documentation, visualization, and multidiscipline coordination. These workflows highlight the capabilities of Revit Architecture, and touch on some of the BIM 360™ cloud-based offerings as well. In this hands-on lab, you walk through exercises that highlight each of the major phases of design, with an emphasis on recommended workflow, while simultaneously incorporating features that are new to Revit Architecture 2014.

Combine logic, geometry, math, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Dynamo visual programming. We'll use Dynamo to drive a Revit document and interoperate with other applications, data sources, and modeling tools. If you already have some experience with Revit and are looking to expand its capabilities with computation, this workshop is for you. Basic understanding of computer programming and scripting is helpful, but not required. This is a full-day class, including networking opportunities over breakfast, lunch, and drinks. This year we're also introducing a forum at the end of the day that will feature several speakers talking about practical applications of Dynamo to both instruct and inspire. Need a bigger challenge? You may be ready for our "Computational BIM Workshop-Advanced."

Got your attention, didn't I? Well thankfully, not that kind of explode, but rather exploded axonometric views. Using the new Displace Elements feature in Revit-based software, we can create custom 3D views that pull apart our model to show how it fits together. This powerful tool is a great way to visualize any part of your Revit project. This feature can enhance nearly any kind of communication—from details and presentation views to marketing brochures and even product design documents.The best part is, the displaced view feature is view specific! This means that your exploded 3D view is a unique view of the model that does not affect any other view. However, as you would expect, changes to the main model do affect the exploded view as well. In this class, we walk through the process to create a displaced 3D view. We create the view, enable displacement, learn to move the pieces, and even add path lines to show where they came from. The potential that this tool opens up is vast, so come and have a look at one of the most exciting new features in Revit 2014!

This session is for beginners. This means that we will start here with some of the basics. If you
are already using Dynamo and creating your own graphs, then some or all of the examples that
follow might be review for you. But if you are like us, there are always tidbits you can learn even
when reviewing familiar material. Se we encourage you to follow along regardless of your
personal level of expertise.
