Understanding Concept Massing in Revit Architecture 2009
Revit Architecture's massing functionality allows an architect or designer to quickly develop preliminary feasibility studies where they can extract tangible data from the model at the early stages of design. These studies can then be easily turned into building elements using Revit’s building maker functionality, allowing the architect or designer to embrace the BIM process at the early stages, yet retain the fluid approach that is required at the concept stage. Your concept model can then be moved forward to design development and finally construction documentation, while you still retain the original geometric massing form and design intent.
Webinar Content
So the key highlights that will be covered in this webinar are
- A detailed look at Revit Architecture’s massing tools documentation
- Understand how Solid forms and Void forms work
- Understand the type of geometric forms you can create
- How you can work with external geometry from AutoCAD, Sketchup or Rhino
- How schedules can be generated quickly from the massing models so you can do area and volume calculations
- An overview and principles of Revit Building maker process
- Understanding Shadow studies and animated sun studies
- How you can quickly present this information in a meaningful and graphical way
