GeneDavis Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I wondered what Revit detailing might be like, and the first thing that popped up for me on YouTube was this. Pretty good stuff. Makes me want to ask Chief for some mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tundra_dweller Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Yeah that's pretty slick. That callout view tool alone would be friggin amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Here is a guy with a couple hundred hours of Revit tutorials on YouTube, and it's about an hour of him showing and discussing detailing. It's worth watching just the first dozen minutes or so, in which he is comparing annotation by manual text and arrow entry, vs doing it using the "I" in Revit's BIM, meaning information. He explains it using a roof edge detail, two of them that appear identical, one done with all the anno done "manually", the other with "I". Since the detail is live from the 3D model, and all elements are modeled and built with information, i.e., their ID "names", and the model knows the sizings, one can extract that info in doing some kind of Revit auto anno callouts, which then require just the manual placement of the arrow. Heck, I just wish we had the auto lines for cutting away the unneeded runaways, by which I mean the line-z-line thing we use to chop. It's tedious in Chief to have to do all the masking and duplicating in CAD to achieve what is done in Revit automatically, without even needing a click.

Michael_Gia Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 meh, not impressed. I have a detail page that’s standard and follows what the current local construction association dictates and not what ever I dream up that day. If I need to detail something special then I’ll take the time to build the framing properly and take a 3D cut of that and detail it. Try doing framing in Revit out of the box. Good luck with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive tried figuring this out but some items dont really report back what you need without customizing every label. If only my employer believed in saving time with templates *facepalm* I'd pay outa pocket for some extensive macro training, but unfortunately cant do the whole system outa my pocket hah.

I agree, the one guy states it well, no one puts all of the details in the actual model, so you are left with work to do, its just a matter of where to do that work. The make a rectangle around the section you are interested in detailing, and it auto creates a callout, is nice...if you make details using the model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
