No room or space object placement is required for this analysis as they are identified automatically - a huge productivity gain. It is now just as easy to run whole building performance analyses on Revit’s building element model as it is with Revit’s conceptual massing model. In this case the building space was overridden in section to be 100% transparent.Detailed Model Simulation Pain-free Geometry Conversions New in Autodesk Revit 2014, Revit Energy Analysis now more seamlessly creates valid Energy Analytical Models from detailed architectural models, and includes the thermal properties of building elements.

The advantage of this is that one can see where the building lines when in section.

Just as lines were modeled in place here, so a solid extrusion may also be modeled in-place in a site building line subcategory and then given a material copied from air and made to be 100% transparent. Select the Visibility and other settings as required and then complete the modeling. Make sure that the correct subcategory is used for modeling. Use the “Pick Lines” drawing tool to offset Site lines the appropriate distance (it is assumed that Site lines have already been created). Create a New subcategory, Īfter the required properties have been assigned and accepted, go to the Site plan and model the building lines in-place. 2 New Site SubcategoryĮxpand and select the model category. In the larger picture, were the Architect to use Building lines on more than one project, it may be considered to place the subcategory within the company template so that it may be readily be available for each new project. Such overrides may in turn be applied per view using a view template. These subcategories may then also be overridden within views using the Visibility Graphics override properties of the views. These subcategories may then have their display properties set to differentiate them from others and may have objects (in this case lines) modeled in them. While they may choose to create detail lines in many views, the solution may be to rather model such lines in-place as objects on a subcategory of the Site category. Modeling a Building Line In-place 1 IntroductionĪn Architect requires the use of a Building line to be visible in views other than the site view.
