Model Caution Striping in Revit Tutorial

This video is a short tutorial I made in response to a question on Twitter. The question asked how to model caution striping for a factor floor in Revit. There were some great responses like railings and adaptive components but I thought I would add my own flavor... The power of the curtain wall tool...

Never would have thought to use this technique as it also works for us, the forgotten Revit LT users. Great step-by-step presentation in under 3 minutes. Thank you for uploading.

Woo! Finally a win for LT users! 🤣🤣

Random - but effective. Still a bit Galing how we hack Revit to get what might be considered as rather pedestrian functionality. Really great tip

Very nice! Never thought to do this with sloped glazing, I usually just have a fill pattern on the sheet, but this definitely seems the way to go to also want/have to show striping in 3d

Hehe yeah curtain wall/ system is a wild tool when you think outside the box!!!

I can't see myself using mullions as a way to have stripes ever in my modeling career. In the end I wanna have all floor paintings modeled making use of the same familily types: arrows, speed limiters, parking lots, codes for the spots themselves, stripes, etc... And for that i always end up extruding 2d in-situ floor components. It's impossible to have an all-included measurent for all paint needed anyway so.... whatever. But you always open my mind a little bit more.

Google翻譯: Google Translate: For me who do electromechanical BIM, I don't want to see this kind of thing A similar effect can be achieved with two slabs (one frame, one image) But the number of faces of the two methods is very different For large-scale projects, many mechanical and electrical items will consume surface area (round pipes, pipe parts, sockets/switches, fluorescent lamps, cameras, intercoms, access control electromagnetic locks, detectors, sprinklers, air inlets and outlets...with heat insulation layer The number of tube faces will be counted twice) I don't want to see the number of faces spent on one line This method should only be suitable for small projects

Novel approach, but dude, you're killing me with the misappropriation of family types lol ;) Parking or site for the stripes. I have a few paramedic families for generating site stripe and parking families. Curtain wall types and interactions with other wall / element types.

What can I say…. I refuse to conform to the categories … also, this is a roof not a wall… it doesn’t interact with walls🤷🏻‍♂️

@@Apsis0215 I still see no problem. I work for a CM and as long as we know how the design team put this stuff together a square foot is a square foot regardless of the “category” used. Tools like Assemble make it really easy to condition and understand how models are built, too!

@@TheRevitKid true, anything can be filtered out or taken into account given training. Just requires additional training off the 'norm' (as if that exists.)

We mostly use Split Face and Paint for this kind of thing.

Oof!! That must be brutal to sketch in and then deal with when things change!!! Brutal!!!

@simonweel7971 Жыл бұрын

@@TheRevitKid It depends. We don't draw every line, but just the outline. And then use a fill pattern that resembles the 'real life' pattern. Something similar for arrows and such things you find in parkings. The advantage of Split Face is it follows slopes etc.

Crazy. In ArchiCAD, the solution would be to create a dummy floor object, set the depth to 1/16th of an inch, paint it yellow, put it on the right layer, and copy/array it. This video would be ten seconds long.

@TheRevitKid Жыл бұрын

Good thing it’s not an ArchiCAD video then ;) also… because you went there. It sounds like you’d be sketching the outline of these stripes manually and copying/array. The point of this workflow is it automatically adjusts and all you have to do is sketch the overall outline of the pattern… no array, copy, etc and it adjusts Automatically. I’ve got no beef with ArchiCAD, I just felt I should respond 😉

@spaciotechtonics Жыл бұрын

Semantically, floor slab seems like the right way to do it. VG gets messed up using curtain wall for the floor I think. The Archicad workflow seems like it's possible in Revit as well. Thoughts @TheRevitKid?

@TheRevitKid Жыл бұрын

@@spaciotechtonics 100% you can make a bunch of slabs or extrusions and array them... but that sucks. Imagine modifying it afterwards? You can also use railings, adaptive components, a basic array family, and more... Don't be beholden to categories just because Autodesk gave us a list of categories and "VG". They also gave us filters, design options, worksets, and more to control visibility and workflow!
