Chapter 14. Conceptual Modeling
This chapter will introduce you to basic workflow and features that support early conceptual design and analysis of buildings. We'll look at how to create basic forms and rationalize those forms with surface divisions using the new conceptual design environment. We will then see how to leverage the mass downstream in the design process by applying Revit model elements such as walls, floors, and roofs to mass surfaces.
Topics we'll cover include:
Understanding the conceptual design tools
Rationalizing surfaces
Using model-by-face tools
Understanding the Conceptual Design Tools
Within Revit, it is possible to carry a model from early conceptual forms through construction documentation without having to restart the process ...
