Documentation

With complex geometries, construction documentation of building elements in Revit can sometimes be difficult. For our project, the slanted elliptical curtain wall was particularly challenging. Since Revit cuts the floors at a height above the level but we want our dimensions for a sloped façade to be right where the slope is at the floor line, we thought we were going to have to either make some complicated plan regions or draft in lines to dimension to. Both of those solutions are bad ones, with a lot of extra work anytime the building changed. Here are some other suggestions for documenting complex building forms using Revit.
