Instructor: Adam Sheather
Class Description: This class will go through the Revit® Structure family settings in-depth, and controlling visibility to keep your file size down and views working without slowing down computer speeds. The advantage of 3D families is that they enable much greater levels of scheduling, tagging, takeoffs, updating, and more automated construction details than detailing tools can provide. We will also explore the uses of panelization and adaptive component families, which have both very real and significant productivity improvements on any Structural project type regardless of materials. We will look at ways to make various connections and concrete, wood, and steel systems, modeled and parametric. Controlling visibility in views is also an important aspect to make sure the families not only work great, but look correct for detailing.
