Understand Revit Data Through Color
This course will explore methods to convey model information through the use of simple graphics and how they integrate into a project's workflow, from schematic designs program diagramming, to creating code diagrams for Construction Documents. Software required: Revit.
What you'll learn
Displaying information to clients and other project stake holders in an easily understandable manner can be problematic. The best way to convey this information is through the use of simple graphics. In this course, Understand Revit Data Through Color, you'll see how to use Revit to create graphics from data in a model. First, you'll start with exploring several different methods and how they integrate within the workflow of a project, from schematic design program diagramming, to creating code diagrams for the authorities having jurisdiction. Next, you'll get to see how to use area and room data to add patterns, as well as using visibility graphics to add patterns. Finally, you'll get to use Materials System Families and Mass Objects to Color views to understand information within the model. When you're finished with this course, you'll have an understanding of how model managers can use these methods to perform model checks on the model to verify that it's meeting the project's design criteria. Software required: Revit.
