Autodesk Revit 2019 Architecture: Conceptual Design and Visualization (Metric Units): Autodesk Authorized Publisher - Paperback

by Ascent -. Center for Technical Knowledge (Author)

As architects and designers start a project, they frequently think about the overall massing of a building or the area of the footprint. The Autodesk^(R) Revit^(R) software, using its powerful Building Information Modeling (BIM) engine, includes tools for creating mass elements that can be modified into many shapes. You can then apply walls, roofs, and floors to them to continue designing. You can use space planning tools to set up areas for rooms and colors to mark the different areas. For presentations, you can create, embellish, and render perspective views.

The objective of the Autodesk^(R) Revit^(R) 2019 Architecture: Conceptual Design and Visualization guide is to enable users who have worked with the Autodesk Revit software to expand their knowledge in the areas of Conceptual Design, including massing studies, space planning, visualization, and rendering.

Topics Covered

• Create In-Place Conceptual Mass elements
• Create building elements from massing studies
• Use Rooms and Areas for space planning and analysis
• Create perspectives, sketches, exploded views, and solar studies
• Render views that include materials, lighting, and enhancements such as people and plants.

Prerequisites

• Access to the 2019 version of the software. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions.
