Church Revit

[Ara Kistner]

thatsthe formula for the permiter which you will have to split in 4 to get the arc lenght. and get into a parameter working thats tricky i recomend you just dont do it parametric.

just draw it like aroof similiar to this but use ellipse instead of circle =Pz_mb62It04&ab_channel=PaulAubin

The problem is that the link you gave me i already looked at that but the problem is I have 3 intersecting curves to make none of the examples I have seen has that solution except the parametric Notre Dame online course.

it will be time consuming and tricky but adaptive component in basicly vertices you apply a surface on top to use modelling terms it is however a lot more combersome then using a modeling program. what you might want to do since you are experiences in 3d studio max is just do the entire model there import to revit and then use that model to get the shapes right with adoptive coponents.

I think it is because it is not symmetrical I have an extra curve on one side because it is gothic , alle the examples have competely one curve at the both ends of the vault, I do not and revit refuses to make the mass or the faces when I just slect the curves.

Tried by doing a quarter of the vault by selecting the 3 curves i have and it refuses to make that or it only makes a face which follows 2 of the curves and produces a straight line on the 3rde curve which is wrong.

The reference planes are perfectly aligned what I have found is although the curves schoud perfectly fit togehter is taht they are not the one onder aan angle does not tried redrawing and I always have the same result either at the bottom or the top of the curve. See below resulat at the top.

I had the good fortune of enjoying breakfast last Saturday with Steve Taskin (thanks Steve!). I've known Steve for 20+ years and have always appreciated his rigorous intellect and quick wit. Being back on the road, visiting Enscape enthusiasts for the first time in three years made breakfast extra special.

The nice thing about this process is that it's fast, easy, flexible: It doesn't take long to do, you don't have to be a mad scientist to figure it out, and if things change (because they will) you're not the only person to manage it. That's right - somebody else can actually figure it out. This last point is really important because creating workflow that's so complicated only you can figure it out is a recipe for a long and stressful career.

But there's a bonus: When sharing your project across other offices, teams, and disciplines, rendering in Enscape just works. You won't have to figure out how to share custom Enscape assets because we're using Revit families.

Download suitable 3D files for exporting to OBJ. I love SketchUp Warehouse and SketchFab. Looking for more content? Check out the article, "Free Resources for Architectural Projects and Visualizations." Good work Helen! :)

For this tutorial, we're going to download a couple of modern office chairs in SketchUp. Then we're going to associate these highly detailed SKP files with the nice and simple, Revit task chair. Let's get started!

Load the SketchUp file into your project. The origin is important. Notice the origin of the SketchUp chair matches the origin of the Revit task chair. The origin of the exported SketchUp>OBJ file should match the origin of the Revit family.

Go ahead and save the file as a native SketchUp file in case you need to modify something later before re-exporting an OBJ file. The name that you give the file is important, because this is related to the name of the exported OBJ file.

Make sure to specify units when exporting. I've specified inches. This will be important when importing the export OBJ file into Revit, because you'll have to specify units. Important: uncheck the option to SwapYZ coordinates.

Now we're going to import each of these OBJ files into their own empty Revit family. Eventually, these Revit families (containing the imported OBJ file) will be linked to the Revit task chair family.

Repeat each of the above steps with all of the OBJ files you plan to nest in your native Revit family. For this tutorial I've created three OBJ files and imported each into a Generic Model category family.

Open the native Revit family. In this tutorial I'm using the Chair-Task Revit family. This native Revit family will eventually contain all of the nested OBJ files that have been exported from SketchUp and imported into their own Revit family.

If you're using one of the native Revit families from the Revit library, be sure to save the family in a custom project folder. I'm saving the native Revit family in the custom project folder (download link below).

Go to a 3D view and select all of the chair geometry. Select Visibility/Graphics Override. Notice the chair geometry is not going to display in Plan/RCP views, since the Detail lines will display. However, uncheck the option to display the chair at the Detail Level of Fine.

Now create a Family Type parameter by opening the Family Types dialog. This parameter will be associated to each of the linked Revit families containing the exported OBJ files. This parameter will control which nested Revit family displays for each Family Type. Be sure to select the same category as the Revit family containing the imported OBJ file: Generic Model.

Select the imported file and select Visibility/Graphics Override. Uncheck all the Family Element Visibility Settings except Fine. In this manner, the imported Revit family file will only display at a Detail Level of Fine. This will keep your Revit drawings nice and clean, yet render in Enscape when the view detail is set to Fine.

Load all of your remaining Revit families containing the imported OBJ file. The first nested family has already been associated to the Family Type parameter. Changing the Family Type parameter changes the visibilty of each nested revit family.

Let's test the results. Open a new Revit project. In this example, I've also created a small floor as context for the office chairs. Load your Revit family and place it in the project environment. In this example, I've copied the chair three times as there's three Family Types.

Open the original SketchUp file, modify the geometry and export an updated OBJ file. Refresh the link in the Revit family containing the OBJ file. Refresh the link in the native Revit family containing the nested OBJ files. Reload the modified Revit family in your Revit project.

The Revit Church pack includes a church altar, pew, chairs, bell, piano, organ, lectern, credence table, baptism font, and many more. It was created with architects and interior designers in mind, and all dimension parameters are instance parameters for easy, quick modification.

In this series, we cover how to work with point clouds and how to trace and convert a point cloud to a BIM model. In my last 2 posts, I showed you how to create the external parts; the roof and walls, and the tower and windows. In this final installment, I will show you how I created the most intricate part of the church in 3D: the inner arcade with all its complex arches.

You should now have a nicely modeled church (or whatever building you were modeling) based on a point cloud.If we crop the site of the church out of the point cloud, we can see the model in its surroundings:

We can conclude from this series that having the point cloud in your drawing greatly simplifies the modeling process. A complex church that would take ages to measure and remodel is now easy to recreate using the point cloud as a guide!

Polylines offer an array of functionalities for 3D modeling. Polylines consist of connected line or arc segments that act as a single entity. Each segment can have a constant or varied width, making polylines versatile for creating 3D models.

In the manufacturing and assembly world, effectively communicating assembly instructions hinges on the quality of technical documentation. With the release of BricsCAD Mechanical V24.2, users can benefit from a comprehensive toolkit that enables them to effortlessly document their validated designs.
