In this way, I found it particularly easy to quickly generate the kind of outputs required - even if it did mean the context buildings were quite "dumb" in terms of Revit-esque construction. In a previous study to answer the question myself I used the site category, both as loaded familes, and modelled in-place, so that I could tag buildings (using Mark for house numbers for example) and colour them by parameters denoting "use" and such. However one of the prerequisites for early-stage work is do site analysis of neighbouring built forms (that acknowledge building use, height, etc) and in that respect using a more abstracted means of generating form lends itself well - for which I imagine many might employ Masses. These lessons step through the process of creating a simple building model using Revit. Victorian terracing) groups play a useful role. ![]() In my new practice, it's very much a different proposition - with pretty much every single one of our projects being in densely developed London areas.Īs I see it, there's considerable value in using rough & ready system families to knock up nearby buildings quickly - and where you've identical building forms (i.e. One aspect of concept-stage work (in Revit) has always divided my approach though - that of context modelling, having never really needed to tackle the "problem" in my previous practice since we only ever worked on blank-canvas sites, with little or no immediate built context. With our two major Revit projects well under way and some capacity to take another on, one question that's come up (again) is Revit's suitabliity to tackle concept stage work.Ĭlearly, I am fully backing the endeavour - and have already done example studies of how early massing, and "rough-draft" modelling can quickly surpass the Sketchup/Autocad workflows of yesteryear - whilst provide the foundation for future, more involved, work stages of documentation.
