Coorlas Architecture understands the value of practical custom home design. We offer comprehensive in-house services to support real estate investments and home improvement projects from start to finish.
We approach each project as a journey in discovering the balance of style and performance that fits your unique project. Our distinctive architectural process thoughtfully intertwines custom design with advanced documentation technology to ensure every detail is captured precisely in 3D.
Why not use the structural framing members instead of generic models? Structural would allow for tagging, and scheduling which would benefit the contractor
We use structural components when the project facilitates a more regimented approach to documenting framing. But when there's only a few beams it's sometimes quicker to simply use some models we've made.
What's the benefit you see in modeling to this detail for residential projects? Not to be critical, just curious as what you see the benefits you find are. I have found that modeling the roof trusses, and major structural components to be beneficial, but am curious where you see the benefit in modeling the individual studs / joists. Cheers!
I only model this level of detail if it's included in our contract, or if there are dimensions I want specifically called out for window locations, sill heights or beam/column intersections, all of which were important in this design. Otherwise, modeling framing members for very basic exterior walls or roofs is not necessary.
Great content! I’m a young architect in Florida, I do a lot of custom homes and renovations. I started to switch to Revit and would love to know if your families are for sale? Thanks! Looking forward for more videos
Hey - Thanks for tuning in. We are working on packaging up some digital products for sale including our Revit models and drawing templates. Stay tuned for those releases in future videos and thanks again for your interest.
Hi - We don't typically provide shop drawings for prefab, but you could simply use the elevations of your stud layouts to provide the appropriate information if necessary.
Most of the American homes use American Software - Revit, but American Software -Revit doesnt come with Native tools to create framing systems for walls, but makes Americans painfully model each Battens, Studs, ridges and the entire plethora of American God knows what not, but So American!, (Hawk sounds in the background)
It is not necessary to model each element separately. The video is a very bad example and shows what not to do. The easiest and fastest way is to use Curtain wall for framing systems.
There's many ways to achieve the same goal. This is only one method, and it provides the most control for intricate structurally oriented jobs such as this.
The curtainwall method is a good option for quick hastily modeled framing. For custom jobs with unique detailing, custom modeling is a preferred method for more accurate results.
Nice! Thanks for showing your method of frame modeling. Your video shows areas where I can be more efficient in my modeling. I appreciate the pace and the level of assumption of construction knowledge that you expect your audience would understand. Definitely the best Revit video on residential frame modeling!
There are many kitchen layout and design programs available, but yes the drawings and coordination of utilities is the benefit of modeling kitchens in Revit.
Studs, sills/bottom plates, and top plates are modeled as separate extrusions, but all within the same Generic Model for each wall. That allows you to move/displace the Generic Models as single units.
