Why did you model the garage roof as a separate entity ? You could have modeled this as part of the main house roof thereby saving a lot of extra modeling.
I have a question I have Vectric desktop I was wondering how I would do a shamrock with raised numbers for a house sign Somehow all I get is the pocket around the shamrock and the numbers thanks for your help Great video
How do you counterbore inside a previously extruded pocket? I have a cube with an extruded pocket in the top face and inside that pocket are three holes that go through the side face to mount it to a printer. When I try and counterbore it shows the counterbore going all the way through rather than giving me a step. It doesn’t matter if I change the depth, it always goes through the full diameter of the counterbore. If I do it anywhere outside of the pocket it does it correctly.
Hey guys, I realize this presentation was for a class, several years ago... is there a way I can get a copy of the PDF worksheet? This video was very well done, and I appreciate your efforts on it all. I will always make sure to give you all credit for the work.
Thank you buddy as a new guy this really helped me a lot the talking a little fast but I watched it several times and it’s awesome I still make a few mistakes trying to follow you. The tabs are not there but I’m gonna keep watching the video and I’m sure I’ll get there. Do you know that old saying every master was once a disaster
Um, how do I say this…that was a little painful to watch. There are actually two better ways to sketch your roof. The tools you should be using are the last two tools. The first one is the ‘pick lines’ tool which is the green line. Before you start, help yourself out by choosing to pick ‘face of structure’, not cl or face of finish. hit the pick line tool and set an offset. Now click on your face of structure, using your tab key to get the right one, which will highlight, and work your way around the structure. Then join and attach slopes as needed. The best tool to use is the ‘pick walls’ tool, which is the last one. The bonus to this tool is if your walls move, your roof goes with it at the prescribed overhang. One thing you do need to adjust is the overhang, which this tool configures from outside face of finish. So just subtract the depth of your finish layers from outside face of structure. For instance our siding finishes are 3/4”, so I use an overhang of 11 1/4”. This one is really easy to pick with, just hover over any wall and click. Then join and add slopes as necessary. The pick walls tool will change your life.
Obviously not your 'first rodeo'. SO... why do you... or rather why does REVIT not have a way to start new roof structures on the T.O.P. level? I noticed every time you have to go tell it that.. and I"m working on one of my first projects in Revit (20+ years experience in AutoCAD but new to Revit) and don't understand why it's not starting new drawing elements on what I would consider to be the obvious level. Like... why's it trying to start a roof on the floor elevation? Pretty clunky interface. Is there a way to tell it once you start working on the ceiling section of a building to put all ceilings at 9' or when working on the roof to put all roof elements (unless otherwise overidden) at the T.O.P. level? Seems so clumsy for an interface. Thoughts?
