Kevin Cardoso is a Revit concrete modeling veteran. With his partner at BIM Advantage, he has built multiple high-quality families made for concrete.
Instead of using system families for footings and slab edges, Kevin recommends using custom structural beam families. This allows you to simplify the modeling and create more accurate models.

Great Tips. This makes so much more sense than typical standard thickened slab edges.

@hichemprince7473 Год назад

thnx sir 😊 we need more tips

@JavierOropeza08 Год назад

If I am working on arch, nothing wrong with slab edges or wall foundations, we have no need to add reinforcement. If structural gets more control using beams etc, by all means, they should do that! Looks good!

@bimpure Год назад

Yes, Kevin creates highly detailed models for concrete subcontractors. Still, some of the insights could probably apply to arch.

@TravisVanClieafBIM Год назад

Cool technique, if you modify the variable thickness properties or apply a slope arrow to the floor sketch, does the framing maintain its picked position or does it adapt to the shape edit? Appreciate this workflow, I've always loved modeling concrete for reasons you discuss regarding efficiencies of families!

@bimpure Год назад

If you watch the full live session replay, Kevin does showcase a floor with variable height and what happens to the beams.

@madistamela5975 Год назад

In my experience the out of the box solution rarely works. Workarounds are needed in most cases.

epic win

@troypiggins Год назад

In the full video he mentioned several times about a heirarchy of families and which takes precedance when cutting etc. where can I find a full list of this heirarchy?

@MR0MYSTERY87 Год назад

Yeah I don't think that modelling elements using incorrect categories is acceptable in a professional workflow

@bimdev 10 месяцев назад

I'd be curious to hear why you feel that way. By this reasoning, then, it is impossible to model a concrete curb because Revit does not have that category. Revit is just not 100% there yet (especially for the construction subs) and continues to be developed and improved. In the mean time, why should construction subs handicap themselves from a better workflow just to match arbitrary categories that Autodesk created with only Design teams in mind? I'll also point out that Revit itself does something similar. When you use the "Structural Foundation: Slab" tool, Revit behind the scene is just creating a Floor and slapping a "Structural Foundation" category on it.

@@bimdev Well it depends on what are your expected uses for the BIM model. If it's just for rendering and generating impressive images then sure categories wouldn't matter, but if you use it for other non graphical purposes (quantification, clashes, FM & so on) that could cause alot of problems for users trying to extract meaningful information from the model. In a professional design environment, some BIM managers wouldn't allow even using the (Generic model) family categories.

@bimdev 10 месяцев назад

@@MR0MYSTERY87 I agree with you that some BIM managers wouldn't allow it, but they are exactly the ones who should see this and think of ways to make their team more efficient. If the models being built are for internal company use, then those standards can certainly be determined in-house. Even if that's not the case, it does no good to shut down the idea and completely close yourself off from imagining what's possible because a category happens to have the wrong label. Ideally, in this case, Autodesk would allow custom families to be assigned any category that the creator wants. But as it stands, Structural Framing (I think) is the only one that allows for the creation of custom families with line-based functionality.
