If you have to type values you would have to calculate you can always type: "=" and then enter your calculation. For example : "= 155*2" and it will give you "310" if you confirm it. Also keep up the good work!
As a Professional in the Architecture world, I truly appreciate all the windows and doors you open. Pun intended. It is so difficult to sit and read thru a book when you need a detail on the fly. This is something I've been hoping to learn for awhile, it's hard to know what you need to learn until you come across one of your videos and think how it applies to work and the real world. Also wish I had this when I was a student 10 years ago. Your courses are better than autodesks.
its even more difficult to sit, read a cheat sheet paper, recording, while doing revit, design thinking, taching, and talking at the same time ... :D its a Balkan skill ...
You have no idea how helpful this is! You taught me more in 13 minutes than I learned in 4 years of design school. This is going to make my senior project much easier and less time consuming while still looking awesome and professional.
First of all, thanks for the great vids. I have used them alot. Anyway tried this tutorial out, but there is one small fault which I found out that's need to be addressed, which this when you add your sweep I had to check off the cuttable (all of them) to get this to work correctly. Here aften no problems whatsoever. Keep the good work up.
Interesting technique, however I would always expect on professional projects to just use a surface pattern to the thickness of the siding layer. Good for small scale housing however, which I guess as you mentioned is the most common application for this anyway. If the sweep could be automatically arrayed then maybe, but it probably isn't worth the effort when a good bump map could achieve a convincing siding shadow from a distance.
Hey BA, thanks again for another great tutorial! I was looking for this post on the Patreon to ask: Do you know of a way to set up repeating vertical sweeps in a wall type, and also sweeps that automatically appear at openings in a wall. Trying to set up wall types for vertical and horizontal metal siding and would love to have a way for the sweeps to be built in to the wall, especially the trim! Looking forward to the next video as always!
Great instruction, I like your video's because they are short, good explained, and just handeling one isseu. Great keep going!. In this video you mentioned the video for the wall structure with beams and so on, but I miss the link in the description, can you add the link?
Excellent. Does this mean that you have to create different wall types for different height walls? If you had taken the profile all the way to the top of the wall, and placed a shorter wall in the model, would the siding continue beyond the wall? Or would it crop the siding to T.O. Wall?
Hey Balkan. If you ever want to reach more people here in the US. I work in an architectural office and we could collaborate on both systems imperial and metric. I'm currently in the process of working on ny companies templates and system families. Let me know, it would be great learning and showing our best building practices out here.
Another excellent video. One question/suggestion, though, as an American who uses siding as a disigner/builder. The layers of siding are set at a certain "reveal". Which means there is a consistent amount of the siding material visible per row. The amount of reveal is determined by dividing the height of the wall to find the most reasonable number. However, at the top usually the last layer(s) have to be trimmed. In this program, how would you program the profile to account for this adjustment? Would another profile simply have to be created and inserted?
Hey, this was an awesome tutorial. I try to recreate our house at the moment and we have this kind of siding. Can anyone tell me how to make these sweeps end on the same angle as the wall? If your wall is on an angle for example where the roof is that the sweeps will be shorter but they still have 90 degree corners.
I have the same question! I saw someone made an in-place family and then a void form to cut to gable profile. I am confused about how this all works, but maybe you will find it useful! www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=16759
Good but this applies only wall face, when you use a concrete structural column on wall surface, this will pass empty the column surface on facade. I am looking for complete facade wrapping
Hi BA thanks for this tutorial. I've tried it but I have a problem in the profile siding. It is not cuttable.but the wall is okay. It just that it was overlapping in the roof and not cut same with the slope with roof. I've tried to attached it in the roof and still not working. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks in advance
Thank you for this tutorial. However, when I insert the window the siding hides about 1/3 of the lower part of the window. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Thank you for tutorial. I have 2 questions: 1.My doors and windows do not cut into wall properly. Any clue as to what I am doing wrong. 2. How do I save wall to be use it in another project? Thank you
Hi, i followed all your instructions and the wall looks great, thanks so much! However, I cannot get to load this new wall with siding you teach into an existing project with stacked walls over a monolithic slab foundation. Can you let me know if you have any videos about it? or just whats the tool to do that? Thanks a lot. Very instructional and simple to follow.
This is great. I have a question regarding the 2nd option. Is there a way to have it "array" up the wall automatically within constraints (base and top) so that you don't have to manually calculate each offset for every single sweep for the siding? There has to be a way to do that, I just don't know how.
Thank you very much but I have a question I worked as in the video and everything was going well but when I put the door and window were not cut off from the wall in the same way that appeared in the video
great help, however cuts through roof when you attach top/base command to roof, and cuts through window trim even when i unchecked all the boxes on the sweeps for cutable... not sure if there is a way to solve this problem?
You look like Sebastian Stan. Wear a long wig next vid. Joke. Your doing my dream...so LIVE it up like theres no tomorrow. Working BIM here in Philippines.
My "cladding" doesn't wrap when I place windows. At the top of my walls there no cladding above the window, and the window does not cut through part of a cladding siding only a whole.
Is there a way to do this vertically instead? Where you can use this to build an outer european wall. With 145mm width and on top of that 120mm. Would love an anwser
Great video, but how do you get the sweeps to "duplicate" as you increase the wall height? Or do you have to manually "duplicate" sweeps if your wall height increases?
Hi. Thank you for a great tutorial. When I followed it, I tried to offset the siding downwards 3 cm or so, like siding will be placed on a real house. Do you have a solution for how to offset it in Revit so that it is placed like it would be on a real house?
Dear Balkan Architect ,I have a problem with adding any family types of doors and windows ,So some part of siding panels covered the door and window frame what wrong with this ??
Great video! Question though, when you do the “attach top/base” command you would think the sweep profile would follow the roof slope like a wall does. This is not the case though, instead the sweep continues on, interfering with the roof. Any idea how to get the sweep profile to follow the roof slope? Cheers
In the material browser (look at 6:00 for example) click on the image set for the texture and another window will appear with more options. You can rotate it in there.
@@ozoglumimarlk145 I think the advantage here is that the profile is just part of any wall that you draw. If you have to deal with a lot of revisions (say in an office) this functionality is critical.
Unless you're doing 3D renders, this really isn't necessary for professional projects, as it's just time consuming and resource hungry considering it has to array that 3D profile everywhere you tell it to. You would typically just draw the detail in 2D for sections.
@@skylarhall7922 you wouldn't show your materials at all unless you're giving presentation drawings. construction drawings don't care about materials. you schedule them.
