I literally just discussed this issue with my colleague. Still trying to figure out solutions and here you posted a solution for us. You are a legend. Love your videos. Any chance you could talk about floor drop connections? (i.e. change in levels between FFL for a room and bathroom let's say of 50mm) when we draw two different slabs and offset the toilet floor by 50mm, it works. However, when you cut a section, it is just a floating slab and everything is disjointed. also walls don't join back to the separated floor slabs on the same level and level below. Skirtings also get skewed. Very strange and totally struggling with this. Not much info online and don't think you have spoken about this topic before? I may be wrong. Hope you can help =]
Very good question,i guess you might have to model a floor above the floor,if you want the drop to be say 50mm just set the thickness of the new floor as say 100mm here,assuming that the lower floor is 50mm thick itself,so that extra 50mm thickness will give you the required level drop.
That's a nice solution for detail views. But what about it in 3d views? We won't see that in 3d views and i think it will not be added up on schedules too. I usually create another wall with just that layer of floor material placed on the main wall to be able to see it all in 3d and schedules... What would you do?
It works if you just hit yes on that window that opened at 7:29 it will join and cut and appear correctelly on every view, and then you don't have to join after like he did at 7:49
@@marianasalescruz a footer will work if it is an independent item installed on the wall as a skirting but in this case he is creating a linoleum return and it is part of the floor ie an extension of the same sheet layer on the floor
hI Can you help!?? How come when I place a floor on the 1st floor .. it shows under level 1 (no offsets added) then it cuts the wall ... I am doing like your video.. can you help??
hi...... i am having some problem with floor bleed lines in 3d...... Even though the finish plaster of the walls is in front of the floor... and i don't see the floor lines in elevation, they appear as broken or bleed lines in 3d Shade mode with edges..... does any one have a solution for this
Hi How to Stop Concrete sand layer before wall at wall and slab junction.. Because in section drawing view it doesn't look good...please suggest the solution for the same
Hey Does that callout modification change the actuall model as well, or is it just a detail view only (so i assume you could do any strange thing to the call out view) ????????????
thanks for your great videos. on the flat roof, lets say pure cube, after drawing the floor when I do the join, how can I cover the thickness of wall on the floor? Instead of join, if I draw the floor on the outer edges and then attach the wall, on elevations the thickness of floor is annoying. How can I have a neat edge, lets say on a cube???
This won't reflect on the material schedules correctly. You have to create structural floor and finish floor seperately for correct representation. I don't know why Revit makes these simple things hard for us 😫
I always draw my floors and walls in separate layers. Its a lot better model wise. But im really working towards a BIM model and not really an architect model like he does. So i only draw the structural floor and the cement finish, and not carpet or anything like that since we do not apply that at the construction site :)
@@modderhoop2058 I need to draw all the plans as a finished building. Tiles, wood flooring etc :( It is nearly double the effort to draw the floors and walls seperately to get an accurate model. Even then you have to join bits and pieces here and there.
How can I make a flooring with different level basically in the ground floor and interior steps also ... Note steps I mean 2 or 3 steps not a stair case
the method i use for that is create a floor lets say at ground floor (0 level) and give it an offset -400mm (for example). then I create another floor which i want as a step and arrange the thickness as 200mm and give it an offset -200mm (then it will be over the first floor i created) then i make another 200mm floor and this time o don't give any offset so the floor level will be 0 (it will be the ground level) and its done i got 2 floors and 2 steps to reach the other :) hope its clear. kinda confusing when you write it down.
Unfortunately i have to disagree. First option of making a floor is the right one and how it's made in real life. To fix your view remember, once we finish the building on site, we add a layer of finishing (plaster, or cement, painting... Etc) on the whole facade, means in Revit you'll need to add an extra layer covering your whole elevation, and that's how you hide your floor ...
No, the wall he placed is already a multi-layered wall with a concrete core and brick cladding. The floor slab is only supposed to extend over the concrete core of the wall, not out through the cladding which he fixed with the correct way of doing it. While i usually also use seperate walls for cladding, in this case everything was correct.
@@fouezdesign Well yes, since they are anchored to the concrete wall behind them which is actually load bearing while the brick wall only has to hold its own weight. You can get up to a maximum of 12 meters until you have to use a new steel bracket to hold the bricks further up. Edit: The german code for these constructions is described under: DIN EN 1996
@@floriang3104 I'm talking about something, you're talking about something else. In Balkan video there's an air layer then comes the brick wall as the section shows clearly. Will this brick wall hold up vertically straight through the whole bldg height?!... Seriously?!
@@fouezdesign YES, that is what i am talking about. The layer of air is usally filled with insulation tho but that is not relevant for the structural aspect (there can be 3-4cm of extra air between insulation and the brick wall for rear ventilation of the facade. The whole thing is called "Klinker Vorsatzschale" in german but i can't really find good english excamples. The connection to the concrete wall across the air is made by steel anchors that are inlayed in the grout between the bricks.
Hi, im new in revit i start using revit21 but i cant find generic walls like in revit 2018, im working in architecture template. If someone can help me.
Are your options set up correctly. That is, are they pointing to your previously used template files? All your old templates should be opened and resaved in 2021 format and have your new installation point to them.
@@AussieBIMGuru Thank you! This took care of it. knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-revit-2021-content.html
THIS IS COMPLETLY WRONG.....try to be more clearly on your explanation............what you are trying to show is a "finish flooring surface possible some type of vynal flooring material that is extended a few inches above the edge of the wall. ...........however this is not common..... also it depend on the type of project. .......STOP MISLEADING VIEWRS.
