Multilayeredness - Single-layer modeling approach
In single-layer modeling, each layer of a composite building system (such as an insulated, load-bearing exterior wall) is modeled individually. Thus, for a four-layer wall (e.g.,...
Emergency power system
The design of the emergency power system is based on the power requirement assessment for emergency power systems and on the currently applicable standards and technical...
Create and edit topography
In the construction industry, the term "topography" refers to the natural surface of the earth and the surface altered for a construction project, excluding any objects,...
Speaker
The first step is to determine whether the system is an electroacoustic emergency warning system (AT: ENS, DE: SAA) that complies with current standards or a standard public...
Stairs: Covered stairs
Floor-cladding stairs are required because, in Revit, the stair treads and their layers should be separated from the load-bearing structural element. These are therefore two...
BIM Coordination
The term "BIM coordination" encompasses various areas of responsibility that govern the content and quality of digital building models at the project level. BIM coordination can...
Wall: Masonry
Masonry walls are a special type of structural wall. Contrary to popular belief, masonry walls—just like concrete walls—are simply assigned the building material type "masonry"...
Revit: Worksharing Monitor
The Worksharing Monitor is an add-on for Revit. It makes it easier to work in Revit environments that use file-based work sharing.Note: The Worksharing Monitor only works if Revit...
Floor plan
Floor plans can be used to visually represent, for example, room layouts, leasing plans, or gross and net floor areas.By using blocks of color, their similarities or differences...
Door: Corner and perimeter frame
Doors with corner and wrap-around frames (also known as door jambs or jamb frames) are a very common type of door. The frame surrounds the wall opening on three sides or is...
Door: Door frame
Surface-mounted doors have a frame that is mounted to the wall on one side. Surface-mounted frames are typically used on thin walls or for special wall connections. In renovation...
Revit Fundamentals Course - Architecture: Phase-Based Workflow, Part 2
This training course teaches BIM methodologies for the effective structuring and geographic positioning of BIM models.Participants will learn how to organize a Revit model...
Calculate a sprinkler system
This article describes the integration between Revit (for modeling) and MagiCAD (for calculations), including the information required for phase-specific calculations.
Interface
The term "interface," which is used somewhat loosely in the construction industry, refers in the BIM workflow to tools and formats for transferring data between two programs...
Revit Advanced Course - Architecture: Competition
The "Revit Advanced Course: Architecture – Competition" training course teaches fundamental BIM workflows using Revit for the combined disciplines of architecture and structural...
TGA Template 2019_2: Documentation
View templates
View templates are used to standardize project views. They ensure a consistent presentation of floor plans across multiple stories. This article explains the various options for...
Detailing with Purpose
Determining a practical level of geometric detail for digital building models and their components is a complex task and depends largely on the specific application scenario and...
IFC Import in ArchiCAD
The following article describes what to keep in mind when importing an IFC model into ArchiCAD. For more information on IFC, see the following articles, among others: Overview of...
