In this Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 training video, we’ll cover the how to use reporting parameters.
In this Autodesk Revit Architecture 2011 training video, we’ll cover the basics of how to build an adaptive component.
Useful blogs and resources discovered while researching Revit related issues over the past six months.
In this Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 video tutorial, we will create a shared parameter to generate a curtain panel schedule that drives the spacing of the louvers through a spreadsheet-like format (Revit schedule).
In this Revit Architecture 2010 video tutorial, we will nest our parametric louver system within a curtain panel family, so that it becomes a parametric panel system that can receive different louver counts.
In this Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 video tutorial, we begin the construction of a parametric louver system. This louver system will be embedded in a curtain wall family by arraying generic model component family that is within a lined based family.
In this Revit video, you will learn how to split a face of your geometry and paint a material onto the newly created face without it affecting your line weights.
In this video I walk through the workflow of understanding the relationship of the default Revit coordinate system (both in Revit 2009 and 2010) to your geometry, and show how to overwrite that coordinate system as well as making sure that the new system pushes through to exported files.
This month’s meeting at the New York City Revit User Group will feature a special presentation by David Fano from CASE Design, Inc. The presentation, discussing Revit’s new conceptual modeling tools, will be tonight, July 9th, at 6pm, so come if you can!
Revit Architecture 2009 is out and has some pretty cool new features. The first one I’m posting about is Sweep Blend. I cant think of a better way to explain it than saying imagine taking the blend tool and combining it with the sweep tool. It’s pretty much just that. Like in the blend you pick to shapes “profiles” to blend between except now you can do it along a path. This video covers the basics of how it works.
Explaining some of the basic aspects of Revit. Where Levels are in the hierarchy. How walls constrain to levels , Coping in place or by level. This is just one of many tutorials that will explain fundamental aspects of Revit.
This tutorial covers the different methods of creating 3d geometry in Revit. I explain the pro and cons of using solid extrusion, Blend, Revolve, and sweep. These are explained within a massing object but apply to all families.
So based on a few articles i just saw (links below) it looks like Autodesk is officially annoucing AutoCAD for Macs. I think this is going to get A LOT of architects to switch.
Virginia Tech’s lumenHAUS has won the Solar Decathlon Europe competition.
Tomorrow (6/11) at 1:30 p.m. EST, DesignReform will be hosting our first ever live training webinar. David Fano will be presenting a tutorial on Data Trees using Grasshopper for Rhino, and will be available for live questions afterward, so stop by with all of your Grasshopper questions.

You can use WHObyYOU to find the best local businesses and service providers recommended by YOUR friends, colleagues and favorite local experts. Recommend things like model making supplier and 3d printers, or even who you used on that project to make you those window frames that you really liked, your structural engineer or steel supplier…
This is the local, social search service that we (CASE) have been working on for a little over a year now and we wanted to share with DesignReform readers, please check it out.
One of the most basic needs post-earthquake is the inspection of structures post earthquake. Inspections are critical in determining the usability of the remaining infrastructure, which will allow the government to determine who can return to their homes, and who needs to be temporarily housed. Architects from all over have volunteered for these tasks, but getting to these areas and supporting these efforts still takes resources.
Positions available at KPF and Johnson Service Group are looking to fill BIM positions
lumenHAUS – Virginia Tech Project 2009 – DOE Solar Decathlon (1.0 AIA CES) will be on exhibit in Times Square from January 27-31.
goBim has launched an iPhone App that offers mobile navigation to 3D BIM models!
The application deadline for the 2010 SmartGeometry Workshop in Barcelona has been extended to January 24th! Read up on the conference here and apply today!
Autodesk University is coming up (December 1 - 3 in Las Vegas) and I will be all over the place!
I will be teaching two classes, one that will show anyone interested in parametric design the powerful new Conceptual Design Tools in Revit Architecture 2010 (Class ID: DV9210-2) and another on Parametric Design Modeling with Autodesk 3ds Max (Class ID: AB114-4). I will also be presenting at the Pecha Kucha event - a fast-paced visual conversation where a diverse group of creative thinkers show 20 compelling images for 20 seconds each - and will be a judge at the Cut&Paste Design Slam.
If you’d like too meet up and grab a drink or some dinner please shoot me an email at d.fano@case-inc.com. Hope to see you at AU!

In September 2009, Storefront for Art and Architecture will inaugurate an exhibition of the work of Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler, Architecture and Digital Fabrication, ETH Zurich and, in conjunction with NYC Department of Transportation’s Urban Art Program, Storefront will present the first architecture project to be digitally fabricated on site, at 1:1 scale, in the US.
So.. This is a bit off topic but not really
A blog that I read regularly (www.avc.com) posted this today last week (draft was started last week): http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2009/10/donors-choose-bloggers-challenge-going-for-the-threepeat.html and this is a link to Fred’s giving page.
All of the causes that Fred picked help young students learn with the assistance of technology. I just donated to Making Math Colorful Through Technology. besides a donation, I was thinking about proposing visual math with grasshopper. If simplified enough, do you think 5th graders would benefit from seeing simple math visually. I could imagine setting up sliders with integers that drive a simple series that makes boxes. If you know a teacher in the NYC area (or North East US) please let me know if this is something they would be interested in. I would really like to collaborate with them to see if we can use some of these visual techniques to teach simple concepts. This week I’ll post a video testing this out.
CASE recently wrote a Conceptual Design Curriculum for Autodesk, discussing concepts, techniques and strategies most beneficial to users for creating conceptual designs using such platforms as 3DS Max, Maya, and Revit. This curriculum is now available to download from Autodesk’s website.
