A few student and i were invited by James Vandezande to speak at this weeks NYC Revit User Group Meeting  .  We presented the work from the workshop and discussed a few different ways to use Revit.

Here is the PDF presentation we gave (it’s big 30mb) - you might want to right click and do “save link as”

You can follow the students work on the forum.  Here are links to the students that presented on Thursday:

Disclaimer: This video is from an open help session with student to work through some of the problems they are encountering making advanced Revit Families. I stumble a bit with some of these models but it was meant to be a trial and error session. The intention was for students to get a sense of how we can trouble shoot some of the issues Revit throws back at us.

Software : Revit Architecture
Level : Intermediate / Advanced
Description : This group is building a parametric auditorium. In this session we are trying to figure out the best way to drive the seating arrangement from the floor angle. Also we are looking at the best way to control the massing.

Disclaimer: These video are from an open help session with student to work through some of the problems they are encountering making not so regular Revit Families. I stumble a bit with some of these models but it was meant to be a trial and error session. It was important for students to get a sense of how we can trouble shoot some of the issues Revit throws back at us.

Here is this groups project proposal. Please feel free to post some pointers or feedback as to how they could make the system better.

Software : Revit Architecture
Level : Intermediate / Advanced
Description : The group is making a parametric spider clip that will eventually be embedded in a curtain panel system. The problem that this group is trying to tackle is having th arm(s) of the spider clip be “self aware” of where they sit between 2 different curtain panel. we didn’t figure that part out but made some head way with reference line.
