BIM and Autodesk Revit
1.1 BIM and Autodesk Revit

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an approach to the entire


building life cycle, including design, construction, and facilities
management. The BIM process supports the ability to coordinate,
update, and share design data with team members across
disciplines
The Autodesk Revit software is considered a Parametric
Building Modeler
Parametric: A relationship is established between building elements: when one
element changes, other related elements change as well.
For example, if you add an element in a plan view, it also displays in all of the
other views

Building: The software is designed for working with buildings and the
surrounding landscape, as opposed to gears or highways
Modeler: A project is built in a single file based on the 3D building model, as shown on the left in Figure. All views, such
as plans (as shown on the right in Figure), elevations, sections, details, construction documents, and reports are
generated based on the model
Workflow and BIM
BIM has changed the process of how a building is planned, budgeted, designed,
constructed, and (in some cases) operated and maintained
Revit and Construction Documents

In the traditional workflow, the most time-consuming part of the project is the
construction documents. With BIM, the base views of those documents (i.e.,
plans, elevations, sections, and schedules) are produced automatically and
update as the model is updated, saving hours of work. The views are then placed
on sheets that form the construction document set
1.2 Overview of the Interface
1. Quick Access Too bar
2. Status Bar
3. File tab
4. Ribbon
5. Options Bar
6. Properties Palette
7. Project Browser
8. View Window
9. Navigation Bar
10. View Control Bar
1 Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar (shown in Figure) includes commonly used commands,
such as Open, Save, Undo, Redo, and Print. It also includes frequently used
annotation tools, including Measuring tools, Aligned Dimension, Tag by
Category, and Text. Viewing tools, including several different 3D Views and
Sections, are also easily accessed here
2 Status Bar

The Status Bar provides information about the current process, such as the
next step for a command
Shortcut Menus
Shortcut menus help you to work smoothly and
efficiently by enabling you to quickly access
required commands. These menus provide access
to basic viewing commands, recently used
commands, and the available Browsers, as shown
in Figure. Additional options vary depending on
the element or command that you are using
3 File Tab

The File tab of the ribbon provides access to file


commands, settings, and documents, as shown in
Figure. Hover the cursor over a command to display
a list of additional tools.

Note If you click the primary icon, rather than the


arrow, it starts the default command.
4- Ribbon
The ribbon contains tools in a series of tabs and panels as shown in Figure .
Selecting a tab displays a group of related panels. The panels contain a variety of
tools, grouped by task.

When you start a command that creates new elements or you select an element,
the ribbon displays the Modify | contextual tab. This contains general editing
commands and command specific tools, as shown in Figure
Many commands have shortcut keys. For example, type AL for Align or MV for
Move. They are listed next to the name of the command in the tooltips. Do not
press <Enter> when typing shortcuts.

To arrange the order in which the ribbon tabs are displayed, select the tab, hold
<Ctrl>, and drag it to a new location. The location is remembered when you
restart the software.

Any panel can be dragged by its title into the view window to become a floating
panel. Click the Return Panels to Ribbon button (as shown in Figure ) to
reposition the panel in the ribbon
When you are finished working with a tool, you typically default back to the
Modify command. To end a command, use one of the
following methods:
In any tab on the ribbon, click (Modify).
Press <Esc> once or twice to revert to Modify.
Right-click and select Cancel… once or twice.
Start another command
5 - Options Bar
The Options Bar displays options that are related to the selected command or
element
6 - Properties Palette
The Properties palette includes the Type
Selector, which enables you to choose the size
or style of the element you are adding or
modifying. This palette is also where you make
changes to information (parameters) about
elements or views, as shown in Figure. There
are two types of properties
Instance Properties are set for the individual element(s) you
are creating or modifying.

Type Properties control options for all elements of the


same type. If you modify these parameter values, all
elements of the selected type change
7 - Project Browser
The Project Browser lists the views that can be
opened in the project, as shown in Figure. This
includes all views of the model in which you
are working and any additional views that you
create, such as floor plans, ceiling plans, 3D
views, elevations, sections, etc. It also includes
views of schedules, legends, sheets (for
plotting), groups, and Autodesk Revit Links.
8 - View Window
Each view of a project opens in its own window. Each view displays a Navigation
Bar (for quick access to viewing tools) and the View Control Bar
9 - Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar enables you to access various viewing commands, as shown
in
10 - View Control Bar
Note The number of options in the View Control Bar change when you are in a 3D
view.The View Control Bar (shown in Figure), displays at the bottom of each view
window. It controls aspects of that view, such as the scale and detail level. It also
includes tools that display parts of the view and hide or isolate elements in the
view.
