TIP!
So how do I do this?
Interior Design, Fit out projects
Quick feasibility study or space planning when you are given
2D plans (DWGs, DGNs, Images).
Use room separation lines
Room schedules
10 mins to learn, 60 mins to master
Refer to session AB223-2P - Integrating Interior Design in
Autodesk Revit.
Caveat: Delete the room separation line when you are ready to
place the wall. Do not overlap room separation lines with walls!
Dear Autodesk: How about the ability to convert a room
separation line to a wall and back?
Massing - Types of Forms
Surface Forms
Extrusions
Revolves
Sweeps
Lofts
Computational form finding

Computational form finding - Basics
1. Create a 100’x100’x100’ box
2. Twist the box
3. Change the height
4. Change the width
5. Load into project
6. Create additional Types
7. Report floor area
