Advanced Autodesk® Revit® Modeling Techniques Using Complex Geometry Marcello Sgambelluri BIM Director – John Martin Structural Engineers

Class Summary This class will cover advanced modeling techniques in Autodesk Revit software by using unconventional modeling elements to "guide" the creation of complex geometry. This is done by using everyday commands to have elements within the project environment support and follow the contours of complex forms from curved undulating roofs and site topography to extremely complex organic animal shapes.

Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to: Create complex walls, floors, roofs, and beams that follow the shape of any roof surface Create walls that exactly follow the contours of any site topography Apply the intersection method to model complex geometry Apply new techniques of modeling complex geometry to any form including organic, free-form shapes

The Following Subjects will be covered using Live Demonstrations

Create Beams On Roof Surface (1-Dir.)
