It would be great to have video on creating profile as well especially for people who is new to revit. Because it is basic skill that is going to be used all the time. You have such a way to explain things that makes it easy to memorize. Thank you
Hi Tatiana. Thanks for your feedback. I have yet to do a tutorial that specifically focuses on Profile creation (mainly because I already have a few videos that include it as a sub-topic) but I take your point that a standalone tutorial on profile creation would be beneficial for many users. In the meantime I develop out a particularly tricky paramteric profile family for a Parapet Capping which you might find informative: ua-cam.com/video/fSREXXlVT-U/v-deo.html Any questions at all feel free to pop over to the Discord Community and we'll try to help you out. discord.gg/kuzDTVNznH Niall
Thank you! I find out 8020 BIM has exactly what I need for modelling in each video. I am looking for more and more valuable videos from you. Thank you !
Hi Sir, I think your tutorial is strong enough and helpful. Just a quick one, would like to post a course explaining how to set Site coordinates of a model in revit. Thanks
With respect to slab edge transitions you can also break the sketch into multiple parts to assign slab edges to specific spots instead of fighting with grips. Then use your sketch lines to trim where you want the opening. On both jambs of the opening. The only thing I haven’t figured out is why revit won’t slab thicken on a mono slope edge. It will certainly do it if you have multiple slopes but not a mono slope edge. Any ideas on workflow?
At 3:42 it seems that you have made up a well organized system in Revit for rebar cover settings with different exposure classes and concrete grades. Could you please explain a little bit more about it? Thanks
hi thanks for the tutorial,,i follow your video but when i create a upstand family under generic ,,when i loaded it in the project..it doesnt appear in the slab edge as a family like you did...sry im very new to revit
@@baistosh Also, make sure in the visibility Graphics window that "Generic Models" is turned on as visible. Can sometimes be turned off as a template default. Happy Reviting!
@@8020BIM thank you, im new to revit ,really hope you didnt skip that making family of thickening and upstand part...i know its really basic for advance revit, but for someone like me, im in a confusion,...anyway thank you.,.
Hi Fernando. Hard to give any guidance on what might be causing this. If you could pop over to the discord channel (details in the video description) and post some images of the profile and the corner you are trying to wrap around it would give some useful insights which I might be able to give you advice on.

Niall. Is there a way to include the thickened profile so that it sits within the floor type? My concrete slab is not the lowermost layer in my floor type
Hi John. You can give the thickening a vertical offset value / parameter that will allow you dictate how far from the top/bottom surface of the overall floor construction the thickening profile gets situated. Then you can use the cut tool to cut the thickening away from the floor construction so that their is no sand blinding, hard-core etc visually passing through it. The join tool may also give the same effect while ensuring there is no separation between the concrete slab and connected thickening materials. Hope this gets you on your way to a solution.

For sure! So hard to write a title for youtube when you have to consider international lexicon! Thanks for the inputs Jonathan 👌

I wonder if I can change Profile family dimension in Edit type? It seems I need to make every single profile family.
hi thanks for the tutorial,,i follow your video but when i create a upstand family under generic ,,when i loaded it in the project..it doesnt appear in the slab edge as a family like you did...sry im very new to revit
oh..you need to edit the family Slab Edge - Thickened.rfa...then load it

@@8020BIM i notice the moment you have upstand duplicates (3 of them)/// i realize that you edit the slab edge thickened.rfa and draw a upstand..
Good evening sir. I wish to study mould for ppvc precast. If any tip plz refer to me
I made a custom profile for my slab edges and the corners just won't join. Not sure what to do.

Do it in a single pass by selecting all the edges or join them after if different
