Really good tutorial, I did feasibility massing this week, and learn much tips from your tutorial. I wish I could watch some other different stages tutuorials, like from feasibility study-concept design-DA-Construction Documentations. As a graduate, I won't fear do something new after watching your tutorials, really helps. Thx mate.
Thanks so much, glad the videos are giving you the confidence heading into your next career stage! The later design stages are difficult to learn in video format, however I will likely tailor some documentation focused tutorials at a later date such as how to set up a partitions set out plan, manage a coordination RCP etc. Overall, those skills will come to you as a graduate with time and project experience mostly - if ever you need some advice for any of these stages happy to help via email :)
Aussie BIM Guru my bad! I needed to be in “edit in place” to see that Subcategory option. Before I just selected the Model in place and not seeing the parameter. :)
Hi Gavin, really nice tutorial as always. Just one question, would it be possible or maybe to reiterate my question, could we do this only with object styles? I mean not use Design Option but just setup object styles as you need for generic and massing categories. Would we be able to generate the visuals and also the data from them the same as you did? Thank you, appreciate your time!
hello ! why did you create a DATUM level instead of just elevating the base point to 65m? that way you could keep the levels realistic for the next steps of the project, no?
@@AussieBIMGuru but what if you're doing a project at a high elevation site? I'm not sure how far away from internal origin you must be for graphics start to glitch, but wouldn't it be saffer if you unclip the survey point, assign a elevation close enough, and then create the Datum level bellow? Let's say your project is 852,45m over sea level. You could assing 850m to the survey point, move access level to the desired elevation (2,45m up) and create Datum level 850m bellow the Survey Point. It bugs my mind to keep the Survey Point and the PBP far away from the building.
Yes you could do this also for a high elevation site too, although keep in mind a lot of CAD files are set to z =0 is RL = 0 so I'd make datum level at 0 always. At the end of the day relativity is the key so either specifying survey point at 0 or a specific value can achieve the same goal. Revit has a roughly 14km window it works within so generally you wont get errors for a while if you're elevated somewhat.
Greetings from Turkey :) your videos are too informative, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Always nice to know they get around the world :)
wow I like the outputs, didn't expect such a nice product at the end especially the 3D graphical representations, thanks again
You're welcome!
I like your use of object styles for phasing.
Thanks! Much easier for rough/basic models like this where shortcuts wont damage the BIM model too much

yo dood you are a life saver. coffee on me when i come down to sydney
Haha sounds good!
Thanks for sharing your tips ! It's helping me a lot :)
Despite my level of English, you're clear

That's great Daniel, thanks for the support!
Thanks for these very helpful tutorials. How did you associated the subcategory parameter drop down with VG Generic Model subcategory @28:15
Under manage 》object styles I added some subcategories to generic models.
@@AussieBIMGuru I got to that point, but under the Identity Data of the massing, there is no parameter called Subcategory.
@@myathtooaung2582 make sure you added it under massing if you are in this category.

Yes you could do it that way, although it's more of a layer based approach so at odds with the tools available I'd say.
@@AussieBIMGuru Understandable, thank you for the prompt reply!

Main reason is that if the project changes in height we can just push survey point and datum level down instead of having to move the entire model up.

3:50 can you use drones for this?
Yeah whatever returns a viable format for referencing in Revit suits a site modelling workflow. Could be point cloud from drone/lidar.
Hei i am from melbourne is there anyway that i could get some lesson.
Hi Ash, feel free to submit a ticket to my business. I offer 1 on 1 sessions via web (paid).
