I'm learning so many things from Balkan Architect tutorial video. Many thanks .keep uploading dude

Balkan tutorials is very interesting...and also easy to learn with Balkan ...I have learned so much by seeing Balkan tutorials....tq so much Balkan

In the process of transition from Autocad to Revit, this is a good tutorial to use your detail library and keep going.

Brilliant thanks

Nice Revit class

Awesome

One of the golden rules of Revit in professional practice is 'do not import CAD'. The model gets heavily polluted with line styles and fills. As another viewer suggested, nesting into a detail family and cleaning up first is the best method.

I usually link the cad rather than importing it. And trace the cad detail then De-link.

@@jenniferguzman6952 that's a good workflow when the detail isn't too heavy. As long as the 'mess' is cleaned out of the family before loading it exploding is OK, but it requires cleaning out object styles, fill patterns, line patterns and materials.

@@AussieBIMGuru I agree, exploding would cause issues later. Which is why I link then de-link. Then I have the detail in Revit forever. Can also be useful in a separate file to create "standard details".

Thanks for the tip! Yes it can be annoying to get so many new line styles. I didn't know about the workaround, good thing that there is a way of avoiding that. 🙂

@@balkanarchitect the modelical package for dynamo has a node to remove all line patterns containing the word 'IMPORT', but it's usually the imported object styles that are harder to clean up, Revit API has limited access to these.

really bad advice. if you do this in a company environment, your bin manager is gonna get super pissed. importing cad drawings directly in your project will screw up all your line styles and import all the chaotic line styles from the dwg details. you would end up having in some cases over 1000 line styles which is shit. The right way to import a cad detail into a drafting view is to create a detail element family and then import the cad in that family. you can explode it, modify it, etc and only afterwards load it in the project. that way you can also quantify it.

Thank you for this video i have learned something new I hope you all good

Do you have a tutorial for a full renovation project from demolition to proposed floor plan to RCP? How do you show a lighting layout with soffits in an RCP?

I don’t know why did I subscribed to this channel. This dude is talkative.

Hi Balkan Architect, Very good tutorial. Well explained, however I would caution exploding CAD files in revit projects because it would increase file size. I suggest linking CAD files or importing CAD details in a separate blank Revit project, explode it, purge it & make all necessary changes then link the view to your current Revit project. 🤓

Hellow. In Structure, can you show how to extract quantity and type of piles from pile cap family for scheduling purposes. eg. 4 pile group, say 600 dia pile used and pile annotation to be given as P1. any tips pls share

Hi Balkan, i just have a question after tracing the image how do you edit the line weight of thin lines in drafting view? Thank you

Have a lot of doubt about it.. Good choice of topic.. Very much needed👍.. When I try to import cadd directly to a floor level, some kind of error occurs and nothing gets imported..Do you know why is it so?.. Hope you'll explain them in next classes.. Your classes are my goto for all revit doubts.. They are really helping me improve my revit skills!!! 🙌

Hi Will yu plz make a video on steel structures like how to make safety grills or other steel grills in Revit...?

Браво, само цепај.

no wayyyyyyyy

Hi balkan

this is a big no no way as far as using autocad details in revit.

Is Macbook bro better for architectural work, as apps like, revit, AutoCAD, maya, lumion etc..

No, you cant run revit on mac. The only way you can install Revit on mac is using the VMWARE which allows you to run windows on mac Hope thats answers your question 😌

most Mac's doesn't have the hardware power to run 3D rendering softwares like Lumion properly (Unless you spend ALOT of money for the high high end ones) but even then better to buy a windows with powerful Hardware because all software is available unlike mac which has only a few available.

Vishal I have the MacBook Pro 16inch. And I can run archicad, AutoCAD, maya and many more well. My workflow consists of using Autocad for quick plan drawings, then I take it to rhinoceros, and finally render in maya. I use archicad/GH for structural analysis

Import CAD and explode?????? I would be pissed off if someone did that at work! You are providing bad information, always link your CAD files!

Please do not do this. This is terrible advice because it will bring all kind of junk into your files which is difficult to clean-up afterwards. If you don't have to share the model with others or work on a central file, fine... But other than that, never do this.
