After mastering basic modeling in Revit software, many users hit the wall and struggle with this vital aspect of project delivery. This class will teach you how to bridge the gap between modeling and detailing, taking full advantage of the 3D model and adding 2D embellishments combined with display modification to create your construction details. This session features Revit Architecture.  \nSpeaker  \nWith a background as a registered architect, Matt Dillon has over 30 years of experience in Autodesk Architectural applications and is an Autodesk Certified Instructor at an Autodesk Authorized Training Center. In addition to assisting customers implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Revit Platform products, Dillon has also consulted with Autodesk, Inc. , development staff in product design and usability for AutoCAD Architecture software. A published author, Dillon was one of the recipients of Autodesk's Distinguished Speaker Award in 2010, and he has been a highly rated instructor at Autodesk University since he first began presenting in 2000.  \nIntroduction  \nMuch attention is paid in any demonstration or class having to do with Autodesk Revit on the modeling process, and downstream uses of the model such as analysis, simulation and visualization, among others. To be sure, these are all important; without a model you don’t have a project, after all, and all those downstream uses are benefits of the BIM process. Equally important, however, is the ability to create construction documents that go beyond the model. Unfortunately, many firms choose to forego using the detailing and drafting tools in Revit and choose instead to generate their details in AutoCAD. This is a bad idea for at least two reasons.  \n• Generating details in AutoCAD separates the detailing process from the Revit workflow, creating a disconnect between the model and the construction documents and increasing the opportunity for errors and omissions.  \n• Generating details in DWG format and then importing/linking those details into the Revit model so they can be plotted on sheets in the Revit project can affect the model in adverse ways. File size can grow disproportionally to the size of the DWG files being imported, and the project file may become unstable. In general, it is not a good idea to have a lot of DWG files in a Revit project.  \nAdmittedly, the drafting and detailing process in Revit is markedly different than AutoCAD’s, and that is probably the main reason that firms tend to adopt it last, if at all. However, once the tools have been mastered, most users report that they are creating details faster and more accurately than they used to in AutoCAD. It just takes a little investment in learning the new tools and processes.  \nThe process of creating a hybrid 3D/2D detail (that is, a detail based partly on the project’s model geometry and partly on 2D embellishments) can be broken down into four basic steps or processes which this class will address in detail:  \n1) Determine what to model and what not to model. Find the best balance between model geometry and 2D geometry which, when combined, will give you a valid construction detail with the least amount of effort.  \n2) Modify Detail View Properties to Facilitate Effective Communication of Detail Geometry. This does not mean incorrect geometry.
