Rev It Go~

Few weeks ago, I saw this movie. "Frozen"

You know, it was just awesome. (except the poor character, Hans)
Colors , textures, design, and the songs...
JUST GO AND WATCH!!

Most people may think that the highlight of this movie is the scene with the song 'Let it go'.

If you didn't watch yet, here it is.

Do you see the ice stair with ice railing?

Misusing Revit?

Here is one of my favorite movies.

In the movie, they escaped from Shawshank with some tools like this.

The book was also not used for reading.

I believe this small hammer is definitely not made for escaping from prison. But it worked quite well. Of course, there is nothing like the tool for jailbreak(not for iPhone).

So, it can be said, they escaped by "Misusing" the hammer. But, I'd like to say, they got redemption by taking advantage of the hammer.

And, here is one of my practices.

Curved Curtain Wall

User question: How can I make glaze and mullion curved in curtain wall?

Actually, it's not very often to have an opportunity to use curved glass in real projects. It's quite expensive. But it is possible to make in real world, so it should be possible in Revit.

Text String Value in Formula

As it is known that string value can't be used for results of  formulas. It means...

At the family above, if the TYPE should be..

if A < B,  TYPE = X

if A > B,  TYPE = Y

if A = B,  TYPE = Z

Document Ready Family

As an architect, one of the most important purpose of using Revit is making documents. Revit supports lots of great features for it. But, to get fine documents without errors, most parts of the building must be made with 3D model. And this can be annoying work sometimes.

Some rooms of buildings have general design guidelines. Restroom is a representative one. It has repetitive toilets, urinals and basins. With Revit and it's parameter, it can be made very easily and rapidly both 3d model & 2d documents.

Here is an example I made.

Visibility of Void

Here is a question.
Is it possible to control visibility of Void in a family?

Slope Arrow without Slope..WHAT???

Yesterday, I saw an old unsolved question at RevitCity by accident.(someone asked it again with point out link)

The point is, Grids of Sloped Glazing align to "world" not the object when it's not sloped. how can make it align to the object without angle input.

And Here is a solution I found.
