Do you hate formulas? So do I.

I've been using various formulas when I make families in Revit. They usually make my work easier, but make me crazy at the same time. I always try to use formulas as little as possible. (I'm not that math guy)

And here is one of the tips to get rid of formulas.

Folding Structure

To make a family like folding doors those enable to close and open, Pythagorean theorem can be used for it like this

3-points Circle, 3-points arch

Draw in Autacad
with 6 Circles

Draw in Revit
Only One Circle?

There are various ways to draw circles in Autocad, and they are very useful.

But, there's nothing like that in Revit. Center point-Radius, this is the only way.

So, here is a question. Is it possible to make circle with 2-points or 3-points method in Revit just like in Autocad? To tell the conclusion first, yes it is.

Helix, Helix, Helix...

When did you start using Revit?

In my case, it was the year of 2010. I've been using SketchUp for Modeling & Design, 3ds-max for rendering, and Autocad for drafting until then.

Revit was just awesome for me at the first time. But it took not much time for me to realize that modeling in Revit is not that easy comparing with SU or 3ds. Practicing was the only way to make it easy for me.

Few month later, someone asked me about how to make a Helix with Revit. Hmm.. that wasn't an easy mission for me at that time. And this one simple question made me to begin a journey to Helix.

I started googling. It was the first time for me to get to know Zach's blog. And This was what I read.

Step 1. Stacked Points

I've tried to follow, but could't get some parts to make it at that time.

So I found my own way like this.

The Perfect BIM Software Ever

There're lots of tools about BIM. Revit is just one of them.
And each of them has it's pros and cons.
I love Revit, but I need another tools for some reasons. I suppose everyone does.

What if, I just design then Revit makes all details, documents and make 4D construction simulations automatically.

I know one software which can make this kind of job done.

I'm starting Blogger in English

I have my blog with Korean  already.
But I realized that there're a lot more people interested in Revit besides Korea.

This is the graph of my YouTube chanel which shows number of views are dramatically increasing besides Korea.
