How To Apply A Solar Design Study In Revit

This Revit video tutorial provides detailed information on how to create a solar design study in Revit. The tutorial will be useful for building construction. Solar studies in Revit demonstrate the effect of natural light and shadows on the building model.

It is a very quick and simpler method. Initially, you have to establish what view you prefer to run the solar study. It can range from your Site plan, elevations, default 3D view or an internal camera view. The procedure is identical for all. Once you get your desired view, you should configure the sun settings. Choose the Sun path button on the view control bar along the bottom of the drawing window and opt for “Sun settings” to expose the sun settings dialogue box.

With Solar studies, one will be to visualize the effect of natural light and shadows on the exteriors and interiors of projects.

Apply solar studies to realize how shadows from terrain and adjacent buildings impact a site, or where natural light infiltrates a building at particular times of the day and year.

By providing the effect of natural light and shadows on your project, solar studies produce useful information that can help creating impressive passive solar design.

How To Use Spacing Naming Tool In Revit Mep

Earlier, Space Naming tool was an add-in. Now it is integrated with the software. This generally applied functionality is set up with Revit, making the method easy for getting up and running.

Space Naming tool can be applied for renaming spaces in the MEP model to the room names and/or numbers out of a connected architectural model.

Thus, one can get rid of allocating names manually to the spaces and save huge time and make the workflow simple.

In order to recognize spaces devoid of room names while matching the spaces to rooms, just follow this simple trick – prior to add spaces, set the connected architectural model to room bounding in type properties.

How To Generate Subregion Of A Toposurface In Revit Architecture

A subregion describes an area of the toposurface where a various set of properties can be used. As for instance, material.

Toposurface subregions belong to areas which should be drawn within current toposurfaces.

One can apply subregions to sketch parking lots on a graded surface, roads, or islands. To make the process easy apply a detailed component as a template and apply Pick Lines tool available in subregion editor. It is also possible to lock the boundaries of the subregion to the picked lines of the detail component. The subregion is modified automatically while shifting the detail component.

While generating subregions, no individual surfaces are produced. In order to make individual surfaces to be edited seperately, use the Split Surface tool.
