The UK Olympic and Commonwealth teams focus on making small incremental improvements. Added together, these little changes make a much bigger overall improvement in performance.\u00a0 The same approach can be applied to working with Revit. Revit is a great modelling tool, but we can become even more efficient by improving the way we work.\u00a0 The biggest impact can come from many of the repetitive tasks and a little saved each time adds up to a bigger improvement in our performance.<\/p>\n

Here are 3 top tips to make modelling more efficient.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Learn the most used Revit Shortcuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will save you a lot of time. Most of us have two hands; use one for keyboard shortcuts and the other for controlling your mouse. Try these!<\/p>\n

Model:\u00a0<\/span>WA<\/strong>; Wall,\u00a0<\/span>DR<\/strong>; Door<\/p>\n

Annotation:\u00a0<\/span>TG<\/strong>; Tag by Category,\u00a0<\/span>TX<\/strong>; Text<\/p>\n

Navigating:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>ZA<\/strong>; Zoom All,\u00a0<\/span>ZP<\/strong>; Zoom Previous<\/p>\n

Modify:\u00a0<\/span>AL<\/strong>; Align,\u00a0<\/span>MV<\/strong>; Move,\u00a0<\/span>CP<\/strong>; Copy<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget you can create your own\u00a0shortcutsts for tools that don’t have default shortcuts, saving even more time.<\/p>\n

2. Create View Templates<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can save a lot of time setting up views using View Templates, in addition it makes sure you and your colleagues are keeping to agreed company standards.<\/p>\n

Using view templates to your advantage you can apply a view template that sets any visibility overrides, phase filters, and many other display settings.<\/p>\n

If you want to temporarily change the scale or visibility of a view without messing up the view template, there’s a tool for that, called Temporary View Properties. This is located on the bottom of your screen in the view control bar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Attention to Detail is important<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a BIM workflow it is equally important modelling, as it is generating a good set of construction documents, complete with detail drawings.<\/p>\n

Use a Hybrid 3D model\/2D drafting based approach; aim for a 80% 3D model, 20% 2D drafting split.<\/p>\n

Using this ratio will help you to leverage the parts of the model that are correct and suppress or modify the display of incorrect 3D model geometry.<\/p>\n

Then embellish with 2D detail components, line work, etc. Be aware of your Level of Detail requirement and avoid getting lost in the details!<\/p>\n
