Revit Noob here, coming from AutoCAD Fabrication MEP from the Pipetrades for about 5 years. trying to learn Revit for some other job opportunities, feel like Revit is the future
I have been a huge Apple fan for many years. But recently my brother who is an IT Guy, introduced me to the Microsoft surface.. It is great to use it. It's a great alternative to the ipad. Since Revit Is basically for pc, using the Microsoft surface and the apps that they are coming out with is starting into look like a really, really good alternative to the Apple ecosystem. I still won't get rid of my iphone. I can't let that go. But just the ease of Workflow using everything on a Windows based platform for Revit is becoming a lot easier nowadays.
I used a surface pro for almost 3 years back in 2018.... it was great. however, it couldnt handle the Twinmotion/Enscape type of software well... and it always felt like it couldnt decide if it wanted to be at tablet or laptop... so it wasnt GREAT at either... but your point is valid.
Man, loved the option that's not going to get built! Final solution is great too, especially considering the constraints you presented. Nice design and thanks for sharing the workflow.
Thanks, your shows are awesome. Design options is the best for alterations and additions. Clients like to have more than one option. At least you don't have to have another drawing, it can all be done in one drawing. When client is happy with option, push accept and everything isd back to normal again. Must admit it does take getting your head around it.
I used Revit, take a screen shot and use a tablet to sketch on top of that, of print the drawings and then sketch on them. Havent used an iPad + Apple Pencil to do it, but that's what we should all go for. Also the more details you add the most "modelling" you do the better design evolves..
I use GoodNotes on my iPad. 90% of the time it’s handwritten notes but can also bring in screenshots to draw over. Still difficult getting the screenshot to iPad. For that I have a private discord channel which I cut and paste into from computer and grab from in iPad. It doesn’t have layers though so I think I will take a look at the other 2 you talked about.
With this being a design-build and you’re also acting as the GC, do you have a formal contract in place with the subcontractors? I am going to be going through a similar process and wanted to see how you were approaching the legal side of things.
yes, I am a license home improvement contractor (and Architect, of course) in my state with general liability insurance. I have not contracted with any subs yet as it is early in the process but I will be bidding and contracting with subs individually. correct. I am going to try and share as much of the build side as the design side with this project!
@@TheRevitKidI am going through all of your videos but this one project from scratch will help me a lot.. If you can showcase that it would be a great help for me..

Welcome to the party!! :)
Love this kind of video where we can see the design process and thought behind it! ❤
Cheers!

Haha we're already changing it a bit based on some more constraints... but, that is the design process, right?!

@@cartoon-network814 cheers! Thanks for sharing and couldn’t agree more!
I use morpholio on the ipad and the workflow is awesome

I use onedrive on windows and on my ipad. It synchronizes almost instantly for pictures!
