Wish I’d known about "unpinning" certain elements from a group a couple of years ago. I was designing a duplex townhouse and discovered how to use groups to save time (modelled one side, then mirrored it. But then, when I needed to change a couple of specific parts it was such a hassle. Now I know how to do this! Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I would love to see video for Structual and one for MEP as well. On the same project. MEP ’do:s and dont:s’ with groups. Keeping systems calculatable as an example. Similar for Structual.
hi Balkin, love your content. I would respectfully but strongly disagree with grouping floor or "PANCAKE MODELING" as i call it. This gets really messy with a lot of floors. If something like the sheathing changes from 5/8" to 1/4" (or you add a shear panel in later w/ structural coord), it makes alignments in section and coordinating with structural a nightmare (potentially). It also get funky with revit "auto-cleanup" at corners between floors etc .... Grouping is a decent solution but if the wall can be a single element, i would do it that way.
I miss one thing in this vodeo and it's how Revit gets lost with railings and curtain walls if they are part of groups... It's a huge disadvantag of this softwate but at some point if you have multiple groups that contain those elements Revit won't let you duplicate the existing group. It will force you to create a new one with a different name and then all the group idea behind gets lost... You can try to replace the new group with the previous one but if the group is complex it won't let you do that. I ended up creating Revit links instead of groups for repeated levels. Then the workflow is perfect, there are no erros,but you need to open the link each time you need to change it (you basically end up having to Revit windows open and work on both of them simultaneously and relinking them when you need to)
Why are there no columns in the house? I thought that whenever we build multi-stories houses, there should have columns to support all of those weights.
hello i like your videos there is something i would you to help show us how to design certain roof types in revit like the cross gable roof and many more i wish i could attach here pictures of them
@balkanarchitect I am sorry to bother you... I am just having a bit of trouble with revit.... Firstly, every time I switch graphic display from either wire frame, hidden lines, consistent colors, or shaded, to realistic mode, my model looks like it disapears. its all invisible it appears white. Do you happened to know why. I use to have revit 2018 and ever since i urgraded to newerversions this happens. I dont know whats going on or how to fix it. Can you please help me

absolutely brilliant
Greetings from India 😇
Your videos helps me alot to improve in Revit modeling. Thank you..

Golden advices. Thx.
Brilliant explanation.

Beautiful..
You the man!
Your videos are really nice..I mean it helps me alot..
you need to show what happens when you have interior elements, cabinets, bathroom fixtures and then add notes, tags, dimensions etc
This^
Is there an easier way of adding tags and detail lines without ungrouping and regrouping the elements?
Great stuff ! Could you do a tutorial on Bay windows - specifcally the UK version - Thanks
Share a complete multi storied building design tutorial step by step
thanks!

@balkanarchitect is it possible if you amend the first floor and the changes are automatically changed on the other levels ??????????
