The document discusses how to create wall assembly details in Revit by turning a wall segment into parts that can be manipulated individually, and then grouping the parts into an assembly to generate views, details, and schedules of the wall layers and construction. It also provides examples of using the parts and assemblies tools to model and document different wall construction details.
This presentation tells how CO Architects, Los Angeles (www.COArchitects.com) merged their longstanding QA/QC program with Revit by creating a customized BIM project template. This sharpened our production process across all project teams, and brought built-in uniformity to our construction documents.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Creating wall type details using parts and assemblies
1. Creating Wall Type Details using Parts and Assemblies
Using a combination of 2 new tools in Revit
2012, Parts and Assemblies, you can create
Details that show the wall types in your
projects with the layers of construction
pulled back.
First, create a small length of wall that you
want to detail, and place it on a Phase that
exists after your other project Phases. You
may want to name this Phase "Detailing" or
some other description that makes sense to
you. We place this wall on a later Phase so
it wont affect our current project.
Next, select the wall, and turn it into Parts
using the Parts tool in the Modify>Create
tab.
Then, select each layer of material, and in
Properties, turn on Shape Handles. Use the
shape handles to pull back the layers of
construction to reveal other layers.
Then select all the Parts for the wall, and
turn them into an Assembly by using the
Modify>Create>Assemblies tool.
Once they are an Assembly, you can right-click on the Assembly in the Project Browser and use the
Create Assembly Views option to make plans, sections, 3D views, and even schedules of the Parts.
Use the Annotate tab to add annotations to your views. Text, dimensions, keynotes, etc can all be added
to these views, including the 3D Assembly view.
Place the Assembly Views on an Assembly Sheet to create the detail sheet for that specific wall type.
2. Creating 3D Details
Creating 3D details of any part of a Revit project is easy! Use the Orient to View option located on the
right-click menu of the View Cube. But first, you need to make a view that you want to create the 3D
detail of. This can be any Revit plan, section, elevation, callout, or even another 3D view.
Making a 3D detail using a Callout:
1. In a plan view, place a Call out (View Tab>Callout) around the objects you would like to see in a
3D detail. Name your Call out View to easily locate it later.
2. Switch to a 3D view, preferably the default 3D view or a new 3D view, or any 3D view that you
don't mind changing the appearance of.
3. Right-click on the View Cube, and choose Orient to View>Floor Plans and choose the Callout you
just made and named,
4. The current 3D view will move and change to a top-down 3D view, with a 3D section box placed
at the same position as the border of the Callout, automatically cropping the 3D view.
5. Using any navigation technique, whether it be an Orbit using the mouse, the View Cube, or a 3D
Space Navigator device, re-orient this new top-down 3D view into an isometric view of your
choice.
6. Select the 3D Section Box to edit the crop extents of the 3D view.
7. In Revit 2012, use the new "Save Orientation and Lock View" option from the view Control Bar
at the bottom of the window.
8. Add Annotations/Tags/Dimensions/etc. to your new 3D detail, and place on a sheet.
This technique can be used to orient a 3D view to a Detail section, a plan, sections, and more. Explore
the different options!
3. Custom Stairs Representation Based on Real Cases
This article provides five samples to explain how to customize the component based stair
documentation step by step. Component-based stairs can be created in Revit 2013. These examples are
as follows:
For sketch-based stairs, the path and cut mark are integrated with the stair as a whole part. However,
for component-based stairs, stair path is an independent annotation object, and there is an independent
type for the stair cut mark. These changes provide great flexibility for the stair documentation.
Below are some real case examples to elaborate how to use the new functions to achieve them.
Sample 1
Step 1:
Create a switchback assembled stair using the default type in the project:
4. Step 2:
Turn on the subcategory of <Above> Up Arrows:
It shows as:
Step 3:
Select the stair path, go to type properties, and customize the line shape at landing corner:
5. The stair is shown as:
Step 4:
Turn off categories of <Above> Riser Lines/ <Above> supports.
7. Stair represents as:
Sample 2
Step 1:
Create a switchback assembled stair using the default type in the project:
8. Step 2:
Turn on the subcategory of <Above> Up Arrows:
Step 3:
Customize the cut mark type; in the stair type properties, check the cut mark type as follows:
9. Cut marks become:
Step 4:
Select the stair path, and use the shape handles to move it to the appropriate location:
10. Step 5:
Turn off categories of <Above> Riser Lines/ <Above> supports.
The stair represents as what exactly shows in the sample drawing:
Sample 3
11. Step 1:
Create a switchback assembled stair using the default type in the project:
Step 2:
Turn off categories of <Above> Nosing Lines, <Above> Riser Lines, <Above> Supports ,and Riser Lines.
12. Stair shows as:
Step 3:
Select the stair path, and change the value of “Start Extension” in type properties:
13. It is shown as:
Step 3:
Change the cut mark type in stair type properties:
14. It shows as:
Sample 4
Step 1:
Create a switchback assembled stair using the default type in the project:
15. Step 2:
Turn off categories of <Above> Riser Lines, <Above> Supports:
It is shown as:
16. Step 3:
Customize the cut mark type in stairs type properties:
It is shown as:
Step 4:
17. Select the stair path, and customize its type properties:
Stair path will be shown as full step arrow:
Sample 5
18. Step 1:
Create a switchback assembled stair using the default type in the project:
Step 2:
Turn off all the <Above> related categories and Riser Lines:
19. It is shown as:
Step 3:
Customize the stair path by changing the parameters in its type properties. Please note the change of
the path family type to “Automatic Up/Down Direction”.
20. After that, the stair will be shown exactly like what’s in the sample drawing;
21. Placing Spot Elevations/Slope Annotations on Ramps
When in a plan view Revit will not allow you to directly annotate a ramp object with a spot elevation or
spot slope.
To get around this limitation it is possibel to place a spot slope or elevation annotation on an object such
as a floor and then move the annotation to the ramp object. Placing the annotation on the floor first
allows the annotation to report the correct values. When it is moved to the ramp object, the annotation
will report the values from the ramp object correctly as if it was originally placed on the ramp.
Once the annotation has been moved away from the floor object, the original floor can be deleted from
the project if desired.
22. Entourage using Detail Components
Giving your views some background or an "environment" can bring life to the views you create.
Use the attached detail componet families in your elevation and section views to provide some
environment. Attached below is a Graphic Linework Tree family and a Graphic Linework People Family.
Each family is a detail component family with different types used to define different graphic looks. Each
tree family also has a white mask that can be turned on an off at the instance level controling if the tree
is opaque or transparent. Each person type has this control as well and additional control so the pattern
of the figures clothing can be turned on or off, or a control to make the figure completly filled in black.
23. Keep in mind these families are detail components. Detail component families are view specific and
placed from the "Detail Component" tool on the Annotate tab of the ribbon. Detail components also are
always displayed "on top" of model elements in a view so if you uses these families in a situation where
the model needs to be "in front" of them you may have to make some modifications or use some
drafting tools in the view to "hide" portions of these families you don't want to see.
Use these families (and others you might create) to give your sections and elevations some architectural
graphic "flair"
The concept for this article and these families were orginally published in a blog by Robert Shamilevich.
Here is a link to the original translated (originally posted in Russian) post on the Art Architecture blog.
These familes used the originals posted and combined them into one famliy that uses different types to
provide the different looks for the people and trees.
Show off and share, create your own graphic linework detail componet entourage families and attach
them to this article. Be sure to update the article to let us know what you added.
25. Two Pick Family to Calculate Fire Exit Distance
Use the example family to create a fire exiting diagram. The
travel line family uses shared parameters in order to group
the lines together and calculate the total length in a
schedule.
Watch the video and
see how the lines are
placed in a project and
calculated for total
length in a schedule.
You can also download
the sample project so
you can experiment
examine how this
family is used in a
project. The example
project also includes a
tag that can be used to tag the undividual lines of the path with the path name and/or segment
distance.

26. Optimal Performace Suggestions for Revit Architecture
I've comprised a list of suggestions for optimal performance regarding Revit Architecture. These were
pulled from many reading sources over the last year and have been made "standard" for my office for
best practice. I hope you find them useful!
Regularly check and resolve Warnings. (Continue this process throughout entire project.)
* Manage Tab - Inquiry - Warnings
Ensure all paths are pathed directly to project file, not "mapped" drives.
All linked Revit files should also be pathed directly and then labeled "Absolute", (not relative).
* Manage Worksets - Revit Tab - Path Type (To the right side of Saved Path Column)
Minimize the number of linked or imported dwg files.
* It's best to "clean-up" dwg's before importing.
* Turn off dwg files in perpendicular views, as it will only show as collinear lines in elevation, causing
performance degradation.
* Delete dwg's if unused or un-needed.
"Clean-up" all linked files before linking them. (See Linking Files/ Models handout)
* Remove any un-used sheets, views, links, etc.
* Purge & Audit
Create a family component instead of in-place families when possible, especially for repetitive
components. Each in-place family has separate type attributes that Revit has to reference.
Families require fewer resources than groups. Groups are powerful, but updating large
quantities of group instances consumes significant computing resources.
Where possible, avoid widespread use of voids in family geometry.
Remove un-needed raster images and renderings.
Avoid unnecessary Groups - delete from project browser.
Wireframe and Shading can be 3 times faster than Hidden Line or Shading w/ Edges.
Avoid hiding large quantities of individual elements in views.
Delete unused views if at all possible.
