Easily Learn How to Build Masses in Revit 2013

This week, Brad Beck teaches us conceptual Massing tools within Revit 2013.



He shows us two distinct ways to create a mass: either free-form through the Conceptual Mass Environment, or more prescriptively through the In-Place Component Family. Then, he shows us how to take these two different masses, bring them into a project, add building elements such as roofs, walls, and floors, and separate them into different options using the Design Options tool.



When you are done with this course, you will be able to build nearly any massing form and understand how to schedule them separately so you can compare them side by side on one sheet.

Here is a link to the course and below you will find a list of the pertinent videos.
