Revit

Revit is good program for making plans for buildings etc. you can use bird eyes view for doing floor plans and you can also use 3D mode where you can rotate the building and build using it that way. in revit you can also add pluming and pipes to it. you can add fire protection, furniture, lighting, doors, windows, etc. i recommend revit over sketch up because you can do a lot more than sketch up. sketch up you need to make your own things from scatch. revit has everything in it already.

Revit Day 4,5,6

i have posted for three days so here is my posts for those days. i have been working on my own project on Revit. i am building a 80' by 60' house single floor, 2 bedrooms, livings room, kitchen, and garage. i have been adding in furniture into the house now. i need to figure out how to add a second floor to buildings. i looked at the help tab how to but i still cant get it to make a new floor. besides that i have added windows and doors to all the rooms. there is a garage door and a door to get into the house from the garage. i had to delete the roof so i can move around the beds and everything else. i can add piping and all that stuff but i have no idea how to do that yet so ill be looking into that another day. the picture that i add is where i am so far on my house. the way im getting furniture in the house is by clicking on components

Revit Day 3

Day 3: today i was working on the shed and i added in an interior room, doors, and windows. Revit has numerous things you can do while building a project. you are able to change it from white and black to realistic, which make it look like an actual shed or what ever you are making. there is a difference between Sketch UP and Revit. in Sketch up you are able to make your own studs and rafters but in revit it already has materials in it which you can use. in sketch up i made a shed and i had to make the studs for it and everything. in revit i can just use the wall tool and its done. i am able to change the with of the wall. same as putting a roof on revit already has a tool for that but sketch up doesnt have a tool and you have to make it your self. sketch up is more time consuming than revit because you have to make everything. revit has more technology to it then sketch up. i have picture to show you the differences when i have it on realistic mode and then just plain mode. i always can render the shed which is also in the pictures. picture 3 is the rendered shed the black and white ones are the plain mode and the other ones are realistic mode.

Revit Day 2

Day 2: today i was watching the tutorial again. i got the roof on the shed now. there is a lot of tools and settings in Revit and it will probably take me awhile to learn all of it. i only now how to make walls and roof. i like Revit a lot more than Sketch Up because you make plans for the building and you can view it in 2D or 3D. i have no clue what ill be doing tomorrow.

Sketch Up Treehouse Day 3

Part 3: today i have put up the walls for the treehouse. i have used 2x4's to make the walls. the walls are 6ft and 4in high. it doesn't take long to make the walls because you can make one then click all the studs and make them into a group. then you can copy the group then move it to the other side of the building if it the same length. tomorrow i will be finishing on making the walls then ill be making some cupboards and beds to put up in the treehouse.
