Before you actually create the ceiling first check where you are placing it. With the new (ceiling) floor type made jump to a floor plan and hit the Ceiling tool.
Adjust the makeup to suit your floor types. To use this method simply create yourself some new compound ceiling types making sure you move the finish from the underside to the topside. The best thing about this is the fact that these ceiling sketches are dynamically linked to the room’s bounding elements.įor some unknown reason Autodesk have not yet included this feature in the flooring tools which is why using ceilings the ceiling toolset will save you hours!. This allows the user to simply click a room and the ceiling sketch will be applied to its perimeter. When using the ceiling tool, Revit has the great feature called Automatic Ceiling. Yes, that does sound a little daft i know but honestly, I think its going to work a treat and here's why. So, my cunning plan is to model the floor finishes in each room like the floor type method but this time using ceilings instead of floors…. As soon as a room contains more than one finish (which they almost always do) this method either becomes overly complicated or else breaks down completely. The alterative to this would be use the room parameters to provide floor finish information which is ok but only gets you so far. When this happened we had to modify the sketch of the floors to match the new wall face (and yet we could of locked it but i hate locking the model down too much). Whilst this approach did achieve its purpose of providing us modelled floor finishes it entailed endless updating when things changes such as wall build-ups. Previous attempts of modelling floor finishes using thin floor types proved painfully slow and inflexible. I say efficiently because this is something we have tried before but found it to be pretty labour intensive and a little too similar to polylining in AutoCAD for my liking.
Well, after a little Twitter banter between myself and David Light last night regarding modelling floor finished I appear to have spent the day trying to figure out how we can model floor finishes within our projects efficiently.
