Thank you !
Brother you saved my day this really helped me to create family as per my requirement
I am glad to be of help
Really great video!! Thx from Brazil! 😁
Thank you ☺
Hi! Nice video but as others said in the comments the video is maybe too fast and there are several minor details that are overlooked. For instance. At min 3:30 you create the spline selecting the ref points with a selection box. If instead I click over the two lower points, when it creates the spline passing by the 3 lower points it says "the geometry does not define a plane". Following your video with the selection box it does not give the warning, but why? Does it change something in selecting the points by clicking on them instead of selecting them with a selection box?
Hi! Thank you! Yeah! I will adjust the speed on my next bridge video. Thanks for the feedback. It should give the same result by selecting them one by one and select them with a selection box.
@@EngineerBear90 Hi! I tried again today and I noticed that when clicking on a point it changes the shown plane...it select a weird or horizontal inclined plane that I don't get if i select them with the selection box. Is there a way to prevent this change of plane upon the point selection? Because i if then click on the Front plane to set the previous plane it does not work, it gives the warning. The only solution at the moment is to Undo and avoid to change the plane in the spline tracking process.
@@candalserendipitero3626 Hello! Not sure what the problem here is! Could you send me an E-mail with some picture?
@@EngineerBear90 Hi! I just saw your other video with the curved box girder bridge with varying height and around 7:04 you have the same warning. However it does not seem to be a problem because you have no problem afterwards.
@@candalserendipitero3626 Great it worked out!
nice
Thanks
Can i do it without adaptive points ?
Yes, you dont really need the adaptive points to create the bridge, just create or import a fixed curve and create points on the curve and place out the profile.
What's packages find node "Toposolid.BypPointsTypeAndLevel?
thanks sir !
You are welcome!
I don't understand a thing of what you are saying.
:(
Many Thanks
You are welcome!
Go slow and your speaking fast and voice also low... beginners won't understand if you are going too fast
Thank you for your feedback! Will adjust. Worth mentioning, this is the last video I edited on hitfilm express before switching to DaVinci, hopefully the new videos have a little better sound quality.
Awesome bro.. can u do a video about water slide revit adaptive family where u can change the tube size, length and radius of the slide..i really hoping for it..
Thanks! Waterslides! - not my area of expertise :p But I will put it on my list, and I might do it in the future! But I would recommend watching my adaptive bridge family videos, the principles may be used on waterslides to.
Everything works Perfect! Thank you!!!!
Genius ...bro ...thanks a lot
Thanks
Thanks for the lesson, EB. I will be trying it out in my projects. PS. Happy belated birthday! 🎉
Thank you for that, been eating alot of cake🎂 Keep me updated on how it went with creation of toposolid
Just found this channel. Wealth of knowledge. You should put together a full course covering these advanced topics, I would happily pay for that. Most of the avaliable courses barely touch the surface of what revit can do, and discovering them on your own without a well thought course to guide you, takes so much effort and time that it's prohibiting for most people who have to learn revit while working.
Thank you, appreciate it! My plan in the future is to make several courses on the different topics Iam now creating tutorials on her on my youtube chanel. But it wont come anytime soon, Iam guessing in a couple of years, first I would like to create videos here.
Can this sequence be applied in revit 2024 and earlier versions?
Yes, but the only thing you need to change is the last node Toposolid.ByPointsTypeAndLevel to Topography.Points for Revit 2023 and earlier.
cool
Thank you
Simple fast educational. Thank you
Thank you!:)
Great content! Could you please make a tutorial for box concrete manhole with benching with four inlets? The benching is tricky when there are couple of pipes going in
Thank you! Iam not sure what you mean! could you send me the data sheet on the product to my e-mail?
@@EngineerBear90 Thank you for responding! just saw it could you share your email please, i can only see your webpage

Perfect as usual! Your remarks & comments are very valuable. Thx 🙂
Thx! Comments like these make me very happy☺
Hi EB You really inspire me to go deeper with my Revit learning. Thanks again for the great content you share on this channel. I feel like i've struck gold with these resources.
Hi EL Thank you for your kind words! Really glad my videos are helpful.
I've made it but my elements are not moving if I type a different coordinate. What do I need to do if I want to move the elements ? Lets say I get the coordinates using your script and now I will update the table with the correct figures for coordinates in order to place the elements in the right location.
Hey! This script is not created for moving the columns to a new physical location, it only reports back the actual coordinates back to each individual family. I would look at the place family at specified coordinates video on my channel.
Many thanks! Great tutorial!
@@engjohnattan Thank you!
This one killing ❤
Well, thank you!😀
Hi Brage. I´been following you for years watching some of you nice and inteligent videos and workflows, and this is the first time I reach you out. So congrats and big thank you for your work and time spent on this. Here´s my question about the lenght of these columns, are they the same? Well, I´m dealing in some pile testing with different heights per each pile in the same foundation and I´d like to know if you have tested a sample with this case. Thank in advance and thanks again
Hi Pedroc! Thank you! I am glad my videos have been helpful. No, every column, after the dynamo script is run, has an individual length based on the distance to the toposolid. Are you extending the columns to a toposolid? Feel free to send me the Revit file or some pictures on the "problem" to my E-mail.
Brilliant! Thanks for another helpful video, EB.👏
Thank you ☺
nice!
Thanks☺
what abour curved and sloped lines?
I will create a video about that this year!
Great video
Thank you :)
Thanks mate
NP mate
great as always my friend :)
Thank you so much :)
Thank you, I learned a lot.
Iam glad to hear that.
Excellent. Pls continue sharing the knowledge
Thank you. much appreciated!
Hi there! Great tutorial! If I want to model an SBG with changing of thickness of the bottom slab in the same piece of SBG, how would you suggest modelling it using the same method?
Hey! Thank you! I will drop a video about modeling a box girder with varying height 3.juni. In that video I will use two splines and a cross-section containing two adaptive points.
can you create a curved line based parametric family, too? by giving the culverts start and endpoint instance based angles? or is there another way to do so?
I think the best option is to create it in the Revit adaptive family environment! Using the same technique as I did with my bridge videos. I will write it up and create a video about it some time during fall/winter.
Awesome video, how to make it along a curved line? Many thanks
Hey Carlos! Thank you! One idea that might work: Create a steel sheet pile element with, let say length of 1m (this element wont be curved) then utilize dynamo to place and rotate the steel sheet pile along the curved line so you place out these element in an array with not space in between them.Hope that made any sense? I will write it up on my to-do list and it might come a video on it the next year.
😳 "Promo sm"
good tuto smart trick dude thanx
Thank you
Thanks very much
You are welcome :)
Nice tutorial. Just to add some info from my experience. There is kind of issue with bridges in Revit. Because bridge geometry is mostly in horizontal and vertical curves, we are using adaptive family as you show. But If you want to make section in random position it is impossible :D It is snapping profile geometry from the beginning of the path. Anyways this can be avoided by creating multiple solids and splitting them where you want section. Another issue is when you want to reinforce it. If you place rebar in vertical curve-you can not anotate it and then you need some manual work.
Hey Aleksandar! Thank you for your feedback ☺
Thanks EngineerBear, is it possible to add area parameter in this family. And how to calculate excavation area of multi shapes building.one more request how to calculate surface area for 100X100X10 Angle having 15 meter length for painting calculation.
Hey Ranveer Singh! Thank you. Yes, that is possible. I have two solutions. 1. Add a new instance parameter(important that the data type is set to area) that multiply the width and length. 2. Use dynamo to select all the area in the excavation pit (also the sloped area) and add the area together. I have created a video about how to do that(Revit dynamo - calculate area, length and volume for a complex object), follow the link in the description. You can also report back the area to the family, also did a video on this.
@@EngineerBear90 thanks very much for replying. I will check and implement in my project.
Great video, just keep doing what you do! Could you maybe show us how you created families from this video
Hi Luka! And thank you☺ This is actually not a family, but a collection of plates, used with the built-in steel plate tool, expect the top plate, where I used model-in place
Hi EB, Thank you for another helpful video. I have been trying to develop the same workflow to create a parametric bridge that will dynamically respond to changes made to an alignment. You happened to mention that we can later create a bridge or retaining wall form this workflow. can we expect a follow up video that shows how to do that?? Hoping so. 🤞
Hi EL, Thank you 😀 Next bridge video is coming on Monday, it will be voids in a bridge superstructure. In each bridge video I will expand and add techniques to solve the different problems. I am now editing a bridge video about box girder with varying thickness. The import Excel coordinates with Dynamo video will be the foundation for my 3 video advanced adaptive retaining wall tutorials. Expected to come in the fall sometimes. But, if you have a bridge or a problem you are sitting with right now I might be able to help you, just send me an E-mail with what you got so far ☺
@@EngineerBear90 . I am looking forward. This has me really excited. I do not have anything done so far with this workflow. I had been exploring other workflows to try and find the most efficient one. This workflow has only been an possibility until now. I previously had no idea where to start because of my unfamiliarity with Dynamo. But this video has really shed some light.
@@evanslion3548 Iam glad to hear that I can be of help.
Thanks
You are welcome😀
I don't understand the advantage of the switch parameter. Wouldn't it be much easier to create two types (1x circle and 1x square) within the family, which are simply controlled by the visibility parameter? When using them, I simply decide whether I want the circle or the square as the shape.
Hey there! Initially, that was my plan! However, I ran into some issues while trying to switch the void off and back on again. So, I opted for the solution I detailed in the video instead. Maybe your soution works now! Let me know if it does!
wow dude this is exactly what i was looking for.!! awsome can you also make an railway embankment?
Thank you so much😀 I can do that, just send me the data sheet or a drawing on it.
