Very informative video. But VRAM isn't the same as RAM. Overall, a great video!
Thanks! Glad to help :)
Very helpful. Thankyou.
Hi, I am planning to use Revit for ease blueprint drawing (especially for interior design) I do the modelling, texturing, and rendering in 3ds Max - Vray. Can I export them to Revit, including the texturing? Because I want to highlight what material to use in Revit and it makes a good presentation. And is Revit suitable for interior designs? Your response will be appreciated
Thanks for your question. I'll start at the end, to say that Revit can be great for interior design, but the software itself doesn't have many tools that are specific to the field. Basically, Revit was creating thinking about the needs of engineers and architects first, and interior designers can successfully adapt the tools to make them work. There are more and more extensions that cather specifically to our needs which is great! Now about import/export between Revit and 3dsMax, it can be done relatively easily, as both software belong to Autodesk, but if I'm entirely honest, I would recommend flipping your workflow. Basically, you can import a 3dsMax file into Revit but then the model itself would not be parametric, which would make it hard to work with within Revit. Instead you could create a parametric model in Revit, which would be great for construction documentation, and then export it into 3dsMax to produce high quality renderings. Also, you can actually use high queality rendering engines directly with Revit, such as V-ray, Enscape or Twinmotion, which would mean you don't need 3dsMax at all. Hope this helps!
@@irenedigitaldesign I see. Like it or not, I have to flip my workflow for ease integration. Thank you so much for the response As for rendering quality, I still think 3ds Max makes as one of the best high-visualization quality (V-Ray or Corona) compared to Revit, due to extensive settings which are not quite available in Revit
@@zonchan9000 3dsMax definitely makes some really high quality renderings!
Very helpful! Thanks.

What do you mean with generation?
sketch up makes drawing in 3D easy
Agree!

WE NEED MORE REVIT CONTENT PLEASE
haha thanks for that comment. I'm glad to see there's interest in those videos (I wasn't sure if there would really be an audience for them). That being said, this series on Sketchup is something I've had in my To-Do list for years, so I'll finish it and then go back to Revit :)
I am good at AutoCAD What else I must learn to improve my skills?
It depends of what kind of work you do but learning any 3D modeling software would be vital for early stages of design (May I suggest Sketchup), and after that, any BIM software would be a great addition (Revit and ArchiCAD are the 2 biggest ones in industry). BIM is the future of construction documentation, so learning it now will put you ahead of the curve.
You really explain in an amazing way.. Keep it up Irene. Using images for wallpaper or backgrounds too really does wonders
Glad you think so!
But does it have a magic wand?😭
No, but some Revit tools, such as the schedules, feel like ✨magic ✨
Cool lady
Thanks!
Hey, I have a question. Watching your video really makes me want to switch to Revit, but I'm finding it difficult to move away from SketchUp. In SketchUp, we have a very comprehensive warehouse. I don't need to create small things anymore; I can just grab them from the warehouse and start modeling easily. How about Revit? Is modeling interior in Revit also easy? I'm concerned that I might not like my designs in Revit. Afraid the results might be different, especially aesthetically..
Hi! I'll be honest, out of all the professionals that Revit is supposed to serve, I feel interior designers were the most "an after thought". You don't have entire defined categories for interior elements the same way you do with architectural or engineering elements, and the availability of pre-modeled, ready to go geometry is very limited compared with the expansive set of options the Sketchup Warehouse provides. That being said, I've seen great progress been made, with places like blocksrvt.com or revitdynamo.com offering a great selection specifically for interiors. In the end, it really boils down to the needs of your particular projects. If you work with projects that require a lot of very specific technical documentation, Revit can speed up the process. Also, keep in mind that with rendering engines such as Enscape or Twinmotion, you can create really beautiful renderings in Revit rather easily.
@@irenedigitaldesign Thank you, I understand now😊
Thank you so much. Professionally delivered.
thanks . this video so funny
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the really helpful targeted video! Do you have any thoughts or suggestions about external hardrives if you are using a laptop? Would you suggest off loading AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit, Photoshop etc... to an external hardrive to maximize the efficiancy of the laptop? Or have you seen that off loading these apps has actually caused more lagging and proved to be less helpful? I appreciate any feedback you have! Thanks for all the wonderful content!
Thanks! I love external hardrives, but unfortunately there's a limit to how much you can use them. To store files they're the best option (easy to move information between machines and, if you computer gets fried, the hardrive is usually safe), but to install software you need to take a few things into consideration. First, it should be SSD, as this type will allow you to run software without lag. Secondly, some software will not allow you to install them anywhere but on the C drive, and for others (I'm looking at you, Autodesk), they install a bunch of different components in various folders accross your computer, so even if they let you install on an external hardrive, it will only be part of the information. Hope this helps!
This is extremely helpful! I appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge!
nice overview, I usually link a file (CAD or PDF) into a drafting view that allows better scale management
Thanks for sharing! What difference does it make using the drafting view? Would love to try it out.
@@irenedigitaldesign It's useful if you have reference drawings that you don't want to redraw. You can place the drawing in a drafting view and use the same scale (you can also change the scale). It's more applicable for construction documentation (not so much for presentation drawings). Yeah, give it a shot if sometime.....
Ohhhh I see! Great idea, I'll definitely give it a try.
Are you a gamer?
Well, yes I am!
Very well targeted at the selection process. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Irene, great video! I'm glad I found you. I've taken what you said and applied it to a desktop. I use autocad, so 2D & 3D and I'm interested in Tekla. Would this computer be able to handle this? I'm looking for something I can use for years and upgrade as needed. Hope you don't mind giving out a little advice :) I found this on newegg - MSI Gaming Desktop Codex R2 B14NUD7-096US Intel Core i7 14th Gen 14700F (2.10GHz) 32GB DDR5 2 TB PCIe SSD GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Windows 11 Home 64-bit
Hi @arterrakiddies. That looks like a great machine! Keep in mind the best part of a desktop is how easy they are to upgrade so, if a few years down the road there's something you want to change, it will be very easy to do so.
thanks, I'm a Revit fan since 2007🤭. 100% recommended. coordination w/ other Autodesk products it's great. 😎✌
Couldn't agree more!
It works the same as creating multi layer materials in 3Ds Max😀
Hi Irene, I was wondering if you are able to scale this light bigger, how you would do that! I love this light sm and wanna use it in one of my school projects.
Hum... the issue with scaling in Revit is that you can't simply select the whole thing and use the scale tool like you would do with some other software. That being said, there's a couple options you could consider: 1. Scale each form within the family to the new desired size. Bonus points if you make the sizing parametric and link all forms using formulas, so when you change an overall dimensions, all part are resized. 2. You could take the family, export it as an FBX or DWG and then reinsert it into a Revit family as an import. This will make it easier to resize the whole thing, but would mean you can no longer modify the individual forms. You'd be stuck with the limitations of imported geometry. Hope one of these options helps you!
Why are you saying threads instead of treads?
Very Nice! Awesome!
I think I seen you on campus at George Brown College. Do you teach the interior design program?
Correcto!
thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Sanity saver tip for maths. Re window height. Open window type property and in height type the maths as a sum ie =2100-900 revit will do the math and give a window1200h.

Great video, thank you!
Madam, make a video in 3 parts in which there is step by step drawing making in Revit
Sure, what do you want to see modeled?
@@irenedigitaldesign Actually, I started learning Revit from You tube, but can't benefitted, then I spent and wasted money, now I started grasping some fundamentals. What I experienced for teaching and learning Revit is that, step by step, from beginning, make a video of drawing/modelling a house of G+2 or G+3 in Revit of 2 to 3 hours and divide it into 40 minutes parts. In this way, person can learn on going commands. Here, you imported a PDF File, now first question is that, from where a person got that PDF file to practice? either you provide a link of that file. So, modelling a house in Revit in 3 hours video (divided parts), then do structural work in that video, then do MEP work in that video, In this way, a person will able to learn Architecture, Structural and MEP, all the domains of Revit and that would be a complete project. Thank you.
Thanks! A whole series from basics to more advanced stuff is in my to-do, but please keep in mind my expertise is in interiors, so although I can do structural and MEP, I can only do it at a surface level. Usually, the different consultants would model the part of the project that covers their expertise. Hope you'll still find something helpful in my videos.
