You explained it plain and simple, this video gave me a relief when I got stuck on my project not knowing how to create thickening in the middle of slab. Thanks Mike
you probably dont care but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Yehuda Braxton i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks mr Taylor, this video was very helpful to me, no matter the video was a bit lengthy but each step you showed were important and helpful. Thanks again
This video really helped me out a lot, I also learnt things that I have always wanted to know . Thumbs up man, keep doing what you do. Saw the length of the vide and I thought to myself I hope this guy doesn't waste my time and I'm more than happy that I watched the entire video cause I learnt more than I thought I would learn. Cheers man.
Hello, I found your tutorial is very helpful. However, not sure which step I missed out for the thickening that when I tested changing those parameters, the thickened slab did not change as wished. Could you please kindly advise that what issues were? Thank you very much.
Creating a new office template is what every company needs to do when they start using Revit. That video would the a looooooong video. My suggestions: 1) Use Revit on your first project. Copy the project file. Open the copy and go to 3D and delete the model. Save this now as your Office Template. Any adjustments you made to items (model elements and annotation elements, and all settings) will now be in your template. This is a good way to start. -OR- 2) You could always hire me to make you a template. =) Working to help companies be productive in Revit is my job! :D (See links in any video description.)
This is something very interesting I've been dealing with, but at the same time I have an issue and I don't know why it happens sometimes on some projects and sometimes not, the issue is that when I need to show not the top of the thickened slab as hidden, the engineer wants to show the bottom part as hidden.... that makes me crazy, sometimes I can use the line work and sometimes not.... How can we deal with this?
Mike, How would you fix Stair?.... the Stair has 2 disconnected landing at the middle....... A U-Stiar where the landing was devided in to 2 to add riser.... Now its disconnected. how would you fix it?
Will do. Sloping a slab is done a couple of different ways. There is a slope arrow available while editing the outline sketch, and there are also tools for warping/sloping the slab after it’s in place.
Thank you for sharing wonderful videos!! Can you make a fake window?? I want to decorate the exterior with windows but I don't need the sun from outside.
Saki: Two ways to do what you suggest. 1. Use Filled regions and Detail lines on the Elevations. You can make a fake window and make it into a group and copy it. 2. You can use real 3D windows, but set the glass to not be transparent (opaque). That way the light won't get in. Those are my two suggestions. =)
Question: structural engineers usually specify the thickness of the thickened footing as the dimension from the top of the slab to the bottom of the footing (not from the bottom of the slab to the bottom of the footing as you do in your video). How can I set up a parameter with a mathematical equation, so that the thickness of the footing extrusion shape is calculated depending on inputs for the slab thickness and the total thickness from top of slab to bottom of footing?
Hi, how to add the width and thickness parameters in the slab edge family in Revit 2023 ? Every time I need to create a new family as per the slab edge dimensions as there is no option to change the width and thickness.
Hi Mike, one silly question, how can I turn the thickening family to 'concrete' material. I can't make it join the with the slab as they are different material. Thanks
When the slab edges are created at the same time.. they union automatically. If they are made separately, you can select them and pull the endpoints (blue dot) together until they touch. You can also try using the ALIGN tool. One of those usually works for me. Also, you could try ‘join geometry’ if they are overlapping.
Thanks, but I need to show the items in Revit 'solid'. I found that if I reduce the screen resolution... most of the buffering stops. Thanks for the tip!
I think because the new family is a generic family it doesn’t accept rebar. I guess you could install rebar in the slab and then move it down into place.
@@miketaylor8211 thanks i got a solution 2 to 3 hours later after i comment. i have to tick a box where it says "host rebar" but thanks i got new lesson from your side
@@farhank90 it's on the property on the right of the screen in the video. There's a HOST REBAR click box which you need to check ✅️ . That will allow you to place rebar in the thickened slab
you tackle the things that most people overlook when doing plans in revit and modeling, Thank you and keep it up! we appreciate you. Subscribed!

My kid loves watching your videos!! he laughs all the way. the funny thing is he doesn't even know English. you rock!
4 Words YOU ARE A STAR!! Thank you so very much sir, my life will never be the same again.

@Bjorn Martin You are welcome :D
thanks alot man, keep posting videos

Great video
Sir i love your energy oh my fkin god. Never been this attentive to a Revit minilecture
I've watched a few of your videos but this one had me subscribe....now show us Sloped Slabs....😲
So easy to follow, thanks so much.
thanks for this video to clear my doubts about thinking slab.
Love your work Mike, very entertaining - you made my day Thanks
Excellent, right to the point. I just created my own thickened slab. Thanks!
I am drafty & I would of loved to work good vibes. Thank you for the helpful video. Forrealzees 💥🇦🇺
Fantastic ! Thank you
Thanks a Bunch, Been looking for ages on how to get the slab and turn down to join! really frustrated me and my boss!
In fact I want your CD Mike, when is it coming out? Good tutorial , I've learnt a lot. Thanks.
Thanks Mike , appreciate your efforts> I really ware lost before this video.

I like the thickened slab family, but I can't get mine to turn cleanly at 90 degrees? The extrusion is not joined. How can I do that?
Your ma man
hi can you make a video on how to put slope on a slab when you get a chance? (Like slope for drainage in the middle of a room)
Will do. Sloping a slab is done a couple of different ways. There is a slope arrow available while editing the outline sketch, and there are also tools for warping/sloping the slab after it’s in place.
The information is great. The over the top presentation is annoying
Very annoying, I guess you have the knowledge, but the use of your voice is overdone.

Great suggestion.. Let me see if I can get a Revit Tip up about that! It will most likely be a TYPE parameter, but that is OK with me.
I kind of love you :D
Hi Mike, one silly question, how can I turn the thickening family to 'concrete' material. I can't make it join the with the slab as they are different material. Thanks
nice video.. how do you get a mitered corner when your thickened slab turns corners?
Do you know how to unjoin slab edges? Im stuck really bad thanks
When the slab edges are created at the same time.. they union automatically. If they are made separately, you can select them and pull the endpoints (blue dot) together until they touch. You can also try using the ALIGN tool. One of those usually works for me.

Another tip, work in wireframe and you won't buffer
Thanks, but I need to show the items in Revit 'solid'. I found that if I reduce the screen resolution... most of the buffering stops. Thanks for the tip!
can install rebars with this family????i tried but cannot from my end
