Thanks for the tips. In surveying all bearings are taken in a clockwise direction from true north, this is handy to know when drawing up boundaries. From 0 to 360 degrees.
@@RevitSmart I believe that is how they have presented the information. If you follow that convention I mentioned above it shall always close. One thing to note is that when drawing up this boundary in Autocad following the convention I mentioned above, you’ll find that there is a misclose. A Misclose is a result of errors in survey measurements. Not all measurements are perfect in reality. There is an acceptable misclose in a survey traverse, it comes down to Bowditch corrections.
... excellent explanation - been learning Revit intensively over the past few months and missed this critical aspect - so many things to set up correctly in order for a project to head in the right direction! ( pardon the pun ;)) ... thank you.
Hey there! So go to the Massing & Site ribbon and click the little dropdown arrow under 'model site', this should open the Site Settings dialogue box. Under property data, change the Angle Display from Degrees from N/S to just Degrees. Hopefully this works for you but any dramas let me know :)
exactly my point I noticed however, that his own property menu does not have N/S and E/W columns and I guess that's why he can input bearings larger than 90degrees 0' 0'' example 277 58' 10''
To fix this though, follow the steps below: Click on: 1. Massing & Site tab 2. The Arrow pointing diagonally downwards to the right side of Model Site 3. Site Settings Menu comes up 4. Then Click on Angle Display (Bottom Left) 5. Change the Angle Display to Degrees (as against "Degree from N/S") 6. OK 7.You can now input any bearing (you'd notice your Property Lines Menu now looks like the one Revit Smart has) 8. I hope you see this when you need it.
Hey mate thanks for the reminder, I forgot to update the description of this video when I made part 2. You can find it here: czcams.com/video/djZfG1je5c0/video.html&ab_channel=RevitSmart

Thanks for that! I'm not sure if it explains why two parallel boundaries could both have the same bearing though?

Gaad damn! i just came from a 30minute long video and got nothing from it. This video was clear and concise. Brief but comprehensive. Thank you!!!
Awesome feedback! Thanks so much 😁

Glad it helped mate! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this! So much easier than that other “ degenerate” method. 👍
Glad it helped 😁
Ayy my new revit channel
Thank you, It’s so helpful!❤
Glad it was helpful!
My table for inputting the data has North and East columns how do I eliminate that

"If you're a degenerate..." :)
Haha you'll have to excuse the Australian humour 😅
how do you get the bearing to be more than 90 degrees ?
I'm not sure what you mean sorry - can you let me know when in the video i'm doing what you're trying to do and it's not working for you?

Alternate Title "Degenerate to artisan under 9 minutes"
Working miracles over here haha!
