    Balkan, these window shapes can be their own video. I think many people would love if you made that video (especially architecture students who make crazy buildings). Thanks for all you do.

  • @Mr_Dimov
    @Mr_Dimov Před 5 lety +123

    Regarding the walls and the way you removed the line, It is better to use "Join". Only if the two walls have a different material you can use the line tool but that is a rare case.

    • @Zipniltheoriginal
      @Zipniltheoriginal Před 5 lety +2

      Agreed. And if you want to override a line do as Christian says in the comments.

    • @jedsanford7879
      @jedsanford7879 Před 5 lety

      totally agree, but I never used the linework tool, and will def be using it on some sections now.

    • @watchinvideos22
      @watchinvideos22 Před 5 lety +2

      In Florida we often have walls stacked w different materials as it is very common here. From my personal experiences the join command seems to work best or I will use the built in line called "invisible". Is there a down fall to using the invisible line style as opposed to what is suggested in the video?

    • @AussieBIMGuru
      @AussieBIMGuru Před 5 lety

      @@watchinvideos22 Agree, and a big benefit is hosted opening cuts will be replicated in the joined walls as well

    • @musefan12345
      @musefan12345 Před 4 lety

      Agreed. Using the line work tool in this case is an amateur move. No idea why he’d do that.

  • @ignaciopedro8325
    @ignaciopedro8325 Před 5 lety +1

    Enjoy your fantastic tutorials. About the curtain wall one, if I am not mistaken the "join condition" parameter in the curtain wall type property takes care of this problem.

  • @mohsinasghar8074
    @mohsinasghar8074 Před 5 lety +20

    Dear Balkan, can you prepare a tutorial which includes architecture merged with structure,
    section contains slabs , beams , columns and architectural floors with some details as we typically showing in sections

  • @Detteermiig
    @Detteermiig Před 4 lety +13

    In tip 4 with curtain walls, you should only toggle the million join in very specific cases. It's much better to go into the curtain wall settings and specify if the millions should join vertically (default), horizontally or just at the border (my usual default).

    @stephlrideout Před 5 lety +2

    You can do materials like tile with additional walls if you want to see them in section, but the split face tool works really well if you just want a surface material.

    • @syedatiqabbas5036
      @syedatiqabbas5036 Před 5 lety

      yes why not apply the materials second wall like a materials tiles so on and shown in the sections also

  • @deezaar8797
    @deezaar8797 Před 5 lety +3

    for hide a line with lineworks your better choice is existent in "linestyle" section, because if you use a custom work background color, as gray for example instead default white, you will see that white line. so its not the best option to use white line in all cases)

  • @markr8604
    @markr8604 Před 5 lety +40

    Use for masking lines you don't want to see. Remember folks, it's view dependant, so if you apply the line in 3D like the video, if you view a 2d elevation, you will see the lines back. If you join the walls.... It will remove the lines from every aspect of the project BUT! They MUST be the SAME MATERIAL TO JOIN.
    👍🏻

    • @eugenijusjanuskevicius2292
      @eugenijusjanuskevicius2292 Před 3 lety +1

      The wall joint is not dependant on the material So the wall will join, but the different materials will not. Just test it with the multilayer walls.

    So all the times I've wanted to make a secondary wall type for vinyl siding, all I had to do was "join" it to the host wall... Even after 5+ years of learning Revit I'm still God-smacked at some of the simplest solutions! 😂

    it feels amazing Mr.Balkan that we really don't know you in real life. And when i say ''WE' i bet most of your students including my self have never met you yet you play a big role in our day to day education journey. I can't get enough words to show how grateful am, let me just say THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES. again i wanna be premium member but don't know how am very keen to know the procedure. meanwhile when am drawing something let us say a wall and go to the 3D i can't see the leveling lines unless i click one of the 4 elevations (South west, North, and East) Abdirahman from East-Africa.

    • @balkanarchitect
      @balkanarchitect  Před 5 lety +1

      For level lines in 3D you need to have the 2019 version of revit.

    All very helpful. I often see you use the "create similar" command for new levels. I find it easier to select a level, hold "control", and drag up or down to create a new level.

    • @EmilyM-dz8us
      @EmilyM-dz8us Před 5 lety

      this method will not make a level with a view associated with it. if that is what you want, this copy method works. typically i need most levels to have a view.

    That Wall-as-wall-layer trick is awesome. One thing: I tried to make a thin strip of wood along one of my walls. When I joined it to the main wall, it didn't cut through the window at first. I had to drag the lower end of the new material strip down below the window, THEN it cut out the window void, and then I could put it back to where I wanted.

      For the last tip (curtain panel attached top base) Attatch the top to a sloped glazing with nothing in it. You don't have to hide anything because it is not visible in any view (And also add IfcExportAs: DontExport for the IfcExport, the sloped glazing is not exported to IFC)
