Nice! Thanks for showing your method of frame modeling. Your video shows areas where I can be more efficient in my modeling. I appreciate the pace and the level of assumption of construction knowledge that you expect your audience would understand. Definitely the best Revit video on residential frame modeling!
What's the benefit you see in modeling to this detail for residential projects? Not to be critical, just curious as what you see the benefits you find are. I have found that modeling the roof trusses, and major structural components to be beneficial, but am curious where you see the benefit in modeling the individual studs / joists. Cheers!
I only model this level of detail if it's included in our contract, or if there are dimensions I want specifically called out for window locations, sill heights or beam/column intersections, all of which were important in this design. Otherwise, modeling framing members for very basic exterior walls or roofs is not necessary.
Why not use the structural framing members instead of generic models? Structural would allow for tagging, and scheduling which would benefit the contractor
We use structural components when the project facilitates a more regimented approach to documenting framing. But when there's only a few beams it's sometimes quicker to simply use some models we've made.
Hi - We don't typically provide shop drawings for prefab, but you could simply use the elevations of your stud layouts to provide the appropriate information if necessary.
Studs, sills/bottom plates, and top plates are modeled as separate extrusions, but all within the same Generic Model for each wall. That allows you to move/displace the Generic Models as single units.
Most of the American homes use American Software - Revit, but American Software -Revit doesnt come with Native tools to create framing systems for walls, but makes Americans painfully model each Battens, Studs, ridges and the entire plethora of American God knows what not, but So American!, (Hawk sounds in the background)
It is not necessary to model each element separately. The video is a very bad example and shows what not to do. The easiest and fastest way is to use Curtain wall for framing systems.
There's many ways to achieve the same goal. This is only one method, and it provides the most control for intricate structurally oriented jobs such as this.
The curtainwall method is a good option for quick hastily modeled framing. For custom jobs with unique detailing, custom modeling is a preferred method for more accurate results.
It's an archiorgasm to watch this video. Also the level of the detail it's awsome!
@@stefanoorq Thanks for watching, hopefully it was useful to you!
An tutorial by an architect with black square-frame glasses, a black t-shirt and ambiance music? this gone be good!
Glad you think so!

Absolutely - Glad it was helpful, and good luck modeling!

Hello. How You would do shop/production drawings for prefab?
Hi - We don't typically provide shop drawings for prefab, but you could simply use the elevations of your stud layouts to provide the appropriate information if necessary.
How do you create that whole wall as a single unit?
Studs, sills/bottom plates, and top plates are modeled as separate extrusions, but all within the same Generic Model for each wall. That allows you to move/displace the Generic Models as single units.
share template, please
