The Bottom Line

Using Revit’s essential form making tools (Extrusion, Sweep, Revolve and Blend) These four tools are at the root of practically all form modeling.
Figure 6.59 These models are all made using Revit’s native form making tools.
Master it Having learned the basics of Revit’s form making tools, imagine how would you build this faucet designed by Philippe Starck.

Master it: In some cases, a form is made of multiple sketch lines to generate its form. What form making tools in Revit use more than one set of 2D sketches to generate the form.
The Underlying Concept of Sketch Based Design Nearly every element you make in Revit has an underlying 2D sketch. Know how to edit and construct these sketches will be critical to your success.
Master it: Revit uses a 2D sketch based approach to modeling. What modeling elements in Revit use this 2D sketch principle to generate their form.
How Work Planes, Datums, and Reference Planes are used in modeling When you create elements in Revit, they are tied parametrically to working planes
Master it: In order to sketch a form, the form must reside on a Work Plane. How do you define and visualize the Work Plane in Revit.
Combining solids and voids to create complex and intriguing forms Being creative with how you generate form means you have to think both in terms of both positive and negative forms making tools.
Master it: To make more complex forms, the use of both solids and voids can be used. Think of a case where the using voids as a subtractive element makes sense.
