Projects begin with broad, gestural strokes that are eventually refined with more detail. The ability to quickly generate conceptual 3D massing forms aids in the development of a project. With Revit, you can make parametric abstract mass forms and use those forms downstream in your process as the design progresses.

Understanding massing workflows supported by Revit Using generic forms,
you can create early conceptual models and then use the mass to create the walls, floors, and roofs.
Master It You need to explore a design idea early on, in 3D, using abstract forms.
How would you do this with Revit

Creating massing elements in the project environment and Family Editor In the project environment,
you can make massing forms at any time. For generic forms that might appear in multiple projects, consider using the Family Editor and create Mass Families.
Master It You’ve imported a 2D site plan, and now you need to start building up a massing
study model in the project. How would you approach this with Revit.

Understanding how massing can be used downstream as the design progresses
Making a mass is one thing, but leveraging that mass for quantity take-offs can further aid and inform the design process.
Master It Once you’ve settled on a basic massing study, what information can you derive from it.
How can this be represented.
