The Bottom Line

Revit provides extensive tools for modeling basic elements such as walls, roofs, and railings, allow-ing for tremendous flexibility.

Take advantage of advanced wall features Many design situations require more than just the basic wall features; learn to use the more advanced Revit tools.

Master It A design calls for a horizontal soldier course in a brick wall every 12´ on the façade. Using Revit, how would you build this into a wall element.

Work with advanced roofs and slab editing Roofs are another seemingly simple element that present architectural challenges, and Revit has tools for them.

Master It You are working on a flat roof retail project, but of course the roof is not really flat and will need to drain. Using Revit roof tools, how would you go about modeling this.

Work with railings Railings are another bread-and-butter architectural element whose design can be streamlined with Revit

Master It You’ve found some nice-looking railing panels and balusters while scouring the Web for interesting rail designs. How do you go about building the railing in Revit.
