Is anyone out there successfully using Revit for high end traditional/classical architecture?  How close to the level of deatil in the attached image can you realistically approach using Revit?

I have done a 26,000 sq. ft. neo classical mansion in revit architecture 2008. As far as a construction model it looks quite nice. As far as graphically representing the intended finished project I used 3ds Max to complete it. I believe there is a balance to detail when it comes to your BIM model. If it doesnt NEED to be high detail dont do it.

Revit=needs 

3ds Max=wants

I see no image posted, repost and I will give you an idea percentage wise how close you can emulate design.

Hi Alabaster, thanks for the reply, don't know why the image didn't upload, try it again.  Did you use Revit for the full documentation?

Yes we fully documented this project in revit. I am a long time Autocad/ADT user and i have been on revit for a few years now. For me to coordinate this project to the level in which it has been done would have been next to impossible for me without Revit.

From your image I do not believe that level of detail is unachievable. I do see a couple areas that may need some clever modeling, but nothing like decorative wrought iron or some of the high end products i have run across that require more time than may be worth.

The image was from an autocad 2d drawing.  I modeled it in Viz for presentation.

What about all the limestone coursing, quoining, how do you go about doing that?

I would use the split face command. hopefully you are on subscription and will be getting the new 2009 with mental ray if you are a Viz user. I would also recommend an upgrade to 3ds Max, same interface as Viz basically. The new 09's work great together.

hi mike8500,

i think you will be able to achieve any look you want from your Revit model. It's all going to be a matter of developing your modeling techniques, families, etc. over serveral projects. If you are new to Revit this will take time. Those residential firms who do high homes and have been on Revit for serveral years (5 or more) probably do very little touch-up on their model elevations.

 

Once you get as much Revit under your belt as Autocad, i'm sure you will be able to get the results you want. Atleast that's what i am hoping for me. i don't know if you have any of your original autocad work around, but if you do compare it to what you do now. 

 i have accepted the fact that for me it's now going to happen overnight. i have heard that this type of spontaneous  ranting is part of the process. so i guess i am at the phase.

Thanks for listening
