Sparkey Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Anyone work with Revit or do BIM drafting stuff? Im trying to crash course myself through Revit but hitting a lot of walls. My biggest issue is files that i'm being given will have different base points or survey points, and may be missing gridlines and I'm not sure how to bring everything together to find the penetrations I'm trying to locate. Anyone have tips, suggestions, or able to lend a hand? Thanks! 05' LGT, ZFD Built 5MT, Stage 2 Cryotune 91/E85, 170,000mi running BRotella T6 and Ecoguard S4615 filters.

Sparkey Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Strange, what do you guys draft? People always act like I'm hand drafting when I say I need .dwg's. I actually intended and got schooled on mechanical drafting (Solidworks, inventor, ect). Wound up doing architectural masonry which is now drifting into rebar and much more. What a learning curve i've had! Turns out I was fighting models that had incorrect gridlines - It was never going to work even had I known how to align models in revit lol. 05' LGT, ZFD Built 5MT, Stage 2 Cryotune 91/E85, 170,000mi running BRotella T6 and Ecoguard S4615 filters.
