Chapter 3 • Creating Views114FIGURE 3.30 The final look of the buildingCreating Building SectionsAs your model starts to develop, you will begin to see areas that need further attention. (Certainly the area where the corridor hits the west building needs to be fixed.) This brings us to a good point.[r]

Now that we have opened up this area, the wall can now go up to Level 3. To constrain the top of this wall to Level 3, fol[r]

follow these steps: 1. Open the file you created in Chapter 1. If you did not complete that chapter, open the file called NER-01.rvt, which you can download from the book’s website at www.sybex.com/go/revit2011ner.

This will leave out any item that may only be partially within the box.Now that you have experience selecting items, you can execute[r]

It can be as simple as just drawing the wall in, but there are still a few little procedures you should be aware of: 1. Start the Wall command by s[r]

189You may not always want to trim an item. There will be just as many times where you need to elongate an item to reach a destination point. In the draft-ing world, this procedure is better known as extend. The process for using the Extend feature is similar to the Trim command. First, however, you[r]

When you pick the reference plane, Revit will mirror the entire group of windows.Chapter 4 • Working with the Revit Tools176Now that the two straight walls have windows, it is time to array some win-dows within the radial portion. The problem is, however, when you insert a win-dow alon[r]
