INTRODUCTION
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
We have a guy who has a little money and wants to start a specific facility, let it be a mall, for example. This
man goes to a consulting office and says, “I want to build a mall with the same specifications.”
When the man goes to this office, he will start with a building engineer who will take the idea and implement
it. After that, the civil engineer will take over and make the foundations for the place, and after that, the structure
engineer will do the structure for it. The place is like concrete and other things, and then the work will be done by
the BIM engineers who will make the air conditioning, electrical, and fire extinguishing systems - etc. Thus, all
the design stages will have been completed, and the engineers who will work on the site and the contractors will
take the floor to implement it on the ground.
The advantage here is that every one of the people whom we said about this will do design. This design will
be something familiar to those who come after it. This means that the paintings of building engineers will be clear to
the civil engineers who will receive it from them, and the paintings of civil and building engineers will be clear to
the construction engineers who will receive it from them, and so on. The reason here is that this program is not like
CAD, which deals with every element that is drawn as lines, but here it deals with every element as an element
that exists in reality. It is effective and has specifications and dimensions like what will be implemented in reality. It
is effective.
MEP MENU INTRODUCTION

Before we delve into the menus for the first Revit, we will go over the part related to the project
settings that I will make, and any other project that comes to me, in other words, will be general
settings that will apply to the project that I will work on in Revit.
REVIT MEP MENU >> OPTIONS >> GENERAL

In the list of general characteristics that are important for us to know, the most important of which is your name
in order to preserve the rights to the design that you would do if you were working on any central file. The second
thing is the warning that will remind you every time you want to save your file.
This will remind you to save
the project file every time
If you are working on a central file, you will be configured
with the team that each specific specialty will begin to be
saved after a certain time other than the other.
GRAPHICS
What is important to us from this list is that we control the colors that will be associated with the element that we will make a model,
and these colors are as follows:
The color that will appear on
the item when you choose it

The color that will appear on the item
when you stand on it without choosing
The color that will appear on the item when there is a warning that
something wrong has happened or will happen and you should not worry about it
FILE LOCATION:
Before we start this list, let's first get to know what are the formats that Revit files can come in.
Rvt project file format
Rfa family file format
Elsayed M. metwally
RTE is the configuration file format, and these are the files that you cannot start any project without, and we will learn
about them in detail in a moment.
RFT This is a specific tablet for a job, for example, such as electrical work. When you take the family owned
tablet for electricity, you will find in it the things that are specific to electricity, but not anything else.
(Keep in mind that this type of file is only found in high versions of Revit)
System templates:
This is the tablet that if you choose, you will find inside it all the needs related to electricity, mechanics, etc
We come to our topic, which is the locations of files
This is the place where your project
will be saved. It is best to create a folder
for the project, and when you first open
the program, go and make a link to this
place so that it will be saved there.
There is a very important part here that we must take
into consideration, which is if, for example, I go to a
place and this place is working on a certain template and
I have to work on it, then I will go and include it in
my program, so when I come to work on a new project and
they ask me, “What template do you want to start with?”
I will choose from the list the template of the
company. They want me to work on it, and I will do it from h
Elsayed M. metwally
FAMILIES
This is something similar to blocks in AutoCAD, and you must know the principle that you will not be able
to draw anything in Revit unless you have a family specific to this thing. Meaning, if you are an electrical
engineer, for example, and you need to do lighting work, in order to do this work, you must have a special
family for the things in which you will install bulbs and so on. .
These components have approximately 59% of the specifications and shape that exist in nature,
meaning that you put what is effective and you will use it with the same specifications that you put in
the design of the project with it.
Large companies create special families for the equipment they produce so that you can use them here in
Revit
TEMPLATES
The best thing is to start your project from a templet, because it will be very difficult if you go and start
without a template. The reason is that this template is essentially settings for your project page, which
will make it very easy for you to work.
together, (If you will work all the sections in one file, then you will open the template that includes all this talk

HOW TO START A PROJECT

We have two paths to follow:
-1 If I had a file from the architect drawn on Revit
-2 If the file was coming from the architect, it was a CAD file and I was required to submit my work to Revit
ARCH REVIT ROCKS

1-LINK REVIT
2-DIVIDE TO DISPLINE
We will take copies of the file for each section separately, such as the example of the first floor. It will contain a copy for electricity, a
copy for air conditioning, a copy for water operation, and so on.
3-VIEW CONTROL
Here I will control what will appear and what will not appear in my file
4- DRWE AND DESIGN
5-SCHEDUELS-SHEETS-COORDINATION
Part of accounts, inventory of quantities, and production of projects
HOW TO START THIS TYPES OF PROJECTS?
1-LINK REVIT
I will enter the architect's file that came to me on Revit, but wait, let's see the correct steps
that you will take so that the architectural file is entered correctly.
INSERT >> LINK REVIT
Elsayed M. metwally
You will then be asked to specify the path of the file that you are going to insert. We will go to specify the
path and this list will appear.
It is very important that before you click on the file and enter this
part of the project, you must say leave my file in its place
Origin to origin
With zero project means zero file
That's it. Your architectural file is opened in the program. Take one small step and you will be safe. This
step is to install the panel, so if God forbid you move anything against your will, there is nothing wrong with it.
Details or drawings are left in the file and this installation step I will do from
MODIFY >> PIN
Elsayed M. metwally
EXPLORING THE USER INTERFACE

We will start like any program by getting to know the basic components that you will see first when you
open your project page.
You must keep in mind that the ribbon consists of a group of panels, such as those
for electricity or mechanics - etc., and these panels consist of a group of tools, and these
are the commands that I will use to accomplish my work.
Elsayed M. metwally
INSERT TAP
Simply put, when you first hear that you are going to enter a specific thing in the program, you must find what you
want in this list.
The difference between cad import and cad link will be as follows:
The file is large and you can consider it to be a part of your painting. The import will be a size of its size, but keep in mind
that if any modifications are made to this file from the outside, it will not be heard in the version you are working on.
- The link will now be light in size and can be updated, meaning if we assume for now that you are
I opened a file that I was working on as a link and modified a few lines on it. Automatically, when you open Revit, you
will find it telling you that there has been a modification in the next place in the next file, and it will ask you to reload the
file so that this new modification will be placed on it.
COPY –MONITOR
Shortcut: mouse wheel + shift = pan around 3d element
To keep the topic simple, let us create a scenario for a specific project so that you can understand what these tools
will be used with:
-1 Now we have an architectural file for which we made a link
-2 When you first make a link, he saw that there was an architectural file, but he still did not understand what it was
This file is like the example of a person who does not know English and saw his English book and at all he understood that this was an
English book, but unfortunately he does not understand it and does not know how to read it.
-3 The reason that the program does not understand the file is that you made a link to it. I mean, it is exactly as if you took a
picture of this file, and why is this topic defective?
-4 The disadvantage is that you will not know how to use any levels based on the architectural factor, and therefore you
must create your own levels for each panel you will create, and we will know how now.
Elsayed M. metwally
9- When you run the levels, you can consider the program to have completely read
the file and understood it. 6- In short, the copy command is responsible for making levels specific to you, or
anything in general in the file you are making, link. You want a copy of it to work on, not only the levels requirement.
-7 And the monitor command is similar to the one that monitors on the board. When the architect makes a
change in the levels that I am still making a copy to, it will go and tell me that the next level that you took
a copy from and made a monitor on has been modified.
STEPS
1- From the Collaborate menu, we will choose the /copy command from the coordinate panel
monitor
2- We will click on this command, and two things will appear, from which I will choose link select
3- A menu will open from which I will choose the copy command
A small box next to the multiple 4 - To learn something together, you will find knowledge about it
and go choose your levels. 9 - To make sure that
you are not copying anything other than the levels, you can go to the filter tool.
Only the levels are specified
-6 When you make copies, you will find a small finish, click on it, and this means that you have

CORE CONCEPTS
REVIT ELEMENT HIERARCHY
Any element in Revit falls under the following:
1- First, the group, which means a group of elements that have the same characteristics and are
grouped together, like for example when I tell you doors, windows, or walls (each of these is
a group).
-2 What is called a family falls under the group, and here it will be allocated a little, meaning if
I said, for example, that I have a group called Doors, so you can appreciate that this group has a family called single
door, a second family, for example, called double door, and a third family, for example, called sliding door, and
so on. (The important thing is to understand that a family is not part of a group.) 3. We will
specify more and say that after that we have something called There are different types and differences in the same thing
Family elements, meaning I can have a family for a type of door, single doors, but the doors inside
each one are different in shape and material, and this is what we call the type.

The reason we decided to explain this topic is to understand my level of modification in the program!!
In order for you to understand what I mean easily, let us give more than one example of modification:
Edit the group ( CATEGORY) Click on it to display the editing
part for this item - 1 - Choose any item and go
Different families within the
same category
Elsayed M. metwally
Conclusion: When you make an amendment to the category called doors, for example, this
modification is automatic, it will take all the families that belong to the category of doors in
the project.
With the same idea, when you make a modification to the family, this modification is applied
to all the types that belong to this family in the project file.
EDIT FAMILY
Select the item to display the tab for modification - 1 Go
2- When you first run the tool in front of you, a completely new screen will appear, specifically for modifying the family
from which you selected an element.
As we agreed, this amendment will be applied to all types within the family
Elsayed M. metwally
Repeat last order: press enter
NAVIGATING VIEWS (ZOOM, PAN, AND ROTATE)
ZOOM
Whether this command or the rest of the commands with it, the best way to execute it is to use the
mouse. Let us know how to use the mouse in this speech!
-1 To know how to zoom, use the mouse wheel. 2 - If you have

a specific place on the board and you want to zoom in that place, all that is required of you is to
leave the mouse wheel next to that place and start using the wheel.
You can apply the fit to zoom command by pressing the mouse wheel twice in
succession
ZR region in Zoom If you want to zoom in on a specific area on the board
ZF fit to Zoom The same shortcut can be operated by pressing the

wheel twice
LIKE THIS Zoom out

ZS size sheet to Zoom Here you can see what your painting will look like
when you print it to the size of the drawing you chose
This type of zoom is very important because sometimes the size of the drawing
is not suitable for the plate, and you do not think about that until you wear it for printing.
PAN
In order to know how to move your shape without affecting its position, you will use it
again, but this time by clicking on it.
ROTATE / ORBIT
If you want to damage around the building, especially if you are using D3, you will do the following:
Press shift and use the wheel with it (press the wheel while pressing the button)
E: Wz
salt
- You can use the right click instead of the reel
- You will not be able to operate orbit except on VIEW D3 only
SELECTING OBJECTS
You can select any item by clicking on it. You can
deselect by clicking in an empty place. You can select more than one
item by using CTRL while you are choosing. You can use SHIFT to remove a selection
from the options you are making.
(shift is the opposite of ctrl)
It is a square, but its lines are solid, and you can specify that if you drag to the right, it will appear with you.
The element that will cover the entire square, only the
dash square, and here what will be determined is anything, but if you drag to the left, it will appear with you,
which will pass through this square or even touch it.
Elsayed M. metwally
One of the very important things when you choose is to use filters. Let’s see how:
Suppose, now, choose an entire side of the board, and the selection we made includes doors,
walls, equipment, etc., and I just want the doors to be specific. What should I do?
The solution is very simple, which is to choose the part that you want to choose and look up in the tools and you will find the
filter that you will activate and remove from it what you do not want.
Elsayed M. metwally
SELECTION TOGGLES
Another type of specification will make you very comfortable when you are working with a large project and you are working on it link
Example of other files from outside --- etc
Oh, you know, from

Can I reach this point?
The first option is an example. If you are not activated, you will never know how to do selection on anything you would like to
do with the link from outside.
Also keep in mind that this is done because there are shortcuts in the program below that you can
use at any time without opening this menu.

STARTING A PROJECT
CONFIGURING A NEW PROJECT
The first thing you will set is the information about the project, such as the name of the designer, the owner, the
name of the project and its type --- etc.
A: ForbiddenDez Q
You have amazing pain
The project data box will appear:
(part of the square)
Elsayed M. metwally
After the box appears and you write the data, you must have asked yourself where will these things appear?
Look, Boss, when you go to do anything in the program, you will find all this data on which the data
of your sheet is based. Let us see how:
Sheet shape
Elsayed M. metwally
The second thing we will modify in the project is the units with which the project will work:
Keep in mind that the units are based entirely on the template you are working with, whether metric
and imperial)
These units are not mandatory. You can now click on anything and modify it at your convenience
Elsayed M. metwally
You can also adjust the units of systems, such as electricity. You can adjust the units of
voltage, current, frequency, power, etc.
The last thing that remains with us today regarding the simple modifications to the project is to adjust the location
in which the project is located.
will appear in which you can choose the location When you first choose this tool, a box
where the project is located, using a map or a list provided by the program.
Elsayed M. metwally
Thus, it is considered that you have adjusted the basics and nothing more. Let us memorize this speech because there is
something important that we want to explain:

and see what happens.

- He will sit and make copies like this until the number you set above
- If this number is 3, for example, then he will go to copy 0003, and when you save for the fourth
time, he will remove copy 0001 and replace it with 0004.
ADDING LEVELS
1-You will not be able to do any level unless you are in one of two things:
Elevation -
Sections -
This means that you will not be able to place any distractions while you are on the plan floor or plan celling
Elsayed M. metwally

The first time you run this command, it will give you the dimension line of the level you want, and you will go
to draw it normally.
He will first ask you for a starting point, so you will go and stop in the area from which you will start. It is best that you
see the connection between him and the sisters he has before you work in this way.
After that, you go to the end to put the final point and wait until you see the connection like this.
Elsayed M. metwally
When you finish, click on the arrow above the modification button to take you out of the matter. There is
something important that you should take note of:
Every level you make will be automatically added to the plans you are making
Ok, suppose now that you want to add a level that appears in certain plans and does not appear in
everything as you see it, what will you do?
-1 When you add a new level, this tape will appear
Elsayed M. metwally
Click on it before you draw your level and this box will appear
- Okay, so I will go and give it a name, and a box will appear asking me if I want the new name.
This is heard in the project and the
Elsayed M. metwally
There is one last thing left here, which is to use line pick with offset
And: from Y YC
We made a certain level and I came at a time when I wanted to measure a certain distance relative to this level and
put another level, whether below it or above it. It is not a problem. The important place is how do I do this? 1-
The first thing we will enter is the required height
2- We will go to run the line pick tool from the same list of tools
-3 I will choose the line that I will draw for and you will find that I will give you the option of drawing on top of it or
Under it at your convenience
Elsayed M. metwally
When you first press, you will find that the level is set all the way like this
Very important:
When you see the head level in this color, what does it mean?
- When this plane is black, it means that it is not related to any plane you have in it
Board
I mean, you want to tell me that if I go and look at the browser project, I won't find
this level in it?
The answer: Come and see for yourself and make sure
Elsayed M. metwally
ADDING GRIDS
Networks are very important things, especially when you are drawing a residential building with many rooms
and details
revit ÿ yall f Yes,Work together

yes, from
Here we will be able to deal with the normal plans, not like the levels. We had to open a section or facade from the facades of
the building.
- When you run this command, a special section will appear in the modify section, as we are accustomed to
Whatever we choose
- We will choose the type we want to draw, let it be a straight line, and then we will go and adjust it
Our painting and keep our mind of something very important
(The grid line begins with a dot and ends with a circle in which the tag is written)
- It is best that when you make any line, you write the crown on time so that there are not too many of them and they
confuse you in the end. -
When you make the crown, example A, you will find that when you come to draw the second line, he calls it B by itself, but
when you make the crown, example No. 1, you will find him writing the second line for you. On it 2
Elsayed M. metwally
The grid is similar to the level in terms of connectivity and the signs that appear so you can
control it
TEMPORARY DIMENSIONS
Something like this is similar to a sketch in
nature. Now, if you draw and draw everything and want to move something from one place to another (we will
now apply this to the lines grid), there are
dimensions in it called temporary dimensions, and their shape will be like this.
Now there is more than one way to deal with these dimensions. Let me tell you about them:
1 - Double click on the point on this line witness and you will find it moving with you to
the answer of the witness or the middle of the witness as you like.
Elsayed M. metwally
Come on
H? And now
I'm tired of talking, Dehli
- Suppose now that you want to create an example of a line grid 900 mm away from the outer side of the
wall. How would you do this?
-1 You will go to the point we said about this and double click on it until you stay on the outer side of the
precaution. -2 Press the distance you
want and that will be fine.
The second way:
- You go to click on this point and drag it to the side next to the wall that you want, or even to the grid line that
you want. When highlight is applied, you leave the point and it descends on it for a long time, and after
that you can modify the dimension number as you want.
Elsayed M. metwally
So the whole idea is that you move the witness lines in one of two ways (the better is the second way)
and then you write the distance between the grid line and the line on which you are still shooting the point,
whether it is next to a wall or another line grid.
ADDING COLUMNS
All that is required of you is to be sure that the library exists. This is the first
and second thing. Choose the column you want and place it in the place you want in the wall, and Revit
will adjust the rest in this way.
E: Wzsalt
If you have a library outside and you want to get a specific column from it, all you will do is do the command
or architectural. for the type of family you will get, whether the column you have outside is structure
Then you say load
family is nothing more than

That's it
If you want to rotate a specific column or a group of columns together, all you have to do is
select them and press the ruler on your keyboard.

MODELING BASICS
ADDING WALLS
Look with me at the features of the area so we can explain something very important
Look, Sir, the option you see is telling you that the precaution is not tied to a specific level, meaning it is
thus surrounded by the blessing. If there is any change in the levels, it will remain on its status, and I do
not want that.
(Come now, let us connect it to a level and see what we will benefit from.)
Elsayed M. metwally
Now, if you move to the second level at any distance, you will find that any wall attached to it will
automatically move with i
(You can do this first when you choose the wall command, so that any wall you draw will have the same
end and beginning as its sisters.)

4- After you make selection finish, you will be asked for starting points, and you will then select the point
You will move your element from
it. 9- You will then walk in the direction in which you are going to move and press to place the end point, and thus
the element will be moved.

ADDING WINDOWS AND DOORS
Doors and windows are among the things they talk about in Revit, element hosted. I mean, when you
like to draw a door or window anywhere, you will find a world. Ok, what is
the solution? The solution is to put it on the host wall
(I mean, when you see this sign, you must know what the host of the thing you are going to draw is.)
E: Wz
salt
- When you come to family load the door or windows from the outside, you can use the button
CTRL to select something together
When you open the selection you made, you will find in front of you what is called the category type
This appears when you have an item brought from outside and there is such and such a type in it (let's have a look so
we know we're talking about it)
Elsayed M. metwally
Of course, it is not necessary that you take all of these sizes!! Ok, what will we do to choose only the
types that I want from everything that appears in front of me?
All you will do is select the item and drag + click until you find a black rectangle, which will tell
you who is with you and who is not with you.
(You can use CTRL to select such types of different places)
Look how they appeared on the program -->
Elsayed M. metwally
If the door's direction is not right, you can flip it using the bar space and in all
directions as you like, not just one direction.
ADDING FIXTURES AND OTHER COMPONENTS
Elsayed M. metwally
When you come to place any element, you will find dimensions appearing in this scene (they can appear in another way and
you change them by using the bar space).
USING CONSTRAINTS
Focus here very carefully because constraints are one of the most important things you will use in Revit
A EDT F
I see :
Now, if you are making a door next to a column, for example, and you want to connect the door to this column at a distance of 90
With the door as it is = 90 cm, so if the column moves, which distance would you prefer?
The Mi :1
We will connect a door to the column next to it, and we will create a fixed distance between them that will not change no matter what happens
1- Firstly, you can see the dimension temp. Is it between the door and the column or between the door and something
else in the same alignment as it?
If it is between it and something else, then you will go and drag the dot of the line witness and walk until you make highlight on the
line of the column and leave it along.
Elsayed M. metwally
Look now when we pulled the column
-2 After we set the dimension, we will go and click on the parameter that will switch me from temp
dimension for permanent dimension and you will find your dimension in this view
Elsayed M. metwally
-3 The last step is that we will go and create a lock on this dimension like this:
- Click on the dimension itself and activate
it - You will find the lock sign, click on it and lock it
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Mi :2
We want to make a window exactly half the wall, and if we come after that, we change the dimensions of this wall. The
window will adjust itself to the half
wall as well - 1 will go to the dimension aligned tool.
2- After we set this choice, we will choose the corner on the right and then the left.
(The order is not important) and then the middle of the net
Elsayed M. metwally
You will find the distance back with you in this form and details
Now, go pull and pull on the wall as you like and you will find a platform on the back of the window.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mi :3
I have a room with two windows, and I want these windows to be exactly opposite to each other, even if the walls of the
room are changed, they will remain the same.
some
Elsayed M. metwally
1- We will deal with the alignment issue

3- You will see a blue dotted line like you see in the picture. Go along and then
select the element you want to align.

We have a building next to a group of offices, and suddenly I found myself wanting all these offices to have
the same space (how do you do this in one fell swoop?)
-1 As long as we are talking about dimensions, we will turn on dimension align, but this time we will choose
The following:
2- You will go to specify the office walls that will equalize their width. 3- We will
activate the EQ tool, which appears in the form of a symbol above the dimensions, and you are finished.
Elsayed M. metwally
Question: In order to make an equality, do I have to force myself to see the EQ or can I change it as an
example of the real dimensions that exist?
You can go and choose the dimensions that you have created now and go to the part of
properties, of course, and choose the format in which the value above these lines will appear.

A very, very nice feature in Revit. Let's see how we will use it in this issue of restrictions
Look at this figure and imagine the scenario we will tell:
(Keep in mind that this feature does not exist in 2016, so we will explain it without pictures)
Elsayed M. metwally
Now we assume that the first door is 30 cm away from the wall next to it, and I want to apply the same distance to all the
other doors, and after that I will also have the ability to adjust all these distances with one stroke!!
I know that the words are not understood, so let us consider our example - 1. We will go and
define the first door and see if we want to apply any dimension to it. As we agreed, we will take the distance between the door
and the wall, let it be 30 cm.
2- Click on this dimension, select it, look up in the tools, and choose from the label pane
dimension You will find a small icon like this from which you can create a new label
A box tells you what you want the label to be called, so you go and name it, but let it be door -3 After that, he will appear with you
distance from wall -4 After
that, you will go to specify all the other dimensions of the remaining doors that we want to adjust. -9
- We will go to the same list of tools, lower the arrow and choose the label that we are still using, and you
will find that all the dimensions between the door and the wall have become 30 cm, and a small
pen will appear next to each door. This means that you used label
-6 The benefit of the pen is that you can click on it and a box will appear containing the name of the label and the value of the
dimension that you put, and once you change it, you will find that all the other values that took the same label have
been changed.

After you put the panel down and want to deal with it in Revit, you will use a very, very important thing
from the tools menu called modify.
TRIM / EXTENDS MULTIPLE ELEMENTS
You can draw a group of vertical walls, for example,
and connect them all at once to a
horizontal wall. 1- You will
run the command. 2- You will be asked to specify the wall

UNDERSTANDING INSERTS CAD

Now, if you have one of the detailed drawings and you want to add it to the drawing, you will definitely say to
yourself that you want to add the drawing in a place so that its sheet is separate and does not affect the
main sheets of the plans.
Revit has saved you this place. Let's see how:
1-We will go to do something independently away from the plans from here
You will receive a box for the name and form 2
3- We will adjust the insertion options in this view
Elsayed M. metwally

CREATING GROUPS
What do you think? Now we are learning how to put things together, so that when I make an amendment to one
thing, this amendment applies to all of them.
The Mi :1
We have a place, let it be an apartment, I will make a group of it, and I will make a copy of it, and we will see how powerful it is that
I create a group for this apartment, especially when I like to modify it.
-----------------
1 - We will go to specify the place from which we want to create a group (or the things from which you want to create
a group. The same idea will specify all and you will create a filter and nothing more)
2- We will activate the tool responsible for this speech
-3 A box will appear with two names:
- The first name I want to include is the name of the group that I will make, and this will be specific to modeling, meaning
the solid parts that are tangible. Keep in mind that when modeling is made in any copy, let it be an example of 10
copies, and you modify any one of these copies, the modification should appear in all. We will see the words.
This is now (
- The second name will be specific to things that are in the modeling order, such as dimensions and tags, which
is done by update in every copy you will make of the group. Meaning, if you end up in the first apartment with
door number 10, the first door in the second apartment will be number 11.
And so on
Elsayed M. metwally
Look what happened to me so far:
------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-4 Let's make a copy of this group to see the different

features of the groups, and we will do this in
two ways:
- You will go to the browser and come to the group's
new instance and work
Elsayed M. metwally
- Or drag this group and throw it into the work area completely normally, as if you were dragging and
inserting anything.
- If you notice, you will find that the instance we created from the group does not show any tags on it,
because it simply will not show them unless you say show them.
Select the instance and run the group detail attach () command
See the result and how it happens. The crowns are unlocked during each instance
Elsayed M. metwally
What remains now is that we add something to the group or the instance and see whether the effect will
be transmitted between the father and all
his children and the children. 1- Select the group or instance as you like. The topic will not
In front of us
be different. 2- We will look at the group edit tool and run it until we see a beige screen, which means
that I will make an edit in the group that I specified
3- You will see the following:
Keep in mind that what you delete from

Now see the effect during the instance
the group will not be deleted
from the board; it will still be there in
its place, but outside the group.
Elsayed M. metwally
The new part that we want to do now is how to change one of the group versions without
this modification appearing in any other version
- 1 - We will go to select the version in which we want to do this
talk - 2 - We will go to type edit it.
3- A box will appear with the name of the parent group from which this instance is created
I will make a copy of it and give it a name that I can recognize in this way
Elsayed M. metwally
Label it and add it to OK. You will find the box that was visible to you in which there are both the old and new
versions in this view.
Choose the new version that remains the type of the instance that we specified, so that when I make the modification and
the rest of the instance and take it as a type of another type, this modification will not appear in it.
What remains is that you do a group edit and modify as we did before, nothing more and nothing less
(Note that the modification does not appear in anything other than the thing you were working on only)
The browser will fall out of love and the groups two will appear in it, and you will then make copies of whatever
you want, because after doing this duplication, you now have a new parent from which you can create an instance
that will be modified every time their parent is modified.

MIRRORING GROUPS TO CREATE A LAYOUT
We have only one apartment in a building with each floor in it. Why do four identical apartments mean each other? When you are a designer,
do you think you will go and design the rest, and do we have easy solutions?
-1 As you know, we used to make the apartment as a group image

-2 - Now we will make the two apartments next to each other by using the command axis pick mirror
------------------------- Steps --------------------------------------- --------
1- We will go and identify the apartment, make it a group, and get rid of this whole story.
2- We will get busy.
He will ask me to choose the axis that will mirror it, so I will choose the common wall between the two apartments
Now I want to make two apartments in this area, so I will go and select these two apartments and run the
command mirror draw axis
Elsayed M. metwally
This will allow me to draw my axis on which the reflection will occur in the place that makes me comfortable, such as
That's it
- When you first do the command, it will tell you to go and draw the axis and nothing more than that, and it will also appear there.
Choosing with the matter is very, very important
- The dimension that interests me currently is the gap between the old and new version, which I will be able to modify once I
modify its dimension temp in this way.

SKETCH-BASED MODELING COMPONENTS
If you are working on a project with Team, make sure that everyone is using the same version, because
the new version of the program cannot open any file that was made in a copy before it, but you can
open files that were made in copies after it (provided that it performs an update for these files).
FLOORS CREATING
Walls, doors, and windows, how many easy things you can do in Revit, but what they say about
the ceiling and some other things in the program is that it is an object based sketch.
This means that the program needs more information in order to operate this ceiling.
Let us create a simple ceiling so that we know how its commands are dealt with in the program. 1. We
will run the command as follows:
Elsayed M. metwally
If you finished and want to return to this screen again to make an adjustment
- You will go to any place on the floor that you were working on and click on it to make an appointment with you
The command boundary edit appears
Elsayed M. metwally
CREATING FOOTPRINT ROOFS

In the same way, we will create a roof for the place we have drawn and see what options and commands
will be dealt with:
1- Run the command
2- A box will appear asking you: Do you want to put a ceiling on which level? In this sense, the ceiling will
be on the last floor at all, because the floor of the second floor is the ceiling of the first floor.
-3 The same modification menu will appear that appeared while we were making a floor
Elsayed M. metwally
-4 We also have very important choices:
(If you want the ceiling to be exactly one end with the wall, we will make 0 = overhang)
-9 You can adjust the angle of inclination to the side of the roof by selecting this side and going to
properties and choose the section for adjusting the tilt angle
(Flat roof, angle of inclination = 0)
Elsayed M. metwally

Y: A As
If you remove the world from the side, slope defines, the program will go away
He removes the joint he made between the ceiling and the wall and he leaves it
It's like there's a gap
WORKING WITH CEILINGS
One of the very important things that you will deal with is the fallen ceiling - 1 - Before
anything else, you must make sure that you are standing on a panel of the ceiling panel, because if you are standing on a panel
The floor will display this message
Elsayed M. metwally
2- You will start doing the command and after activating it you will find options through which you can draw the ceiling.
The fallen one
Now we will see the first automatic method and see how the result will work (knowing that every line of the grid you can
copy, drag, or do whatever you want in it, and when it is modified, the rest of the lines that are with it in the same celling will be
affected)
Elsayed M. metwally
The second option is in which you will draw the spaces with your own hands using a set of commands
exactly like what you dealt with in the real floors and ceiling.
(Most of the time you will use walls pick, but in certain areas where you want to draw a space and there will be no
walls, you will use lines pick)
When you are drawing the ceiling, you can determine how high it is.
This means that it is not necessary for all the ceilings you have to
have the same height.
You can do this by selecting the ceiling, going to its properties, and
changing the height
All: Not
When I made the lighting on the grid and adjusted its location, and then came to make it center in the middle of
the room, or adjust the distances between them and make them equal, then this problem appeared.
(The scout did not take the dimensions of the slab, and this is very wrong.)
Elsayed M. metwally
You have to do a shift for the lines in the grid, and we will see now that when you do a migration, exactly what
will happen to me - 1 - You
will go to select the font that caused you the problem
- 2 - You will click on the move command and choose that you will move it a distance, not more than that.
E: Wzsalt
It is best to start with a scout and let it take the dimensions of the slab
After that, you can make copies of a point at one end to place it on the rest of
the tiles. After that, it will be very easy to make this group of lights in the center of the room
by playing with the lines of the grid.
CREATING EXTRUSION ROOFS
Look at this picture to understand exactly what I mean
Elsayed M. metwally
The topic is very easy and simple because the program allows you to draw the roof you want, with the
dimensions you want, in the place you like and in the shape you like, and it does not have to be outside.
You can draw the roof of the whole house with the
tool. These are the steps:
-1 The first thing is to open the interface from which you will be able to draw well. For example, I want to create a system
Rotating over the door of the house, the mind tells me to open the elevation of the facade and draw 2 - Open
the tool
A square after that so you can capture the thing you are going to draw on - 3 will appear
Hadeela Okay, and I will go and select the wall at the front of the house based on what is my plane, and I will click on
it and the following will appear.
Elsayed M. metwally
I will tell him that everything is fine and I will tell him that it is okay
4- The part that was visible on the ceiling and floor, which they call Revit Sketch Mode,
will appear for me.
(Use the drawing item from the draw menu and get the shape you want)
Note: Don’t forget to choose the thickness of the roof you want to draw from the properties section
-9 Go, choose the shape and draw
take care :
When you come to draw, you will find an automatic Revit. Leave the shape along the length of the building, because it is assumed that
you are working on the whole house, so you will find two arrows at the beginning of the roof and at the end, their name is grips.
You will use them to reduce the ceiling in the way you like
Elsayed M. metwally
ATTACHING WALLS TO ROOFS

One of the very important things that you need to know before we conclude this part:
How do you make a connection between a wall and the roof on it, so that if you change anything in the characteristics of
the wall or the other roof, it responds to this change?
With the floors as well, not just the ceiling ( ) You can do this
-1 You will go to determine the precaution or a group together, and in order to determine a group together easily,
follow what I will tell you:
Select a wall, and then press the tap key. Something similar to this will appear - the ghost

First, let us agree that all the walls that you will draw in a particular project are in-built.
family, which can also be
modified. If you laugh at the program and go to modify a basic wall, you will find it going to modify
all the other walls in the same way without what you say. That is why today we will learn how to
create a special type of wall without affecting the rest.
1-The first step is to determine the precaution and make an edit
type for her
After that, you will make a copy of your wallet so that you can
put your touch on it
Elsayed M. metwally
- You will name it as you like (put a name that you know is unique)
- After that, you will go to structure edit, and a screen will open with you that contains everything related to
it, and the first thing you do when you open this screen is to make sure that the preview is working.
The result
Adjust the caution as you like, meaning put the layers you want on it, with the material you want, and also with the
thickness you like, and make it OK, and nothing more than that.
Elsayed M. metwally
UNDERSTANDING STACKED WALLS

We talked about the first type, which is the wall basic, and as we saw, it
is a layered construction, but today we will talk about another type called wall
stacked, which originally consists of more or two basic walls.
Look at this, we know how to do it:
-1 From the Families section of the browser
Elsayed M. metwally
-2 After I make my own copy, I will go and modify it
-3 I will open the structure edit part that will appear after that
Elsayed M. metwally
The last step with us is to apply this word

to the walls that you want by selecting the
walls and going to properties and changing
the family of the wall to the type that we
are still using.
ADDING CURTAIN WALLS
Elsayed M. metwally
Let us first know what components this type of wall contains
The matter is very simple. Let me tell you the steps:
1- From the Architect menu, go to the command for

walls. 2-
Go to Properties and choose from

families The part about walls and curtain
Especially the type we will work with today, which is

the store front
-3 very important things that you must understand:
When you select this type of wall, 4 arrows will appear on its side
so you can adjust the wall size and length.
You should take care of what I am going to say
Suppose now that we want to increase the width (the same idea is removed from the display). Drag
the arrow in the direction in which you will increase. You will find that if you drag a few small
panels, their sizes will increase, but their number will remain constant until a certain point. You
will find that there is a new panel added with you. The same thing applies if You want to increase their height
- The question now is: What is the ruling on this issue and what point does the program determine?
Basis ?
Elsayed M. metwally
Open the type edit for this precaution to understand what is happening
4- Now you are drawing an example of a specific building, and after a while I found that you want
to modify a wall in it and make it a glass wall. How will I do this:
- First, make sure that embed automatically is activated as you can see - You will go to run
the wall command.

- Choose from the family wall curtain
Go to the wall that you are going to adjust
and press (no more than that), and you
will draw a line on it along the length of the curtain.
(wall)
After that, you can click on this parameter
and do profile edit so that it will open the
mode sketch that we talked about before,
through which I know how to set this
parameter in the way I like, like the
example I will give.
Elsayed M. metwally
The example you will see is all I did in it:
- I turned on the profile edit

- I opened the sketch mode
- I chose the line drawing tool and drew a

line in the area I wanted to
allocate - I then used trim so that there would
be no overlap between the lines
ADDING CURTAIN GRIDS, MULLIONS AND PANELS

We now want to design something special for us with the dimensions and shape we want.
Note: The luxurious entrances that have many flowers are designed in this style, as
we will not see now.

UNDERSTANDING VIEW RANGE

Look, Boss, in short, you are here cutting across the width and looking from top to bottom or from bottom to top,
or you can do a region plane as we will see now. The direction from
which you are looking depends on whether you are standing on the plane floor or the celling plane.

It will be cut across the width and will look from bottom to top, and the extent you will see is the plane cut, and anything
after it will not appear as we see now.
Knowing that the ceiling is -1, we will go and make a small apartment and celling it, and there are some floodlights
located at a distance of 2600 mm. This means that you
will not be able to see the floodlights when you are looking
from below unless the plane cut = 601 mm.

removes the ceiling even if it is falling and releases you under it.

ROOMS
ADDING ROOMS
After you have designed the
apartment and everything is fine, now you want to divide the apartment into a group of rooms, each of which
will have a space, a crown,
a specific name - etc. You can do this through a tool that is provided to you called room.
It also tells you that if he made a mistake and specified an area larger than the area you had in
mind, you can use a room separator and separate this area into more than one area.
-1 We will go and operate the room
-2 The modification screen will appear
Elsayed M. metwally
E: Wzsalt
The best thing is to do all the separators you want and adjust your plan one by one, and
then go to the automatic place.
F
Black: Af Akhlehi and a Mesh Hes
1- Revit is the one that arranges numbers according to
its mood. 2- If it has a shaft, Revit considers it a room and gives it a name and a crown. That’s why when you make a
move like press the crown

This is a
spirit - a list of tools will appear from which I can choose host select
When you run this tool, it will set the mode for you, so you will tell it to delete, and this will remove the light
from the accounts.
NB:
-1 - If you do not like the crown in its place, you can click on it and drag it to the place you want
-2 - You can change the name of the room and its number by selecting the room and editing from the
its properties
CONTROLLING ROOM NUMBERING
The best way is:
1- You will go to rooms, but Manuel. 2-
You will come to the first room and run the command, and then exit by clicking on the modify
tool and modify the name and number as you like.
3- Turn on the room tool again and it will go on to complete the number you
dialed in the order (don’t forget to do this, it must be on manually)
(You can specify more than one room and change their names together, as is normal)
Elsayed M. metwally
Very
important: Now if you have more than one recurring role and you come to a role, you have set the numbers
and names of the room and it is all done and you want all the recurring roles to remain similar to this role!!
The solution is very easy, take a look at it:
Revit will let me know how to copy the names and put them in the same place in the same
place. Not only that, it will also update the crown during each turn.
: Watt i L.A.K
-1 Go select the role you want and filter and leave only the tags room -2 Make
copies by using the clipboard to copy
-3 Go to the plan you want and do view current to aligned
(You can make this movement to an element you place in the program. The
important thing is that you have the same layout and nothing more than that.)

SCHEDULES AND TAGS
UNDERSTANDING TAGS
Tags, in short, can be considered a person whose only job is to ask his host a question, and when the host
answers it, the tag goes and takes the answer and shows it to him.
Note: By host, I mean the element to which the crown is attached. For example, I have a room with a crown on it, so
the room in this case is the element host.
An example of what I said are the numbers that appeared on the rooms a while ago!!
Don't be surprised, because what happened was that the Crown went to ask the room for its number and took that number and pretended to
show it.
The tag itself does not have any properties, and all modifications that can be made to it can be done from its
host. For example, this is a tag for a door. See the difference between its properties and the door’s properties.
ADDING SCHEDULING VIEWS

A type of quantity inventory table in Revit, but the best thing here is that it has a direct effect on the elements
that your project contains, meaning that if you delete or modify anything from it, the modification will be
automatically applied to the element that you were working on.

-1 We will go to create a new table from here
-2 A box will appear from which I can name it and choose the category I will work on
(My example I will make is schedule room)
-3 After that, something called the properties schedule will appear, and you will find all the fields in it
Schedule
Elsayed M. metwally
One of the very important things that you must know

before we close this session is the show live
that the schedule does!!!
Look at me now, I have selected a
specific room from the
schedule. You will find an automatic
machine that will go to the drawing and select this r
Elsayed M. metwally
MODIFYING SCHEDULE VIEWS
Be aware that the order in the schedule is done according to the order in which you drew,
meaning the one you draw first is the one that will appear there first.
The question now:
?Y
J A A Y MARSorting , of Is it me?
Good work
course, works as follows:
1 - You will open your schedule

2 - You will go to properties and scroll down there
until you find grouping / sorting
-3 The screen will appear from which you can
customize it as you like and customize the look as you like.
Elsayed M. metwally
NB:
There is a type of element called element nested. You upload it to the program in the form of a
single element, like the example of a table with its chairs, but the program deals with it in the schedule.
However, there are different elements, so it is expected that you will find a table and a number of chairs = 6
CREATING A KEY SCHEDULE
Let's create a simple scenario to understand the power of this tool:
Suppose now that you have 100 rooms, each room has finishes with different materials for the
ceiling, floors, walls - etc. And
now I want to do these finishes during the schedule. Will I go and do each room alone? Do I have a
tool that will make this matter easier for me?
Blessings be upon the Prophet. You now know, for example, that rooms of this type and their finishes will be made of
Mediterranean materials, and the dining rooms will be made of Mediterranean materials, and so on
What do you think? We make a small table with the types of rooms that I have and each type with its own
materials. After that, we go to the schedule and we only know the type of room and it will go automatically and
write the finishes.
eh? act of I know

You have this pain
We will create a schedule key with these steps:
Elsayed M. metwally
3 - The next step is important, and the most important thing in it is the order (we said that the order is
important for one reason, which is that the schedule starts to fill in automatically according to the order that
I entered in the key, and therefore the key must have the same order as the schedule)
Adele Ok so I can show you this beautiful page
Elsayed M. metwally
After adding the data, you will
find yourself reaching this view
-4 You will go to the large table and you will come before the
first Finish column and you will create a new column
as follows:

USING IMAGES IN SCHEDULES

One of the very important things that you can use in schedules are pictures.
All you need to do is go to add the field for the pictures and go to each row in the
schedule and add its own picture. You will notice
that the picture appears with its name only!! Where do you think the same image will appear?
By: Basma
The image will not appear unless you drag this schedule and drop it in any of the project's
sheets.
- Open the
sheet - Go to the browser project and drag the schedule and throw it in the place you like
In the sheet

ANNOTATION AND DETAILS

ADDING TEXT
As we dealt with before, through CAD, but here you will find the topic easier and more dynamic than
CAD!
Let's go and add explanatory texts to the painting and see what appears
-1 We will go and activate the tool and write what we want
2- When you finish writing and want to exit, click anywhere empty. 3- We
will click on the text after that to make some adjustments.
I know that you will ask me now and say, “Okay, as for the characteristics of the text, such as color, size,
weight, and all these things, where do I know how

to change them?”
You forgot that the text is an element in the program, and
since it is an element, it has type edit
You will find everything you dream of in it
Elsayed M. metwally
ADDING DIMENSIONS
All dimensions are the same as I dealt with them in the past, there are hardly any major differences except for a
specific type of dimension called dimension aligned and its abbreviation is DI.
Let us now do this and see what properties are associated with it
1 The first type is the one we are accustomed to, and the steps to implement it are 3 steps:
- Select the first line witness
- Determine the second line witness
- Press Space Wight to set your distance
2 When you want to put the special dimension on the wall once, this type of nickname will be convenient.
Once you activate it, all that is required of you is to press the wall only, and it will activate the line
witness from it.
3 These options will be activated in the entire state

walls only, and we can benefit from them if we have
openings in the walls and we want the program to divide
the dimensions along the wall and take these openings into account.
Elsayed M. metwally
NB :
If you click on any dimension you have, you will find a point appearing next to the
number from which you can drag the value of the dimension to the place
you want.
Sometimes you start the dimension in units and want to make a copy underneath it in other units. This
means, for example, if we are using metric and our units are in meters and we want to do something
in feet and inches under these
basic units - 1 - You will go to specify the dimension you want to make
this movement on - 2 - You will go to types edit from the properties area
3- Scroll down until you find the text section

-4 Scroll down to this part and you will find something called format alternate units. You will click on
it and select the unit you want and change it to ok.
Elsayed M. metwally
ADDING LEGEND VIEWS
D2 drawings illustrating the project elements:
Now, assume that you have a project and want to create a legend with the types of doors that are present in it
(something fancy like this, and it has data, materials, numbers, and manufacturers - for example) on it.

drawing will appear in the first place, and these are the things that
will appear in the sheets as we will not see after that)

4- When I first run this tool, a group of very important options will appear. Let’s get to know each other.

An example of this speech:
After that, this word will be dragged and placed in the sheets, as we did in the schedules, and it will appear

CREATING A DETAIL CALLOUT

If we have an area of the drawing that has a lot of details and I want to take a copy of this area to the
He looks side and put its details on it, and at the same time whoever holds the original painting knows
because of the painting that there are details in the area that he is standing on.
Method:
1-We will operate the tool the way we like
-2 If we make a rectangle, I will then be asked to define the corners and draw it normally
-3 Thus, anyone who holds the painting will know that this area contains a detailed drawing that we can reach
when we press bubble twice one after the other.
(We will click now and see which crop two regions appear to me and what is their benefit)
Elsayed M. metwally
ADDING FILLED REGIONS

It is one of the important things that you will need, especially when you like to make detailed drawings
We used to call this talk “hatching,” so let’s see how we do it here. 1-We will work on
this matter
-2 When I turn it on, it will open the sketch mode like this
3- Mark your area on the drawing and keep in mind that it must be closed and not contain overlap
When you select it, you will go to type edit (in case you do not find the material you want to fill with
in the drop-down list for family)

If you use type edit, go make duplicate and edit it in your brain (the
best way)

SHEETS, PLOTTING, AND PUBLISHING

WORKING WITH SHEETS
In this session, we will learn how to make a presentation sheet and work from a group of
sheets called a list sheet.

ÿ The topic of doing something simply is done through
project browser ÿÿ
- You will go to the sheets area and say new
sheet
After you make a sheet, the mind says that you will
create a view place inside this sheet, or you can
put something like drafting views or schedules

that you like.
ÿ You can do all of this by opening the sheet and going to the thing you want to put inside it and
pulling it out and making inserts in the sheet in the place you like - You
can do this in another way, which is by opening the sheet and operating this tool:
A box contains everything that you want to insert when you

start this tool
(Pallets - partitions - facades - inventory of quantities -

illustration --- etc.)
Elsayed M. metwally
After you create a collection of sheets, you will organize your work and create what is called a list sheet
We will collect all our checks in it, with numbers, names, and any additional data that I would like to show
so that I can easily reach the check that I want after that.

The best thing here is that when you make a modification in the list sheet, this modification will be applied
permanently to the sheet that you modified.

WORKING WITH THE PLACEHOLDER SHEETS
Here we will do the opposite of what we did above, meaning:
We will go first and create the list sheet, and from it we will create the sheets that I want
1- Go first and make the list sheet and it will be empty with nothing in it. 2- You will use the
row data insert tool to create rows and each row will represent a sheet in
The project
3-When you first go to create a new sheet, you will find a box that appears to you in which there is a section called select
placeholder and it contains all the things that you created in the list a little while ago with the insert tool

-4 You can select all, and at once, you can do all of the project’s issues, and you can choose what you like,
meaning you want it. The topic is available to you in any form.

ALIGNING VIEWS WITH A GUIDE GRID

There are many times when you need to make drawings for a certain role, and you want the drawing of each role to be
in the same place as the rest of the roles.
(In short, you will align more than one sheet at one point)
!guide grid ÿÿ
Focus on the steps well:
1- We will go to run the grid guide tool
-2 I will have this small square
We give him the name and then we call him ok
You will use the grid for me, so I will go to

the intersection there
- I will go and run the move tool

- I will go to find out the first point on the intersection of the grid that I chose. - I
will go to know the second point on the data datum, such as reference lines or grid.
levels ÿÿ lines
(Until then, you have set the first board to a certain point, and all that remains is for us to set the rest of the board to the
same point.)
Elsayed M. metwally
Go and open any tab and click anywhere empty until properties appear
The sheet that we will put down until we reach the grid guide and choose our grid from it
(You will go this time and take two steps opposite to the two steps you took the first time)
1- I will start the move tool
2-You will choose the first point, the data datum (the same point you chose in
The first panel must be in the second panel (
3-You will choose the second point, which is the intersection grid (the same intersection that we
made in the first panel)

EXPORTING TO AUTOCAD
Today we will work with DWG, so you will go ahead and select it so that this export box will appear.
(Look at the part about modifying layers and the export format in general)
-1 You will find a tab called Layers. The most important thing in it is that you choose the standard in which
the layers will be arranged when you export.
-2 You will find a tab called coordinates & units, the most important thing in it is
Elsayed M. metwally
-3 There is a tab called general, from which you can export old versions of CAD
(Choose and adjust the settings and export, and congratulations)
You must know that the drawings that come out on top will not be of the same quality as if they were drawn
on the CAD itself.
PLOTTING AND CREATING A PDF
The last thing we will talk about in this course is the topic of PDF setup
In printing, there is not much talk about choosing the size of the paper, the type of display, whether the page
will be Fit and Zoom, in addition to the colors, which are often black lines --- etc.

Course 2: Revit MEP Essentials

STARTING A PROJECT
LINKING
Today we will start the first MEP project and we will see what are the basic steps that you
will take in any project of this type.
Buttons: Kh
Routes 1- We will go to open the program and run the application for
the electrical 2- When we turn on the temp, we will go to save it and I will get this screen:
(Go to save and set the number of backup copies you want and change it to OK) 3 -
We will go to insert and make revit link

4- Keep in mind when we insert the following:
5- We will look at this file until it is all marked in blue and go to the modify menu
And we make it a pin (this is how you made a pin to the architect’s plate so that you don’t make a mistake
after that and move anything from it and spoil yourself for the work you did)
-6 After that, we will use A+Z, the shortcut to fit to all zoom, in order to see the entire panel in its shape.
How do you work?
Elsayed M. metwally
: This is the way
There is an easier way to do this from the browser project
In our project today, we will create a link to two files:
-1 architectural file
-2 construction file
7- When you have finished making the link and you see your painting and find it in a dull color and you
want to make the lines a little clearer, you can do this from here.
Elsayed M. metwally
A box in which you will adjust the weight and brightness He will appear to you
-8 The next step is to make the bounding room!! what's the meaning ?!!
T
: room bounding the corporal
The bounding room is that you let the program sense the walls in the file you created a link to so that it
can then know how to use spaces and perform calculations for different systems (you can do this
from here)
When the box for properties type appears, you will check like this
(Note: You will move over the file you are linking to until it is defined by a blue line, then click on it)
Elsayed M. metwally
Keep in mind that you can do this by double clicking on any link in the project browser
COPY/MONITOR
So I took a copy of the painting (it is considered a picture) and I will not be able to benefit from
it in any way because in the end it is a

picture and not an editable file. Ok, now I want to have my own levels for electrical workers.
How can I do this?
-1 We will go to open the elevation south to see the levels

2- You will find that we have levels for the architect and construction. For example, I only want the
architect, so I will go to do graphic visibility for this video and remove the levels for the construction.
Elsayed M. metwally
If you find that the levels are still not very clear, you can make the scale a little smaller
Stay focused with me:
The template you are using will have two default levels
- There are people who like to use them by aligning them with the new levels. - There are
people who like to delete them and do everything from the beginning.
Elsayed M. metwally
Alignment method:
1- You will start the align tool
-2 You will choose the level that will be aligned in proportion
-3 You will choose the level you want to align
In today's project, I will clear these levels and work from scratch:
-1 We will go to select the entire contents of the painting while I am standing at the elevation south
2- I will run the filter tool and find two things in it: the link and the levels
3- Filter on the levels and delete them
4- We will go to the Collaborate menu and run this tool:
From the name of the tool, you notice that after you run it, you will go on and on clicking on your link.
Elsayed M. metwally
(Hover your mouse over the link and when you first find it, it is highlighted in blue. Click on it to
make it selected.)
5- This menu will appear and I will choose the copy tool from it to copy the levels.
Architect
6- When I first run the copy tool, a group of options will appear
-7 After you finish and go to drag your new levels outside, you will find something
In this view
Elsayed M. metwally
8- I will go and run the monitor command after that and go through each level and click on it twice
so that if the architect makes any movement in these levels, I will be monitored and know
what he did.
CREATING FLOOR PLANS

copy and we made our own levels. We said about these levels that if you think about
what we did, it is not related
to any plan we have. Now we will make the power and lighting panels and put our levels in
them as we like.
How to make floor plans from predefined levels ?
-1 We will activate the floor plans from here
-2 When I start it, this box will open for me
Elsayed M. metwally
If you go to the project browser and look at power
You will find what we were standing on while we were running the plan floor
tool
We will make an addition to celling plans with the same idea
Everything is not the same!!
When we did this, the plans celling appeared in this scene. To solve this
problem, focus with me:
- We will go and look at each celling of them (we will do one by one,
unfortunately)
- We will click on it and its properties will appear. - We will leave
the discipline as electrical and the discipline-sub as power.
Elsayed M. metwally
-3 We will go and do the same thing with the lighting, and if any problem appears at all, we will know how
We treat it
NB:
If you notice while you are doing the lighting, when you run the plans floor tool, no levels will appear, because
we have already linked them to the project, so in order to show them, the world will be changed, which we were
talking about before.
After that, you can open any panel and go to adjust what you want to appear in it and what you
do not want to appear through the VG (graphic visibility)
Elsayed M. metwally
Let me tell you how we made floor plans for lighting!!
1- We will go to run the plans floor tool
We will open the electrical plan that you see in this picture and modify the following:
Elsayed M. metwally
You come back again and remove the duplicate, select the levels, and change it to OK, and it will appear as long as it appears in the
project browser
(If we come across another method after that, we will explain it. Don’t worry, but be aware of this for now.)
REVIT ELECTRICAL
ADDING RECEPTACLES
While we were working on the project, we noticed that there was a pattern
on the board that was worked on in this scene
We want to do a VG for this plan floor (the first floor of the power panel
floors)
edit type will work -1
2- You will open the electrical plan that we talked about a while ago. 3-
You will go to a section called Model Override G/V.
Go to floors and come to 4 - when it opens, make sure that the architecture part is working for you and do an
override
-5 This screen will appear. Do it exactly like this
(All of this was fine-tuned before we started working)
Let's add the receptacle
Elsayed M. metwally
ADDING PANELS
Electricity panels are the backbone of our distribution issue, and in our project, we will go to do a
family load for the lighting and fixture panel in this way - 1. We will turn on the
equipment.
Many things will appear in the properties that you can choose from, but I will go to load
family and choose a board of my own
Elsayed M. metwally
There are a few things you should take care of:
-1 It is important that you make a system distribution for this panel
(You will find it visible in the tools when you come to draw the picture)
Note: After that, we will know how to create our own distribution system other than what Revit provided
hypothetical
From the properties of the panel, we will make a label name so that we can distinguish it
2-When you choose the panel, you will find a new widget appearing above it
Let's make one default and see what appears
Elsayed M. metwally
You will find a lot of things related to the board and the loads that will be attached to it, and we will know how to deal
with this talk, but it is too much for me.
CREATING SPACES
1- We will go to run the space tool
2- Since we were working on bounding the room, he will feel the walls and you will find him setting boundaries on
the room every time you encroach on them.
Now we know how to adjust the tag that appears for me in terms of
name and number!
Let's first understand what the story of this crown is!
Until the - you are the first to pass this space cross and click on it
because I want to show you something.
(Scroll down in the properties of space and you will find this word)
Elsayed M. metwally
Now, I want to make my tag look like what the architect used to do, and every time I go to create a
space, it places it automatically without hurting my brain. Space in our example
( 1-You will go to press the crown itself) the word 2-
You will go to family edit
3- The editing screen will open for you, so you will choose the name first.
4- When you choose the name, a tool will appear above its name, Label Edit. Go choose it.
A screen will appear with name, select it and delete it
-5 - We will do the same movement
with the number 6 - After you finish, you will run the tool close and project into load
Elsayed M. metwally
CREATING A CIRCUIT
Select which receptacle you have and you will find the back of this tool (go run it). -1 soul
2- When you run the tool, you will find the following appearing:
3- When we run the circuit edit tool, a third group of tools will appear. Let’s get to know them.
Elsayed M. metwally
- You will find your cursor in the shape of a flag + You will go to all the elements you want in this
circle and click on them (you will be pressing the CTRL key
with you) - We will choose the
1pp panel that you have been working on for a while - Don’t
forget to go to the properties and load
name so you can distinguish it in the schedule panel
ADDING LIGHTING FIXTURES

-1 We will go to open the 1 plan celling lighting
-2 We find that the spaces are enabled, but there are no tags!! -3
We will go to remove the tags from here
-4 We will go to turn on the fixture lighting tool
We will choose what we want, but keep in mind that it must be suitable for the grid
Elsayed M. metwally
NB :
In order to make a flip on a diagonal line like what we will see now, follow these steps
1- Hover the mouse over the line until it appears in blue (this means that you should pick it). 2-
Use the ruler to flip it in the direction you want. There is a small problem,
which is that you need to know whether the
lights of this door when it opens will be in conflict
with it
or not? - You will use range view to see the door

- Then decide whether the location of the fixture is
correct or not - Make sure you are on this path << lightin
celling plans >> level 1
Elsayed M. metwally
ADDING SWITCHES
The topic will not differ much from the things we talked about, so look with us:
1- Run the tool from the device
Click on any lamp you have and two options will appear - 2 - When you put the switch on, go
- We will run the switch tool (for example) - Here we will
find tools that appear, from which we will choose switch select, and when I choose it, it will send me to the
panel so that I can click on my switch and select it.
Go and press the CTRL key while you edit the circuit and add the elements you want to it. Finally, you can
verify the number here.

CREATING AND LABELING A WIRING PLAN

One of the very beautiful things in Revit is the topic of automatic wiring
Look with me:
- First make sure that you are standing here. 1 level >> plan floor >> power
- Go to VG and uncheck the fixture and lighting
devices, they will come to you while you are doing wiring, and in the end, you do not need them for
anything
- Go and choose one of the receptacle between which you will make
wiring and press the TAB key. You will then find an imaginary circle
appearing in the shape of the wiring.
Click on any receptacle go - When you see this shape,
to see the following
(Click on the shape you want, and then let us adjust the wires that
will be present in these circles)
Elsayed M. metwally
wiresÿ Natal from

Tayhan
mange We will choose the setting mep tool -1 From a list
There is something important that you must do after that in order for your work to be complete, which
is to go to the category by tag tool and go to the arrow that goes to the panel and give it a tag.
(We will apply this step to make a crown well)
1- We will go and choose the name for the tag, whatever
it may be. 2- We will do a family edit until the editing screen opens. 3- I
will go and choose the name or number present and do a label edit (All of this we did before, consider
that we are reviewing)
-4 I will add the new label as panel

5-It is better to remove the leader

ADDING CONDUIT
First make sure that you are standing at level 1 >> plan floor >> power
-1 We will go and cut a clip that looks towards the wall where the pipe will pass.
2- I will go to open the clip and mark the plate until these signs appear on it

3-The first time I say face from conduit draw, I find myself on another screen, from which I determine the location of
the hole that will be on the board and where I will love the conduit.
-4 When I first finished, I found him turning around and starting to draw the conduit with me
DRAW CONDUIT WITH SPECIAL FITTINGS
Suppose now that you want to use a elbow made of a specific material in a specific area and you are drawing
the conduit, how can you do it?
to
: Watt iKh A
-1 Go to draw the hyphen that comes out of your keyboard and press ESC twice to exit.
From the
command 2 - Make a family load for the elbow
you want. 3
- When you make a family load, you will
choose the conduit that you drew
and type edit it.
4-After you open the type edit
We will duplicate it
-5 In the new version, I will leave the bend as the elbow that I am still using as family load
Elsayed M. metwally
-6 After you let it go and exit again to your drawing, you will notice that the conduit has two
control points. When you right-click on them, you will find a command called conduit draw.
(You will notice that when you apply any bend, it will go down to the elbow that you are still doing.)
If you want to use anything else, all you will do is exit the draw command and choose the thing you
want to use. After that, you will go to the last place you drew in the conduit and say “context menu”
from draw conduit.

PLAN VIEWS -VIEW TEMPLATE

Let's review again the topic of levels and floor plans
We will now create a project from scratch that includes panels for the power and panels for lighting (ceiling and floors).
-1 We will go to delete the two levels that the program placed with the temp elec
-2 I will go to collaborate and choose monitor/copy
3- I will say link select and go to the link revit until it is defined from the outside with a blue line,
click on copy and I
will run the multiple selection with it and go to choose the levels -4 I will say it after
that and make sure in the filter that I do not specify anything other than the levels.
5- Finish after that, and if you want to do a monitor, we knew the method before
6- After that, I will go and make floor plans for both the power
and the lighting, and problems will certainly arise, so let us
apply our words step by step.
View >> plan view >> floor plan -
The first time it will appear like this because there is no level linked to any
plan before, so I will select it and make it OK.
Fortunately for me, the program

downloaded this statement in my floor pla
power
Elsayed M. metwally
- I want to make floor plans for lighting, and here the problem will appear!
Where did the luck appear!!
I know you're going to say it's simple, uncle, don't go away
Their discipline-sup is lighting

And the problem will be solved!!
Let's choose one of them and try to do the words

she says and see what it shows us
This lock is due to something called the template view, which in this case is called electrical
plan
What is required of you now is to create your own temp view and leave discipline-sup
His lighting
NB:
This step that you will do is what is used when the designer needs to create a special section, for
example, for light current or something that is not included in the discipline-sup provided by the program.
Elsayed M. metwally
Hey!template

1- We will go to open the level in which the data was locked a while
ago. 2- We will go to its properties, on the data identity section, and here we will find something called
We will choose view template
This screen will open for us and focus on what we will do with it
I will save this speech, and all that is required of me after that is that I will go and select the plan I
want to move, go down its properties, and change the temp view from the electrical plan.
For the version I still made (I named it here lighting plan electrical)
We will apply the same words to celling, there is no difference
Elsayed M. metwally
LIGHTING ANALYSIS
Now we want to learn how to integrate between Revit and Deluxe using building green XML files,
abbreviated as gbxml.
- The first thing that needs to be is that the file coming out of Revit should be rooms or spaces
- A very, very important thing is when you make space to operate the lighting, which is the offset, because you will place the
lights and you want their effect from the beginning of the fallen ceiling, not from the beginning of the real ceiling.
You can know the height of the falling ceiling as follows:
Open any celling plan
Open the annotate tools and choose from them
Knowing that you will only walk with this tool
over the object whose height you want to
know without putting pressure on it or setting
dimensions.
- I will go and export to gbxml after that
Elsayed M. metwally
So, I finished the Revit part. Let's open the Daleks
We will enter the file, distribute the flashlights, save the file in dwg or dwf form, enter it into Revit again, and
put the place of what we put in the Daleks as real models in Revit with the same sizes and the same
specifications.
problem :
There is no gbxml in the 5 evo. Do you think what we will do with this problem?
Currently, the solution that I know of is that we will install an old version that has support for this speech until we run a search to see a
better solution.
The second solution is to export in IFC format and use version 7.1 evo

SETTING APPLICATIONS
You must understand which circuit you will be using. All of its components must be set to the same
voltage. Also,
the board to which you will connect these elements must be at the same voltage. We will now
take an example of this for two circuits, one of which is power and the other is switching.
:power lighting circuit ÿÿ HF
The lighting supply circuits must have their wiring visible and have a mark on them
-1 You will go to the fixture
2-You will go to click on one of them and activate the power tool
-3 You will go to circuit edit

-4 You will go to add whatever you want to the power circle
5-Choose the panel to which this word is linked
We have done all these steps before, all that remains is that we unify the voltage system for each fixture
wall panel)
In order to set the fixture, choose any one of them -
after that, open the type edit
Elsayed M. metwally
- From the type edit, go to set the voltage ballast to 222 that you are working on\
I have a problem with adjusting the panel. I hope you can undo it from another place
NB:
In most cases, switching circuits are not used for wiring unless the place is small and you want to
show it as an illustration.
PANEL SCHEDULES
After you have set the definitions of voltages and system distribution
I created the circuit and unified the efforts of its elements with the panel. We will see
how we can create schedules panel and balance phase on Revit.
to
: WattKh

1 - I will go to name the circles I made by - Select any

element in the circuit - Press TAB
until a blue box appears, made with dash lines.
- When this box appears, click again on one of the circuit elements
Elsayed M. metwally
- You can also go to the properties and change the name load
- You can also change the elements of the circuit as you like
2 - When you make a name, you will go to set the DF (demand
factor) that you will work
on - you will open the ES
- You will open the calculation load
- After that, we will choose the type of lamp that I used, and let it be lighting for my residential area
Elsayed M. metwally
Elsayed M. metwally
- In our example, we used a fixed coefficient for the fire, let it be 82%.
-3 We will go to open the schedule panel
There are still parts left, let's get to know them
Elsayed M. metwally
-4 How do I do the balancing phase on the three visas? - While you are still
in the schedule, you will find a command called
- Go to work on this matter
- The first time you start it, it will distribute the loads equally as much as possible between the three
phases, and it will move the entire circles from the phase - The reason that everything is not exactly equal is
that it is a phase, not part of it.
VIEW RANGE
1- Assume now that you are standing on the plan floor, which means that you will look down!
You are drawing on the floor, so the logical thing is that you will look at the place where you are going to draw, which
will be at your feet.
- In order to explain this to you more, I assume that you are making a network of pipes on the floor. - It
is logical that since you are standing on the floor and the pipes will be sleeping on the floor, then the offset
with which the pipes will be drawn = 2
= offset This means that the pipes are there - Ok, now we made the pipes with 100 mm - under the concrete, and
when you look under your feet you will never see them because they are out of your field of vision, which
was the floor of the floor you are standing on.
Elsayed M. metwally
Floor plan Offset = 0
Offset = -100
- Now I want to see this pipe. What should I do?
Simply put, you need to enlarge your vision in order to understand how to look with me
Elsayed M. metwally
- Come on, let's open the field of view to this floor and see how we can see this pipe again.
ÿ I see the depth limit (it must be greater than the bottom), meaning if the
Bottom is 1 level and 0 offset, and I set the depth to -200, so it is below level. The first floor, I will
be able to see a distance = 222 mm.
Celling plane
ÿ Here he is standing, somersaulting and looking up
If the depth, for example, is 122, this means that I can see a distance of 122 above my top.
”
4 Example: I stayed above celling!! ÿ If you set the
number '1, if you assume now that the celling was 4 feet away, then you will see the celling limit.
But first, when you increase the number a little more than that, you are now above the celling, and the ceiling in front
of you currently is the real ceiling. Thus, if you turn on any electrical element and tell it to face on place, it will remain.
Elsayed M. metwally
This means that it will be installed in the real ceiling, not the imaginary ceiling, because the purely imaginary one
came out of the vision range.
SCHEDULE QUANTITIES
Quantities of bill tables, abbreviated BIQ
1- Go to the tool from here
Let us take stock of Example 2 - A box will appear after that, from which I will choose the category that I want to
do. We want to make the lighting device work.
3- I go to set the fields and in this example the following will appear:
- Number of flashlights
- The sign on which they are tied - The
type of flashlights - The
number of the circle in which the flashlight is drawn -

GENERAL NOTES
AT
:edit panel A Y Mill From
Many times you need to change the voltage of a particular panel you have in order to connect it
to a circuit
- The first thing you will do is draw the panel you want
- The next thing you will do is click on it and choose family edit
- The third thing you will choose is its electrical connector (make sure
you clicked on the big circle and nothing else)
- Enter the properties and you will find the voltage for pH 3 if the panel has 3
phases or the voltage for pH 1 if it has one phase.
Memorize these words and it will remain a very simple thing, which is to determine the system distribution

I will choose the fields that will make up my table (the word field here means the column of the table)
If there is any element in the table that you do not know, you can see its location in the artboard by selecting
it from the table and running this command:

ADDING AND SCHEDULING PROJECT PARAMETERS

We now want to create new parameters other than what the program provides, and also
use these parameters in the schedules.

We will continue with our parameters, but now we will do it in another way and add a mathematical
equation to it.
And go to the second command that is written on it after this appears in your fields, select it
value Calculated (You will find it under the parameter add command in the image above)

For example :
Now, I can create a schedule key and put the models I used and the price of each model in
it. After that, I go to my inventory table and put the price of this model from the key.
Using the equations that I can create and add from here, I do what I want to these fields.

KEYNOTE LEGENDS
Simply put, you will go to add notes to the drawing, but using numbers, and after that, these
numbers will have a legend that will be collected in
them. The best feature here is that, for example, if there is a board and you add a keynote to it, and
you go to another board and add another keynote, and so on.
Whenever you withdraw the legend keynote and put it in a sheet, only what is specific to the
panel in the sheet will appear in it.
(You can adjust this word from the setting note key in this view)
Elsayed M. metwally
It must be loaded with families

Click twice to place it in the place you chose, and then a screen will appear
containing the notes that you had prepared in the txt file before, and you used
to load them in the setting keynote box.
Elsayed M. metwally
The best way to create a txt file using key and value
1- Open Excel and create two columns in it, the first for key and the second for key
for value
2- Go to the key and each one will go to his own value text. 3- From Excel,
do as save and choose the text Unicode format.
Because if you write anything in Arabic, it will appear with you

how it will work.

REVIT VIEW RANGE

VIEW RANGE SETTINGS
We have 7 definitions in the range view. Let's get to know them, and then we will know where each one of
them is and we will use them in the field.
Primary range top -1

Primary range cut plane -2
Primary range bottom -3
View depth level -4
Primary range -5
View depth -6
View range -7
This means that the man who was standing crossed a distance of one meter and 22 cm from the beginning of the ceiling, stood there and
is
looked at the bottom, and thus he would see everything that remained in the range.
Top range = 12000
View range = level 2 – 12000
Depth = 0
Elsayed M. metwally
Top range = 12000
Depth = 1000
View range = depth + ( level 2 – top range )
T: The leg is the stem
The issue here will be easier because the bottom is not recognized
Elsayed M. metwally
The man standing flipping is the first thing he will look at after we have crossed a distance of 2322 from the
associated level 1. He will look up at the ceiling tiles and he will also see the lighting devices or anything I
have drawn on the tiles and he will continue to watch until he reaches the negative of the second floor.
It is very important that if you want to have a certain face in front of you, you can install something on it!! ( ) This topic
clarification :
- I remember when we were installing lighting devices, we used to choose the face on place tool, and
since the first thing that meets me on the floor is the tiles, it is natural that the face on which I place
the lighting devices is the tiles.
- Maybe someone can come and tell you that I want the first thing you meet me to be the negative of the ceiling and not
I want to see these tiles completely.
You can change the range view of the ceiling and we will leave it like this
NB :
It is not necessary to apply the range view to the entire account, but you can apply it to any area you
want in the account using these steps:

If we are talking about the view itself, then we will set this word from the graphic visibility, but if
we are talking about the project with all its views, then we will set this word from the styles object.
Let us now open the styles object and see how many things there are that we will use frequently
Elsayed M. metwally
Course 4: Tools for Project Documentation

SCALING AND THIN LINE MODE
One of the very important things that you need to take care of in different views is the issue of
scaling, because when it becomes larger than a certain value, it causes all the annotations
to overlap.
The mode in which you see this panel is called mode lines thick, and this makes every
element appear on the panel according to its weight line, and the scale that the panel is
used in is called
mode again, called mode line thin, which makes the lines appear with thickness = 1
Elsayed M. metwally
DETAIL LINE
Illustrative lines for a specific drawn shape. The advantage is that they will not be affected by the views,
because in the end they are annotations.
1-We will take care of it from here
Elsayed M. metwally
2- It will open the sketch mode for the command
Draw the shape you want in the way you want
CRAETE NEW LINE STYLE
Revit provides you with approximately 6 styles of the line, so if you would like to make one or
more of your own, you can do them from here.
Elsayed M. metwally
After you add it, you can go to modify the weight and color from the list that we made new from a
while ago
LOADED TAGS
Now, when you want to tag an element, whether a door, a wall, a window, or any other
element, it asks you to load the library with this tag in order to
save yourself this suffering while you are working on a specific project. You can go to a tool
called symbols and tags loaded, in which you will collect everything. You want to use it and
then it will work for a long time
Elsayed M. metwally
You can open any family and do a family edit on it and leave it with the shape and labels that you
want and save it, and after that you open this place and make it a family load and make it with
what you want.

like.
REVISIONS
While you are working on the project, there will come a time when you will change something that you
had left in the project for a long time. For example, there was a certain window, and you came at one
stage and found that if you used another window, it would be better, and in order to know who
was holding the sign, that you made a change in this area, we will remove it. This is called revision,
and we will now see how we do it

Course 5: revit collaboration worksharing

GETTING STARTED
TERMS - SETTINGS
The whole idea is that I will create a central file with a set of permissions for a group of
individuals, and each of them will have his own file to work on, and everyone in the end
will go into the central file.
Before we start our work, we would like to know some basics about the principle of sharing-work
IMPROTANT DEFINATIONS
1- Central file
2- Local file
3- Worksets
4- Elements
5- Synchronization with central
Every time you open the program, it is best to create a file from the local files
What you do with it will be more stable and cleaner every time
Elsayed M. metwally
Something like this is similar to classes in CAD, for example, if I am working in the electrical part
I am required to make trays cable, so I will go and make a workset, call it tray-cable, activate it, and
draw on it.
You do not need to make it editable if you want to make an edit within one of its elements.
You will make it editable if you want to make an edit to the workset in general.
Elsayed M. metwally
In normal projects, every time you finish a job, you go to save, but...!!
The
file in projects that are shared between a group of individuals will be synchronized with the
central one instead of saving, which you used to do in the normal project.
SOME GENERAL SETTINGS
There are a group of options for worksharing. Let us learn about them. 1-
Open the options from the application menu
Elsayed M. metwally
WORKSETS MANAGEMENT
We have 4 types of Worksets, divided as follows:
revit created of them 3 ÿ

user – defined of them 1 ÿ
Any element you place in the project, whether a door, a wall, a floor, a ceiling, etc.,
will be created automatically by its own
workset, with the same idea as for the views, a plan, a sketch, or an illustration that you
will create. Revit will automatically create its own workset.
Elsayed M. metwally
What is required of you here is that you only know the existence of these needs and how you know how to reach
them, but modifying them or doing anything to them will not benefit you. The reason is simple that all of our
dealings will be with the defined -user and not with other countries.
DEFAULT WORKSETS
When you first turn on worksharing, you will have two worksets, one of which contains all the levels
and grids of the project, and the other contains the full geometry of the project (
The elements that make up each part of the project (
Elsayed M. metwally
Kh
Don't worry:
ÿ You can rename and delete as you wish, but at least the project must have a workset
At least one ÿ
Make sure every workset you create has a name that describes its content
CENTRAL FILE
At the beginning of any project, it is necessary to create a central file and place it on a server, and we allow the
initiating personnel to have access to this file.
Oh

If you were running worksets on the central and discovered that you don't need them for anything,
then normally you would tell the central when it syncs, so it will go and remove these worksets as follows:
When the tool box opens, make sure that you have used these settings
Close this file and forget to open it again, except in circumstances that we will talk about a little more. The
important thing is that you understand that the general rule is that it is forbidden to work on the central file.

worksharing principle.

You must make sure that you break the first rule and modify the central file from the following:
1-All the individuals working in the project outside anyone kick
2-Make sure that you relinquish everything before returning the file to service again
THE BASICS
! sync now ÿÿÿ
This is the command that synchronizes between the local files and the central files, and when you turn it on, it does 3.
Needs
-1 It will do synchronization
-2 It will show the work that other people sent to the file central in the file local
yours
-3 It will backup the local you are working on
Very important:
Elsayed M. metwally
DETACHING FROM CENTRAL
You must know the first thing that when you first disconnect from the central file through a certain local, it becomes
impossible to connect it again to the central file.
(Whoever we love, we will love him, and our enjoyment becomes his enjoyment. And whoever separates from us, we will separate from him, and it is forbidden for us to meet him.)
How hard? ÿ ÿ ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ÿÿÿEÿto B Ib Tay
ÿ The simplest reason is that the project manager asks to see something in your file only, or that you enter to print
some views or sections, and therefore the purpose will never be to connect to the central file and
synchronize it.
: WattL.A.K

1- Go to any central file you have (for the project you are working on) 2- Make open in the same
way we used to create files local if you think.
Elsayed M. metwally
When you make this selection and change it to open, the following will appear:
Elsayed M. metwally
NO WORKSETS !!
At one point, I discovered that you would not need worksharing for anything and that you would work
on the project alone. What would you do?
any?NS
Walk with me on these steps:
-1 We will make a detachment from the central file as we learned above
2- When the message after “open” appears, I will choose the second option from it and create a separation
of all the worksets I have.
Do as save and congratulations
Elsayed M. metwally
RESTROING BACKUPS
Once upon a time, and you were fine. Now assume that you are working in the file local and you have
saved something from the options. You want to make backup copies of 5 examples, and as fate
would have it, the copy you are working on has a problem and you need to get one of the backups
that you were making. How will you proceed?
(Keep in mind that this also applies to the central file)
- After that, it will be automatic on the folder, and you will find it at the end of its name, backup
Elsayed M. metwally
The problem is that when you do this on a central file, you will find that it tells you that this file is pure as
save, and you make it a central file again. It is no longer a central file and you have to do
it, and therefore you have two separate central files that are not related to each other.

Aside from the topic we are talking about now, when you draw on any workset, make sure that
the workset is active.
If there is an element drawn in a workset other than its own, you

can then select the element and go to its properties in the data
identity section and change the workset at your convenience.

Course 6: Revit with CAD

INTRODUCTION
INSERT A CAD DRAWING INTO REVIT
The whole idea of the linking topic is to obtain a BIM model through which we can interact with
the building and see all the technical problems that may occur at the time of
implementation. You can import in more than one way. During Revit, we will tell each
method and its advantages and disadvantage
IMPORT
In this method, I take a copy of the CAD, meaning Revit will understand that there is a line in the place
The False and its circle are in the False place,
and so on, the size here will be a little large, but it will still be very comfortable when you like to model and
find a snap on the lines, as we will see when we come to implement the project. The program will work
with you for this course.
(Mostly we will use this method)
If there is a modification, you will not be able to reload it here
LINK
The size will be small and light for the project, but here you will sacrifice that Revit can read fonts because
in the end, it takes a copy of the file, not a copy of it. If there is a modification,
you will know about it and be able to reload it, so it will appear with you for a long time.
CAD LAYER MANAGEMENT
Our first step to preparing the CAD file consists of the layer tools menu
ÿ Firstly, you can open the manger layer and look at the layers in it
Board
ÿ We will use the off layer tool to turn off the layers that I do not need in the file
) While I am doing import there in Revit, I will specify that I want to import for visible
layers only)
The tool we said we will use is this:
Yp n
ÿÿ:
So, make the thickness of the walls in CAD before you transfer the file to Revit, so that when it works, you go and duplicate
it and prepare all the walls, and after that, you draw along the length and everything is in front of you instead of sitting
around measuring every little bit.
After you turn off, you will go to all purge to delete all the layers that will not be used
and reduce your file.
Elsayed M. metwally
CAD PROPERTIES MANAGEMENT

One of the important things that we must control before exporting is the line types
- You must make sure that all line types and use the layer by property
(I don't know, to be honest, how I will ignore the lines, but if the drawing is small, I think this issue will not
be a problem.)
The weights line would preferably be all layer by
I will tell you a nice way to do this, but it will require some patience from you
-1 - You will go to the layers you prefer on the board and keep them in order, one by one, and do layer
current a set (what I mean is that we will set one and when we finish it, we will get the next one,
and so on)
-2 You will select all and say freeze
Elsayed M. metwally
- When you first freeze the rest of the layers, your current layer will appear in the drawing area
In this view
All you have to do then is select all and go to set the weight and type of the font
as layer-by
(These steps are organizational and make the work look better on Revit, but in the end, at your convenience)
Elsayed M. metwally
Architect implementation before and after export
1- We will do
architectural cleaning y f n t watKhi
(Cleaning is turning off all the layers that you do not want, and we will know the steps now)
: nf p n Altwat Kh
i
- If the architecture is a block, make it explode - We will go

and run the off tool from the layers tools menu and remove and off all the layers that we do not
need. I will go and remove
the layers for dimensions, crowns, and sometimes grids and furniture - Mostly I - I will select all
the layers and make them 8 color - Move
For the new step, focus with me - 2.
Each AutoCAD plan will be saved in a whiteboard, and all plans must have the same origin.
: WattL.A.K
i
- The first thing we will do is define the architecture (after cleaning, of course) and make all the
layers 8 colors, and we did this step during cleaning - we will
define the whole shape as a block, and I will say that I make the block point pick and choose a fixed point.
It is known because I will use it in steps after that
Elsayed M. metwally
- After that, we will go to as save and save this plan. - We will
enter another plan, whether floors or ceiling. We will talk about everything. - We
will do cleaning, change the color, turn it into a block, and choose a fixed point from it. (It is best that it be
The same point that we chose in the first plan (
So that everyone has the same origin, and this is the most important effective step, we will do the following
- You made the first plan as save, and you no longer need a tablet for anything, so leave it
It is open because we will set the other blocks on it as follows
- You will go from the point in the first plan and draw a small line that I will use as a guide for me as well.
- You will go to delete the first plan and leave this small line - Copy
the second plan with the command C + SHIFT + CTRL
- You come to the first plan panel and do V + SHIFT + CTRL or V + CTRL
sure
Until the line and then it remains the same - move the second line from the same point and let it go.
origin of the first plan - delete
the line and press s + shift + ctrl to save the second plan as save in the panel
Alone too - Repeat
the topic if you have more than one mind
(You can leave the font in its place if you will use it a lot and leave its layer off) so that it does not appear in the export
of the file that will be saved (
E: Foundations WattKh
i To complete a t
3- We will enter each CAD panel into its place in the plans of Revit. This means, for example, that in the CAD
plan of the floor for the first floor, when I enter it into Revit, I make sure that I am open.
Elsayed M. metwally
Floor plans >> 0- floor plan
And the ceiling belongs to the ground. Make sure I have it light in Revit
Celling plans >> 0- celling plan
4- We will draw the floors first, then the walls, then the ceiling, and then the architectural details
If you want to put it down
(The floor of the second floor is the same as the ceiling of the first floor, meaning you will mostly use the
floor command, and we will only use the roof command in the last floor if you like)
-5 We will repeat the topic for each role
Kha: NoL y talk mKh
- You will need elevations and sections to know the height of each floor and know the height of the dropped
ceiling and the normal ceiling, as well as the negatives of the floors and beams.
- As for the floor, we must take care of a few things
In order to make a concrete floor, its thickness is 33 cm
1 - We will go and run the command, and if we find what we want in the list of Revit, then good and bad,
and if it is not there, we will do the following.
Elsayed M. metwally
The result after drawing from one of the projections
Elsayed M. metwally
Note 2: How do you make a dropped ceiling? Why are the tiles not provided to
you by Revit? - Focus here, the topic has
more work. - 1. We will go to the celling command and do the steps that you are accustomed to.
Until the material step, we have no problems, so look with us
- We will go and make a duplicate of one of the fallen ceiling materials, but let it be what we
were working on
Elsayed M. metwally
When we make a copy and rename it, we will go to the pattern surface part
We click on it to create a new pattern of our own
Elsayed M. metwally
Note when you draw the walls:
(The bottom line is that if you make a wall with a different size, it will not differ much from the explanation we
explained in the floors)
- Once you do the wall command and before you draw anything, you must look at the following
IMPORT DIALOG
Elsayed M. metwally
IMPORTANT NOTES
setting systemÿ It is very simple
that any project you work on will be based primarily on the template on which the project is
placed. For example, when
you open an electrical template and come and want to draw a ductwork, you will find that while you
are making some fittings, it will tell you that it is wrong and you do not know the reason, but if you
focus a little You will find that this electrical temple does not support the fittings of the ducts that
you want to make, but if it is opened, it will be filled again, such as a mechanical fitting or a temp system.
You will find that you can draw these fittings without any problems
UNITS
Elsayed M. metwally
F
ADD:
If you are working on a project that contains units that you do not like, you can display other
units as units alternates in this way.
1-You will specify
the dimension. 2-You will go to type
edit. 3-You can make a duplicate or you can do it according to your mood.
ORGIN
The Revit has 3 types of origins that we can modify
M? This is what you want
1- Open graphic visibility. 2- Leave
the list filter on Architecture. 3- Scroll until you find
the site and expand it.
Let's see what their story is and how it turns out!
Elsayed M. metwally
Don't worry if you even moved these points and created a file link and left the place auto
origin to origin Revit will place the link in the same place it is specified (the reason is that the origin is
specified internally in Revit, regardless of whether you move it to two sides (
The benefit of this speech is that you know the location of the origin, so if there is a file that is not correct and
you want to move it to the correct place, you will know how to move it and place it exactly on the origin.
Conclusion:
You do not have to move the origin point, but it is important to know where it is located, so that if there is any file that you
want to move and put there, you will know where you will send it to someone.
CREATE NEW MATERIALS

If our project needs types of materials that are not available and we want to create them
When the browser material opens, we will create a new material in it using these steps

This is the place where your project

will be saved. It is best to create a folder

for the project, and when you first open

the program, go and make a link to this

place so that it will be saved there.

There is a very important part here that we must take

into consideration, which is if, for example, I go to a

place and this place is working on a certain template and

I have to work on it, then I will go and include it in

my program, so when I come to work on a new project and

they ask me, “What template do you want to start with?”

I will choose from the list the template of the

company. They want me to work on it, and I will do it from h

the design of the project with it.
