Project : Digital representation of the “real world”
physical objects Not every component needs to be modeled
Details Bridges the gap between design and reality How a design should be built – design intent Show how materials should interconnect
Over-detailing : Balancing Act The method that gets the job you get paid for,
done in the shortest time frame is the right one.
Model Content : Overview

Revit : Building Elements
Component Elements
( Everything else )•Doors
•Windows•Furniture•Specialties
Host Elements( Built-In Place Construction )
•Floors•Walls•Roofs
•Ceilings•Stairs•Ramps
MODEL ELEMENTS
Annotation Elements
( 2D components visible on one view )
•Dimensions•Text Notes
•Loaded tags•Symbols
Datum Elements( Non-physical items used for
context )•Levels
•Column Grids•Reference Planes
ANNOTATION ELEMENTS
( The way you see and interact things)
•Floor Plans•Ceiling Plans
•3D Views•Elevations•Sections
•Schedules
VIEW ELEMENTS

Model Content : MV’s vs. DV’s MV : Detail (Model) Views
Model geometry as the base underlay Callout from a plan, section, or elevation view Add detail components while using model
geometry Model changes…detail needs updating
DV : Drafting Views Details not directly associated with the model Conditions where the model is not needed

View Depth Parent vs. Independent
Regions Masking Region:
Obscures elements in a view 2D and 3D
Filled Region: Fill pattern : closed boundary Represents materials 2D, View-specific graphic

Tools : Annotation Elements Dimensions
Specific dimensions to that detail
Notes Text : not “intelligent” Keynotes : most to least intelligent
Element - Material - User General Notes : global
Symbols Callouts
Close-up view of a plan or elevation view
Detail annotations : added to callout view
