Alto Revit!
October 2nd 2011 - News Home
Alto: Although the word Alto is associated with music, it is Spanish for Tall. The Latin word Altus means high or deep.
 
 
 
 
This is the article I originally posted at ClubRevit.com. in Sept. 19, 2011.
 
After the two 3Dconnexion reviews I wrote a while back, I decided to put the SpacePilot PRO (SPP) to another test in my latest ambitious project, the Alto Saxophone. This time, I wanted to find out how it would fare in a family with multitudes of complex shapes. So for the benefit of Revit 2012 users, here is my latest update on this amazing 3D device...and the alto saxophone!
 
Please note that Autodesk just recently supported 3Ddevices from 3Dconnexion with the 2012 release of their products. They will not work in the older versions of Revit.
 
This project took me three weekends to complete. This translates to five working days if I had to do it in a regular office environment. Before I got started, I researched everything there is to know about the alto saxophone, including its construction and the famous musicians who used it. I’ve always been intrigued by its breathtaking complex shape. And so for my birthday last month, I bought myself an alto saxophone! My intentions were to learn how to play it and create a Revit saxophone family. After several practice sessions, I took the neck attachment piece and began to model it. This part is called the Crook and it is the bent piece of metal where the mouthpiece is attached to. The crook alone is a fairly complex shape because of the Octave assembly. It took me about a couple of hours to finish the general shape. Later on, I went back to it after finding out a solution on how to model the swooping metal piece around the base. Figure 1 shows the final modeled part in Realistic visual style.

3Dconnexion Products
July 26th 2011 - News Home
This is the article I posted at clubrevit.com entitled: "3Dconnexion Invasion of Planet Revit"
It has been two months now since I started using 3Dconnexion's SpacePilot PRO. Without a doubt, 3D navigation devices are definitely here to stay.

The way I use Revit has completely changed. I've incorporated the SpacePilot PRO and its powerful programmable buttons in my daily work. I am now automatically reaching for it with my left hand. I've also learned how to configure the buttons to my advantage. You'll find out all about this at the end of this article with my follow-up review of the SpacePilot PRO.

I'm happy to tell you that I've gotten a tremendous amount of good feedback from readers saying how helpful my article was. And just as I had anticipated, I've gotten inquiries about 3Dconnexion's other models. Well, after communicating with 3Dconnexion, they sent me the rest of their product line. And so guys, here's the lowdown on the SpaceExplorer, SpaceNavigator and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks...

Before I start, let me make a few things clear:

1. A 3D navigation device is not replacement for a regular mouse
2. All 3Dconnexion devices are supported in the current 2012 Revit release (Architecture, Structure, and MEP). They will not work in the old versions of Revit.
3. A 3D navigation device is also referred to as 3D mouse (plural: mice), 3D device or 3D controller
4. I am not connected with 3Dconnexion. I wasn't asked to write this review nor was I compensated for it.

Revit 2012 and the SpacePilot PRO
June 16th 2011 - News Home
For two weeks, I tested this device in all possible Revit scenarios and I'd like to share with you my experience with it. I originally posted this article at clubrevit.com.
 
(Disclaimer: I am in no way connected to 3Dconnexion. I wasn't asked to write this review nor was I compensated for it.)
 
Will Revit users fly with this device?
 
The SpacePilot™ PRO _ a product review by Michael Anonuevo
 
One of the new features of Revit Architecture 2012 is its support for 3Dconnexion devices. As a Revit beta tester, I was aware of this feature before this version was released. However, prior commitments prevented me from taking a look into it until last month. Anyway, here are my findings:

The first thing I did was visit 3Dconnexion's website to learn about their products. In the internet, I read a lot of articles and reviews concerning their product line. Apparently, they have been around since 2001. Their products are popular in the manufacturing industry as navigation tools in CAD/CAM modeling and simulation applications. In the film industry, they are used for navigation and visualization with popular animation software such as Maya, Alias, Blender, etc. Although Autodesk is officially supporting 3Dconnexion's products, I couldn't find any information on how they are being used in Revit. A lot of product reviews by design engineers have affirmed their usefulness though. Nonetheless, I was a little bit skeptical. The regular mouse, after all, does a good job as a navigation tool in Revit. My thought then was to get hold of a unit and test it.

Not knowing anything about 3Dconnexion's navigation devices, I contacted them. I sent an email with my credentials and asked if I could evaluate and review their SpaceNavigator. Within a few days, I was contacted and informed that the company was sending me the SpacePilot PRO. This is 3Dconnexion's top of the line model.

For Revit Architecture 2012 users, this article is about my experience with the SpacePilot PRO in the two weeks that I put it to various tests. Aside from Revit, I also tested the device with Autodesk Inventor 2011, Photoshop CS5, and Google Earth. I've included a few photos and video clips to help you make a decision if you're contemplating on buying one. I will probably write a follow-up article after I use the device extensively for a few months.

Unpacking the Box

I was surprised when I received the SpacePilot PRO. The package was contained in a 15" x 13" x 7" carton mailing box! I'm like, how big could this mouse be? Well, after taking it out of its box, it was bigger than what I thought it would be! Take a look (see fig. 1):

LDC Families Available from Revitcity.com
June 5th 2011 - Everything Revit
Before I launched this website, I modeled a whole bunch of classic furniture designed by famous architects. Back in 2009, I needed challenging families to practice Revit with and so I chose this classic furniture category. This spawned the series of highly detailed Revit families that led to the creation of www.littledetailscount.com.
 
Anyway, Revitcity has been a part of my Revit growth. I've downloaded a lot of families from this site and used them for various projects. And so as a way of giving back, I've donated these classic furniture series as free downloads. I want to thank Mr. Charled Reed for uploading the families for me. He is one of the great moderators at Revitcity.com. Please download them to see a glimpse of my early modeling techniques. Thanks.

How to Create a Pyramid in the Massing Environment
February 25th 2011 - Everything Revit
Here is how to create a pyramid in the conceptual massing environment:
 
1. In the default 3D view of the mass family template, click on Level 1 work plane to make it active (see fig.1). In the Draw panel, select the Circumscribed Polygon tool. In the options bar, change the sides to 4.
 
Tip: This is a fast method of drawing a square from it's center.
 

Figure 1
 
2. Place and click the cursor at the intersection of the reference planes, hold down the shift key (to constraint the drawing direction) and click on a second point (see fig. 2):
  
 
Figure 2
 
3. Here's the result for a 200' x 200' square (see fig. 3):
  
 
Figure 3
 
4. Click on any of the vertical reference planes. In this case, let's click on the Center (Left/Right) reference plane to make it active (see fig. 4). Select the line tool from the Draw panel:
  
 
Figure 4
 
5. Draw a triangle (see fig. 5):
  
 
Figure 5
 
6.  Press the escape key twice to deselect the Line tool. Hold down the option key and select the square and the triangle shapes (see fig. 6):
  
 
Figure 6
 
7. Finally, click the Create Form button from the contextual menu>Form panel. You now have a pyramid (see fig. 7)!
 
 
Figure 7
 

You can also create parameters as you're sketching to control the height, angle and base dimensions. But I'll leave that up to you.

 
How to Create a Pyramid with the Family Editor
February 2nd 2011 - Everything Revit
I came across a Revitcity.com technical support forum with a discussion on how to create a pyramid. I don't usually participate in discussion threads but for this topic, I made an exception. I've seen a lot of Revit users offer various solutions on how to create a pyramid. Some of the methods they use are: using solid blends or using voids to carve the shape. Here is the solution I posted at Revitcity.com:
 
"A pyramid is a simple sweep in Revit. If you’ve used the sweep tool to generate say a baseboard, you’ll notice that when your path turns to a 90 degree angle, the corner of the sweep gets mitered. In effect, a pyramid is just a plain sweep with a triangular profile mitered at four sides on its square path."

Here is how it's done:

1. Using the solid sweep tool, create a square path in Plan view (Figure 1):


Figure 1

2. Go to the Front elevation view and draw a triangular profile (Figure 2). Click Finish.


Figure 2

That's it! Here's the 3D view (Figure 3):


Figure 3

Paul Aubin's Comments on my Families
January 21st 2011 - News Home

Paul Aubin is the well known Revit guru and author who has written several bestselling books on Revit Architecture, AutoCAD MEP and AutoCAD Architecture. In 2006, his book (Mastering Autodesk Revit Building) is what got me started on Revit.  This is what he has to say regarding the Revit families on my website:

“There are many ways to approach the task of building Revit content. And sometimes, the little details count! I cannot think of a more aptly named website for the excellent content produced by its founder Mr. Anonuevo. Great care is taken in crafting the three-dimensional details and applying very realistic and believable materials. Furthermore, Mr. Anonuevo clearly understands that good Revit content is not just about 3D. He includes 2D symbolic line representations for the plan views to simplify and help with performance.

I got a direct look at his drum set. Now I grant you, this is a big Family file weighing in at 12M. But doing a quick test with about 25 copies, the file only grew to 18M. This is because there are few parameters and formulas in the file. So in 2D views, it performs quite well. And really, when would you need 25 drum sets in a single file anyhow… Now your results might vary if using his casino furniture. There it would be more likely to have many copies, but again Mr. Anonuevo takes advantage of symbolic lines in 2D views and keeps parameters to a minimum. What I like most about his efforts is the amazingly high quality renderings he has been able to achieve. There is a degree of realism here that I have not seen in other Revit content and projects. Well done! Overall I would say that you are in the market for casino gaming content or musical instruments, begin your search with www.littledetailscount.com.

My Little Adventure at AU 2011
January 6th 2011 - LDC Blogs
For  Autodesk enthusiasts, the annual Autodesk University Conference and Exhibition is the place to be for topnotch training, networking and keeping up with the latest in design technology. It is the largest gathering of Autodesk design professionals worldwide. Although I was geared up to attend, my plan didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be. Here's the story:

I've almost forgotten about this conference till Holman's of Nevada emailed me a reminder three weeks before the conference. Holman's is the premier  Autodesk reseller in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I live.  Having purchased my Revit license and subscription from them, I was provided me with a free one day all-inclusive pass for Tuesday's events (Nov. 30, 2010).

Unfortunately, I was a little bit late in registering. Most of the Revit classes I wanted to attend were filled up. I ended up choosing classes in Alias Sketch, Alias Design and Inventor. In case you didn't know, Autodesk offered free Certification exams this year. They also offered free online Assessment test so you can evaluate your knowledge of Revit. With the assessment test in mind, I spent the next few weeks reviewing Revit. Four days before the event, I took the Assessment test and only made a couple of mistakes out of 30 questions. Inspired, I spent the next three days studying Revit intently. My original plan was to attend the classes and take the Certification exams during the break periods. Come November 30, the first item on my schedule was the Welcome Address and General Session Keynote. At the last minute, I decided to skip it so I can take the Certification exams. In short, after passing the Associate exam, I immediately took the Professional exam and passed it too! As we all know, the Autodesk Certification is the only way we can validate our knowledge and skills in Revit. Here are the logos I can now use with my business cards, resumes and letterheads:


It was almost 11:00 am when I got out of the testing room. I had enough time to make it to my 11:30 class. This is when I deviated from my plan and decided to just go home instead. On my way home, I bought a 6-pack of beer and celebrated the rest of the day!

AUGI Breakfast: December 2, 2010

As a member of AUGI Volunteer group, I got invited to the 2010 AUGI Volunteer Breakfast held at the Tradewinds room at Mandalay Bay Hotel. This is the another AU event that I was looking forward to. It was my chance to meet the people behind AUGI organization and AUGI website.

Most Challenging Revit Family So Far
April 15th 2010 - Everything Revit
From the hundreds of small objects I've modeled, the Pasta Ladle is probably the most difficult. This lowly kitchen untensil has complex shapes that will keep you busy if you want to give it a try. The handle has a curved top shape and a curved side profile. The scoop itself has a kind of dome shape with round end prongs protruding upward and outward. The scoop morphs into another curved shape that connects to the handle.
I'm still not happy with the outcome although it's close enough. I will throw it for free with the Aluminum Colander.

Another Challenging Revit Family
April 14th 2010 - Everything Revit
Included in our Kitchen-Dining accessories Part-2 is a manual gear-driven Can Opener. At first glance, its shape appears to be overly complex for Revit to handle. However, what makes it look complicated is seeing it as a single unit. If you disassemble the can opener's parts and lay it out in front of you, each part is really not that complicated to model. For this kitchen accessory, separate families were created without disassembling the unit (see exploded view below). Then from within each family, the parts were rotated just as they would appear in the final layout of the model. Here are images of the assembled and nested parts that make up this handy kitchen utensil:

Parametric Carrel Family
March 29th 2010 - Everything Revit

Figure-1

A carrel (Figure-1 above) is a table or desk that is often partitioned and found in university or college libraries. In casinos, they are spread throughout the Race and Sports Book area and used for private betting.

The LDC carrel family shown in Figure-2 is a face-based family with Materials and Finishes parameters. A chair is also nested within this family.
 

Figure-2

In a project, you can change the carrel’s parameters through its Instance Properties as shown in Figure-3:


Figure-3

To change the material parameter of the nested chair, select the family and click Edit Family. This takes you to the Family Editor. Go to Create tab and Family Properties panel then click Types to change the values in the Materials and Finishes column. After that, reload the family back into the project.

Carrels_Rail-Based_R2010.rvt (Figure-4)

As the name implies, this family was created as a railing instead of a line based family. The railing tool has more flexibility than line based families as it allows you to draw curves using arcs. The idea is to substitute furniture parts for railing parts. In this case, the carrel sides and dividers were used as posts while the desktops and front panels, created as a profile, were used as railings. This method works particularly well in grandstand or theater seating where curved configurations are required.
Copy and paste the railing from the Carrels_Rail_Based_R2010.rvt file into your project to get this:
 
Please click to enlarge.

Figure-4
 
Note: When you copy then paste the Carrels_Rail-Based family by Paste Aligned method, the desktop and front panel finish defaults to gray color. This can be changed in the Edit Rail Structure dialog box (see Figure-11). However, if you use the keyboard shortcuts (control-c and control-v), the desktop and front panel comes in with the correct material.

Software, Books and Computers
February 17th 2010 - Credits
DesignWorkshop

I credit my first exposure to 3D modeling to DesignWorkshop. Back in 1995, I was self employed and on the Macintosh computer platform using a 2D software called PowerCADD. To supplement my drawings with 3D models, I downloaded a trial copy of DesignWorkshop. In a matter of days, I was producing 3D models of my projects. I then went on to work for Douglas Teiger of Teiger Architects in Santa Monica, CA where I got to use DesignWorkshop extensively. Here’s a couple of images that are still posted at Artifice’s Gallery page:
 

1997 - 3D massing model of a movie theater (Arvada, Colorado) created for Behr-Browers Architects, Westlake Village, CA


1998 - Retail store (Main Street, Venice Beach, California) created for Teiger Architects, Santa Monica, CA

As you can see from these two images above, I have been incorporating a lot of details to my models already which made them stand out and look realistic.

Sketchup

My exposure to this software came from a colleague who contracted me to do massing studies for a proposed casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. With the knowledge I gained from DesignWorkshop, I bought Sketchup and was up to speed in a couple of days. Aside from the illustration below, I was able to do movies, walkthroughs and other views using Sketchup.

Revit

I am proud to credit my Revit exposure and experience to Friedmutter Group, a well known Las Vegas architectural firm specializing in casinos and other hospitality projects. It is with this company that I got my firsthand experience in BIM using Revit for construction documents and details. Aside from getting the chance to work on multi-million dollar projects, I had the privilege of working with world class Revit users.

At Gensler of Nevada, I was working on BIM projects side by side with the company’s top Revit experts.

"I have heard several Revit content developers talk about level of detail in the past, but clearly Little Details Count has raised the bar. I manage thousands of Revit families and have talked with hundreds of Revit family developers. Never have I seen such detailed and complete families as the ones found here. It is great that we have finally found content that we know is 100% accurate to the specs provided".

Lonnie Cumpton
BIM9.com

"As with most things these days, there is an abundance of information that can be found on the internet. Revit has fallen into that category these days also. So finding quality Revit info and content is important. There are some excellent Revit content providers out there and clearly Little Details Count is one of them, if not the best. Though the quality of the content is fantastic, what sets this site above is their willingness to share quality info on family content construction methods as with this example titled: Carrel Family.
 
You'll want to bookmark this site, for new content purchases and learning."

Our Revit Families and Formats
February 16th 2010 - News Home
The intent of our products is to quickly “accessorize” Revit renderings, views and walkthroughs in the final stages of a project. All families can be edited and their materials and colors changed. We had chosen to create them as face-based families so they can easily be placed in any view without specifying levels. They attach easily to any surface and can be re-hosted. Here are a few products scheduled for future releases:
  • Part-2 of Kitchen and Dining Accessories
  • Part-2 of Casino Furniture and Equipment
  • Music Instruments
  • Office Accessories
  • Bar Accessories
  • Health Facilities Equipment & Accessories 
File Formats:
 
Since there is no backwards compatibility, we created our Revit families with Revit Architecture 2009. They are also available in the current version of Revit Architecture 2010. After the release of version 2011 slated by the March 2010, we are no longer going to support version 2009.
