Autodesk Revit Tutorials: 02 Making Walls

[nickthedrummer85]

In the videos. You have a slightly green tinted toolbar, which has height, location line, etc. I am running revit 2012. When I attempt to add a wall, where can I access this toolbar so that I can adjust the height of the wall.

[lolflakes]

I can import a template in options but where can I find a template?

[mickstarify]

@lolflakes look at the first tutorial at about 28 seconds in

[lolflakes]

@mickstarify I think I have to download a template. Do you know where I can download any? I have red and many people have the same problem that they have Revit 2012 without template =(

[lolflakes]

Hi. I have a question. I see you have many walls to selcet between... I have only three walls to choose and none of them are inside walls :(

[mickstarify]

@lolflakes When you first made the project, as a template did you choose the Default one or the construction one? To test, make a new one (making sure its set to default/defaultUS) and then see your wall selection. I haven't added anything so its alll from a default revit 2011 installation

[lolflakes]

@mickstarify When I click "new" I only have the three walls to select between. When I open the "Example house" there is much more to pick :S

[mickstarify]

@lolflakes Yeah but what template are you using when you make a new project

[lolflakes]

@mickstarify None I think? When I click new a window appear and asks about "Which syste of measurment.." Imperial or Metric... I pick and then the project starts....

for the second wall, added on the '01 lower level', i only have a 'height' option, not a depth option?

I am also just using a generic concrete 300mm wall because retaining is not an option?

Thanks!

[mickstarify]

@nessbess100 Well i guess you could do it from 00 foundation with 01 lower as height, but you should probably try it with the retaining wall if you can find it

[nessbess100]

@mickstarify I worked out how to change it to depth. But I can't work out how to get a foundation wall or retaining wall. My library is no where near as big as yours. It might have something to do with the fact that I downloaded an Australian template & family library (from the autodesk site)?

[mickstarify]

@nessbess100 Well i just got the default library for 2011

Hi, First i wanna thank you for you basic tutorials i learnt much. second my english is bad. The third was a question every time i draw the first wall ''basic wall retaining concrete 300 mm''--------------------------­------------------------------­---------- i get the message Warning: None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan: 0 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings.

can you help me plz..

[mickstarify]

@gvdw100 well are you on 00 Foundation view?

[mickstarify]

@gvdw100 i doubt thats it, its probably something obvious that you forgot, or are doing wrong as it doesnt sound a like a bug, if you cant work it out, maybe try starting again and see if the problems still there, also googles your friend

[gvdw100]

@mickstarify I Have 2010 Now and i build the house 2012 sucks but thanks for the tutorials!

[idhince]

@mickstarify I had the same problem. Turns out I was on 'Ceiling Plans' not 'Floor Plans' view. Sigh.
