About Masses and Mass Families in Revit

You can create masses within a project (in-place masses) or outside a project (loadable mass families).
In-place masses are used for mass forms that are unique to a project.
Loadable mass families are typically used when you will be placing multiple instances of the mass in a project, or when you will use mass families in multiple projects.
To create in-place masses and loadable mass families, use the conceptual design environment.

 When creating a mass family, you can do the following:
  • Nest other mass families into the mass family that you are creating.
  • Import geometry from other applications into a mass family.
In a project, you can do the following:
  • Place one or more instances of a mass family.
  • Create an in-place mass.
  • Join a mass instance to other mass instances to eliminate overlap. As a result, their gross volume and gross floor area values adjust accordingly.
  • Create a schedule that shows the gross volume, gross floor area, and gross surface area of a mass.
  • Place mass instances in worksets, assign them to phases, and add them to design options.

How to Create an Ordinate Linear Dimension Style in Revit

Image
To add an ordinate dimension for a linear dimension style, you need to edit the Dimension String type parameter. Create a new ordinate linear dimension style so that any continuous dimensions in the project are not affected when you edit the parameter. Click Annotate tab Dimension panel   (Aligned) or   (Linear). Click Modify | Place Dimensions tab Properties panel  (Type Properties). In the Type Properties dialog, click Duplicate. In the Name dialog, enter a name for the dimension, and click OK. In the Type Properties dialog, for Dimension String Type, select Ordinate. For Ordinate Dimension Settings, click Edit. In the Ordinate Dimension Settings dialog, specify settings for the ordinate dimension. Setting Description Text Orientation Specify where to align the dimension text, with the witness line or the dimension line. This setting is disabled when the Read Convention parameter is Horizontal. Text Position Specify the text position, at the end of the witness line or

How to Create a Toposurface in Revit

Image
Create a toposurface by placing points, by using imported 3D contour data, or by using a points file. Open a 3D view or a site plan view. Click Massing & Site tab Model Site panel  (Toposurface). To create the toposurface by placing points By default, the Place Point tool on the ribbon is active. On the Options Bar, set a value for Elevation. The points and their elevations are used to create the surface. Next to the Elevation text box, select one of the following: Absolute Elevation . Points display at the specified elevation (from the Project Base Point). You can place points anywhere in the active drawing area. Relative to Surface . Allows you to edit an existing toposurface by placing points on it at the elevation you specify. To use this option effectively, you may want to work in a shaded 3D view. Click in the drawing area to place points. If needed, change the elevation on the Options Bar as you place additional points. To use imported 3D contour data
