ASSIGNMENT 2: [Revit]

Here’s that example that I promised you! The second assignment is a focus on process and presentation of that process. This is less about mad rendering skills and more about steps and sequence. We want this board to be a bit more ‘tech-render’-ish and to demonstrate more focus on your custom panelization. <—-is that spelled right? It looks weird.

Have fun!

REVIT TUTORIAL [CONCEPTUAL MASSING SERIES: #2]: This tutorial shows you how to develop a model using the conceptual mass interface within Revit. The tutorial covers lofting 2D splines into 3D geometry, surface division, and the creation of a custom panel system that is adaptive and can morph to a specified grid pattern.
