hello,i'm new comer in revit, so i'm not enough knowledge about this software
i have an assignment in power plants and now, there are 2d file that should be created the 3d modelling.
First i create the contour using Toposurface, yes, now i have had the 3d of the site. Next i want to create the component around the site like the river, sidewalk and so on. How can i create it?
Next, there are a penstock, i don't know the categorize of this component, maybe it likes a pipe with big diameter, so how can i create the custom pipe (penstock) in revit? i have tried to create the pipe by using create New Family, but i don't know the template that should be chosen so, I created it in 'Metric Generic Model line based'. Then, i loaded it in the project but it doesn't work correctly, i cannot determine the start point and the end point likes the existing pipe. Next, i try to create by duplicating the existing pipe. In my properties, it is only one type of pipe (default) so i duplicated it and tried to edit the properties depends on my requirements. But when i try to create it in the plan view, the pipe does not look changing, the diameter looks the same with the default one although i have selected the bigger ones. So, are there any suggestions to create the properties?
Then, i need to create a channel, before doing that i should be dig the soil until the specific elevation. For information, my site in the mountain and use the large area. So how can i make the channel?
Thanks, for the response..................
thanks for replying,,
1. I have tried it
2. for pipe, i need pipe with diameter 900 mm, but in the mechanical setting the maximum size is 600mm and i tried to create new size then choose it but the pipe size does not look changing, in properties looks the correct value, but when i see the 3d and plan view, the size is not change (not trace the 2d from autocad).---> see the attachment (pic.1)
3. I have tried also. But i want to create channel like 2d in pic.3, is it impossible to be done in revit? and how can i to do that.
oh ya, i need to topography, penstock, channel, and later i will create the power house of the project. from that condition, how can i manage the file?maybe, i can do that in one file or in different file?any suggestion?
I also attach the layout of my site in AUTOCAD in 3d view (pic.4). from the picture, there are long distance between the contour and the site components like river and sidewalk, is it influence the importing process from autocad-revit and also influence the elevation of the site?
Best Regards,
