wall insulation detail
Hello every one,
I'm working as an architect in an Oil and gas company, our job is to outfit the interior for off-shore accommodation platforms, our company is planning to shift to revit in a couple of months.
I am new to Revit and I have been searching for tutorials regarding 3D wall insulations for almost 2 weeks now, so far I haven't got any luck. if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
I have attached a Photo & a PDF regarding my questions.
thanks & regards,
JP
1. Add the insulation as a layer in the Wall Properties>Edit Type>Structure>Edit>Add Material>Rigid Insulation, etc.
2. Materials --Revit Materials have metadata that can be edited inside the Material Editor. Manage Tab>Materials
3. Because the insulation is contained in a Wall layer, openings such as doors and windows will cut it.
If you need ONLY the insulation, create a new Wall type that has only insulation Material.
JP..... I'm relatively new to revit also, about 1 year steady. My advice may not be the best solution, but this is what I would try if I were in your shoes...I would look at your insulation based on it's application. Where it's wrapped around a column, you'll have to place it there in a different manner than where it is attached to a wall.
1. In some cases, you can add your "layer" of insulation by creating an extrusion. (at the columns)
2. In some cases you could create it as a sweep.
3. You could also modify the existing wall by adding the layer of insulation to it. That would probably be the best way to cover 90% of your needs. This way, it would behave as a part of the wall when you place a window.
When you add the insulation as a layer to the wall, you will have an opportunity to assign properties, but you may still need to ad the words to your details.... I hadn't dealt with that yet.
