Hi everyone,
I’m a modular building designer specialising in utilising shipping containers for construction.
I have substantial experience with AutoCAD but am considering transitioning to Revit for my projects. I already have some experience with Revit, so I’m familiar with the basics.
One specific aspect I’m curious about is the best way to represent shipping containers in Revit. I understand that I can import them as families and then add internal and external walls as needed. However, my main concern revolves around creating cutouts in the containers for doors, windows, and other openings.
Would I need to create bespoke families for each container that includes these cutouts? Or is there a more efficient way to handle this within Revit?
Any advice or insights from those who have experience with modular container buildings in Revit would be greatly appreciated. Tips on managing variations in container designs and efficiently handling customisations would also be very helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Luke
The shipping container is just a façade. There are stud walls behind it; right? Model it the way it will built. You don't need to cut the openings in the Shipping Container Family. Do that in the Project.
Note: In-Place solid masses were used to cut the openings through container family walls. In-Place Modeling/Massing is not a capability in Revit LT. Only in full Revit. FWIW.
