REVIT LT 2021 Stud Wall Framing and Material Take-Offs

Hello!

 

I've wasted many hours watching youtube videos on different methods of creating stud walls. Once I found out I could download an extension for framing, I read that Revit LT doesn't support extensions. Is this true? Is there any way I can do a full framing plan and material take-off for things like wall framing lumber, drywall, insulation, etc.? I feel so clueless! Thanks in advance!

REX has gone away completely for all of us.  

 

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to the Timber Framing Extension which is no longer available. But with regards to modeling compound layered walls, you should be able to do that natively -- as well as MTOs.

Thank you! Sorry if I don't understand what you've said lol.

 

As far as Revit LT goes, there isn't a systems tab to do the framing. If my wall looks something like: 5/8" siding, air infiltration barrier, 1/2" plywood sheathing, 3 1/2" lumber, vapor retarder, 1/2" gyp., how would I get my material takeoff/schedule for the total lumber needed for the framing? Can Revit calculate the exact amount or do we have to come up with a formula?

Yes; native Revit can do Material Takeoff Schedules.  

 

Tell me; what video are you watching?

Do you have an example of how to get the material takeoff schedule to calculate the amounts?? I've watched several from Balkan Architect but most of them were to just model the framing and not do actual takeoffs. The only video I thought came close to what i'm looking for is called "Revit Tutorials Simple Material and Quantity Takeoff" by  Revitian, but by following the video my studs had a decimal value. I'm not sure how accurate this formula is.

This is what I'm working with. No foundation needed, and the roof trusses will be Pre-Engineered.

That's a very good video. How is it not applicable?  I was going to show you basically the same thing.  That's not what you are after?   

 

..I can see one  problem. You should make your stud material unique.  Create a new Material call Studs, or whatever, and assign it to your 3 1/2" stud layer -- and then base your Schedule Calculations on that "Stud" Material.  

 

...Is this the video you were referring to?

Thank you, I just updated to use your suggestion. Yes, that's the video, I don't know how accurate the it is for what I need. The whole point of me doing this for the client is to get a quick and precise estimate on the materials needed, but it seems like it would be faster for them to do their normal manual calculations. I don't see how this accounts for framing around windows and doors, top/bottom plates, etc. Also, do you know why I have a decimal for the studs in the wall schedule?

@kimFZCG2 We are looking at http://www.aga-cad.com/products/bim-solutions/wood-framing-professional-suite as a framing model solution, but don't have much experience with it yet.
