need help in analytical model

[Anonymous]

hi every one  it's Ibrahim M.Gad  student @ last year civil Engineering 

i have a graduation project  'simple build' analysing  .. decided to do the following 

Given : autocad file consists that figure 

the way i'll use  is that : 

1-transform architectural drawings to construction   Autocad 2016 

2-modeling with Revit structure 

next steps will be : 

3- adding loads  DL . LL   ' without lateral for now ' 

4- analyze with Robot structural analysis pro 2016

actually i did steps 3 , 4  before but i get some errors with calculations ..( instability),   when i went to my Lecturer to discuss mistakes he told me that i'm the only one  who analyse with Revit , Robot .. other bodies using  sap,safe,etabs

so i'll have no advices in college  , I decided then search for a forum to be interested in what i want to do ,,, so i'm here 

can any one follow me with my project ? 

if there are .. i'll be pleased .. then i'll be ready to give other advises  in what i learned 

note : i learned Revit , Robot  with my self .. it's not friendly here in my country  like sap,safe ..  and i know autodesk apps are the best 



my first Qust : 
how to correctly arrange colours in analytical model @ nodes 

[erik_snell]

Colors are set via Object Styles on the Manage tab. They can also be overriden in any view using Visibility/Graphic Overrides.

thanks for attention and speed of response 

but colors aren't my problem sir .. my question was about how to arrange them in the the different nodes  .. don't know if it has any effect in analysing 

so , let me show you 

which one is correct in connection ? 

[erik_snell · Accepted solution]

In this case the colors are representing the start (green) and end (red) of the beam. Both are perfectly acceptable. The reason coloring is added to the start/end of a linear analytical element is that many properties refer to this start or end. The coloring gives an at a glance undertanding of which end the property change will effect.

The color, weight and pattern can all be changed in Object Styles.
