   2. Document (2) two materials videos based on the assigned list.

      • Link the assigned video into your post.
      • Set the start time for the video
      • (when you are viewing the video on YouTube – move to the start point you want then select the “share button” at the bottom – then select “start at” and then copy the link)
      • Document the timeline – see samples online
      • For category select your name and select “Watchlist > Technical”
        

   3. Keep your eye out for any Revit tutorials you find helpful – we will be documenting these later on in a similar fashion.

      • • When you document these for category select your name and “Watchlist > Revit”
        • This is not due for Thursday

   4. 3D families for your facade materials

      • • • Begin to model your families and look to assemble these in the template provided.
          • Pay attention to the proper orientation of the family
          • Assign proper materials (remember you need to import materials the first time – Revit > Manage >Transfer Project Standards
          • In the Family set “Family Category and Parameters” – this determines where it shows in the family list in the project browser – there should be no generic families in your finished project
          • Create parameters as needed so your families can be modified – but be careful that some family items will have no parameters- for example a special clip of a certain size or a spider clamp for a glass curtain wall

   5. Assemble your families in the template file

1. • 1. Rename the file using ProfessorName StudentFirst Last Name etc.
     2. Repeat the process of creating the following wall types by making a copy of a generic wall – prefix each with your Initials.   My initials are PK

        1. PK Backup Wall – 9 3/8″

           • 5/8″ GWB
           • 8″ Metal Stud Layer
           • 3/4″ Plywood Sheathing

        2. PK Backup Wall – GWB 5/8″

           • 5/8″ GWB
           • 8″ Metal Stud Layer
           • 3/4″ Plywood Sheathing

        3. PK Backup Wall – Plywood Sheathing 3/4″

           • 3/4″ Plywood Sheathing

        4. PK Backup Wall – Waterproofing 1/16″

           • 1/16″ Waterproofing
   • Consider Using the Same Method for Rigid Insulation
   • Place the various walls parallel to the metal stud frame for each layer
   • Play with the option to edit the profile of the different walls to peel them back to make a more illustrative isometric
   • To shorten the walls to match the bottom of the slab – select the top slab – select “edit boundary” then select the green check.  When prompted “Would you like walls that go up to this floor’s level to attach to its bottom?” Select “YES”
