One of the smaller windows from the model. Dashed lines represent how it opens Changing the door swing to 180 degrees rather than 90 degrees by editing type. | Once the walls are in place, adding enclosures such as doors and windows to the building is necessary. Revit has a few doors and windows available, however, in order to get a specific style of door or window I had to load the family into my project. When downloading Revit, libraries full of families came with it that provided me with the doors and windows that I needed for the project. If that was not the case and certainly wasn't when adding furniture, Revit City, online was able to give me the families that I needed. Adding the doors and windows into Revit was quite simple as it would automatically snap into place in the wall and also because all the parts were already there. There was no need to add glazing and frames like in Micro Station. The door swing on the plans that were given to us required that the door was to open 180 degrees rather than 90, which is the default. To change this, all I had to do was to double click on the door which took me into edit mode. Change to reference level, which gave me a view from the top of the door and drag the door swing around to 180 degrees. Because the doors that I used for the exterior facade are all part of a family, doing this for one changed the swing on all of them. |
