The Smith House Video
Hello again, I finished the Smith House and made a video using the
Drawings and Stills that I rendered in Revit. I hope you enjoy.

Linking the Smith House Site Cad File into Revit: Part One
Fig. 1 |
The first step is to import a image file of the Smith House Site Plan into a cad
file, which I've named Smith House Site Plan. I scale the image to the proper size. ( Fig 2).and rotate the image to True North, so that when I link the site file into Revit the site is at True North (Fig. 3)
Fig. 2 |
With the lines joined I am going to assume that because the Smith House sits next to Long Island Sound that the first contour line is going to be at sea level. So starting with 0' I'm going to raise each contour line 1' until the last contour line which sits at 33'. (Fig. 5) is what the site looks like from the front view.
Fig. 3 |
First, I change the name of Level One to Sea Level. Then opening up an elevation view and delete Level 2. After that I delete any view in the Properties Palette that I don't need in a site file such as the ceiling plans or an elevation. (Don't worry you can always create a new view if you need one.) Then I am going to save the file as a Template called Master Site Template.

Now we are almost ready to Link the file into Revit. I open the Site View and go to the Properties Palette. I change the Orientation to True North then scroll down to the View Range.
The Cut Plane is where the view will cut into geometry, which is typical at 4' in the floor plan views. The Site view it is set by default to 200' which is again fine for this particular project.
The Bottom Plane is the very lowest level of the view range. and is set by default to Level Below. then I click apply.

Color: Preserve
Layers: All
Import units: feet
Positioning: Auto Origin to Origin, In this case I will chose Origin to Origin. because I positioned the site in cad to 0,0
Place at: Sea Level
Note: Make sure you don't click the current view ( Which Is to the Left) because If you do, you wont be able to create a toposurface later on. Click OK and the cad file is linked into the Revit File.(Fig. 8) In part two I will link the Smith House Project file into the new site File and Publish the coordinates back to the project file.

Smith House Post Three: Fire Place Extrusion Model
“
Smith House Model |
In plan it sits directly opposite to the entry and acts as a terminus to the entrance. The fireplace seems to have been pulled from the solid balloon structure of the private side, and the dense painted brick fireplace pushes all the way to the outside through a tight frame of mullions. Meier uses the fireplace to create a dialog for old material versus new material. The dense brick acts as a counter point to the glass and steel facade, thus creating a dialog between the two sides of the house and also ties the public side back to the private side.
The
tutorial video is how I modeled the fireplace by using a generic model family
template. Then using reference planes I created parameters that controls the extrusions
and extrusions void. So I hope the video is helpful and thank you so much for visiting my blog, and GO MAVS!!!
