Revit Tutorial – Sun Study
Nov 3rd
Revit Architecture sun studies enable you to quickly analyze sun positions and solar effects while informing and influencing design strategy. Choose a spec-ific date and time, or time frame, to generate astill or animated sun study.
Revit Tutorial – Solar Radiation
Nov 3rd
Use the Solar Radiation Technology Preview to analyze the effects of solar radiation on various surfaces of your conceptual building model. Using the Solar Radiation Technology Preview during the conceptual design stage of your project can help you make fundamental design decisions about building shape, orientation, and surfaces early on, when changes are least expensive. The technology preview uses the geometry of conceptual massing elements from Revit and calculates the amount of solar radiation hitting the surfaces of the massing shapes, based on location and weather data. It is possible to display the distribution and availability of solar radiation over an entire building or even a city block. This can be particularly useful when considering shading requirements or assessing the best areas to place photovoltaics for maximum collection.
The output of the technology preview can be saved as images in the Revit project that contains the massing elements. After these images are added to the project, you can place them on sheets and print them. You can also export the images from Revit for use in presentations or for editing in external software applications.
Revit Tutorial – Relocating Elevation
Nov 3rd
Do you need to define the true position and elevation of your project?
The most flexible way is through linked files and Shared Positioning. This requires at least two files; a site file and a building project or perhaps several building project files if applicable.
Here is a screen recording of how to relocate an elevation (z height) in Revit Architecture 2010.

If you are on a budget and value quality video training I would suggest http://www.lynda.com/. I have been in the CG industry for 20 years and I still learn something new on almost every video training series I watch. This site is inexpensive and of the highest quality…. I would highly recommend it.
