Autodesk Revit software allows a dizzying array of sophisticated options to display or hide elements within the Building Information Model. Model managers know about Visibility Graphics and Reveal Hidden Elements, but add Phasing,View Filters, Linked Files, or Scope Boxes, and things start to get complicated.
Now, add in the possibility that you have new staff who might just ignore Worksets or decide to make a new Level because they can’t find the existing one in the Elevation, and you’re headed for a Visibility Tornado of problems!
We’ve recently add a new class to our extensive schedule of online classes titled, “Hide-and-Seek with Revit Elements using Ideate XRay and Ideate QuickSelect.”
This class is geared towards advanced and guru-level Revit users who are responsible for model management. The goals of the class are to:
- Provide a methodology to evaluate the causes of visibility problems
- Demonstrate how to solve some of the more complicated visibility conditions
- Train staff on how to solve visibility issues without help from the BIM Manager
Register for our next live online class scheduled for April 20th at 11:30 PDT. We hope you’re able to join us!
If you aren’t available for the April 20th class date, we have made a recording of an earlier presentation you can review ANY time! (Eat pizza and watch in your pajamas!)
