Synopsis:
Conceptually laying out apartment units in housing projects require plenty of setup time in Revit and is a tedious process. This presentation demonstrates how Dynamo and Revit help designers navigate and plan apartment units’ layout. We will learn how to take sketch-like Revit elements of a design concept and generate a suitable apartment plan layout. We will define parametric relationships between these elements like building shape, units types, sizes, mix area limit, setbacks, etc.
