Good use of parts &amp; material tag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>About 1 hour in it shows using elements as parts to describe assembly buildup with material tags. I think you need to lock views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iFFJ39CcmOE\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elevations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Revit pure has a good video on enhancing Elevations, see the video below. I must admit I wasn&#8217;t aware of the Silhouette feature but its good. The others I have been aware of but I like their take on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Revit Tutorial - How to Make Great Elevations\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3kfBpn2kSLw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I also used Material tags, which I don&#8217;t ever recollect using before and you have to access them through the annotation tab and they are setup for the material description, that you usually have to go and fill in (most of the ones I was using were blank). Good for existing elevations just pointing out main external finishes.

I like this tutorial. I&#8217;d use GIMP instead of PhotoShop but otherwise a nice process. This follows on regarding bringing image into sheet as background from the top video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Revit Tutorial - Align Revit Views with Photographs\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C3BzsCk9-WU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A good setup for Before\/After with original photo and one with model showing alterations.

Revit 2016 and above. You can do a similar thing with Section box in earlier versions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Revit Tutorial - 3D Section Boxes Using Scope Boxes in Revit\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m2_GV-yvMfM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roading on topo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something I need to do to add roads to topo surface.
