I published a post introducing you to Jon's blog a few weeks ago. I mentioned that there were some real quality posts on his blog, and I meant it! So much so, that I felt it necessary to re-post one of Jon's tutorials on a topic that comes up often: custom curtainwall mullions. Yes, that's right, you CAN create custom profiles for your mullions... You aren't just stuck with the OOTB profiles...

Entire Revit 2015 Detail Component Library - The Visual Guide

This is pretty cool! Lawrence, over at the Autodesk Revit Structure blog published a 30 page PDF that illustrate every detail component in Revit. The guide is structured similar to the divisions and folder layouts as the default Autodesk Detail library. If you use detail components (and I am sure you do) then this PDF will definitely interest you.
Example page from the PDF... |

"New" Blog - Curtainwall BIM
Labels:

Last week I posted a tutorial about creating butt glazing in Revit. Well, a wonderful reader named Jon sent me an insanely detailed email. Jon is a BIM manager at a curtwainwall manufacturing company... Using Revit for shop drawings! COOL!
Anyways, Jon sent me a great detailed email about some of the "real-world" issues that my curtain wall had. For example: "In the real world, the horizontal captured mullion butts against the vertical, but the cap (the extruded element that is in front of the glass) extends to the grid line"...
As much as I appreciated Jon's detail it was a little TOO detailed for me. But, if you are interested in how to make curtainwalls that can basically be fabricated directly out of Revit (and shop drawings in Revit) then check out Jon's blog. He does not have a million posts but they are high quality tutorials specific to curtainwall / storefronts.
Cheers Jon!!
