On last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live I broke down how my team and I manage large, complex, and phased scenes in Revit & Twinmotion 2020 to create construction logistics/phasing plans, aerial views, and more...
There are a lot of aspects to this session for Revit:
- Model setup of super large scenes (acres upon acres of land).
- Use of Container models using the design teams files.
- Managing multiple phases, fencing, and more...
Then, there are all the lessons learned when using Twinmotion 2020 with these large scenes, such as:
- Export/Import Tips for less crashes.
- Managing Phases/Sequencing, etc...
- More efficient and stable model refreshes on large scenes
- Best trees and material settings for aerial views.
- Best lighting settings for aerial views...
Follow along as I walked through two different projects with their own unique approaches to creating large site models in Revit and managing how those scenes are built in Twinmotion.
Also, it's worth watching this episode to see how nervous I was while running two instances of Twinmotion 2020, two instances of Revit, and streaming live to YouTube from a 2K monitor... Talk about risky!
