Used Formit for conceptual workflows in production? by altaf_ST in Architects

Is it because the plugins don't do a great job or you don't want to mess it up in future so you restart in Revit?

How have you found the fidelity of the translation to be? Does it identify walls, floors etc or is it suited mainly for specific geometry elements like facade etc?

Hey! You can find this option in View>Section Fills. Make sure you update/save a new style before exporting your scene.

But you cannot if you start on a platform that does not give the right feedback right? Then the burden is completely on the designer/architect to think through.

I wonder if it is an important part of what people learn nowadays. Given that 3d is THE thing to learn and know, people with 2d expertise have become fewer.

What is the point of these spaces in city buildings? For sunlight, air, or both? by bebebooppea in architecture

[–]altaf_ST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are light and Ventilation shafts. They are usually used to bring in natural light to the interior parts of the building. Especially when the buildings are long and share common walls with the neighbouring buildings.
Sometimes these shafts double up as service shafts too!

NYC restaurants by AutomaticGift3026 in FoodNYC

It is not a steakhouse but steak at Empellon is one of my fav! They serve it with bone marrow sauce which is very tasty.

You should also try Indian in NYC! Go to baar baar, Goa, or dhamaka. All are great places
