I think the answer lies in how easier it is to use other 3D modeling software for visualization and generating organic forms. Why is this? Are Revit’s conceptual massing tools not capable enough? I don’t believe so. The 3D modeling tools I often hear of are Rhino, formZ and 3ds Max. Some of my colleagues from other companies also have the same experience. Looking back, I noticed that the designers I’ve worked with prefer using third-party 3D modeling tools to help them visualize their design concepts. But with my 10 years of working with different companies who use Revit exclusively, I’ve observed that only a handful of users know how to use them. Most users are aware of Revit’s conceptual massing tools. Massing components can be loaded in a project and then turned into building components. Complex forms can be derived from the massing tools, which, when loaded in a project, can be turned into building components (see Figure 1).įigure 1. Their function is different than families created from the Family Editor. Although the main focus of this article is about creating loadable families, I’m including Revit’s Conceptual Massing Editor tools to give you an idea of how they work.
