ITERATIVE MODELING


34/41

ITERATIVE MODELING3ds Max Mesh Modeling Revit BIM

Pros:

Speed: No link update necessary, changes can be modeled and even rendeinteractively.

Versatility: Sometimes its useful (liberating?) to be able to model iterationsoutside BIM rules.

Cons:

Limited use: Better results for simple modifications of existing elements, itrequires practice and creativity to optimize complex modeling tasks.

Doesn't update back to Revit, for reference can be imported in Revit as asolids (STL).

ITERATIVE MODELING


35/41

ITERATIVE MODELINGModifiers

Mesh edits appear stacked as layers ofmodifications on each object.

Several objects can share the same modifier.

Renaming modifiers names is important todocument their function.

Case Study: Bridge modifications with EditMesh modifier

ITERATIVE MODELING


36/41

ITERATIVE MODELINGDesign options in 3ds Max

Duplicating Revit linked objects to createoptions.

Creating unlinked model options

Using parametric movement to switchbetween options

Case Study: Creating a Faade DesignOption

ITERATIVE MODELINGModeling & Interactive Rendering

Modeling with activeShade interactiverendering.

Adding lighting and materials interaction withdesign changes.

Use of Parametric Mesh tools: Mesh Select andFace Extrude

Case Study: Adding sunshades
