Module 4 - Design Project Brief: Lights, Camera, Render!

Overview

In this assignment you’ll create views of your proposed design for a vacation to share your design ideas.  You’ll create:

  • annotated plan views with dimensions and model element tags
  • schedule views summarizing model element information in a tabular form
  • exterior and interior camera views using Revit’s visual styles as well as rendered versions of those views

The focus of this assignment isn’t on creating additional model elements – rather, the focus is on refining your existing building model to create interesting and inviting views that help explain your design ideas and sell the design concept.
