Chapter 1 • The Revit World

as illustrated in Figure 1.27. When the alignment line appears, you can

pick another point along the path. When you pick the second point, the

walls are mirrored and joined with the south wall (see Figure 1.27).

FIGURE 1.27 Mirroring these walls will involve first, picking the midpoint

of the vertical wall, then second, picking a horizontal point along the plane.

Now that you have some experience mirroring items, it is time to start adding

components to your model by utilizing the items that you placed earlier. If you

having trouble following the process, retry these ﬁ rst few procedures. Rome was

not built in a day. (Well, perhaps if they had Revit, it would have sped things up!)

You want your ﬁ rst few walls to look like Figure 1.28.

FIGURE 1.28 Your building should look like this illustration.

Building on Existing Geometry

Now that you have some geometry to work with and you have some objects placed

in your model, Revit starts to come alive. The beneﬁ ts of using building information
