Most Revit users fake their site. Floors stretched into hills, toposurfaces that look fine in 3D but fall apart the moment you cut a section. Episode 136 is about doing it right.
Nehama Shechter-Baraban from Arch-Intelligence joins us to walk through how Environment for Revit (E4R) is turning Revit into an actual site engineering tool. We’ll cover her team’s philosophy on what she calls “fine grading” (because that’s really what site work demands), live workflow demos of how she approaches a real grading task in Revit, and a look at a few E4R tools the audience needs to know about.
If you’ve ever struggled to make Revit behave on a sloped site, retaining wall, or anything more nuanced than a flat slab, this one’s for you.
Sit back, relax, and lets geek out!
