007-Issues encountered for revit BIM

1. How to deal with problem perspectives?
The easiest way out is an replacing the camera with another one with exact location

2. How to deal with material calculations?
View>Schedules>material Takeoff > Select required Fields > Go through the Formating/Filter/Appearance/Sorting icons.
Check the calculate totals under Formating
Notes: Schedules meant for rooms and area calculation, material takeoff is quantification of materials, both can incorporate formulas turned into costing

3. How to create ramps?
Home>circulation>ramp
Notes: ramps cannot have voids in it. Walls cannot be attached to ramps in revit2010
Tips: Create slope floors then ramps.

4. How to toggle with different unit designs/groups? [ Residential design ]
Just create group with the unit defined > select it > toggle with group selection under Element

5. What is the difference with group?
Group is similar to block in CAD and component in sketchup.
When items in group changed, the rest of the duplicated group follows.
Tips: It is advisable to ungroup items before array commands. Groups result heavier file size and slower work speed.
Therefore, using linked file is lighter for huge replication in a block.
