I took a little more then a week, but I finally managed to build a working double skin panel. It still needs some refinements, but it at least works! While this may not be perfect for full on Consrtruction Documents (yet) I think this holds a lot of promise for some of the more practical things you can do with the new tools that showed up in Revit 2010.
Things I've learned (mostly from Zach):
- Points - its all about locating points! Then creating geometry.
- Workplanes!
- Build everything off the corner points.
- If not the corner points, then driving points on the default reference lines.
- Did I mention workplanes? "Set" workplane should be your next favorite tool.
- Dimensions need to be set to specific workplanes too.
- Did I mention points are important? Make the reference planes of the points visible (properties).
- Use the reference planes defined by reference lines.
- The "host point by intersection" is a handy tool.
- Did I mention points?
- Workplanes.....
