Hi all, 

 

I have a project where I'm raising an existing house by 700mm and building in under. I have not tackled a project like this in revit yet. I'm wondering how I can show the model at the existing height and also show it with the revised heights? I have come up with having two models one for existing and one for the raise and extensions. Linking the existing model into the extended model to show views that way. Or having the one model and just moving the topography down 700mm and have it on new construction?

Hope this makes sense?

 Cheers

You could use design options. One option for each level.  And to make things easier to change after the fact, you could model the existing house once, then group the entire house and copy it into the second design option. This way if you need to change, modify or add to the existing house later, you only have to do it once.

Interesting question, you might work it out using a graded region.

1. draw your site in the existing phase.

2. use graded region to copy the site and lower this site 700mm

in fact now you lower the site instead of raising the house but this way you kan keep the existing house in the correct phase.

Forget moving the house, use two site models and move the site down.  That would be much easier.  Link each site in a different workset or design option.
