Hi, I'm studying Building Services Engineering at University and as part of my project I wanted to create a building model on Revit.
I have managed to self teach myself the basics, which was a challenge in its own right, but very rewarding at the same time.
I am now stuck on 3 parts of my building:
1 - Creating a flat roof
2 - Spiral Staircase
3 - MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! creating the external finish to look like glass like the attached file.
My major concern is time, I only have 1 week to submit the final model, could someone please do this for me if I email them my project separately.
This would be a massive help as I'm struggling right now!!!!
Thank You.

1. Create a flat roof like a normal roof, but be sure that each line is set NOT to define pitch. No pitch=flat roof. Note, though that it will need SOME amount of pitch when built, though this could be tapered insulation and you can create a new roof type with a variable portion on top so you can adjust the pitch on it, but the underside (presumably metal deck) will be flat.
2. There is a family in the download section. I am not sure you can make a spiral staircase wiht the stair tool. You can make a circular staircase, but not a spiral staircase. The stair tool is limited to 360 degrees, meaning you can;t overlap.
3. As for the materials, it is as simple as applying the right material (glass) to the wall. I would imagine you used a curtain wall, in which case it should be glass already adn you can adjust the transparency and properties in the materials dialog.
As for doing it FOR you,......"give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life"
It shouldn;t take long for you to do this. good luck!
