Rhino.5dm:
Well, good but I think REVIT should solve their flexibility issues. Why must I be forced to buy Robot Structural Analysis to run my structural analysis or Autocad Detailing or Autodesk Inventor because I want to use REVIT? Besides, the rendering engine in REVIT is very very poor, far below the minimum industry standards. You have to either export your final models to either 3D Max or Maya or C4D for realistic rendering.

I feel any good architectural/structural modeling software should come with a superb rendering and Finite Element Analysis plugins, even if it is third-party plugins like scan & solve or Vray. At minimum, Autodesk should incorporate a good renderer e.g Mental Ray and a good structural analysis plugins e.g Ansys in their next version.

Ur very much right,thts not the only issue with the software; my major problem is with the mass modeling; revit is very poor when it comes to mass modeling, just wished the mass modeling environment was made to look like its sister auto cad.

This current project is a 4 bedroom duplex which would sit on 1 and hlf plot of land, would mke the model as simple as possible and also tech at the same time...let's get started....
Step 1: I started by creating my levels from an elevation view ( created 6 levels namely; 00foundation foot, 01 floor level, 02 entry level, 04 first floor, 05 second floor finally 06 roof top)
Step 2: marked out the portion of land required to place my model using grid line.
Step 3: placed my foundation into th project, added my entry floor and some few interior and exterior walls( I used lines to track the location of my walls, its quite easier tht way,cos I can easily click on the wall command and the use the pick line tool in creating my walls)
Step 4: loaded some windows into the model, some of the windows where actually modified to suit my taste cos some of the windows I actually needed fo this design wasn't pre loaded loaded into revit software.
Step 5: modeled some in-place architectural walls into the project( to add extra flavor).

The end results of step 1_5 is the pix below,as I progress I'll update u guys...stay tuned

civilianism: I like d final model, and it's like u did it wt revit, bt u did't break d steps down. I'm still learning revit, bt I am good wt punch pro, that is wat I use for my design.

Thanks...I didn't upload every step to avoid boring u guys with unnecessary details.
I'm cooking up some new designs which I would be up loading soonest.

Rhino.5dm:
Which software is this, REVIT?

Yes auto desk revit

EzeJustme: please am very much interested on architectural work can u help

Are you familiar with any design software??

Been busy with some other activities so wasn't able to upload the completed structure as promised earlier,...so now u have it!!!!

Front Side view...I think I'll have to reduce th height of the roof, I think 3meters would be owk.

Front elevation view...

Enough fo today, I'll be unloading pix of th finished structure moro....

Design almost completed

25% complete

Modified some few columns conflicting with my wall..

Step 2:loaded the structural columns and foundation into the project,also the building entry level....

I'll be changing my initial design of a 3bedroom bungalow to 4 blocks of flat which would sit on one and hlf plot of land...lego!!!

Stage 1: Grid pattern layout...

I'm gonna kick off with the design of a 3bedroom bungalow which would sit on a plot of land....take off images would be uploaded in just about a bit,say tuned......

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, anyway the mods could help me move it to the right forum if I'm threading on the wrong ground.....;owk I'll be designing some architectural BIM models within the next few days and would love to share my work progress with you guys as I progress. Enough of the talks and let's get to work.

Would u accept 60k,...I'm in owerri too.

Op you forgot to mention extra house rent expenses; most final year students rents should expire by the end of this year which should tally with the academic calendar all things being equal ,so if the strike isn't called off,they would have to pay an extra amount for the period of extra time spent.

anochuks08: I later got one for 300k actually. Its a 1999 Nissan Maxima. Full option. Just that the airbag is deployed, besides that, no other issues

Good fo you, I also pray you wouldn't open a thread in the car talk section ranting about one issue or the other to ikenna n co, cos300k is to low to get a decent ride (99 model) without problems accompanying it.

Boss how much would it cost me to get a fairly used note 3

I know u don't hve note 3 in stock but how much can u get a fairly used one for me n when can it be available....plz rpl asap leme knw if I'll proceed with getting a new one.

Arrrggghhh....almost died reading this post,its way too long.
Nice article though.

Ethiopian field grass go good to feed sallah ram oh.

Ethiopian field grass go good to feed sallah ram oh.

banki: in Nigeria the most affordable brand new vehicles are about1.8million -3million, kia picanto and Hyundai getz and other cars within their range hover around 1.8m, even the cheapest Nissan brand "sunny" is 2.5m
interest rates from any bank in Nigeria is between 19%-24% remember how "easy" it is to obtain a bank loan in Nigeria all of a sudden the government is trying to discourage the importation of new cars? so we can start driving brand new cars.....I must say this is very "intelligent" its obvious that they want to encourage us to start stealing.....

Just incase the average cost of a "self contained" apartment to rent in Abuja is between 350k-600k, I didn't say 1bed room apartment oh, most times one should also buy a generator, I would still pay some crazy amount to frsc to register the new car, one would still insure the car, buy food at exhorbitant amount, pay for low quality education, pay for expensive food, and pay for everything at a higher amount....pay for boreholes, pay for security....on a minimum wage of 18k

why do I have a feeling this government and its core supporters don't live in Nigeria?

Makes lots of sense,but let's see how it goes;maybe the government would subsidize the price of the cars.... Most times I wonder if the government just draft a plan without thinking it through,many Nigerians can't afford a brand new car with the current price which they are been sold,here alone on nairaland if you visit the car section,how many people ask or orders for brand new vehicles??(Less than 10%). So I wonder how theses assembly plants would break even when the demand is not available due to high cost. This can lead to two possibilities; either the law of demand(low) and supply(high) would force a reduction in price or total liquidation of the plant(because they can't break even).. I hope the 1st instance would be the case.

I thinks its bout time we ignore ASUU,let's see how long they can carry on with this industrial action. I see no reason why they can't accept the offer on the table if fo nothing at least fo th sake of there students.
Change can't happen overnight,if they are fighting fo change as they claim they should know its a gradual process.

Rawdeal: Nonchalance of the operators for human lives. People can be so careless and greedy. Would the loss of changing boats be equivalent to the loss of these lives?? SMH.... i think its us forcing END TIME THINGS on God at the rate we're
going

I think the passengers were adamant towards telling the boat operator to return back to shore;this was exactly what happened when I traveled to bonny early this year;5minutes into the journey one of the speed boat engines failed,and the boat operator tried to assure us that we can manage one while he repaired the second one on the way;as God would have it,we had reasonable passengers on board who insisted the operator turns back with the one engine we had left. Though he proved stubborn but continuous persistence on our path made him return ashore.

What happened to wearing life jacket before boarding small sea vessels like speed boat??

Freezle: Okay! Questions are welcome. And I do advice our professionals to speak out in other to assist with answering of some questions. I would do my best to answer the ones I can. I'm still learning too.

Please how do I install the software
