Every once in a while I am confronted with a problem in Revit or Navisworks. Sometimes I can find a solution online, but more often than not, I need to figure it out myself or create a work-around. I hope to post cool and useful tips and tricks here. There should be a healthy mixture of Revit, Navisworks and MEP+ as well as a little Photoshop and maybe even some 3D Max. A balanced diet for any BIM professional.
Hello Mr. Burke,
ReplyDeleteI have just recently begun to learn BIM (Building Information Modeling) within the last year.
I am currently working on building a green house in Albuquerque, New Mexico and have run into a bit of a problem. I've searched the internet and all of the BIM related websites and have not been able to find a solution. A good friend of mine who knows’ your skills with BIM suggested I contact you.
The green house I am building is a little unique. Instead of using one layer of foam to fill the cover, I have decided to use two self-contained layers with different chemical compositions of foam to be useful during different types of sun exposure and temperatures.
I am having trouble with the Analysis Grid. I'm not even sure if I should be using it to figure out how to determine sun exposure with surface area and sun angle on different parts of the green house.
I want to figure out internal daylight levels based off of external sunlight hours. The problem is that I have a huge Bur Oak tree that takes up a good amount of the light for 4 hours during the morning in about 33% of my designated greenhouse area. I don't want to remove the tree because it is so beautiful and I have nowhere else to put the green house.
I want to determine the best place to put the different types of plants I have planned to grow. Some of them are shade plants and others do real well in sunlight. I want to have the best sunlight for each of them during the best time of day, at the same time the foam is working with different types of weather, and my watering system is giving the correct amount of moisture.
Any Suggestions?
