How to use DECAL in Revit

First of all I would like to say one thing that, like you are confused today......I was also confused the other day. But I had learnt how to use decal, then also I was confused about using it. So I had learnt the trick again and today I am going to explain you about that. You can see the image that I had used as Decal on the wall.

First of all after creating walls, columns, window, door, ventilator and other required 3D items in Revit, now it's time to bring the 2D plan to 3D object. After bringing into 3D object give colour or texture whatever you want. Then you want to place at wall something which looks colourful. So go to the insert tab and you will see that Decal command is available in there. Click on Decal command and you will see two options are available.

Click on the Decal Types, and you will see that a dialog box appears on the screen. On the right hand side of settings you will find many options such as source, brightness, reflectivity and so on. Click on the source, Oh wait actually not on the source but on the three dots you see. After clicking those three dots you see that a new dialog box appears in front of it. That is the dialog box of your images or files you saved in. Click the required image that you want to give on your wall or surface and then click on Open. The required image will show in the box. After that click on OK.

You will see that the required image appears on the screen. But you will see as a box type to place it. By clicking on the object you want to place it you will that it will appear on it, but it should be at some surface only whether it is wall, column, tank etc. whatever be. You will get the fully clarified image after you render it. But that I will explain later.

So if you have understood something just give a like and place a comment in the comment section box. You will get to know everything about Revit you want.

How to edit grid systems in Etabs

Okk in the last blog I had discussed about Etabs for beginners. You have got at least some ideas about it. If you have not seen it then click here . But here I am going to discuss how you will edit Grids/Columns in Etabs. As I had said by clicking on "Modify/Show Grid Systems" option a new dialog box appears, their you can edit anything. But you can also do it by different way. On the left side in grid dimensions (plan) you can see that two options are available. One is "Uniform Grid Spacing" and the other is "Custom Grid Spacing". Click on the "Custom Grid Spacing" and you see that Edit Grid Data option is available. Just click on that, and you can edit it as you want by giving the required dimensions in X-axis and Y-axis only. Ok whatever be lets come to the topic. If you have done it like as I have shown earlier then follow those steps. And the one who were new to this blog this is just for that. That's why I underlined with BLUE line an...

Excavation for RE Wall.

So, hey guys! How are you? You might have read my previous blogs about panel casting and panel placing . Now it's time to learn about panel erection or what to do after 3-4 months of casting the panels. So the first step is about excavation for RE Wall. Then only you can erect the panels. So let us learn about this excavation part. You all know excavation work is done by JCB or Falkland. To excavate the soil and then carry it to the other dumped areas. But before excavation you all know, to marked the center line as well as the outer line also so that the area doesn't excavate much as per the requirement. For excavation just you need to take 500mm more, then that of the given drawing. Doing this excavation is easy. But what to do if it's flooded with rain water/ or water coming from other sources. Definitely your answer will be to do dewatering work with a water pump. That's fine. But do this dewatering work with almost by fixing 3-4 water pumps. So that it soaks...
