OK, we could import a bridge into Revit and start working on it wherever it lands, but that would be a little sloppy.
00:07
What I'd like to do in this segment is move our survey point to the proper location,
00:11
center view in our site view, and add levels for our peers.
00:15
We can work a lot easier in our models.
00:18
Let's jump into Revit.
00:21
Let's open the model we've been working on.
00:23
In the project browser, I want to scroll down on their structural plans and make sure you're in the site plan.
00:29
If you double click your wheel button or type ZA, it's going to zoom all.
00:34
This is not something we want.
00:35
We do not want these points that far part.
00:39
But notice they are.
00:41
If you go to the Manage tab, click on the "Location" button,
00:47
it puts it on the actual GIS coordinate system in Revit.
00:51
This is actually pretty huge, but we don't want this disparity between our survey point and our project base point.
00:58
Click "OK" here.
01:00
What we want to do is if we zoom in on our survey point and select it, notice that it's all zero.
01:07
It doesn't know anything.
01:09
What we need to do is move that.
01:10
So, let's click the clip icon, the little paper clip and unclip it, so there's a little red line through it.
01:18
Click the "Move" button.
01:22
I'm going to pick right from this point here.
01:25
And I want to move it on top of this.
01:27
Now once we zoom in, we'll see there's going to be some competition between where this thing lands.
01:33
So, I want to make sure we zoom in close enough and it says point right here.
01:40
It's all fine and dandy for north, south, east, west.
01:43
However, our elevation, I'm not sure what that's supposed to be.
01:46
So, hit "Escape" a couple of times.
01:48
Hover over this area.
01:50
Hit your Tab key and pause for a second.
01:52
Notice that it says project-based point.
01:55
Pick that.
01:56
Now minds and feet in fractional inches, so it's funny here.
01:59
But I'm going to select my elevation.
02:01
I'm going to swipe over it.
02:03
I'm going to hit "Control" "C" to copy it.
02:08
I'm going hit "Escape" a couple of times.
02:10
I'm going to tab over these points until I find survey point.
02:15
I'm going to click my survey point.
02:17
And for my elevation, I'm going to click into the here and I'm going to Ctrl+V. Apply.
02:23
Now once that's done, I'm going to clip it back on so I'm going to pick the paper clip.
02:29
That felt better.
02:31
Now what I want to do is I want to adjust my View Range, so we can see everything.
02:36
So, in my properties, I'll scroll down until I find view range.
02:39
I'm going to click "Edit".
02:42
I want my top to be unlimited.
02:46
For my top plane, that was like 3,000 feet.
02:49
So, I'm going to top it.
02:50
I'm going to go 4,000 feet.
02:53
For my bottom, I'm going to go unlimited.
02:56
For my view depth, I'd like to go unlimited.
02:60
Click "Apply".
03:01
Click "OK".
03:02
All right, now we can see what we're doing here.
03:06
Now in our project browser, let's scroll down until we find our south elevation and open that up.
03:13
Now we've got some levels here.
03:15
They're in a weird spot.
03:17
I'll keep level one as it is.
03:20
We're going to just drag our levels over a little bit.
03:26
Now for level two, I don't want that to be where it is.
03:30
So, I'm going to type AL for align.
03:33
I'm going to grab the top of my foundation or the bottom of my pier here.
03:39
First, I'm going to come down and I'm going to grab level two.
03:44
I'm going to bring it on up.
03:46
Hit "Escape" a couple of times. I can select my level.
03:50
I guess maybe I'll drag my points over a little bit.
03:56
I'll drag this point in a little bit.
04:00
But notice what it's reading. I don't really like what it's reading.
04:03
So, I select level two, click "Edit Type".
04:10
Now for our elevation base, instead of project base point,
04:14
let's switch that the survey point, click "Apply".
04:17
It's reading the actual data.
04:21
Click "OK".
04:24
Hit "Escape" a couple of times.
04:26
I don't really want that to be level two.
04:28
So, I want to call it bottom of pier one.
04:33
So, what I'll do is I'll just select my level two.
04:37
I'm going to call it B.O.P_PIER-1.
04:41
Click off of it.
04:42
Yes, we want to rename corresponding views.
04:46
Excellent.
04:47
Let's make one at the top of the pier now.
04:50
So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to just simply right click on this level.
04:54
I'm going to create similar.
04:58
Scroll up here.
05:00
I'm going use my pick lines button.
05:03
I'm going to grab the very bottom of this.
05:06
There we go.
05:07
I'm going to drag this over a little bit.
05:09
If I zoom out, we can align it.
05:13
Zoom in, grab this.
05:15
Trying to get over and align it.
05:21
Now I'm going to just simply call this T.O.P_PIER-2.
05:30
Click off of it.
05:31
Yes, I want to rename the corresponding views.
05:35
Now you can repeat that for all the levels.
05:38
I'm just going to keep it on This, in the sake of brevity.
05:42
But there we go.
05:43
Now we have our levels in our project browser.
05:45
I'm going to select level one, level two analytical.
05:49
I'm going to right click and just delete those.
05:51
Don't need them.
05:52
There you go. Now you're ready for the next step.
00:01

I'll keep level one as it is.

Setting Up the Revit Environment
OK, we could just bring in a bridge and start working on it, but that would a little sloppy! What I’d like to do in this segment is move our survey point to the proper location, set our view range in our site view, and add levels for our piers so we can work a lot easier in our models.
1. Open the model you have been working on.
2. In the Project Browser, scroll down to Structural Plans – Site and open that view.
3. Zoon the extents of the view so it looks like the image below.
4. Select the triangular datum. This is the Survey Point.
5. Click the little paperclip icon to unclip it.
6. Click the Move button.
7. Move it from the point snap on the Survey Point to the point snap on the Project Base Point as shown below (you will have to zoom in on the Project Base Point to get the right spot).
8. Select the Survey Point (hover over it and hit the tab key until it is selected).
9. Change the elevation to 3031' 5 207/256"
10. Click the paperclip to clip the Survey Point.
11. Hit Esc a few times.
12. In the view properties, scroll down until you see View Range, and select the Edit button.
13. Set the View Range to the settings shown below:
14. In the Project Browser, go to the South elevation.
15. In the South Elevation align Level 2 to the bottom of Pier 1 as shown below.
16. Rename it B.O.P_PIER-1 (Bottom of Pier).
17. Select the B.O.P_PIER-1 level.
18. Click Edit Type in the Properties.
19. Change the Elevation Base to Survey Point.
20. All of your elevations will now read the State Plane elevations.
21. Right click on the BOP_PIER-1 level and select Create Similar.
22. Create a level at the top of the Pier and call it T.O.P_PIER-1
23. Repeat creating these levels for the rest of the piers.
