Any other Jrs struggle discerning what is “real” in Revit and not? Especially in complicated roof conditions. Sloppy modeling is driving me crazy

General Practice Discussion

8 months into this and I feel so stupid doing details sometimes because of the way people model stuff in Revit. I ask “wtf am I looking at” 500 times a day because there will be all kinds of stuff running into each other, roofs fused together, walls and floors, etc.

I’m used to modeling everything very accurately in Rhino for more technical presentation drawings at university so hearing that something got “thrown together” in the Revit model and will be drafted on later is very confusing and really doesn’t help that I don’t know construction details still.

And yes I’ve bought Ching, I bought Graphics Standards, I even bought Graphic Guide to Frame Construction.

It also doesn’t help that I’m not looped into any design decisions or explained the logic to so I’m just left trying to interpret my equivalent of hieroglyphics
