Three Box M assing: Vary the heights and relative positions of three mass volumes to study their visual impact while also calculating surface area s and volume s.Generative Design in Revit 2021 is available to AEC Collection subscribers and ships with 3 design studies common to commercial build programs. Start with the s ample s tudies available in Revit 2021. How to get started. Three things to try: 1. Dial in on balance across all design factors, or optimize for a single factor, and bring to your team and client meetings the depth, breadth, and rigor of data well done. T o explore results, the generative design capability offers scatter and point coordinate results managers, so you can adjust parameters with the simplicity of sliders or c ompare different clusters of results. It is a powerful technique, as it produces many options it is also precise in that it provides the ability to filter out noise and focus only on th os e alternatives that best meet the design goals. G enerative D esign in Revit helps project teams quickly devise, test, adjust, and iterate design studies. It answers the question – how do we decide which option is the best? – by offering flexible ways to test, optimize, and validate design options with data. Generative D esign in Revit works to bring more clarity to the design critique. They translat e competing project goals into satisfying solutions for clients and design teams alike. They recognize that every decision has a knock-on effect, and they’re experts in finding a balance between intuition and information. We know architects a re experts in the art of tradeoffs and science of impacts. See What’s New in Revit 2021 Design decisions as art and science. With this new feature you can generate and explore more options directly in Revit - help ing you back good design intuition with data, run more rigorous experiments, and satisfy clients a nd project teams through more informed decis ion-making. What if you could explore more design alternatives in fewer steps ? What if you could rank, filter, sort, and select based on parameters and constraints that you and your teams define ? What if you could focus on the viable alternatives and filter out the noise? Generative Design in Revit is a new feature that brings the scale, speed, and precision of algorithmic problem-solving to design decision-making.
