The separate environment has additional visibility of 3D levels and reference planes which makes more complex parametric modeling easier.Ĭonceptual Massing Environment (outside project) Better for developing and refining a building mass.
Different team members can work on the different versions of the family.The family can be loaded into multiple Revit models.Iterations of the family can be placed as needed around the site.On the other hand, a Conceptual Mass Family is built in the ‘conceptual massing environment’, outside of the project environment. Good for preliminary sketching of forms and is the recommended approach for early stage design and for conceptual building studies.The most straightforward approach and works well when the building volumes are not too complex.Allows you to see the rest of the project context, which is useful when designing at an early stage.
In-Place Massing is carried out directly inside the project environment. Here’s a brief comparison of these approaches. There are two basic workflows for creating masses: create the massing within the project itself (In-Place Massing) or create it in a separate conceptual mass family, which is then loaded into the project. To be able to use this tool to your advantage you should know a couple of techniques. I) : In-Place Mass vs Mass Familyīy Povilas Sindriūnas, AGACAD Architectural Engineer & BIM Application EngineerĪutodesk® Revit® massing is a powerful tool for generating masses that works at any scale, whether you’re at the conceptual level of a building, at the detailed level refining the fixings and furniture, or working on an entire masterplan.
