WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.920 Now that we have the interior walls complete, let's go ahead and add in some doors. 00:05.920 --> 00:10.600 So doors are pretty straightforward in Revit, and they're pretty easy to just add in and 00:10.600 --> 00:12.160 throw in all over the place. 00:12.160 --> 00:16.400 But it's really good to understand some of the fundamentals so that you can streamline 00:16.400 --> 00:19.600 your process of adding the doors. 00:19.600 --> 00:22.540 From the Architecture tab, we're going to find door. 00:22.540 --> 00:27.880 This also has a handy keyboard shortcut, which is just DR, but we'll use the button this 00:27.880 --> 00:28.880 time. 00:28.960 --> 00:33.240 The next thing you want to do is just always make sure that you pick the right type. 00:33.240 --> 00:37.280 It's not recommended to use a different one and change it later if you already know 00:37.280 --> 00:41.800 what it's going to be because we're just people and oftentimes we get to change it back 00:41.800 --> 00:42.800 later. 00:42.800 --> 00:45.320 So let's make sure we get the right one in, right off the bat. 00:45.320 --> 00:51.240 So we're going to start with our first couple doors and these are going to be the 30 by 00:51.240 --> 00:52.240 80. 00:52.240 --> 00:58.040 So that's a two foot six by 80 inch door, which is a pretty typical door for a house this 00:58.040 --> 01:02.920 size and we'll start with our back door here. 01:02.920 --> 01:09.240 And you can see when I place the door over a wall, it gives me a preview and depending 01:09.240 --> 01:17.120 on which side of the wall I favor, that's the side that the door is going to face. 01:17.120 --> 01:22.280 So if I were to move my mouse to somewhere there isn't a wall, you can see that I get 01:22.280 --> 01:28.120 the international no symbol, the circle with the slash through it. 01:28.120 --> 01:34.880 And that's because doors are hosted elements, so they have to be hosted into a wall. 01:34.880 --> 01:41.840 And so if I were to place a door, say here, then it would actually lock itself in. 01:41.840 --> 01:46.360 But in this case, we want to make sure that the door is also swinging the right direction. 01:46.360 --> 01:51.040 So we're going to have it swing into into the house, but we also want to make sure that 01:51.040 --> 01:54.240 we have the door with the hinge side on the right side. 01:54.240 --> 01:59.720 So you can see here, it's not correct, but if I were to hit space bar, it'll flip it 01:59.720 --> 02:00.720 around. 02:00.720 --> 02:04.320 Now, I don't want you to think that, oh, I placed it wrong, I can't change it after 02:04.320 --> 02:05.320 the fact. 02:05.320 --> 02:06.320 And that's simply not true. 02:06.320 --> 02:10.360 So if you do place the door by clicking on the wall, you can see that we do have these 02:10.360 --> 02:17.680 toggles that will allow you to adjust the location of the door. 02:17.680 --> 02:21.440 Now what I could do is I could place the other doors that are of this type. 02:21.440 --> 02:25.840 So we have another one here. 02:25.840 --> 02:30.680 And we have one more that's going to sit right about this location. 02:30.680 --> 02:36.240 So our plan does have a couple of notes in here that tells us where some of these doors 02:36.240 --> 02:38.520 need to be located. 02:38.520 --> 02:43.040 So in this case, we want to make sure that this door is located so that it clears the 02:43.040 --> 02:44.960 closet line. 02:44.960 --> 02:51.440 And so what we could do is we could set the dimension for this door based on the face 02:51.440 --> 02:52.720 of wall. 02:52.720 --> 02:59.880 So I can go from here, drawing the dimension, and then I could set my other dimension 02:59.880 --> 03:03.560 to be on the edge of the door. 03:03.560 --> 03:10.480 And since we know that this dimension is two feet, if I were to give this the same value, 03:10.480 --> 03:14.120 then we know that it'll be outside of the closet because we also have to account for 03:14.120 --> 03:18.520 the wall thickness on the side here. 03:18.520 --> 03:20.920 Next one is this door here. 03:20.920 --> 03:25.440 And we're going to use a three inch distance from the face of wall to the door jam. 03:25.440 --> 03:27.760 The door jam is at this location here. 03:27.760 --> 03:34.160 So if I draw a dimension from the face of the wall to the edge of the door jam, then I 03:34.160 --> 03:37.160 get a value of seven inches. 03:37.160 --> 03:40.840 Well, what I could do is I could select my door now because that's the object I want 03:40.840 --> 03:46.360 to move, pick the dimension, and change it to three inches. 03:46.360 --> 03:49.520 So this is not a dimension I want to keep in the plan. 03:49.520 --> 03:51.920 So I'm going to go ahead and delete it. 03:51.920 --> 03:54.840 And this one, I'm going to move a little closer to the wall so that it's not cluttering 03:54.840 --> 03:57.200 the plan so much. 03:57.200 --> 04:02.160 You may have picked up on a pattern here that if there's an object that we want to move, 04:02.160 --> 04:07.400 we have to first select it, and then change the dimension value. 04:07.400 --> 04:12.440 Now that's not the only way that we can move items within Revit. 04:12.440 --> 04:19.080 Another thing that I see people do a lot is they'll use the move tool. 04:19.080 --> 04:20.640 And that's from the Modify tab. 04:20.640 --> 04:24.560 And you really don't have to worry about which tab it is because what's awesome is when 04:24.560 --> 04:28.800 you pick on a door, it'll kick in this modified doors. 04:28.800 --> 04:30.960 This is called a contextual tab. 04:30.960 --> 04:35.800 So there's specific elements that are used to modify the door. 04:35.800 --> 04:42.960 And I can go to the My Move tool, and I can move from say this jam point to the face 04:42.960 --> 04:48.760 of the wall to line that up, and then I can move it again that three inch dimension that 04:48.760 --> 04:52.440 I was looking for to set the door in the right location. 04:52.440 --> 04:56.440 So if you're not a big fan of using these dimensions like that, then you can always still 04:56.440 --> 05:00.080 just use your move tool to make it work. 05:00.080 --> 05:05.600 Now the last door that we placed here, if I were to pick on this door, you can see that 05:05.600 --> 05:10.160 these other dimensions pop up, and these are called temporary dimensions. 05:10.160 --> 05:13.920 And this one's going to work out pretty well for us because we actually have a dimension 05:13.920 --> 05:19.920 of five inches from the center of this wall to the jam of this door. 05:19.920 --> 05:23.160 And so right now it's going to the center of the door, but what I could do is I could 05:23.160 --> 05:25.520 pick this grip right here. 05:25.520 --> 05:31.080 And if I click on it, it'll actually change the location of where the dimension is being 05:31.080 --> 05:32.080 drawn from. 05:32.080 --> 05:34.640 So you can see now it's at the jam. 05:34.640 --> 05:39.240 And if I pick on this value, it says seven inches, well, I want that to be five. 05:39.240 --> 05:46.960 So if I change it to zero space, five inches, then that door is now in the right location. 05:46.960 --> 05:49.000 I'm going to go ahead and save. 05:49.000 --> 05:54.800 And in the next video, we're going to go through adding the rest of the doors to the project. 05:54.800 --> 05:57.320 And then we'll follow up with adding the windows.
