Revit at the Oshtaz Studio

In these days of unemployment for all architects, I have been spending time at the studio of Robert Oshatz, a Portland architect, and building one of his projects in Revit to get experience. Revit is a drawing tool that allows you to make 2D construction drawings and 3D renderings simultaneously.

I am about half-done with this model of a spec house by Oshatz to be located in Portland. As you can see it has large elliptical glu-lam beams defining the main living space. Most of the structural framing, floors, and walls are in place in this model, now I need to complete the exterior and glazing. Special thanks to Michael Feinstein for helping me along in this process.

Revit has its quirks, and it has been interesting to build such a complex structure while learning a new program. I'll post finished drawings when I'm done!
