BIM Q&A | How to Draw Shear Walls and Irregular Columns in Revit
To create shear walls with irregular concealed columns in Revit, follow these steps:
1. Begin by creating a new family using a metric column family template. Based on the type of concealed column shown in your drawings—whether straight, L-shaped, T-shaped, or another form—set up the necessary parametric controls.
2. Draw the concealed columns according to the blueprint specifications.
3. For complex steel reinforcement nodes shown in the construction drawings, locally model the steel bar connections of the concealed columns, shear walls, and connecting beams in 3D. This detailed 3D reinforcement model will serve as a guide for on-site construction and pre-binding of the steel bars.
