The building mass floor.

Create mass floor revit. For example to create the very bottom floor the mass must extend lower than the bottom floor even if only by a small amount. Now let us create a new project file.

To create a floor from a mass floor. This method of creating a mass yields simple to complex organic forms see figure 16. A revolve form is a mass created by turning a profile around an axis line. In the type selector select a floor type.

If you have not already done so add levels to the project. Mass floors are based on levels defined in the project. The axis can either be a model line or reference line. When it is the first mass to be created within the project a pop up will appear stating that revit has enabled the show mass mode.

After creating a mass for a conceptual design create a mass floor at each level defined in the project. By the same example if you are a creating mass floor with only one level the mass must exist above and below that level so that revit can find the intersection and make the floor.

Creating the revit project. Open a view that displays the mass. You can select the mass in any type of project view including floor plan rcp elevation section and 3d views. After clicking the create form button the mass sweep is created.
