After completing this lesson, you'll be able to understand
00:05
rit warnings and export
00:07
rit warnings to a html file.
00:09
The objective domains covered are 5.6 C assess and review warnings in rev it
00:16
rev it may produce warnings within your project for a variety of different reasons.
00:21
For example, you may have an element that is slightly off faxes,
00:24
an overlapping element or a constraint conflict.
00:27
Some of these errors can simply be ignored but
00:30
some must be resolved before you can proceed.
00:33
However,
00:33
you should try and resolve as many errors as possible
00:36
to promote model health and keep the performance of the
00:39
rit model optimal.
00:41
Go ahead and open up the model 036, assessing and reviewing warnings in rev it,
00:47
the model opens up in the 00 ground floor plan.
00:51
Let's begin by having a look at what causes some errors inside
00:55
rat.
00:57
You'll see here that we have a series of three
00:60
reference planes modeled and I have some aligned dimensions,
01:03
dimension in the reference planes,
01:06
the reference planes are all pinned.
01:09
So consequently, if I select this string of dimensions
01:13
and I toggle the constraints to be equal,
01:16
you'll see that rev it produces an error.
01:19
This particular error here is saying that
01:21
constraints are not satisfied and you'll notice here
01:23
that I have to cancel this or remove the constraints before I can proceed.
01:28
This type of error is relatively safe because you can't ignore it.
01:31
You have to deal with it before you can move forwards within the model.
01:38
However, other warnings can be easily ignored. For example, if I model a wall
01:45
and then I modeled the same wall over the top of the original one,
01:50
you can see, I get a warning.
01:51
But note here, if I press escape to come out of the war command,
01:55
I've now lost the warning dialogue. I've now lost the IGN rable warning.
02:00
Some of these errors can be ignored but others have to be resolved.
02:05
Let's now review some of the warnings within this project,
02:09
select the managed ribbon
02:12
and here you'll note we have review warnings,
02:15
let's select review warnings.
02:19
So this dialogue box here is now presenting all
02:22
of the warnings and you'll notice they're grouped together.
02:24
So the first group we have here is beam or
02:26
brace is slightly off axes and may cause inaccuracies.
02:31
You'll note here that once this dialogue box is open,
02:33
most of the view commands will now work transparently with this dialogue box.
02:37
For example, I can open up and activate another view
02:40
and then rotate and zoom and pen in this view whilst the dialogue box is still open.
02:46
So let's take a look at some of these errors in closer detail.
02:52
So here I've just expanded this and I can see
02:54
here that this structural framing element is off axis.
02:58
Now, for an element to be off of axis,
03:00
it could be as little as 10 to the minus nine degrees off
03:03
of axis or up to a maximum of 0.2 degrees off of axis.
03:10
Sometimes you can repair this just by dragging grips,
03:12
but other times it's just easier to model the element again.
03:16
Now, what you'll find is quite often on sloping roofs.
03:19
It's quite common to get elements that are off axes.
03:22
So some people would choose to ignore this or you could try and resolve it by,
03:27
as I've said, modeling it again,
03:30
we'll come back to this one. But let's look at the next error.
03:33
So you can see here we have identical instances in the same place.
03:37
Of course, this is something you probably don't want to ignore.
03:40
This can cause problems with the joining of geometry and also quantities of items,
03:45
not only just the double counting of a column, say or a beam, for example,
03:49
but of course,
03:50
it can give you more um material than is actually required in the project.
03:54
So let's have a look at this one in here.
03:59
Again,
03:59
we can click on show or we can just rely on zooming around until we see the element.
04:03
So you can see here, this is the problem
04:06
And if I select this next one here,
04:08
I can see quite clearly that I have two elements over the top of each other
04:13
notice here. Of course. So I can actually go ahead and delete one of these elements.
04:17
Now here, I can actually see the element ID.
04:20
So if I want to delete the very last one I modeled,
04:22
that will be the one with the bigger element ID, which is this one here.
04:26
So let's go ahead and delete checked.
04:29
If we go back to review our warnings again,
04:32
you can now see we've just got our beam embrace, that's slightly off faxes.
04:36
And as I've said, I could just go ahead and remodel this again.
04:41
If you are checking the model on someone else's behalf
04:44
or you are ac ad manager or bin manager,
04:46
it can be quite useful to be able to export all of these errors
04:49
out and then present those to the
04:50
people producing the models for resolution and repair
04:54
to do this. We can simply click export
04:57
as you'll notice here, the error report is exported as a html file.
05:02
So let's go ahead and click save
05:06
and the error report is now written out. Let's take a look at that report.
05:10
So the report is now open and we can clearly see our beam or brace is slightly off axes.
05:15
And here it's telling us a section that's off axes and also giving us the
05:20
ID.
05:22
Now here, of course, I can simply just copy that to the clipboard.
05:25
And I'm now going to use this to go ahead
05:27
and select that same element in my rev it model.
05:31
So here we are in the rev it model
05:34
to select this element ID, select the manage ribbon
05:37
and on the manage ribbon, you'll note here we have select by
05:41
ID.
05:43
I can now simply paste that into the dialogue box
05:47
and then click show
05:49
and here's the beam that's off axis.
