00:03
In Revit, analytical panels represent the simplification of plate-like structural elements such as floors, slabs, and walls,
00:12
and they contain the necessary data for analyzing these elements.
00:16
Begin with analytical panels already created in Revit.
00:19
When these were created, analytical nodes were automatically generated at the ends or corners of the panel,
00:26
and controls were added to the panel edges.
00:29
Select a panel, and then click and drag a node.
00:33
Notice that moving a node changes the position of several connected elements at once,
00:37
modifying the geometry of the panel.
00:40
You can also adjust the geometry using the middle panel controls.
00:44
Select a control and click and drag it to modify another panel’s geometry.
00:49
To modify only the panel without changing connected elements, you must edit the sketch of the panel.
00:55
To do so, from the ribbon, in the Modify | Analytical Panels tab, Mode panel, select Edit Boundary.
01:02
Then, from the Modify panel, select Move.
01:06
Back in the workspace, click and drag an edge of a panel to adjust it.
01:11
Then from the ribbon, click Finish Edit Mode to save your new boundary.
01:16
With Revit, you can modify analytical panels directly in the canvas
01:20
to speed up the adjustment of the geometry of your analytical model.

In Revit, analytical panels represent the simplification of plate-like structural elements such as floors, slabs, and walls, and they contain the necessary data for analyzing these elements.
Begin with analytical panels already created in Revit. When the panels for this example were created, analytical nodes were automatically generated at the ends or corners of the panel, and controls were added to the panel edges.
Notice that moving a node changes the position of several connected elements at once, modifying the geometry of the panel.
The geometry can also be adjusted using the middle panel controls.
To modify only the panel without changing connected elements, edit the sketch of the panel:
With Revit, analytical panels can be modified directly in the canvas to speed up the adjustment of the geometry of an analytical model.
