Case Study: Perkins + Will "Practical Application of Parametric Design in Revit"

"Practical Application of Parametric Design in Revit"

Description:

Case studies of Perkins + Will Projects with a focus on the use of parametric design in Revit projects.

We will take an in-depth look at how Revit's parametric families and components are used to streamline our fast paced and iterative design process. Through our project examples, we will share the technical details on how these parametric parts were built and implemented, and offer some practical advices on what works and what doesn't.
