ENDS 170 Project 1 - Jacob Zimmer

As our first project for ENDS 170, we were to model in Revit the House design we were working on in our design studio. That assignment was to design a behavioral setting located in College station, Texas for a handicapped client. Points to take into consideration include meeting ADA guidelines, airflow through the house, and lighting.

Revit was an overall effective program for this project. The interface is easy to get used to and there are many readily available tools to perform the most common actions. While the learning curve is not too steep, a beginner user such as myself is frequently confronted by confusing errors. Fortunately, most of these are able to be corrected after the first time. I currently am not satisfied with my Revit representation of my design, and will continue to refine it if time allows.
