Breaking up large meshes

- [Instructor] When you're working in Revit and planning on taking your model out to 3DS Max for a rendering or out for a real-time simulation, it's a good idea as I've stated to break up large meshes. And this is especially true when you're dealing in a mesh that may have holes punched in it such as our ceilings here in our bank which may get recessed can lights. The original has tall surfaced mount cans but I'm going to recess some here over this screen wall. Later we can add other fixtures in that are surface mount. I'll go into my floor plan, scrolling up in my project browser, and clicking on level one. What we can see here is that I've got curtain walls around the perimeter and a bathroom or similar shape in the center. What I've done is to plan this in loosely. Again, I'm using this for design and iteration. We can also see that I've got a partition wall here, kind of sectioning off maybe the main entry and lobby and if there's a reception desk, from other things going on…
