- [Instructor] So Chapter six, we are going to look at some of the massing options that we have between SketchUp and Revit. And this one, we're just going to sort of have a look at how we can generate some mass objects from content that's been downloaded from the 3D warehouse. This is the One World Trade Center. Mass is made by Sebastion S. I've checked some of the dimensions, it's pretty accurate, so very useful as an example of how we can use this sort of thing inside of Revit. It's not that difficult to make in Revit, but the things that SketchUp does really well, like creating all these little nooks and crannies, are not so readily easy to create, especially as these things are sloping in, inside of Revit. Not impossible, but not as easy as they are in SketchUp, and this thing, we'll just use this as a separate object which we can then plunk on the top. So, what I have done with this is, this comes in as one thing. I've exploded it and created two separate entities. So these are mine. The One World Tower Mass, and the One World Tower Mast. And then, we shall import it into Revit, into the massing environment, not the project environment, because then we can do slightly different things in the massing environment and then we'll send it from the massing environment into the project environment. So we'll be opening up a mass family in the next exercise and we'll be bringing this model into it. So, if you haven't got access to the files, then you can just download this from the 3D warehouse as I did and use that.
