Revit Conceptual Massing Environment - Index


Over the years I have struggled with the Conceptual Massing Environment (CME) in Revit.  It is not easy to use, and is not at all well integrated with the rest of Revit.  However, I have learnt a huge amount about how to get it to do what you want (or not!).  I have tried to document some of the tips and tricks on this blog and during various conference presentations that I have given at RTC & BILT .

Here is a summary / index of all the relevant posts on this blog:
