30-minute Micro Learning: Envelope Analysis

A short exercise is provided to assist with learning Envelope Analysis. There are 3 links provided below.

  • A PDF of instructions on creating a suitable model in Autodesk Forma. This will be the basis for a few questions.
  • A Video of the recommended workflow.
  • A Form containing the questions (in the second link below).

A video is also provided showing a typical workflow to create a suitable model for the exercise. Please read the instructions and watch the video. You may then create a model in Autodesk Forma as recommended, which can then be used with our ‘Envelope Analysis’ extension. You may then open the form, do the exercises and answer the questions. You may retry the questions until they are correct.

We hope that you find this educational and informative. The material is designed to introduce key concepts and practical examples to support your learning.

30-minute Micro Learning: FenestraPro for Revit
