4. Basic usage
Ruukki Panels can be inserted to model as Revit Wall objects or individual beam objects.
Wall object can be used and edited as normal Revit wall object.
Beam objects are inserted as individual Panels and then copied for the whole project.
Using Panels as individual beams enables control of each individual panel and its
properties, for example colors. Also accurate listing of panels is enabled.
These instructions describe basic usage of both options.
