Conceptual Massing CREATING BASIC FORMS IN CONCEPTUAL M ASSING Firstly it is very important to know and pay attention on which reference plane you are working. Revit automatically sets the Work Plane to the last reference plane or work plane that you selected. You start off with three work or reference planes. These are; Level 1, Centre (Front/Back) and Centre (Left/ Right). We will be working on the Work plane Level 1. In the Conceptual Mass environment you can use Levels same as you do in the project environment. These Levels however do not carry over when the Conceptual Mass Family is loaded into the project. Therefore they are mostly used as guides for the size of the Conceptual Mass that is created. If you want to create new Levels simply select the Level 1 in 3D, hold the Ctrl Key down and drag the Level 1 upwards. This creates a copy of Level 1 which is called Level 2. You can also set the Height or Distance from the first level by clicking on the Temporary Dimension and inserting your own length.
