Place the source#
- Open Setup → Positions.
- Under Sound sources, use one source for the run. Select Place in model and follow the Revit prompt.
- Give the source a recognisable name.
- Click Edit to set it up. Replace point moves it.
Review the editor#
| Tab | What to set |
|---|---|
| Placement | Coordinates, units, offset and the point in the model. |
| Sound | Profile, frequency content and whether the level is absolute or relative. |
| Sound pattern | How the source radiates sound. |
| Orientation | Which way the source faces. |
| Appearance | How the marker looks — this doesn’t affect the acoustics. |
Use an absolute level only when you know the source’s real level. A relative level gives the spectral shape, not an absolute sound level at the listener. Built-in profiles are representative, not measurements of your source.
Save and check#
- Click Save changes.
- Check the source’s position and direction in the model.
- Rerun the analysis if you changed an existing source.
Check your result#
The source has the right name, position, level type and direction.
