3D Creation of Ceiling, Roof, Architectural plan, Structural plan, Sectional view, Elevation view and Camera specific view for a house plan using REVIT

1) Based on the project saved from Week 3, proceed from the First Floor Level. Model a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level

Aim: To create the ceiling above the walls at the first floor level.

Procedure:

Initially open the week 3 assignment from the revit software.
Then, first let us create a ceiling in the ground floor as well as first floor level, so that roof can be created for the entire structure.
For this initially go to plan view.
Now, copy this floor to the level 2 i.e, the first floor level.
Next we have to create the railings for the fir floor verandah.
For this go to railings option in the architecture tab and create the railings.
Now we can place the ceiling, for this go to architecture tab and choose ceiling.
Ceiling is to be provided in the level 2 for the ground floor.

Result:

Hence, the ceiling is created.

2) Model a roof above the ceiling by selecting the footprints of the ceiling. Using the adjustment toolbars appearing on-screen adjust the roof slope to 10 degrees

Aim: To model a roof above the ceiling by selecting the footprints of the ceiling and to adjust the roof slope to 10 degrees using adjustment toolbar.

Procedure:

In order to create the roof, initially go to architecture tab of the ribbon.
Then choose the roof option
Then using the pick wall option in the modify tab create the roof boundary.
Now, we have to adjust the roof slope to 10 degrees.

Result:

Hence, 10 degree slope is created.

3) Using the file saved from weeks 2 to 4, create plan views for ground floor level and first-floor level including all the walls, floors, and components. Separate them to
architecture and structural plans

a. Architecture plan must have walls, floors, and all the components placed within the building
b. Structure plan must have details of only walls, floors, and columns

Aim: To create plan views for ground floor level and first-floor level including all the walls, floors, and components and then separate them to

Architecture plan
Structural plans.

Procedure:

Architecture plan

Go to view tab of the ribbon then select plan views.
In the plan views, select floor plan.
Click level 1 and go to edit type.
Choose view template applied to new views.
In that select architectural plan.
Then the floor plan is obtained as follows:
Ground floor plan:

First floor plan:

Structural Plan:

For this the plan will contain only walls floors and the column as the structural element and is given as follows:
Ground floor structural plan:

First floor structural plan:

Result:

Hence, structural plan is also developed.

4) Using annotate toolbar add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file

a. The architecture plan dimensions include details on where the components are placed within the buildings with relation to grids. Overall dimensions are sufficient for architecture plans

b. The Structure plan dimensions must include details on the position of all the walls and interior walls with reference to grids. Locate all the framing components of the building with reference to a fixed point using Structural plan

Aim: To add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file.

The architecture plan dimensions include details on where the components are placed within the buildings with relation to grids.
The Structure plan dimensions must include details on the position of all the walls and interior walls with reference to grids.

Procedure:

The architecture plan dimensions include details on where the components are placed within the buildings with relation to grids.

Initially select the floor plan for ground floor.
Go to annotate tab and choose linear dimension and provide linear dimensions in the plan.
For ground floor:

For first floor:

The Structure plan dimensions must include details on the position of all the walls and interior walls with reference to grids.

Now we have to create the structural plan dimensions acoording to grid lines.
For this, go to structural plan.
Then go to architectural tab, select grids and draw grids along the walls.
Ground floor:

First floor:

Result:

5) Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views

Aim: To create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views.

Procedure:

Initially go to view tab of the panel.
Choose sheet option in the sheet composition panel of the view tab.
Click load option and load more templates.
Select the template and click ok.
Now, choose the view that is to be added in the template.
Add view to the sheet and then adjust the scale so that it fit to the template.

Result:

6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West

Aim: To create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West.

Procedure:

Initially go to view tab of the ribbon.
Choose elevation view.
Then create the elevation view --> north, south, east and west.
The elevation views thus obtained are:

Result:

East:

South:

West:

North:

7) Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction

Aim: To produce section cut through each room.

Procedure:

Go to view tab of the ribbon.
Select the section view and then section the required room.

Result:

Section 1:

Section 2:

Section 3:

Section 4:

Hence, four sections have been created.

8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser

Aim: To classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using properties browser.

Procedure:

Go to view tab of the ribbon.
Choose property browser.
The following are the different views created.

Result:

9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows
a. A 101- Ground Floor Architecture Plan
b. A 102- First Floor Architecture Plan
c. A 103- Roof Plan
d. S 101- Ground Floor Structural Plan
e. S 102- First Floor Structural Plan
f. S 103- Roof Framing Plan
g. A-201- North-South Elevations
h. A-202- East-West Elevations

Aim: To create sheet template and add different views in it.

Procedure:

Go to view tab of the ribbon panel.
Choose sheet option and load the template required.
Then add the views in it.

Ground floor Architectural plan:

First floor Architectural plan:

Roof plan:

Ground floor structural plan:

First floor structural plan:

10) Create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in each room ( living, dining, bedroom). Based on the views create a new set of sheets starting A-501 (you can add as many sheets after, 502, 503.. n)to place the 3D view images. Produce the sheets as a part of project drafting.

Aim: To create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in each room.

Procedure:

Inorder to create a camera specific view, first go to view tab.
Then choose 3D drop down and in that choose camera.
Now place the camera in the plan view at suitable location to obtain the camera view.
Different camera views are then produced in a template.
Ground floor(GF) views are as given below:

Result:
