3D Creation of Ceiling, Roof, Architectural plan, Structural plan, Sectional view, Elevation view and Camera specific view for a house plan using REVIT
Challenge 4
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 model a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the ground first floor level.
INTRODUCTION: -
The creation of Ceilings within Revit is a very similar process to that of Floors and Roofs- ie you can let Revit do most of the work and “guess” where you want the boundaries to be, or you can enter “Sketch Mode” and literally sketch out the boundary of the ceiling yourself.
PROCEDURE: -
Step:-1
Open the REVIT software, and open challenge 3 model. Select the ceiling option from the architecture toolbar.

Step:-2
After selecting the ceiling option, click on the sketch ceiling button and in the boundary tab select pick line option. Once it is done the start selecting the boundary of the ceiling in the drawing. Then the ceiling will be created.
RESULT: -
The ceiling has been modelled successfully from the architecture tab above the walls at the ground-floor level.

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.
INTRODUCTION:-
Roof, covering on the top of a building, serving to protect against rain, snow, sunlight wind, and extremes of temperature.
Roofs have been constructed in a wide variety of forms flat, pitched, vaulted, domed, or in combinations as dictated by technical, economic, or aesthetic considerations.
PROCEDURE:-
Step:-1 Open the architecture toolbar, and select the Roof by Footprint option as shown in the below figure.

Step:-2 Select the roof and adjust the roof to 10 degrees by selecting it, as shown in the figure.

RESULT:-

The roof has been created successfully to the model in the Revit in detailed manner.
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
- Architecture plan must have walls, floors, and all the components placed within the building
- 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 to Separate them to architecture and structural plans.
INTRODUCTION:-
The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.
Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types. The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. Most projects include at least one floor plan.
PROCEDURE:-
Step:-1
Open the view tab, then click on the plan view tab, then select the floor plan. The floor plan will be displayed on the drawing sheet as shown below.

Step:-2
To see the structural plan, select the structural plan in the view tab.

RESULT:-
Separate architectural and structural plan is created.
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
- 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
- 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 plans
AIM:- To add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file.
INTRODUCTION:-
The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.
Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types.
The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. Most projects include at least one floor plan.
Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project.
PROCEDURE:-
Step:-1 Open the floor plan. Click on the annotate tab then select linear dimension and provide dimension to drawing in the floor plan.

Step:-2
Similarly shift to the structural plan and give dimension to the drawing.

RESULT:-
The dimensions are added to the structural floor plans and the architectural floor plans.
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.
INTRODUCTION:-
Create views on a project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process. When creating a project template, you can include sheets in the template. Start with a blank project file, and create the standard views and levels that each project should include. Leave the views empty, but assign standard names to them. To create a standard set of construction documents, create sheets using the desired title blocks. Add views to the sheets, using the desired viewport templates and view title types. Then save the empty project as a project template. When you create a project using this project template, all of the views and sheets are already created and listed in the Project Browser. As you start to draw the building model in the project views, the views on the sheets update automatically. This technique streamlines the project documentation process and maintains organizational standards.
PROCEDURE:-
Step:-1
Click on the view tab, then click on the sheet option in the sheet composition section, then new sheet dialog box will open as shown below. Select A4 metric sheet and click ok.


Step:-2
In the sheet template, insert first floor plan and second floor plan separately as shown below. Also, edit the Project name, sheet number etc all the necessary information.


RESULT:-
Sheet template is created from the view tab and adjusted the parameters on the sheet for adding appropriate views.
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 using the elevation tab.
INTRODUCTION:-
An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one view.
This is the most common view used to describe the external appearance of a building.
Each elevation is labelled in relation to the compass direction it faces, e.g. looking toward the north you would be seeing the southern elevation of the building.
PROCEDURE:-
Step:-1
First we click on the elevation option from the view toolbar.
Step:-2
Next the elevation from the east will be visible, as shown below.

Step:-3
Next the elevation from the south will be visible on the screen, as shown below.

Step:-4
Next the elevation from the North will be visible on the screen, as shown below.

Step:-5
Next the elevation from the West will be visible on the screen, as shown below.

7. Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction
AIM:- To produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction.
INTRODUCTION:-
Sectional views reveal hidden details in a mechanical drawing.
These views assume that a cutting plane has removed portions of the object represented by the drawing, displaying the appropriate section of the interior.
Sectional views are used in engineering and architectural drawings.
They help civil engineers, architects, and airplane designers communicate their ideas to their peers.
PROCEDURE:-
Step:-1
Click on the section option from the view toolbar, as shown below.

The section view of the bed room as shown in the below figure.

Step:-2
Next we produce the section view of the Toilet room as shown in the below figure.

Step:-3
Next we produce the section view of the kitchen room as shown in the below figure.

Step:-4
Next we produce the section view of the Living room as shown in the below figure.

RESULT:-
Created the section views of a model in the Revit in detailed manner
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.
INTRODUCTION:-
The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types.
The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. Most projects include at least one floor plan. Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project.

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 living room, dining room and bedroom in the sheets separately.
INTRODUCTION:-
Camera View is really useful in Revit.
They allow us to view what we would actually see if we were standing at any given location in our design.
This can be invaluable for both understanding and communicating the nature of a space before we go to the expensive lengths of actually constructing it for real.
PROCEDURE:-
Step:-1
First we take the sheet and name it as A-501.
Next go to the floor plan and place the camara in the bed room, and the camera view of kitchen will be shown below.

Step:-2
Next we take the sheet and name it as A-502.
Next go to the floor plan and place the camara in the Kitchen room, and the camera view of bedroom will be shown below.

Step:-3
Next we take the sheet and name it as A-503.
Next go to the floor plan and place the camara in the Living room, and the camera view of Living room will be shown below.

RESULT:-
Created a camera-specific view or a 3D view in living room, dining room and bedroom in the sheets separately.
