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
Step 1: Select Ceiling Option from the Architecture tab.
Step 2: Draw the boundaries or pick the boundaries of the ceiling and select ok.
Step 3: To Change the Ceiling type select the Ceiling and Click edit type.
Step 4: Click on Edit in the structure to Edit the Structure and material of the floor and click OK.
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
Step 1: Select Roof Option from the Architecture tab.
Step 2: Draw the boundaries or pick the boundaries of the ceiling and select ok.
Step 3: To Change the Ceiling type select the Ceiling and Click edit type.
Step 4: Click on Edit in the structure to Edit the Structure and material of the floor and click OK.
Step 5: Enter Slope value of 10 in Properties panel.
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
Step 1: Select the Column Option from the Structure tab and Place the column with the required size in the required Position in alignment with the Architectural Plan.
Architectural Plan:
Ground Floor-
First Floor Plan-
Structural Plan:
4) Using the annotate toolbar add dimensions to all the walls and floors concerning 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 and about grids. Overall dimensions are sufficient for architectural plans
b. The Structure plan dimensions must include details on the position of all the walls and interior walls concerning grids. Locate all the framing components of the building concerning a fixed point using Structural plans
5) Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views
Step 1: Select the Sheet option from the view tab.
Step 2: Select Sheet size in the Dialog Box and Click OK.
Step 3: Edit the Project Details in the Sheet or Use the Project Information option from the Manage Tab.
6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West
South Elevation:
West Elevation:
North Elevation:
East Elevation:
7) Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction
Step 1: Select The section option from the View Tab.
Step 2: Draw a Section line throughout the plan.
8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either the Design or Documentation category using the Properties browser
9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows
Add additional sheets based on the sections created in your Revit file
Step 1: Switch to Sheet using Project Browser.
Step 2: Right-click on the View and Click on Add View or Drag and Drop the View into the sheet to add View into the Sheet
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.
Step 1: Switch to Sheet using Project Browser.
Step 2: Right-click on the 3D View and Click on Add View or Drag and Drop the 3D View into the sheet to add View into the Sheet
