Answer:

Select ceiling option from the first floor level, and then drawn a boundary by line option

Now the ceiling is visible in 3D view

Question 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

Answer:

First select the boundary for roof

Then roof created

Select the roof and changed the slope to 10 degree

Question 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

Answer:

First select view option then plan view

Then edit type and click ok

Finally Ground Floor Architectural plan is visible. it contains all components in Ground floor.

Now using same view option , choose structural plan and select Ground floor.

Now ground floor Structural plan is visible.

Select edit type click ok

Now First floor Architectural plan is visible.

Now use view option , choose structural plan and select first floor

Now First floor structural plan is visible.

Question 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 plans

Answer:

Added the dimensions to Architectural plan

Added the dimensions to Structural plan

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

Answer:

Use view tab option and select A1 metric then ok

Now sheet created

In property browser floor plan, Drag the Ground Floor into the sheet & Changed the sheet name.

Then Scale size changed to fit into the sheet, this is how the sheet created & adjusting the parameters.

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

Answer: Using the Elevation tab, East west north south views are created

East view

West view

North View

South view

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

Cross section names are renamed to hall, master bedroom & bedroom.

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

Answer: whatever i created, It will show on property browser.. Structural plan views, floor plan views, 3D view, Elevation views, section views etc.

Question 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

Add additional sheets based on the sections created in your Revit file

Answer:

All the sheets are created..
