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

& separate them to architecture and structural plans.

INTRODUCTION :

Plan view - A plan view gives you an entirely different perspective of the building you have designed. It's the view of the home or building from above and, usually, with the roof removed.

There are four types of plan views in Revit

1. Floor plan
2. Reflected ceiling plans
3. structural floor plans
4. Area plans

Architectural Plans - To put it simply, architectural plans are the overall design of a building. In addition to the design, they offer notes with detailed specifications regarding important components to the plan such as materials that will be used, area calculations, and more.

Structure Plans - Structural drawings, often referred to as "blueprints" or "plans," are detailed illustrations that depict the design and specification of a building's structural components. These drawings provide a comprehensive layout of how the structure will be constructed, from its foundation to its roof.

PROCEDURE :

• Open Revit from the desktop
• Click on open tab
• Select Revit project 4 file
• Click on view tool
• Click on plan view
• Click on floor plan
• Click ok
• Opened Floor plan level 1

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

AIM : To add using annotate toolbar add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file

INTRODUCTION :

Annotate toolbar - You can add additional information to your drawing by adding text notes. They are annotation elements which means that their size remains constant on the print and scales automatically with the scale of the drawing.

The annotate toolbar in Revit has several panels, including -

Dimensions, Details, Text, color, symbols

Levels/ Grids - Revit Levels and Grids are really the skeleton of building projects. Typically Levels in Revit are used to indicate the locations of floors, foundations, and the roof of a building in section and elevation views. More recent versions of Revit include Levels in 3D views. Grids are used to host columns and walls.

PROCEDURE :

• Open Revit from the desktop
• Click on open tab
• Select Revit project 4 file
• Click on Annotate tool
• Click on aligned dimension
• Click on Architecture tool
• Click on Grid
• Click on pick line
• Select on boundaries wall (external , internal)
• Rename the grids

RESULT :

Added dimensions annotate toolbar in Architecture plan view

Added dimensions annotate toolbar in Structure plan view
