3D Creation of Ceiling, Roof, Architectural plan, Structural plan, Sectional view, Elevation view and Camera specific view for a house plan using REVIT
AIM : To create a ceiling at the first floor level
INTRODUCTION : Ceilings reside above the walls. It is created using a ceiling tool at a specified distance from the level. To place ceiling, walls are selected or sketched the boundaries. There are two types of ceiling: Basic ceilings and Compound ceilings. Basic ceiling has no thickness and the compound ceiling has many layers with thickness. Structure and thickness of the ceiling can be modified in Revit software.
PROCEDURE :
- Open week 3 project
- Go to level 1
- Select ceiling (2'x4' ACT System) from the architectural tab and then select automatic ceiling
- Select the rooms and the ceiling is created at 9' height
RESULT : Ground Floor and First Floor
Que no. 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 create a roof with 10 degree slope above the ceiling
INTRODUCTION: The roof is a top covering of a building. In Revit software, the roof can be modified like change its shape, creating openings, defining slope, adding overhang value for eaves, adding soffits, fascia, gutters, etc. Revit offers several methods to create roofs such as
- Roof by footprint
- Roof by extrusion
- Roof by face
PROCEDURE :
- Go to level 2 on the first-floor level
- Click on the roof by footprint in the architectural tab
- Select the boundary line and pick the lines
- Press ok
- Select the roof and "add points" at some points for creating a sloped roof
- Click on modify sub-elements and click on the points added
- Edit it by adding a slope of 10 degree
- Press okay
RESULT :
Que no. 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 and first floor level and,
To separate components to architectural and structural plan
STEP 1:
- Open revit
- Open project that you're working on
STEP 2:
- Go to project browser then click on floor plans
- Rename the floor plans visible under floor plans
- Level 1 to ground floor > level 2 to first floor and last level to the roof and so on
STEP 3:
- Architecture plan views of the project are ready
- To access the architectural plan view of the ground floor go to floor plans and click on the ground floor
Ground floor plan
- similarly again go to the properties browser.
- click on the first-floor plan.
first-floor plan
- To access architectural plan view of first floor then go to floor plans and click on first floor
STEP 5: STRUCTURAL PLAN VIEWS
- In case if there are no structural plan views available in the structural plans in the project browser follow the below steps:
- Go to view tab > plan views
- Then structural plan and then select the plan views missing from the view section and click ok
RESULT :
- Architectural plan views are created to the project
- Structural plan views are created to the project
Que no.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 in relation to grids. Overall dimensions are sufficient for architectural plans
- Open revit
- Open project that you're working on
STEP 2:
- Click on Architecture toolbar > grid tool
STEP 3:
- Draw horizontal and vertical grids at 10' difference
- Make sure grids align with the site plan
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
Que no 5 Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views.
STEP 1:
- Open revit software.
- Open project that you're working on
STEP 2 :
- View tab > new sheet
- Select the desired sheet type
STEP 3:
- Edit the title block in the properties browser
- Also add all the views in the sheet
RESULT :
- Sheet template is prepared and all the parameters are entered in that template
Que 6. Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West.
STEP 1:
- Open revit
- Open project that you're working on
STEP 2 :
- Go to project browser and select the required view from the drop down list
STEP 3:
- Click on elevations
- Now from drop down select south elevation
STEP 4:
- Click on elevations
- Now from drop down select north elevation
STEP 5:
- Click on elevations
- Now from drop down select east elevation
STEP 6:
- Click on elevations
- Now from drop down select west elevation
RESULT :
- All the elevation views are created.
Ques 7. Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction
-
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1:
- Open revit
- Open project that you're working on
STEP 2 :
- Click on view tab > then on section tool
Que no. 8 Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser
STEP 1:
- Open revit software.
- Open project that you're working on
STEP 2 :
- View tab > new sheet
- Select the desired sheet type
STEP 3:
- Edit the titleblock details
- Now add groundfloor plan view to the sheet
Ground floor plan
- similarly again go to the properties browser.
- click on the first-floor plan.
first-floor plan
- To access architectural plan view of first floor then go to floor plans and click on first floor
- Click on elevations
- Now from drop down select south elevation
STEP 4:
- Click on elevations
- Now from drop down select north elevation
STEP 5:
- Click on elevations
- Now from drop down select east elevation
STEP 6:
- Click on elevations

STEP
- Now add ground floor plan view to the sheet
- Place it on the sheet A 103
STEP 5:
- Follow the same procedure for all the views
- Section views on sheet A 112
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.
