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:

Model a ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level.

Procedure:

Open the week 3 project and now we have to create a roof for first floor level.

Click architectural tab and select ceiling tool

After selecting the tool, click the pick line.

Select the exterior walls When the walls are joint for creation.

The region can be appeared as a figure shown below

And click ok while segment walls are joined.

The creation of ceiling selects properties and gives the thickness for concrete.

And go to 3D view, and shown in the figure.

Result:

Based on the project work for ceiling to the first floor has been created.

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:

Using the adjustment toolbars appearing on screen adjust the roof slope to 10 degrees.

Procedure:

To create a roof for residential buildings.

We have to open the residential plan to create a roof using footprints.

Use the tab architectural tool for roofing.

Then select the pick point, to create a region for the roof.

And change the Unit to degree for slope a roof as given 10 degrees.

Result:

Finally, the boundaries of the roof are created.

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

Aim:

Create plan views for ground floor level and first floor level including architectural and structural plans.

Procedure:

Initially open the Revit file.

Select the view tab

Enter into plan view and our drafting was already exist in architectural view as shown in figure

A).

Then select structural plan view

In this view it can show only walls and floors this view named as structural Plan.

Ground floor structural view as shown below,

B).

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

Aim:

Using annotate toolbar add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and traverse created.

Procedure:

Go to the existing file to add a dimension.

And use the created model.

The plan views such as the architectural and structural plan view as used.

Then select annotation categories are choose from the annotate tab in the tool tab.

Then add the dimensions for the walls exterior and interior.

Architectural dimensions as shown in below

Finally for structural dimensions created as shown in the figure.

Result:

As per drawing dimensions are added into the architectural and structural plan.

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

Aim:

Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet view

Procedure:

Open the created model.

Need to open the view tab.

In the view tab select sheet for insert the plans

After select the sheet tab

Insert the plan and scale the plan to fit to sheet.

Then the required parameter is filled in the project as shown in the figure.

And the project details are added in the sheet were updated.

Result:

Thus, the sheet was created and the project information is updated.

6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at you're building from East, North, South, and West

Aim:

Using the elevation tab create the elevation views of building.

Procedure:

Go to Revit software open the file

Now we have to create an elevation view

Select from properties material select the elevation icon

And take a screen shot as four sides direction each view

And finally created east, west, north, south elevation as shown in figure.

Result:

Thus, the elevation of views east, west, north, south plan view created.

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

Aim:

Sections cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in transverse direction.

Procedure:

Go to created model.

And select the toolbar view

Click the section tab.

Need to across make line longitudinally cut the section

And transverse cut into the section view.

The created section is shown below.

Result:

The created section was shown as a plan view.

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

Aim:

Classify the views, plan view, section view, elevation view of documentation category.

Procedure:

Open the created Revit model

Then select the project browser in the work plane

It was classified views like plan view, elevation, section etc.

Those views are shown in the figure.

Result:

The classified views are shown by screen shot.

9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows

Aim:

Create multiple sheets as follows

Procedure:

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

Result:

Created the template sheet such as Architectural, structural and elevation.

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.
