3D Creation of Celing, Roof, Architectural plan, Structural plan, Sectional view, Elevation view and Camera specific view for a house plan using REVIT

Question: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: To create ceiling for ground floor

Step :1) Architecture > Ceiling >Sketch ceiling > Draw profile " First floor level"

Step :2) Draw profile >pick wall (inside line) > Opening for stair > Finish edit mode " green tick"

Result:) Ceiling layout was created for ground floor

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

Aim: Creating a roof for first floor (2 level roof)

Step 1:) Architecture > Roof > Roof by footprint

Step 2:) Draw > Slope to 20 deg ( for 2 step roof)

Step 3:) Draw Flat roof back portion

Result : First floor roof was created

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

Aim : Archiecture & Structural plans

Step 1:) Ground floor plan view ( Architectural)

Step 2:) First floor plan view ( Architectural)

Step 3:) Second floor plan view ( Architectural)

Step 4:) Roof plan view ( Architectural)

Step 5:) Ground floor plan view ( Structural)

Step 6:) First floor plan view ( Structural)

Step 7:) Second floor plan view ( Structural)

Step 8:) Roof plan view ( Structural)

Step 8:) Architectural & Structural plans created

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

Aim: Add dimension to architectural & structural plans w.r.t grid lines

Step 1:) Ground floor plan Architectural

Step 2:) First floor plan Architectural

Step 3:) Ground floor plan Structural

Step 4:) First floor plan Structural

Result : Dimensions added in architectural & structural plans

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

Aim: To create a sheet template

Step 1:) Architecture > View > Sheet

Step 2:) New Sheet > Select Title block >Ok

Step 3:) Drag ground floor view & add to sheet

Result: Sheet tab with ground floor layout was created

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

Aim: To create elevation views

Step:1) View > Elevation > Place on selected side of building

Step:2) North side elevation

Step:3) South side elevation

Step:4) East side elevation

Step:5) West side elevation

Result:) Elevations for 4 sides created

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

Aim: To create section view

Step:1)View > Section

Step:2) Section > draw section line

Step:3) Section of bedroom & kitchen

Step:4) Section of Kitchen, Stair & Living room

Result : Section views created

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

Aim: Classify various views from property browser

Step 1:) Structural Plan view

Step 2:) Floor Plan view

Step 3:) Ceiling Plan view

Step 4:) 3D view

Step 5:) Elevations

Step 6:) Sections

Step:7) Doucuments - Sheets & schedules

Result; project browser classifications were reviewed

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

Result: Sheet layout for various view are created

Question: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.

Aim: To create 3D view sheets

Step1:) Drag 3D view to sheet created

Step 2;) 3D Views

Result: Sheets created for drafting
