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

 

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 proceed from the First Floor Level. Model a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level

INTRODUCTION : 

• In this Revit Architecture tutorial, I am going to show you how to create Ceiling elements both “Automatically” and by means of the “sketch method”.

TYPES OF DRAWING:

1. Creating Ceilings automatically
2. Creating Ceilings by Sketch
3. Aligning Suspended Ceiling Grids

     Just like Floors and Roofs, Revit Ceilings consist of 3D model geometry and non-graphical parametric data. They are created by use of the dedicated Ceiling tool. There are 2 methods of creating Ceilings- each with their own pros and cons, which I will explain at the end of the tutorial. To make this tutorial a little more realistic, I have created a simple building to which we can add some Ceiling elements…..

    If we take a look at this model from the side (using an Elevation View), you can see that it has 3 Levels. I have created a dedicated Level for the Ceiling Height….

Before we actually create any Ceilings, switch to a Ceiling Plan View…

 

PROCEDURE : 

• Open a new sheet and set units as feet and inchs,
• Taken the ceiling area by selecting use of project browser
• In above the tool bar, click the ceiling option and make the drawing 
• set into the floor plan using ceiling on project browser
• And use the sketch option or automatic option to draw the ceiling

 

      

• If you can use the sketch option please use a rectangle or line option to easy draw
• I can take rectangle option here and draw with rectangle in inner of the walls 

 

      

 

• After draw the ceiling, give the offset height of the celing if you want
• finally just click ok, and check into in 3d option. 

      

RESULT : 

 

           

 

           

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 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

INTRODUCTION : 

• Revit offers several methods of creating roofs. Choose the method that best meets the needs of your design. About Start and End Points for Extruded Roofs. 
• The extrusion of a roof can extend in either a positive or a negative direction along the plane perpendicular to the face of a solid component (such as a wall)
• Create roofs on any non-vertical faces of a mass using the Roof by Face tool. You can create roofs in a similar way that we created floors (refer to my previous blog on the Cadline Community.
• In the Type Selector, select a roof type. 
• Move the cursor to highlight a face.

PROCEDURE : 

• The process is little same like as ceiling procedure but here we have use the roof option
• open a new sheet and set units
• In the tool bar taken a roof option 
• we have to select the foot print in roof option

 

         

 

• And pick the same as automatic or sketch 
• As per the same i can take a sketch option for draw the roof
• After taken the rectangle option just draw in exterior wall 
• In the properties browser given the slope value as 10 degree.
• And click ok, 
• finally check the roof in 3d views

 

RESULT : 

 

                       

 

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 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

INTRODUCTION : 

• The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.. Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types

• The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. - Most projects include at least one floor plan.

• Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project.

PROCEDURE :  

   a. Architecture plan must have walls, floors, and all the components placed within the building

                                     

 

• Open the new sheet and set the unit
• set the levels 
• In the above tool bar pick the view option
• And taken the plan views in right side 

        

                          

• In the plan views they have some option just pick the floor plan 
• And click the edit option, set the architecture 
• And click ok, to view the architecture plan on screen  

 

  b. Structure plan must have details of only walls, floors, and columns:

• Same like as above option 
• Open the new sheet and set the unit
• set the levels 
• In the above tool bar pick the view option
• And taken the plan views in right side 

 

                      

 

• In the plan views they have some option just pick the structural plan 
• Automatically it can show the structural view in the plan

 

                             

RESULT : 

 

    a.) finally architectural view as been submitted   

 

          

 

     a.) finally structural view as been submitted   

 

          

 

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 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 : 

Grids in Revit?

• Grids are annotation elements that help organize your design. On the ribbon, click (Grid). Click Modify | Place Grid tab Draw panel and select a sketch option. Use (Pick Lines) to snap the grid to an existing line, such as a wall

PROCEDURE : 

• Same like as above option 
• Open the new sheet and set the unit

• In the tool bar pick the modify option

 

                    

 

• And they have many option to pick in modify tool bar
• We can taken the linear option to draw the dimenstion
• just drag the one wall to another wall for show the dimension 
• Give the dimensions for separate separate individual rooms

 

             

 

RESULT : 

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

                

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 from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views

INTRODUCTION : 

•  A construction document set (also called a drawing set or a sheet set) consists of several sheets. Topics in this section. About Sheets. In Revit, you create a sheet view for each sheet in the construction document set.
• You can then place multiple drawings or schedules on each sheet view.

Add sheet :

• Open the project.
• Click View tab Sheet Composition panel (Sheet).
• Select a title block, as follows: In the New Sheet dialog, select a title block from the list. ...
• Enter information in the title block of the sheet.
• Add views to the sheet.
• Change the default number and name that Revit assigned to the sheet.

 

PROCEDURE : 

• Open the new sheet and set the unit
• set the levels 
• select the sheet option in the above tool bars.

 

     

 

• Edit the sheet size as what you want like ( A0, A1, A2, A3, A4 ).
• I can take the A2 sheet 
• And pick the floor plan and drag into the sheet.
• And edit the size of the picture use the scale option in properties box.

 

RESULT : 

      

 

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

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

AIM : 

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

INTRODUCTION : 

• Sectional views reveal hidden details in a mechanical drawing.

• These views assume that a cutting plane has removed portions of the object represented by the drawing, displaying the appropriate section of the interior.     

• Sectional views are used in engineering and architectural drawings.

• They help civil engineers, architects, and airplane designers communicate their ideas to their peers.

   

PROCEDURE : 

• Open the new sheet and set the unit
• set the levels 
• taken the section option in above the tool bar.

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

AIM : 

       To Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows

INTRODUCTION : 

• When a view is too large to fit on a single sheet, you can create multiple sheets for the view, divide the view into parts, and show one part on each sheet. You can also use this technique when a view is too tall or wide for a sheet, and you want to show parts of the view next to each other on the same sheet.
• Add a Sheet
  1. Open the project.
  2. Click View tab Sheet Composition panel (Sheet).
  3. Select a title block, as follows: In the New Sheet dialog, select a title block from the list. ...
  4. Enter information in the title block of the sheet.
  5. Add views to the sheet.
  6. Change the default number and name that Revit assigned to the sheet.

• Open the new sheet and set the unit
• set the levels 
• use the sheet option in views on tool bar
• set new sheet and modify the size
• Here we can also set the name and number of the sheet individually
• Here we have 8 number of different sheet want to create as followed by the given questions

 

                

• In the project browser we can see the sheet options and alredy created sheets are shown here
• just select the one by one sheet 
• First we can taken the A-101 - ground floor architecture plan sheet and drag the architecture floor plan into the sheet and modify the size of the diagram.
• Next we can taken the A-102 - first floor architecture plan sheet and drag the architecture first floor plan into the sheet and modify the size of the diagram.
