3D Creation of Celing, Roof, Architectural plan, Structural plan, Sectional view, Elevation view and Camera specific view for a house plan using REVIT
1.1) 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 a Ceiling
Procedure:- Go to Architecture open ceiling tab
now go to Ceiling
select Automatic Ceiling and select all room where you want to create ceiling.
ceiling will be created
3D view of ceiling
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
Procedure:- Go to Architecture, open roof and select option Roof by foot print
and select pick line option and select roof plane and tick the green button
To change slope of the roof, type "un" that means units, select slope and change to decimal degrees and apply.
roof slope changed to 10 degrees
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 Ground floor level plan and first floor level plan
Procedure :- Go to floor plans in Project browser select ground floor plan
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 :-Structural plan with walls, floors and windows
Procedure :- type "VG" (visibility graphics) and untick all those you don't want to see, click apply and ok.
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
Aim :-To create grid lines and annotate with reference to longitudinal and transverse grids
Procedure :-Go to Architecture and go to Grids
now create grid lines along horizontal and vertical walls
edit longitudinal grids and transverse grids
now go to Annotate and select Linear dimension and annotate all dimensions with reference to grids
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
type "VG" visual graphics and hide all Architectural componants and apply and click ok.
give annotations with reference to grids.
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
Go to View tab open sheets, if you want to change go to load, a window will pop up, from US imperial select Title blocks and select required title and click ok.
to change the logo on the template click on the sheet template and go to edit family and go to
insert --> image -->select a logo from saved pics
go to modify and select load into project then select option overwrite existing version and parameters.
in the Property browser edit all project information. Revit Automatically changes the parameters, you can edit on proerty browser or on Template.
After you create a template go to view and select view, that option places the view on to the sheet.
select required view and select option add view to the sheet.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN
FIRST FLOOR PLAN
6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West
East Elevation
North Elevation
South Elevation
West Elevation
7) Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction
Aim :- To Produce section cut through each room
Procedure :- Go to View tool bar and select section
- now take a section of each room and click on the section icon to see the view
Section at the living room
Realistic view
section at dining room
Realistic view
Section at bedroom
Realistic view
section at other bedroom
realistic view
Section at toilet
Realistic view
longitudinal section of plan
8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser
Aim :- classifying views
Procedure :- in the Project browser you can see views icon
click on "view all"
to see Structural plans, Floor plans, Ceiling plans, 3Dviews, elevations and sections
you can see ceiling plans from project browser
you can also rename your views for better understanding.
elevation
section
9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets
NORTH - SOUTH ELEVATION
EAST -WEST 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.
Aim:- Create a camera specific view
Procedure:- Go to Default 3D view on tool bar and select camera
now put camera where ever you want to see the 3D view. now go to visual style and choose realistic to view the realistic view of that room.
living room camera view
dining room 3D view
bedroom 3D view
