1. Based on the project saved from Week 3, Modeling a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level :

AIM :

To Create a Ceiling above the walls at the first-floor level of the project saved from Week 3.

INTRODUCTION :

  • In Revit, we can create the 2D layout and 3D model of the building.
  • Here, we can add the architectural elements such as FLOORS, WALLS, DOORS, WINDOWS and other architectural elements with desired colors, types and dimensions.
  • We can also convert the 2D layout to the 3D Model by changing it into the Default 3D view.
  • Like we discussed before, we can make LEVEL LINES such as Ground floor level, First floor level etc and the GRID LINES for the building models.
  • We can also make the created 3D model into the various visual styles as desired, the visual styles such as 2D wireframe, shaded, conceptual, Realistic etc.
  • The view cube plays the major in the 3D modelling of the buildings, because it helps to see the created model in all the 360 degree angles.
  • In revit we can see the rooms created inside the 3D model from the paricular hight and angle with the help of CAMERA tool in the view tool bar.
  • The main TWO TABS which are used to CREATE and EDIT the 3D models are "Project browser" and "Properties" .

PROCEDURE:

  • First the LEVELS of the building should be created from "Ground level" to the "roof level" before starting of the building layout.
  • Before start creating the layout of the building, the Units of the project should be set as per the project requirements.
  • The setting of the units are done by selecting MANAGE TAB < PROJECT UNITS and by selecting appropriate units as required.
  • Then the layout should be start to create from the Ground level by creating the FLOOR of 4" with the floor creating tool of the dimension of 40' x 60'.
  • Followed by the walls are created above the floor , by selecting ARCHITECTURE TAB< WALL and mentioning the wall height as 10' and wall offset as 9" for exterior wall.
  • After creating the Exterior wall, the Interior walls (partition walls) are needs to be created with the offset values of 4.5" as desired sizes of rooms needed inside the bluiding.
  • Then the AREAS of the rooms should be tagged with the help of the ROOM TAG tool from the ARCHITECTURE TAB < ROOM or AREA.
  • By picking the area inside the room, the area of the room will be tagged along with inner area and the name or details of the ROOMS can be edited as desired .
  • Then the Doors and Windows are then allowed to add in the walls upto a certain height such as the WINDOWS are need to be placed over the sill level means at the height of 3' from the floor level.
  • Likwise the DOORS are needs to be placed over floor level to the lintel level means upto 7', the height and the width of the doors varies depend upon the requirement of the places.
  • The MAIN DOOR placed in the entrance are 4' x 7', DOORS used for the rooms are 3' x 7' and the Doors used for the Rest rooms are 2'6" x 7'.
  • Likewise the WINDOWS height and widths are varies as desired, these DOORS and WINDOWS are selected and placed in wall by clicking the walls.
  • The "Doors" are added to the created layout, by selecting the "ARCHITECTURE TAB" in the tool bar and select Door < Load family < US < Door (family).
  • Likewise the "Windows" are added to the created layout, by select the "ARCHITECTURE TAB" in the tool bar and select Windows < Load family < US < Window (family).
  • After loading the required DOORS and WINDOWS, it is inserted inside the file from ARCHITECTURE TAB < COMPONENT < PLACE COMPONENT.
  • Followed by the DOORS and WINDOWS, the " Furnitures " are need to be loaded and placed at the required place.
  • The "Furnitures" are added into the created layout, by selecting the "ARCHITECTURE TAB" in the tool bar and select Component < Load family < US < Furnitures (family).
  • Then the PLUMBING FIXTURES and the WATER CLOSETS are addded at the desired places such as REST ROOMS and KITCHEN or as required.
  • Likewise all the ELEMENTS are placed or added inside the building model from the COMPONENT TOOL from the ARCHITECTURE TAB and placing it in the desired places.
  • Here the ceiling is starts to be created at the First floor level from the CEILING Option in the Architectural Tab at the offset of 10' from ground level.
  • Then the Created Ground floor will be copied and pasted over the First floor level, after coping the Ground floor model PASTE < PLACE AT THE LEVEL SELECTED.
  • Before start pasting, make sure that the First floor level line is selected.
  • Followed by, the Roof of the First floor model should be created by changing the 3D model to the 2D layout and clicking the Roof plan view from the PROJECT BROWSER, then the roof will be created over the exterior walls.
  • We can view the interiors of the building by fixing the CAMERA inside the 3D model and saving the view as desired name and view whenever required.
  • It is done by VIEW TAB < 3D VIEW < CAMERA .

RESULT :

  • Here in the result we can see the CEILING is created over the First floor level at the offset of 10' from the ground level.
  • Also can see the different types of architectural elements are created in the model.

8. Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to Documentation category using Properties browser :

AIM :

To classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser.

INTRODUCTION :

  • In Revit, we can create the 2D layout and 3D model of the building.
  • Here, we can add the architectural elements such as FLOORS, WALLS, DOORS, WINDOWS and other architectural elements with desired colors, types and dimensions.
  • We can also convert the 2D layout to the 3D Model by changing it into the Default 3D view.
  • Like we discussed before, we can make LEVEL LINES such as Ground floor level, First floor level etc and the GRID LINES for the building models.
  • We can also make the created 3D model into the various visual styles as desired, the visual styles such as 2D wireframe, shaded, conceptual, Realistic etc.
  • The view cube plays the major in the 3D modelling of the buildings, because it helps to see the created model in all the 360 degree angles.
  • In revit we can see the rooms created inside the 3D model from the paricular hight and angle with the help of CAMERA tool in the view tool bar.
  • The main TWO TABS which are used to CREATE and EDIT the 3D models are "Project browser" and "Properties" .

PROCEDURE:

  • First the LEVELS of the building should be created from "Ground level" to the "roof level" before starting of the building layout.
  • Before start creating the layout of the building, the Units of the project should be set as per the project requirements.
  • The setting of the units are done by selecting MANAGE TAB < PROJECT UNITS and by selecting appropriate units as required.
