Challenge

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 model a ceiling from the archietecture tab above the walls @ the first floor level.

INTRODUCTION :

The ceiling finish or product is attached to the ceiling battens under the roof framing and is generally a plasterboard of some form. Typically we see ceilings as the flat plane above us that hides the roof or floor framing.

Ceilings help create enclosure of and separation between spaces, they help to control the diffusion of light and sound around a room, and help prevent the passage of sound between rooms

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

  • First open the revit sofware, and select the ceiling option from the archietecture tool bar

STEP 2:

  • After selecting the ceiling option then selecting the each room one by one,
  • then the ceiling will be created as shown in fig.

STEP 3:

  • Here we can see the ceiling in 3 Dimensional view as shown in the below fig.

RESULT :

The Ceiling has been modeled successfully from the archietecture tab above the walls @ the first floor level.

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.

INTRODUCTION :

The roof is part of a building envelope which is the covering on the uppermost part of a building/home. It supported on the walls of the building. It provides for the protection against rain, snow, sunlight, extremes of temperature, and wind. It protects from the weather conditions

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

  • Open the Archietectural tool bar select the roof by footprint option as shown in below fig.

Step 2:

  • Next we select the roof and adjust the roof to 10 degrees by selecting it as shown in the fig,

STEP 3:

  • Roof as been created as shown in below

RESULT :

Roof has been created successfully to the model in the revit in detailed manner.

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 plan view for ground floor level and first floor level including all the walls , floors and components and to seperate them to archietectural and structural plan,.

INTRODUCTION :

  • Structural plan view is the default view when you start new template using structural template.
  • Most plan include atleast one structural plan , new structural plan created as you can add new levels of the new project. you can cfeate multiple structural plan view types,
  • the floor plan view is the default view in a new archietectural project.
  • most projects inculde atleast one floor plan
  • floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

  • First we drawn the archie tectural plans for first floor and second floor as shown.

STEP 2:

  • Next we have to draw the structural plan for first and second floor

RESULT :

Created Plan views for ground floor level and first floor level including walls , floors and components and seperate them into archietectural plan and structural plan.

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 add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file.

INTRODUCTION :

  • Structural plan view is the default view when you start new template using structural template.
  • Most plan include atleast one structural plan , new structural plan created as you can add new levels of the new project. you can cfeate multiple structural plan view types,
  • the floor plan view is the default view in a new archietectural project.
  • most projects inculde atleast one floor plan
  • floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

  • Here we drawn longitudinal and transverse grids to thearchietectural plans as shown below,
  • and dimensions to the archietectural plans

STEP 2:

  • Next we draw longitudinal and transverse grids to the structural plan as shown below,
  • and the dimensions to the structural plans

RESULT :

The Dimensiosn are added to the structural floor plan and srchietectural plan,

and the longitudinal and transverse grids are also created in project file.

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

INTRODUCTION :

A view template is a collection of view properties, such as view scale, discipline, detail level, and visibility settings. Use view templates to apply standard settings to views. View templates can help to ensure adherence to office standards and achieve consistency across construction document sets.

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

  • First we click on the sheet option from the view tool bar as shown below,
  • After clicking the sheet , the new tab will be visible on the screen,
  • In that new tab we select the A1 Metric then the sheet template will be displayed.

STEP 2:

  • In the sheet template we insert the first floor plan and second floor plan seperately as shown below,
  • Next edit th eproject name and sheet number as shown in the below fig.

RESULT :

Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet for adding appropriate views.

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

AIM :

To create a elevation views looking at your building from east , north , south and west using the elevation tab.

INTRODUCTION :

Elevation views are part of the default template in Revit Architecture. When you create a project with the default template, 4 elevation views are included: north, south, east, and west. It is in elevation views where you sketch level lines. For each level line that you sketch, a corresponding plan view is created.

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

  • First we click on the elevation option from the view tool bar as shown below ,

STEP 2:
