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

AIM:

3D Creation of Ceiling, 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 architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level.

Introduction:

• The creation of ceiling within Revit is a very similar process to that of floors and roofs, you can let Revit do most of the work and guess where you want the boundaries to be, or you can enter sketch mode and literally sketch out the boundary of the ceiling yourself.
• The main thing to remember is to be in the correct ceiling plan view before you start, Revit will let you place ceiling in floor plan views but I would not advise this as you cannot readily see what you have created.

Procedure: -

Step: -1.

• First, we open the Revit software and select the ceiling option from the architecture toolbar.

Step: -2.

• After selecting the ceiling option, then select each room one by one
• Then the ceiling will be created, as shown below.

Step: -3.

• Her we can see the ceiling in 3D view as shown below.

RESULT:

The Ceiling has been modeled successfully from the architecture tab above the walls at 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:

• Roof, covering of the top of a building serving to protect against rain, snow, sunlight, wind and extremes of temperature.
• Conical thatched roofs are a good example of this type and are still widely used in the rural areas of Africa and elsewhere.
• Thicker branches and timbers eventually came to be used to span a roof with clay or some other relatively impermeable substance pressed into the interstice’s b/w them.
• Gabled and flat roofs were possible with these materials with the invention of brick and cut stone for building the basic roof forms of the dome and vault appeared.

Procedure:

Step: -1.

• Open the architecture toolbar, and select the roof by footprint options as shown below.

Step: -2.

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

Step-3.

• The roof has been created, as shown below.

RESLUT:

The 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

1. 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 views for ground floor level and first floor level including all the walls, floors and components., And 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.

• Finally, the elements are aligned to the different level, as shown below.

RESULT:

Created plan views for ground floor level and first floor level including all the walls, floors and components, and separated them to architecture and structural plans.

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

1. 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
2. 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 floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file.

Introduction:

• The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.
