All the section views of each room have been created successfully
8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using the Properties browser
AIM:
To classify the different views to either design or documentation category using the Properties browser
INTRODUCTION:
Revit provides standard view types for 2D views and 3D views, such as floor plans, elevations, and sections. If desired, you can duplicate a view type and customize it to use certain settings or a particular view template. Custom view types allow you to apply consistent settings to new views quickly and easily.
A view type defines some graphics properties, such as a reference label and tags for elevations, callouts, or sections. It can also specify a view template to apply to a new view, and whether template updates should be applied to existing views.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1:
1. First we open the project browser, where we can see all the views and plans
2. The different types of views that are categorized as Structural plans, Floor plans, Ceiling plans, 3D views, Elevations, and sheets
Step 2:
1. Now we access all the plans and views one by one
2. To see the ground floor plan, go to Project browser expand the floor plan, and select the Ground floor plan
Step 3:
1. Next, we see the first-floor plan under the project browser
2. To see the first-floor plan, go to Project browser expand the floor plan, and select the First-floor plan
Step 4:
1. Next, we see the Roof plan under the project browser
2. To see the Roof plan, go to Project browser expand the floor plan, and select the Roof plan
Step 5:

All the views have been classified into different types using the project browser
9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows
a. A 101- Ground Floor Architecture Plan
b. A 102- First Floor Architecture Plan
c. A 103- Roof Plan
d. S 101- Ground Floor Structural Plan
e. S 102- First Floor Structural Plan
f. S 103- Roof Framing Plan
g. A-201- North-South Elevations
h. A-202- East-West Elevations
AIM:
To create the multiple sheets and produce the drawings in the sheets from the given drawing list
INTRODUCTION:
When creating a project template, we can include sheets in the template. Start with a blank project file, and create the standard views and levels that each project should include. Leave the views empty, but assign standard names to them.
To create a standard set of construction documents, create sheets using the desired title blocks. Add views to the sheets, using the desired viewport templates and view title types. Then save the empty project as a project template.
When we create a project using this project template, all of the views and sheets are already created and listed in the Project Browser. As we start to draw the building model in the project views, the views on the sheets update automatically.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1:
1. First we have to select the sheet option from the view toolbar
2. Go to the View tab and select the sheet option
3. After clicking the sheet option, a New sheet dialog box will open
4. We selected the Sheet file as A 8.5 x 11 vertical
Step 2:
1. After Selecting the sheet file, Rename the sheet and other project information
2. Now we have to produce all the drawings into the sheet
Step 3:
1. First we produce the Ground floor Architectural plan in the sheet template as A101 as shown in the figure below
2. Go to Project browser, select the Architectural ground floor plan and drag it into the sheet template
Step 4:
1. Next we produce the First-floor Architectural plan in the sheet template as A102 as shown in the figure below
2. Go to Project browser, select the Architectural First floor plan and drag it into the sheet template
Step 5:
1. Then we produce the Architectural Roof plan in the sheet template as A103 as shown in the figure below
2. Go to Project browser, select the Architectural Roof plan and drag it into the sheet template
Step 6:
1. Similarly now we have to produce structural plans for the sheet template
2. First we produce the Ground floor Structural plan in the sheet template as S101 as shown in the figure below
3. Go to Project browser, select the Structural ground floor plan and drag it into the sheet template
Step 7:
1. Next we produce the First-floor Structural plan in the sheet template as S102 as shown in the figure below
2. Go to Project browser, select the Structural First floor plan and drag it into the sheet template
Step 8:
1. Then, we produce the Structural Roof plan in the sheet template as S103 as shown in the figure below
2. Go to Project browser, select the Structural Roof plan and drag it into the sheet template
Step 9:
1. Now we have to insert South-North Elevation and East-west elevation into the sheet template
2. First we produce the South-North Elevation in the sheet template as A201 as shown in the figure below
3. Go to Project browser, select the south elevation and North elevation and drag it into the sheet template
Step 10:
1. Next we produce the East-west Elevation in the sheet template as A202 as shown in the figure below
3. Go to Project browser, select the East elevation and West elevation and drag it into the sheet template
RESULT:
Thus multiple sheets have been created and the drawings are produced into the sheet template as per the requirement
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:
To create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in each room and Produce into the sheet template
INTRODUCTION:
After creating the 3D model, we can place a camera by activating it from your ribbon, View tab, or Create panel. Click the small arrow near the 3D view, and click the camera button on the drop-down menu
After you define the camera, Revit will automatically open a new view. This view will show you what your camera sees. Mostly we need to modify the view. Make sure modify is active, click the view boundary. You will see the blue grips on the rectangle sides. You can resize the boundary by dragging the grip
PROCEDURE:
Step 1:
1. First we have to set the camera view in the floor plan as per the requirement
