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 architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level.

INTRODUCTION:-

• The creation of Ceilings within Revit is a very similar process to that of Floors and Roofs- ie you can let Revit do most of the work and "gress" 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 Connect Ceiling Plan View before you start. Revit will let you place Ceilings in Floor Plan

PROCEDURE:-

• OPEN the plan project from week 3 i.e residential building 1
• The project from week 3 is as below shown;

• for making of ceiling to the level 2 , we have go to the ceiling view of level 2 which is in the properties browser window as shown below

• then, we  select the ceiling option from the architecture toolbar.

a

• after that, click on separate room which is in the plan , ceiling them separately as there is AUTOMATIC CEILING option is already involked
• the selected room for placing of ceiling are as below;

 

• the properties window shown whole properties of the ceiling including the height offset from 1  ,in this case we are having 8' offset from level 1
• you can  give the offset height of the celing if you want

 

RESULT : -

The ceiling for the first-floor level has been created successfully for the residential building.

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. Using the adjustment toolbars appearing on-screen adjust the roof slope to 10 degrees

INTRODUCTION : 

 

• A roof is a top covering of a building, including all materials and constructions necessary to support it on the walls of the building or uprights, protecting against rain, snow, sunlight, extremes of temperature, and wind. A roof is part of the building envelope. 
• In Revit, there are different methods to design a roof (i.e., Roof by footprint, Roof by Extrusion, Roof by face, etc). It creates a roof using the building footprint to define its boundaries

PROCEDURE:-

• Go to the Architectural tab, and select the roof option
• It will display different methods to create the roof 
• Select the Roof by footprint option from the architectural toolbar

• After Selecting the Roof by footprint option, it will display the modify tool tab 
• Select the pick line option and select the exterior lines of the walls as shown in the figure below 

• the properties of created roof is shown as in properties window
• initially the slope is  in the form of feet and inches, so we have change it to DEGREE by using UNIT dialogue box
• procedure as follows-go to the unit by using MANAGE TAB or by just type UN to involked the unit command - go to the slope and change it to DEGREE

• the created roof has by default slope as 36.87 after changing the slope unit to degree, as shown as below

 

• the elevation view of roof is as below

• the elevation view of roof is as below

 

• Now we have to adjust the slope to 10 degrees as per the given requirement 
• go to the properties window where we have option as SLOPE  to change the value of slope
• so we have to change it to 10 degree to form a slightly slanted roof 

 

• the elevation view of roof is as below
•  we can see the difference between the 36.87 degree and 10 degree slope  roof by comparing two elevations views

• the elevation view of roof is as below
• below is the roof of slope having 10 degree inclination

 

RESULT:-

• The creation of roof by using architectural tab is done

 

 

• The roof has been created successfully above the ceiling and the slop has been adjusted 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 plan views for ground floor level and first-floor level and separate them into Architectural and Structural plans 

INTRODUCTION:

Revit offers different templates for Architectural, Structural, and MEP engineers to work easily based on the preloaded settings in the templates. When we open the Architectural Template, it will consist of both architectural and structural tabs.

PROCEDURE:-

a) ARCHITECTURAL PLANS:-

• First, we have to draw the architectural plans for the ground floor level and first-floor level
• We have already created a plan that consists of ceiling and roof
• Go to the View tab, and select the Plan views option

•  First we select the Floor plan option and click Ok

•  Now we can see the architectural plans of the ground floor level and first-floor level as shown in the figure below

ARCHITECTURAL PLAN OF LEVEL 1 i.e ground floor:-

 

ARCHITECTURAL PLAN OF LEVEL 2 i.e first floor:-

  

 

b) STRUCTURAL  PLANS:-

• Now we have to switch the views from architectural to structural view
• Go to the View tab and select the Plan views option
• Select the Structural plan option from the Plan views section

• select the one by one levels or floor to make a structural views 

• Select the levels that we want to view the structural plans
• Select the levels as the Ground floor, First floor, and Roof i. e level 1,2,3 respectively
• After Selecting the levels, Click ok
• It will show the structural views of all the levels that we selected

 

1. STRUCTURAL PLAN OF LEVEL 1 i.e ground floor :-

2. STRUCTURAL PLAN OF LEVEL 2 i.e first floor :-

3. STRUCTURAL PLAN OF LEVEL 3 i.e ROOF:-

      

RESULT:

The plan views for both architectural and structural floor plan levels have been created successfully

 

 

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 concerning the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file

INTRODUCTION:

The Dimension tool lets you place permanent dimensions on components in your project or family. We can choose from aligned, horizontal, vertical, angular, radial, or arc length permanent dimensions.

 

PROCEDURE:-

1. Architectural Plans:-

• Go to Project browser and select the ground floor plan i.e level 1 plan
• Then go to Annotate tab and select the aligned dimension tool or linear tool

• By using the aligned dimension tool, place the dimensions according to the grids 
• Create horizontal and transverse dimensions for separate rooms as shown in the figure below

 

ARCHITECTURAL VIEW OF LEVEL 1 (GROUND FLOOR) PLAN :-

(WIREFRAME AND REALISTIC VIEW)

• Similarly add the dimensions to the first-floor plan as well using the aligned dimension tool
  
  

ARCHITECTURAL VIEW OF LEVEL 2 (FIRST FLOOR) PLAN :-

(WIREFRAME AND REALISTIC VIEW)

 

• For roof  (level 3) architectural plan 
• Go to Annotate tab and select the aligned dimension tool or linear tool
• give all dimensions to the selected same plan i.e level 3 plan 

ARCHITECTURAL VIEW OF LEVEL 3 (ROOF PLAN ) PLAN :-

(WIREFRAME AND REALISTIC VIEW)

 

 

 

 

2. Structural Plans:-

 

• Now , for structural plans go to Project browser and Expand the Structural views
• Now select the  level 1 of the structural plan by double-clicking it
• Select the aligned dimension tool and add the dimensions for the structural ground floor plan
• Place the dimensions horizontally and transversely as shown in the figure belo

 

STRUCTURAL VIEW OF LEVEL 1 PLAN :-

(WIREFRAME AND REALISTIC VIEW)

\

•  Now we have to add dimensions to the first-floor plan for Structural views
• Select the first-floor plan in the structural views by double-clicking it
• Place the dimension horizontally and transversely concerning grids as shown in the figure 

•  Now we have to add dimensions to the Structural Roof plan
• Select the Roof plan in the structural views by double-clicking it
• Place the dimension horizontally and transversely concerning grids as shown in the figure

RESULT:

• The dimensions are successfully added to the Architectural floor plans concerning grids
• The dimensions are successfully added to the structural floor plans concerning 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 from the view tab & adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views.

INTRODUCTION: 

 A construction document set (also called a drawing set or a sheet set) consists of several sheets. 

In Revit, we create a sheet view for each sheet in the construction document set. We can then place multiple drawings or schedules on each sheet view.

PROCEDURE:-

•  First we have to select the sheet option from the view toolbar
•  Go to the View tab and select the sheet option 

         

• After clicking the sheet option, a New sheet dialog box will open
• Load the sheets from the Libraries (Libraries > US > Title blocks)
• Load the required sheet as per the requirement

• After loading the sheets into the Revit Model, select the sheet that we want to open
• We selected the Sheet file as E 34*44 HORIZONTAL

• After Selecting the sheet, it will appear on the screen
• In the sheet template, we insert the ground floor and first-floor plan separately

• You can edit that titleblock for any purpose 

• finally add a views to the sheet for presentation purpose 

RESULT:

  The Sheet template from the view tab has been successfully created with appropriate views

               

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

 

AIM:

To create the elevation views such as North, South, East, 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.

We create additional exterior elevation views and interior elevation views to look at a project from different locations 

 PROCEDURE:-

• Go to the View tab and select the elevation option 
• By default it shows two options i.e., Elevation and Framing Elevation
• We select Create elevation view 

• After Selecting the Create Elevation, place the elevation tags at the required positions
• We are placing that elevation tags at all the four directions as shown in the figure below

  

•  After placing the elevation tags, we can now see the different locations of views

EAST ELEVATION VIEW:

WEST ELEVATION VIEW:

NORTH ELEVATION VIEW:

SOUTH ELEVATION VIEW:

RESULTS:-

All the Elevation views have been created and placed successfully at different locations

EAST ELEVATION VIEW:

WEST ELEVATION VIEW:

NORTH ELEVATION VIEW:

SOUTH ELEVATION VIEW:

 

7) Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction

 

AIM:

To Produce a Section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction

 

INTRODUCTION:

Section views display as section representations in intersecting views. Sections views cut through the model. You can draw them in the plan, section, elevation, and detail views. 

We can create building, wall, and detail section views. Each type has a unique graphical display, and each is listed in a different location in the Project Browser. 

PROCEDURE:-

• Go to the View tab and select the Section option

• After Selecting the Section tool, place the first point and the second point in between the section view
• The section views have been created as shown in the figure below

•  Similarly using section tools, cut the sections for all the rooms 
• After creating the section views, now we can see the sectional tags on the floor plan

   

• After creating the section views, go to Project browser
• Expand the section views and change the names of the views as shown in the figure below

• The Sections for different rooms have been created and produced as shown in the figures below

BEDROOM 1:-

BEDROOM 2:-

8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using 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:-

 

• First we open the project browser, the views, Plari Views, Section Views, and Elevation views are visible in that project browser as shown below.
• Next we insert these plans one by one in the sheets separately.

 

• we can select the views from the following dialog box to insert in a sheet

• Insert the front elevation in the sheet template

 

• Insert the right side elevation of te building.

 

• Insert the left side elevation of the building.

• Insert the back elevation of the building.

• Insert the plan of both ground floor and first floor plan in the template

• Insert the sectional views of the building in the title blocks.

RESULT:

All the views, plan views, elevation views and sectional views are inserted and classified to Design category using property 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

Add additional sheets based on the sections created in your Revit file

 

  AIM:- To create the multiple sheets and produce the drawings in the sheets, from the given drawing list.

PROCEDURE:-

• First we produce the Ground floor architectural plan in the sheet template A-101, as shown in the below figure.

• Next we produce the First floor architectural plan in the sheet template A-001, as shown in the below figure.

• Next we produce the Roof plan in the sheet template A-002, as shown in the below figure

• Next we produce the Ground floor structural plan in the sheet template A-003, as shown in the below figure

• Next we produce the First floor structural plan in the sheet template A-004, as shown in the below figure

• Next we produce the Roof framing plan in the sheet template A-005, as shown in the below figure

• Next we produce the North and south elevation views in the sheet template A-006, as shown in the below figure

• Next we produce the East and West elevation views in the sheet template A-007, as shown in the below figure

     

 RESULT:-

• Created the multiple sheets and produced the drawings in the sheets

 

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.
