1.AIM

To Model a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level

INTRODUCTION

• A ceiling ia an overhead interior surfacew that covers the upper limits of a room
• It is not generally considered a structural element , but a finished surface concealing the underside of the roof structure or the floor of a story above
• Two kinds of ceilings can be placed in model, basic ceilings and compound ceilings

PROCEDURE

STEP1

• Open revit software

• from the recent files select WEEK 4 PROJECT

STEP2

• Go to the architectural tool bar and select the ceiling option

• After selecting the ceiling two options will be available automatic ceiling and sketch ceiling from that select sketch celing

• using pick line option select the line and press the green tickmark

• Then the ceiling will be created as shown in the figure

RESULT

Ceiling has been placed over the firstfloor

2.AIM

To Model a roof above the ceiling

INTRODUCTION

• A roof is the top covering of a building , including all materials and constructions necessary to support it on the walls of the building or on uprights , providing protection against rain, snow , sunlight, extremes of temperature and wind
• A roof is part of the building envelope

PROCEDURE

STEP1

• Open revit software

• from the recent files select WEEK 4 PROJECT

STEP2

• Go to the architectural tool bar and select the roof from that select roof by footprint

• Select the required area of the roof and select the roof level

• Change the slope of the roof to 10 degree

RESULT

The base level is set to roof level and the roof is created

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.AIM

To create plan views for ground floor level and first-floor level including all the walls, floors, and components.

And to Separate them to architecture and structural plans.

INTRODUCTION

• In the field of architecture, an architectural plan is a design and planning for a building and can contain architectural drawings, specifications of the design , calculations , time planning of the building process and other documentation
• A structure plan is a framework to guide the development or redevelopment of an area by defining the future development and land use patterns , areas of open space , the layout and nature of infrastructure and other key features and constraints that influence how the effects of development are to be managed

PROCEDURE

STEP1

• Open revit software

• from the recent files select WEEK 4 PROJECT

STEP2

CREATING ARCHITECTURAL PLAN

• First we need to go to the property browser and open the floor plans

• Click on the ground floor to open the 2D layout
• sameway click on the firstfloor inorder to get the 2D layout of first floor plan
• Architectural plan consist of walls , stairs , windows and doors
• Components are placed in kitchen , living room , bedroom and toilet
• GROUND FLOOR PLAN

• FIRST FLOOR PLAN

STEP3

CREATING STRUCTURAL PLANS

• Go to view tab from that select plan view
• And from that select structural plan

• click on a column to add structural columns to the layout
• concrete rectangular column is added from load family

• click open
• place the component where ever it is necessary

RESULT

Architectural and structural plans are created

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.AIM

To annotate the project concerning the grids created

INTRODUCTION

• Grids and levels are really the skeleton of building projects
• Typically levels in revit are used to indicate the locations of floors , foundations and the roof of a building in section and elevation views
• Grids are used to host columns and walls
• Grids can be straightlines , arcs or multi segmented.You can hide grid lines after you add them

PROCEDURE

STEP1

• Open revit software

• from the recent files select WEEK 4 PROJECT

STEP2

• Draw the longitudinal and transverse grids to the architectural floor plan

• And add the dimensions to the architectural plan
• By using annotatetab linear dimension

STEP3

• Draw the longitudinal and transverse grids to the structural floor plan

• And add the dimensions to the structural plan
• By using annotatetab linear dimension

RESULT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.AIM

To Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views

INTRODUCTION

• A sheet view in revit is a layout where you can place : A title block , multiple drawings, multiple schedules
• In revit using sheet template we can create sheet view of construction document
• We can place multiple drawings or schedules on each sheet view

PROCEDURE

STEP1

• Open revit software

• from the recent files select WEEK 4 PROJECT

STEP2

• Click on the sheet option in the viewtab

• After clicking the sheet option the new sheet tab will be visible in the screen

• then load the sheet as per the requirement
• select the loaded sheet and sheet will be displayed

• Edit and change the data in the sheet as per requirement

STEP3

• In the sheet template insert first floor plan and ground floor plan separately
• then edit the project name and sheet number

RESULT

sheet template from the view tab is created and adjusted the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.AIM

To create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West

INTRODUCTION

• The elevation view can be described as a look at the structure from the side
• Most of the time the elevation views are going to be found exclusively in the architectural drawings
• Each elevation is labelled in relation to the compass direction it faces

PROCEDURE

STEP1

• Open revit software

• from the recent files select WEEK 4 PROJECT

STEP2

• Click on the elevation option from the viewtoolbar

STEP3

• Elevation from the east

STEP4

• Elevation from the west

STEP5

• Elevation from the north

STEP6

• Elevation from the south

RESULT

created the elevation views, looking at building from East, North, South, and West

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.AIM

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

INTRODUCTION

• Sectional views are used in engineering and architectural drawings
• Sectional views reveal the hidden details in a mechanical drawing
• These views assume that a cutting plane has removed portions of the object represented by drawing , displaying the appropriate section of the interior

PROCEDURE

STEP1

• Open revit software

• from the recent files select WEEK 4 PROJECT

STEP2

• Select section option from viewtoolbar

• The software allows users to design a building and structure and its component in 3D , annotate the model with 2D drafting elements , and access the building information from the building model's database.
• The revit sotware offers the following
  • Revit customization and support
  • Revit plugin development
  • Revit mobile app development
  • Custom Revit add-ins for MEP
• Some of the major advantages of revit are as follows
  • parametric modelling
