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:

Created a ceiling in the first floor level

INTRODUCTION:

From the architectural tab to model a ceiling at the first floor level on the saved week 3 project of the residential unit.

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1) OPEN MODEL

  • Launch the Revit software
  • Click on open and select previously created drawing as Arch_Drawing_chanllenge2

STEP 2) CREATE CEILING

  • Go to Project Browser expand Ceiling Plan, double click on First Floor
  • Go to Architecture tab select Ceiling
  • Select sketch ceiling from Modify |Place Ceiling
  • Modify| Create Ceiling Boundary tab is open, now select Pick Line tool from draw panel
  • Select exterior line of the plan then click on green tick from mode to finish
  • Ceiling is created on the first floor level

RESULT:

Following the above procedure, we have created a ceiling 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:

Created a roof by footprint above the ceiling

INTRODUCTION:

From the architectural tab to model a roof by footprint at 10-degree slope by using adjustment toolbar.

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1) OPEN MODEL

  • Launch the Revit software
  • Click on open and select previously created drawing as Arch_Drawing_chanllenge2

STEP 2) CREATE ROOF

  • Go to Project Browser in the Floor Plan double click on Roof
  • Go to Architecture tab drop down the Roof and select Roof by Footprint
  • Modify| Create Roof Footprint tab is open, now select Pick Line tool from draw panel
  • Select exterior line of the plan then click on green tick from mode to finish
  • Roof is created on the Roof level

STEP 3) PROVIDE SLOPE

  • Type UN to open project unit
  • Select unit format slope
  • Change units as decimal degree from format dialog box
  • Click OK
  • Select created roof
  • Go to property browser
  • Change slope as 10 from dimensions

RESULT:

Following the above procedure, we have created roof by footprint above the ceiling

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:

Created architectural and structural plan based on previously saved project

INTRODUCTION:

1-GROUND FLOOR ARCHITECTURE PLAN

2-FIRST FLOOR ARCHITECTURE PLAN

STEP 3) STRUCTURAL PLAN

  • Go to view tab
  • Drop down the Plan Views from the create panel
  • Select Structure Plan
  • Dialog box will open for selecting levels
  • Choose ground floor then first floor

1-GROUND FLOOR STRUCTURAL PLAN

2-FIRST FLOOR STRUCTURAL PLAN

RESULT:

Following the above procedure, we have created separately architectural 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:

Added dimension in architectural and structural plan by using annotate toolbar

INTRODUCTION:

In the architectural and structural plan added dimension with respect to grids

  • Open Annotate tab select Aligned tool
  • Create dimension to the component from grids
  • Similarly for the structural plan

1-DIMENSION WITH COMPONENT

2-DIMENSION WITH STRUCTURAL MEMBER

RESULT:

Following the above procedure, we have added the dimension in the architecture and structure plan

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

AIM:

Sheet template created from view tab and adjust the parameter

INTRODUCTION:

  • Edit sheet title block as per view
  • Drag to insert the plan from project browser in sheet

STEP 3) ADD VIEW IN SHEET

  • From project browser select any view then drag to the sheet
  • after that from property browser change view scale to adjust the view
  • edit the parameter on the title block

RESULT:

Following the above procedure, create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameter

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