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

QUESTION 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.

ANSWER:

AIM: To model a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level.

INTRODUCTION:

• A ceiling is an overhead interior surface 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.
• 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
• In this Revit Architecture tutorial, I am going to show you how to create Ceiling elements both “Automatically” and by means of the “sketch method”.

TYPES OF DRAWING:

1. Creating Ceilings automatically
2. Creating Ceilings by Sketch
3. Aligning Suspended Ceiling Grids

Just like Floors and Roofs, Revit Ceilings consist of 3D model geometry and non-graphical parametric data. They are created by use of the dedicated Ceiling tool. There are 2 methods of creating Ceilings- each with their own pros and cons, which I will explain at the end of the tutorial. To make this tutorial a little more realistic, I have created a simple building to which we can add some Ceiling elements

PROCEDURE:

STEP-1:

1. Opening Revit Software
2. Opening Week 3 Project
3. From recent projects Open 'My Home Architectural'

STEP-2:

1. First we open the revit sofware, and select the ceiling option from the architecture toolbar.

STEP-3: Creating a ceiling

1. From the project, browser click and open the first-floor plan view
2. Go to Architectural Tab
3. Click on Ceiling to model the ceiling for the first floor

5. Select the required area of the ceiling as shown below

1. Ceiling is created at required area.

RESULT:

• The height offset of the ceiling is changed from the properties of the ceiling. The result after placing the ceiling over the first floor is shown below.

QUESTION :-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

ANSWER:

AIM: To Model a Roof to the first-floor ceiling

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.
• Roof, covering of the top of a building, serving to protect against rain snow, sunlight wind, and extremes of temperature
• Roofs have been constructed in a wide variety of forms flat, pitched, vaulted, domed, or in combinations as dictated by technical. economic, or aesthetic considerationsThe earliest roofs constructed by man were probably thatched roofs that were made of straw.
• leaves, branches, or reeds; they were usually set at a slope, or pitch, so that rainfall could drain off them.
• 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 interstices between them.
• Gabled and flat roofs were possible with these materials. With the invention of brick and cut stone for building, the basic roof formo of the dome and vault appeared.

ANSWER:

AIM: To Create multiple sheets for different views

INTRODUCTION:

• Create views on a project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process.
• When creating a project template, you 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 you create a project using this project template, all of the views and sheets are already created and listed in the Project Browser.
• As you start to draw the building model in the project views, the views on the sheets update automatically.
• This technique streamlines the project documentation process and maintains organizational standards.
