Challenge

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

1.

AIM: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

PROCEDURE:

STEP1

  • Open revit
  • Open week 3 challenge plan
  • Go to Project browser
  • ceiling ->Level1

STEP2

  • Go to architecture tab
  • Go to Build panel->Click on Ceiling
  • Go to modify panel-->Sketch ceiling
  • Select "pick lines" on the modify tab //To select the lines
  • Select the lines of the walls ->CLick OK
  • Click on the Green Tick on the modify to finish //A ceiling will be created
  • From the properties panel adjust "Height Offset" //To set the height of ceiling from the ground floor surface
  • The ceiling will be created at the required height.

RESULT: Ceilings are given on the height of 9' from the top surface of the ground

//The blue heighlight is the ceiling at 9' height

2.

AIM: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

PROCEDURE:

STEP1

  • Open th previous file
  • CLick on architecture tab
  • Go to "roof" in build panel
  • On Modify panel->Pick Lines

STEP2

  • Select the exterior lines of the celilings->Click on Tick mark //In case of intersection error,trim the lines
  • Now the slope will be added to the roof

STEP3

  • To edit slope angle->Properties->Dimensions
  • Slope->enter the value 10 //i.e. 10"/12" in imperial unit
  • Click apply->Slope will be modified to 10

RESULT:we added a sloped roof over the ceiling at a particular slope angle

3.

RESULT:

6.

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

PROCEDURE:

STEP1

  • Open the Floor plan view
  • Go to view tab ->Elevation

STEP2

  • drag the cursor to the plan and set the elevation side
  • To change the elevation view side->Click TAB to change sides

//Do this for all the side of the elevation

  • Project browser->Elevation
  • Rename the elevation according to their respective sides

RESULT: Click on the elevation side to go to that particular elvation sides from project browser

WEST

NORTH

SOUTH

7.

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

PROCEDURE:

STEP1

  • Go to project browser ->Open floor plan level1
  • Go to View Tab->Create->Section

STEP2

  • Draw a line running through the plan longitudinally or transverse
  • Go to project browser->Section plan

RESULT:The sectionla view of the plan will be shown

From SOUTH

Feom NORTH //Click on Flip ⇅ to change the section sides

8.

AIM: Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser

PROCEDURE:

STEP1

  • Open REVIT
  • open the last file you saved

STEP1

  • Go to view tab->Sheet
  • Load->A1 metric sheet //Sheet page will open
  • Go to MAnage->Project information //Edit the parameters

STEP1

  • Go to View ->Place view
  • Select the part u want ot present in the sheet

//Similarly select the plan,section,elevation of the plan to be shown in the sheet

RESULT:

9.

AIM: 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

PROCEDURE:

STEP1

  • Open revit
  • Go to the file your saved in previoues part

STEP2

  • Go to architecture tab->Sheet
  • Select the size of sheet you want //A3 Metric sheet in this case
  • Go to Manage tab->Project information
  • Edit the details you want in the sheet

STEP3

  • Go to View tab->Place View
  • Select ground floor plan->Click OK //Floor pplan level1 will be added
  • Go to properties->scale(To adjust the scale accordng to the size)
  • Can edit the View name for the plan in prooperties

RESULT:

A 101 Groudn floor architectural plan

//A 102 Similarly do it for first floor architecture plan

//Repaeat step2-3 for making new sheet and keeping the plan inside

  • Go to place view
  • select roof plan->Right click and rename it
  • Go to properties to adjust the scaling

A 103 Roof plan

S 101 Ground floor structural plan

S 103- Roof Framing Plan

A-201- North-South Elevations


A-202- East-West Elevations
