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: - 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- i.e. You can let Revit do most of the work and “guess” where you want the boundaries to be, or you can enter “Sketch Mode” and literally sketch out the boundary of the ceiling yourself.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• First, we open the Revit Sofware, and select the ceiling option from the architecture toolbar.

Step: -2

• After selecting the ceiling option, then select each room one by one.
• Then the ceiling will be created, as shown in the below figure.

Step:-3

• Here we can see the ceiling in the three-dimensional view as shown in the below figure.

RESULT:-

• The ceiling has been modeled successfully from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level.
• 

2. AIM: - To model a roof above the ceiling by selecting the footprints of the ceiling.

INTRODUCTION: -

• Roof, covering 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 considerations The 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.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• Open the architecture toolbar, and select the Roof by Footprint option as shown in the below figure.

Step: -2

• Next, we select the roof and adjust the roof to 10 degrees by selecting it, as shown in the figure.

Step:-3

• The roof has been created, as shown below.

RESULT:-

• The roof has been created successfully to the model in the Revit in detailed manner.

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: -

• The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.
• Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types.
• The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project.
• Most projects include at least one floor plan.
• Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• open the view tab and select plan view

Step: -2

• First, we draw the Structural plans of the first floor and second floor as shown below.

Ground floor

first floor

Step:-3

• Next, we draw the architecture plans of the first floor and ground floor as shown below.

Ground floor

first floor

RESULT: -

• Created plan views for ground floor level and first-floor level including all the walls, floors, and components.
• And separated them into architecture and structural plans.

4. AIM: - To add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file.

INTRODUCTION: -

• Dimensional measurement is how we know and quantify the size and shape of things. It involves lengths and angles as well as geometrical properties such as flatness and straightness. Dimensional measurement is of fundamental importance for interchangeability and global trade.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• Here we drawn the longitudinal and transverse grids to the architectural floor plans as shown below.
• And add the dimensions to the architectural plans as shown below.

first floor

Ground floor

Step:-2

• Next, we draw the longitudinal and transverse grids to the Structural floor plans as shown below.
• And add the dimensions to the Structural plans as shown below.

first floor

RESULT: -

• The dimensions are added to the structural floor plans and the architectural floor plans.
• And the longitudinal and transverse grids are also created in the project file.

5. AIM: - To create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate 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.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• First, we click on the sheet option from the view toolbar, as shown below.
• After clicking the sheet, the new tab will be visible on the screen.
• In that new tab we select the A1 metric, then the sheet template will be displayed.

Step:-2

• In the sheet template we insert the first-floor plan and second floor plan separately as shown below.
• Next edit the Project name and the sheet number as shown in the below figures.

RESULT: -

• Created a sheet template from the view tab and adjusted the parameters on the sheet for adding appropriate views.

6. AIM: - To create elevation views, looking at you're building from East, North, South, and West using the elevation tab.

INTRODUCTION: -

• An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one view.
• This is the most common view used to describe the external appearance of a building.
• Each elevation is labelled in relation to the compass direction it faces, e.g. Looking toward the north you would be seeing the southern elevation of the building.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• First, we click on the elevation option from the view toolbar, as shown below.

Step: -2

• Next the elevation from the east will be visible, as shown below.

Step:-3

• Next the elevation from the south will be visible on the screen, as shown below.

Step:-4

• Next the elevation from the North will be visible on the screen, as shown below.

Step:-5

• Next the elevation from the West will be visible on the screen, as shown below.

7. AIM: - To produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction.

INTRODUCTION: -

• Sectional views reveal hidden details in a mechanical drawing.
• These views assume that a cutting plane has removed portions of the object represented by the drawing, displaying the appropriate section of the interior.
• Sectional views are used in engineering and architectural drawings.
• They help civil engineers, architects, and airplane designers communicate their ideas to their peers.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• First, we click on the section option from the view toolbar, as shown below.
• Next, we produce the section view as section 1 (vertically cut)

Step: -2

• Next, we produce the section view as section 2 (horizontally cut)

RESULT: -

• Created the section views of a model in the Revit in detailed manner.

8. AIM: - To classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser.

INTRODUCTION: -

• The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.
• Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types.
• The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. Most projects include at least one floor plan.
• Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project.
• Sectional views reveal hidden details in a mechanical drawing.

PROCEDURE: -

• First, we open the project browser, the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views are visible in that project browser as shown below.
• 

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

INTRODUCTION: -

• Create views on a project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process.

RESULT: -

• Created multiple sheets and produced the drawings in the sheets, from the given drawing list.

10. AIM: - To create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in the living room, dining room and bedroom on the sheets separately.

INTRODUCTION: -

• Camera Views is really useful in Revit.
• They allow us to view what we would actually see if we were standing at any given location in our design.
• This can be invaluable for both understanding and communicating the nature of a space before we go to the expensive lengths of actually constructing it for real.

PROCEDURE: -

Step: -1

• First, we take the sheet and name it as A-501.
• Next go to the floor plan and place the camara in the bedroom, and the camera view of bed room will be shown below.

Step: -2

• Next, we take the sheet and name it as A-502.
• Next go to the floor plan and place the camara in the Kitchen room, and the camera view of kitchen room will be shown below.

Step: -3

• Next, we take the sheet and name it as A-503.
• Next go to the floor plan and place the camara in the Living room, and the camera view of Living room will be shown below.

Step: -4

• Next, we take the sheet and name it as A-504.
• Next go to the floor plan and place the camara in the Rest ROOM, and the camera view of Rest room will be shown below.

RESULT: -

• Created a camera-specific view or a 3D view in the living room, dining room and bedroom in the sheets separately.
