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

Q1. 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:

To model a ceiling from the architectural 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 – 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
• The main thing to remember is to be in the correct ceiling plan view before you start. REVIT will let you place ceilings in Floor Plan Views, but I would not advise this as you cannot readily see what you have created

PROCEDURE:

• First, we open the REVIT software and select the ceiling option from the architecture toolbar
• After selecting the ceiling option, then select each room one by one
• Then the ceiling will be created

RESULT:

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

Q2. 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:

To model a roof above the ceiling by selecting the footprints of the ceiling

INTRODUCTION:

• 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 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 forms of the dome and vault appeared

PROCEDURE:

• Open the architecture toolbar and select the roof by footprint option
• Next we select the roof and adjust the roof to 10 degrees by selecting it
• The roof has been created

RESULT:

The roof has been created successfully to the model in the REVIT in detailed manner

Q3. 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.

1. architecture plan must have walls, floors and all the components placed within the building
2. structure plan must have details of only walls, floors and columns

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 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:

• First we draw the architectural plans of first floor and second floor
• Next we draw the structural plans of the first floor and second floor

RESULT:

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

Q4. Using annotate toolbar add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file

1. 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
2. the structure plan dimensions must include details on the positions 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:

To add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file

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 structure 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:

• Here we drawn the longitudinal and transverse grids to the architectural floor plans
• And add the dimensions to the architectural plans
• Next we draw the longitudinal and transverse grids to the structural floor plans
• And add the dimensions to the structural plans

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

Q5. Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views

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 template and view title types
• Then save the empty project as a project template
• When you create a project using this project template, all 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 sheet update automatically
• This technique streamlines the project documentation process and maintains organization standards

PROCEDURE:

• First we click on the sheet option from the view toolbar
• 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
• In the sheet template we insert the first-floor plan and second floor plan separately
• Next edit the project name and the sheet number

RESULT:

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

Q6. Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from east, north, south and west

AIM:

To create the elevation views, looking at your 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 like looking toward the north you would be seeing the southern elevation of the building

PROCEDURE:

• First we click on the elevation option from the view toolbar
• Next the elevation from the east will be visible
• Next the elevation from the south will be visible on the screen
• Next the elevation from the north will be visible on the screen
• Next the elevation from the west will be visible on the screen

RESULT:

Q7. Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction.

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 communication their ideas to their peers

PROCEDURE:

• First we click on the section option from the view toolbar
• Next we produce the section view of the bed room
• Next we produce the section view of the toilet room
• Next we produce the section view of the kitchen room

Q10. Create a camera specific view or a 3D view in each room (living, dining, bedroom) based on the view create a new set of sheet starting A501 (you can add as many sheets after 502,503…n) to place the 3D view images. Produce the sheets as a part of project drafting

AIM:

To create a camera specific view or a 3D view in living room, dining room and bedroom in the sheets separately

INTRODUCTION:

• Camera view are useful in REVIT
• They allow us to view what we would 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 constructing it for real.
