Step5: Then Finally load in the project.
RESULT: Finally, created a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views.
6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West
AIM: To create the elevation views of layout from East, North, South, and West using elevation views.
Tools Used: View tab, Elevation views, sheets.
Procedure:
Step1: Open the previous file and click on elevations in view tab to create the elevation views for the layout.
Step2: Use the cursor to place the elevations in North, South, East and West direction.
Step3: After creating the elevations in the project browser it will looks like this and open each elevation view to see how they are.
EAST:
WEST:
NORTH:
SOUTH:
RESULT: By this we had created the elevation views into the layout.
7) 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.
Tools Used: View tab, section, project browser.
Procedure:
Step1: Open the previous file click on section tool in the view tab of create panel.
Step2: Now use the cursor to place the sectional view in the layout both longitudinally and transversely.
Step3: Now in project browser sectional views had been created.
SECTION1:
Section2:
RESULT: Finally, we had created the sectional views longitudinally and transversely to the layout.
8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser
AIM: To classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser
Views: The ability to see an object in particular place or direction.
Plan views: the appearance of a plan as seen from top or A plan view is a orthographic projection of a 3-dimensional object from the position of a horizontal plane through the object.
Section Views: A section view is a view used on a drawing to show an area or hidden part of an object by cutting away or removing some of that object.
Elevation Views: An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one façade. 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. Buildings are rarely a simple rectangular shape in plan, so a typical elevation may show all the parts of the building that are seen from a particular direction.
Geometrically, an elevation is a horizontal orthographic projection of a building onto a vertical plane, the vertical plane normally being parallel to one side of the building.
Architects also use the word elevation as a synonym for façade, so the "north elevation" is the north-facing wall of the building.
9) 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
Add additional sheets based on the sections created in your Revit file
AIM: To create multiple sheets according to the question given.
Tools Used: View Tab, sheets, views, project browser.
Procedure:
Step1: To create sheets go to view tab and select sheets in the create panel.
Step2: Select the sheet from the dialogue box appeared.
Step3: Sheet had been opened change the details as required.
Step4: Now select the view in view tab in create panel to place the views in sheets.
Step5: Now a dialogue box will appear their select the view to be placed in the sheet.
