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

AIM

To model a ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level

INTRODUCTION

• The creation of Ceiling within Revit is a very similar process to that of Floors and Roofs -ie 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 sketch out the boundaries 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 the 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 select the room one by one
• Then the ceiling will be created, as shown in the below figure

• Show the ceiling in 3D view

RESULT

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

QUESTION 2

AIM

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

INTRODUCTION

• 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 attached roofs that were made of straw, leaves, branches, or reeds. they were usually set a slope or pitch so that rainfall could drain off them
• Conical attached 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 options as shown in the below figure

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

• The roof has been created as shown below

RESULT

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

QUESTION 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 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 a 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 the first floor and second floor as shown below

• Next, we draw the structural plans of the first floor and second floor as shown below

RESULT

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

QUESTION 4

AIM

To add dimensions to all the walls and floors concerning 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 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 an architectural project. Most projects include at least a one-floor plan
• Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project

PROCEDURE

• Here we draw the longitudinal and transverse grids to architectural floor plans as shown
• And add the dimension to the architectural plan as shown below

• We draw the longitudinal and transverse grids to the structural floor plan as shown below
• Add the dimensions to the Structural plans as shown below

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

QUESTION 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 the project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process
• When creating a project template, you can include a sheet 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 viewpoint templates and view title types
• Then save the empty project as a project template
• When you create a project using this project template view and sheets are already created and listed in the Project Browser
• As you start to draw the building model in the project view, the views on the sheets are updated automatically
• This technique streamlines the project documentation process and maintains organizational standards

PROCEDURE

• First, we click on the sheet option from the view toolbar, as shown
• 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 as shown
• Next, edit the Project name and sheet number as shown

RESULT

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

QUESTION 6

AIM

To create the elevation views, look 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 labeled about the compass direction it faces, eg looking towards the North you would be seeing the southern elevation of the building

PROCEDURE

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

• Next, the elevation from the east will be visible

• Next, the elevation from the south will be visible
• Next, the elevation from the north will be visible

• Next, the elevation from the west will be visible

QUESTION 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 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

• First, we click on the section option from the view toolbar as shown
• Next, we produce the section view of the bedroom as shown

• Next, we produce the section view of the Toilet room as shown

• Next, we produce the section of the Kitchen room as shown

• Next, we produce the section view of the Living room as shown

RESULT

The section view of a model in the Revit is created in a detailed manner

QUESTION 8

AIM

To classify the view, plan views, section views, and elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Property browser

PROCEDURE

• First, we open the project browser, the view, plan view, section view, and elevation views are visible in the project browser as shown
• Next, we insert these plans one by one in the sheets separately

• First, we insert the front elevation in the sheet template, as shown

• Now we insert the left side elevation in the sheet template as shown

• Next, we insert the right side elevation in the sheet template as shown

• Next, we insert the backside elevation in the sheet template as shown

• Next, we insert the ground floor plan in the sheet template as shown

• Next, we insert the first-floor plan in the sheet template as shown

• Next, we insert the section in the sheet template as shown

• Next, we insert the section2 in the sheet template as shown

• Next, we insert the section in the sheet template as shown

RESULT

Views, Plan view, Section views, and Elevation views are classified to Design category using Properties browser

QUESTION 9

AIM

• Next, we create the East and West elevation view in the sheet template A-202, as shown

RESULT

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

QUESTION 10

AIM

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

INTRODUCTION

• Camera views are 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 space before we go to the expensive lengths of actually constructing it for real

PROCEDURE

• First, we take the sheet and name it A-501
• Next, go to the floor plan and place the camera in the bedroom, and the come view of the bedroom will be shown

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

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

RESULT

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