Challenge

Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

IIshant Kanojiya18 Mar 2022

AIM:- TO MODEL THE BUILDING WHICH DRAFTING, DESIGN, AND ENSURE THE SAFETY OF ALL THE COMPONENTS. MAKE SURE EVERY RESIDENTIAL UNIT IS FULLY FILLED BY THE MODEL OF THE PROJECT.

INTRODUCTION:- I select the multi-unit Residential Apartment.

I model an 8 multi-unit Residential Apartment. Which carry G+4 floors and every floor carries 2 apartments.

The size of the building is 60' X 80'

The topography location is Prayagraj-> U.P-> India ( under guidelines of NBC)

In this project, we use structural and architectural components. In this project, we draft doors, walls, elevator, staircase, column,

beam, and other structural and architectural components.

PROCEDURE:-

Structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation
b. Columns
c. Beams Connected to Columns
d. Roof Framing/ Truss
e. Floor / Decks
f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs

FIRST WE SKETCH A STRUCTURAL MODEL
SKETCH GRIDS AND LEVELS
PROVIDE FOOTING, COLUMN, BEAMS
GO TO FOOTING LEVEL> SELECT ISOLATE FOOTING > SELECT LOCATION WHERE YOU PLACED FOOTING> SELECT SIZE AS PER REQUIREMENT
GO TO COLUMN> SELECT SIZE OF COLLUM (OUTER SIDE 18X24 OR INNER SIDE 12X18)> SELECT TOP-LEVEL AS ROOF LEVEL> SELECT BOTTOM LEVEL AS FOOTING LEVEL> SELECT LOCATION WHERE YOU PROVIDE AS PER REQUIREMENT.
SELECT SLAB> SELECT STRUCTURAL SLAB> SELECT RECTANGLE > SELECT THICKNESS OF SLAB(FOOTING LEVEL 6" )> SELECT OUTER SIDE OF EDGE COLUMS> PRESS OK
BEAM CONNECTED TO COLUMN
GO TO BEAM > SELECT SIZE OF BEAM(OUTER SIDE 169X32 OR INNER SIDE 16X24)> SELECT COPY TO TO ALL BEAMS > GOTO ALIGNED TO SELECTED LEVEL > PRESS OK
GOTO FLOOR> SELECT STRUCTURAL FLOOR> SELECT 6"GENERIC CONCRETE FLOOR> SELECT RECTANGLE > SELECT POINT MID AT ALL EDGE COLUMN> PRESS OK
SELECT FLOOR > PRESS COPY > PASTE ALIGNED TO LEVELS > SELECT FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FORTH, ROOF> PRESS
EXTEND COLUMNS 3'
SELECT FLOOR >SELECT COPY > GOTO ALIGNED TO LEVELS> SELECT LEVELS PRESS OK
SELECT SHAFT IN STRUCTURAL TOOL BAR> SKETCH SHAFT BOUNDARY AS PER YOUR CONVENIENCE
SELECT FIRST FLOOR TO ROOF LEVEL IN PROJECT BROWSER

The architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Wall Layout with appropriate material and finishing
b. Exterior façade with fancy finish
c. Interior partition walls to size rooms
d. Components to add details to a room ( Desk, Chair, Lighting, Plumbing fixtures)
e. Add components such as stairs Elevators
f. Have at least one side of the building with curtain walls and glass panels
g. Include interior and exterior lighting fixtures
h. Place proper topographic components from outside ( Trees, Parking, Plants) to add details to the model

PROCEDURE:-

SELECT NEW PROJECT> SELECT IMPERIL ARCHITECTURE TEMPLATE> PRESS OK
GOTO MANAGE TOOL BAR> SELECT MANAGE LINKS> SELECT FILE(WEEK7 STRUCTURAL PROJECT)> SELECT LOAD >PRESS OK
SELECT COPY MONITORING TOOL (FOR PLACING LEVELS AND GRIDS)> SELECT LINK OPTION> SELECT STRUCTURAL AREA> THEN SELECT ONE BY ONE EVERY GRIDS AND LEVELS
SKETCH PARTITION WALLS
SELECT ARCHITECTURAL WALL > SELECT TYPE OF WALL> 12' GENERIC WALL
TOP OFFSET -2'8"
SELECT STAIR CASE> SELECT STAIR TYPE> SELECT START POINT> THEN GIVE LANDING> THEN ENDPOINT > PRESS OK
parking
SKETCHING WALL, AND RAILING
GOTO FIRST FLOOR
SELECT ARCHITECTURAL WALL> SELECT 6" GENERIC WALL > ADJUST SOME SETTING (LIKE HEIGHT, TYPE AND THICKNESS )> SELECT PATH WHERE YOU PLACED WALL > PRESS OK
SELECT RAILING> SELECT TYPE OF RAILING> SPECIFY WHERE YOU REQUIRED/ SKETCH THE LINE > PRESS OK
sketching curtain walls
select architectural walls> select curtail wall> select start point to end point> press ok
then select curatil grids> select curtail wall> specify spacing b/w grids(2'horizontal and 4'vertical)> press ok
select components in architectural tab > select components like chair, table, beed and other elements
select element > specify size and and material> select location > press ok
palcing doors
Placing windows
select windows in architectural tool bar> select type nad size of windows> speify height to floor > palced where you required
if windows family is not present in properties > so go to insert tool bar> select load family> select windows floder> select types of faimily element required > press ok > select size of wlwment> presss ok
select components like windows doors > select mirror axix> specify axix press ok
Placing bed,table, chair and other components
select component in architectural tool bar> go to bed > select size and type > specify side> press enter
If bed family is not show > goto insert >select load family> goto furniture> select bed folder> select size and type of bed > press enter
TV,TV stand, and sofa
select tv family > select 1270mm size > select first level > specify height of level 5' > press ok
select chair family > select sofa > select size and type (as shown in snip)> specify location > placed it
Placing lighting fixture
Placing paint on the walls
first, go to manage tool bar> select material> create paint as a material> specify parameters as per requirement> then go to modify tool bar> select paint option > select material/paint> select face of wall > press enter
select copy tool > select all elements > select aligned to levels > select levels, second,third, forth> press enter

Provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included
a. Floor Plans with Annotations
b. Elevations
c. Sections

STRUCTURAL MODEL

FLOOR PLANS WITH ANNOTATIONS

GO TO WEEK7 STRUCTURAL PROJECT
GO TO FLOORS PLANS LIKE FOOTING LEVEL, GROUND FLOOR, FIRST FLOOR, AND ROOF LEVEL
GOTO VIEW TOOL BAR> SELECT SHEET > SELECT A4 SIZE SHEET >SELECT VIEWS / DRAG AND PALCED INTO SHEET
GOTO ELEVATION IN PROJECT BROWSER > SELECT EAST, WEST, NORTH, SOUTH> DRAG THE CURSOR INTO SHEET > SPECIFY POINT AND SCALE AS PER YOUR REQUIREMENT> EDIT NAME > PRESS OK
GOTO VIEW TOOL BAR> SELECT SECTION> SELECT START POINT AND THEN ENDPOINT TO PLACE SECTION VIEW > WHEN VIEW IS CREATED > THEN CREATE SHEET > THEN GOTO PROJECT BROWSER > SELECT SECTION VIEW> DRAG THE CURSOR INTO SHEET > SPECIFY POINT AND SCALE > RENAME > PRESS OK
