Buildings

AIM:

To choose any one of the structure for designing and modelling out of the following:

a. Multi-Unit Residential Apartment

b. Office Buildings

c. School

RESULT:

I've chosen MULTI- UNIT RESIDENTIAL APARTMENT

AIM:

To assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC

PROCEDURE:

Open a new architectural template in Revit
Go to manage tab and select location option from project location option
Select the desired location
Click ok

These are the major modelling requirements and assumptions made as per the NATIONAL BUILDING CODE:

This falls under GROUP A- RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS and under the sub section A5
Height of the building has to be 40'
Height of rooms should be 10'
Thickmess of the walls should be 8"
Main stair case and fire escape has to be continuous and from the ground floor to roof level

AIM:

Using the structural model, include the following structural components based on the type of structure selected to design

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

PROCEDURE:

Open a new structural file that has been created

Link structural file and architectural files that are created

Make sure the grids are located properly

Go to structure tab and select isolated footing

Now select the at grids option to place the footing at the foundation level

Select thhe grids and click on finish option

Repeat the similar process to place columns at the grids intersection as well

Now go to structure tab and go to beam option

Place the beams to make a girder system across the columns in every level

Now go to floor option from structure tab and draw the floor outline on all levels

Now to add shaft for stairs opening,select shaft option from the structure tab

Draw the area where we would like our stairs as a shaft opening
Click on finish and our shaft opening for stairs has been created

Go to architecture tab and click on stairs to place them in the position

Click on run and set the base constraint to ground level and selct the top constraint to the top most level

Now to model truss select structure tab and then click on truss then select pick lines option
Select the place truss is to be placed

RESULT:

We have finished modelling for isolated footings, columns, beams, floor, stair openings and also truss

AIM:

Using 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:

Open the architecture file and as it is linked to the central model all the changes done in the structure tab also gets reflected in architecture file
To add walls got to architecture tab and walls , now select the exterior walls option and edit it as per requirements

Now select the desired wall type and place it accordingly

Now start placing all the interior walls according to the partitions required
So go to architecture tab and then walls and then select the desired wall type and place it

Now start placing windows and doors in the required places

Go to architecture tab and then to windows and doors and then place them

According to requirements add different components in various rooms

To place those components first load those families and then insert them in the positions

Now to add topography go to the massing and site tab and then select toposurface option

Plants and trees and other components can be added to topography using the site component option

RESULTS:

Below are the images of final results after modelling the rooms and topography components

AIM:

To 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

PROCEDURE:

Open architecture file and go to annotate tab and then select aligned to give the dimensions to the project

Go to view tab and select sheet option to add sheets and then place the views on the sheet

Repeat the same procedure for elevation views and section views

RESULT:

All the required sheets with the respective views and elevations and sections are modeled

ELEVATION VIEWS:

WEST ELEVATION :-

EAST ELEVATION:-

NORTH ELEVATION:-

SOUTH ELEVATION:-

FLOOR PLAN:

SECTION VIEWS:

AIM:

Using the Rendering settings to render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
c. Rendering through structural framing

PROCEDURE:
