Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

Creating Architectural and Structural Model with 3D Rendering using Revit.

1) Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below:
a. Multi-Unit Residential Apartment
b. Office Buildings
c. School

Aim: - Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below.

1. Multi-unit Residential Apartment
2. Office Building
3. School

Answer: - Office Building.

2) 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

Aim: - 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: -

• My Project is in Plain Area.
• It is in commercial area.
• Road width Infront of my structure is 70ft.

Modeling Requirement from NBC are.

An exit must be provided in every building so as to permit safe escape of employees, in case of earthquake or fire hazards.

The minimum height of basement should be 2.5m and maximum height should be 4.5m.

3) Using the 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

Aim: - Using the structural model, include the following components based on type of structure selected.

Procedure: -

• Open Revit and make horizontal and vertical grids at spacing of 30’ as per NBC.

• Go to the elevation and increase the number of levels up to roof and change their names.

• Select column from ribbon and place the Footing & columns at intersection of grids as shown.

• Change the view to 3D, you get an interface as shown below.

• Place another column on the grid intersection from ground floor to first floor.

• Now select beam from the ribbon and connect this beam to different columns as shown below.

• Change the view to 3D.

• Now go to isolated option from the ribbon and place them on the different columns as shown below.
• Change the view to 3D.
• Select the entire figure and go to the copy option and assign them to first floor and second floor.
• Now go to the roof option and change the view to ground floor and select points and make a loop and assign them to first and second floor and change the view to 3D.

• Now go to wall option and select the floor you want to assign the wall, copy it and assign to different levels.

• Change the front wall to curtain wall as shown below.

• From the properties option change the color and material of roof and walls.
• Let’s make a roof to place stairs, go to the floor option and draw a rectangle in the plan. Change the view to 3D and copy it to different levels.

• Draw a shaft and make stairs in that as shown below, copy and place to different floor levels. And make doors at the entrance of stairs.

4) 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

Aim: Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected.

1. Wall layout with appropriate material and finishing
2. Exterior façade with fancy finish
3. Interior partition walls to size rooms.
4. Components to add details to a room (Desk, chair, lighting, plumbing fixtures)
5. Add components such as stairs elevators
6. Have at least one side of the building with curtain walls and glass panels
7. Include interior and exterior lighting fixtures.
8. Place proper topographic components from outside (Trees, parking, plants) to add details to the model.

Procedure: -

• With the same grids drawn in the previous plan, draw a wall along the boundary.

• Draw the interior partitions and place the required furniture and components in the plan and change the view to 3D.

• Change the front walls of the building with curtain walls or glazed panel as shown below and copy the entire floor and place it to the first floor.

• Draw the roof by making a rectangle along all the sides of second floor.
• Now go to plan view and draw a rectangle floor and view it in 3D as shown below.

• Go to place a component and add the required components from the library and place it the figure.

5) 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

Aim: - Provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included.

1. Floor Plans with annotations
2. Elevations.
3. Sections.

Procedure: -

• Go to the sheet option, as the sheet opens there is another option below it called views and select the required view you want to place.

1. Floor Plans with annotations:

2. Elevations:

3. Sections:

6) Using the Rendering settings, 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

Aim: - Using the Rendering settings. Render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets

1. Rendering from Interior Rooms
2. Rendering from out showing topographic features
3. Rendering through structural framing.

Procedure: -

• In order to render any figure, go to the render option from the ribbon and change the settings you want, and click render figure will turn to realistic as shown below.

Sheet-1:

Sheet-2:

Sheet-3:

Sheet-4:

Sheet-5:

7) Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model

Aim: - To Print set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architectural and structural model.

Commands are used:

• File
• Print.
• Setup page
• Select the Plotter.
• Print

Procedure: -

• Click the views and open file menu and click the print.
• Print dialogue box is appeared.
• Then, change the settings of sheets size, texts styles page setup everything.
• Then click print and press ok.

RESULT: -

Finally, set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the Architecture and Structural model.
