Challenge

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:

a) Multi-Unit Residential Apartment
b) Office Buildings
c) School

The building is an 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

The geographical and location details for my project modeling, are based on assumptions of an office building.

Procedure:

My project is in a plain area

It is a commercial area

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

The road width in front of the structure is 60ft.

Modeling Requirements from NBC are,

an exit must be provided in every building so as to permit the safe escape of employees.


In case of earthquake or fire hazards

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

Step 1: Create the required grid lines at required spacings.

Step 2: Gp to structural tab and create footings

Step 3: Create columns

Step 4: Extend the columns to the required level.

Step 5: Create floor.

Step 6: Copy and align it to the other levels.

Step 7: Create the shaft openings for the elevator and 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

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

East elevation

North Elevation

South elevation

West elevation

Section Views

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

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

Aim:

To Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model.

Procedure:

Click the views and open the file menu and click the print.

A print dialog box will appear

Then change the settings of sheet size, texts styles page setup everything

Then click print and press ok.
