ANSWER

AIM :-

To create a school building with proper location and geographic features , having every building components in it , provide different views in sheet , render the building , draw structural drawings as well and provide every thing which are mentioned in the question.

INTRODUCTION :-

Revit is a commercial building information modeling (BIM) software by the company Autodesk. It's generally used by architects, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers, and contractors. Autodesk Revit allows users to create, edit, and review 3D models in exceptional detail.

PROCEDURE :-

Open the revit software

Then go on the front page by pressing cntrl + D

Select the new optio from there to start making the school building

Then there open a new dialogue box in which select the architectural template and then click ok to proceed

After that the Blank Page will open and then go to the architecture tab and click on the wall option to draw the walls of the building

We have a signed the walls and created walls for our school building as per our designed requirements and taken care of the NBC requirements too

Now let us attach the doors to our building

For that go to the architecture tab where you will find the door option

Click on that option

Then the Ribbon bar will be changed and then go to the load family option

After loading the door from the load family option our building structure will look like this

Now to add the windows

Go to the architecture tab and then go to the windows option

Click on the windows option

The Ribbon bar will be changed and hence click on the load family option again

Now select the type of Window or door you want to attach in the building and then click ok

For that go to the architecture tab again where you will find the floor option

Click on architecture floor option

Ribbon bar will be changed and then there will be options click on the pick line or pick wall option to create the floors

After that click on finish to complete the floor construction

Go to the 3D view to view the floor that has been created

Now to make the first floor and second floor and roof level

Select the building which we have created

Then there occur a modify tab

Click on the copy to clipboard option

Then click on the option and select the aligned to selected levels option

Hence our building has been created as a multi story school building as per our required number of floors

Now to construct the columns in our building

Go to the architecture tab again where you will find the column option

Click on architectural column

And then provide the colum as per the requirements wherever is required

And then provide the columns wherever required in the building

For the construction of the roof level

Go to the architecture tab where you will find the roof option

Click on the roof option and the Ribbon bar will be changed

Select the building part where you want to create the roofs.

And then click on finish

Hence you can see that roof has been created in our building

Now to make it as a flat roof

Select the roof

Then go to the property Browser

Where we will find the slope option

Put it as zero to make it a flat roof

Hence flat roof has been created

Now to add the railing in our roof level

Go to the architecture tab where will find the railing option

Click on that and then draw the railing as per the requirement

Hence railings has been created our building roof

Now to add the components in our building

Go to architecture tab and then go to the component option

Select the place a component option

Go to the load family option in the Ribbon tab

And then load the components that are required to be placed in the building

As I have placed a chair

So to array the chair, select to the chair and then the Ribbon tab will be changed

Then go to the array option

And select the pic point for that chair

Hence provide the number of quantities you want and place them in a proper direction

Now to copy the place the components in the different levels

Select the components which you have placed

Then go to the copy to clipboard option

After that go to the paste option and then select the aligned to selected levels option

There will open a dialogue box

Select the levels where you want to place the components

And this is a 3D view of our building with all the components placed in it and with different levels

Now to add the topo surface

Go to the massing and site option where you will find a topo surface tool

Click on that tool and then draw the surface as per your requirement

Also to add the building pad for our building

Go to the same massing and site option

Click on building pad option

Now choose a method to draw the building pad for your building

Now we see the building pad and topo surface of our building

Now to create the opening for the staircase

Go to the architecture tab

Then go to the modify toolbar and then select the shaft option from there

Provide the shaft where you want to provide the stair in the building

To see the shaft opening vimarsh change the view to wire frame

and then do the required adjustments

Now to create the stair go to the architecture tab and then go to the stair option and place the stair where you want

Also to create the ceiling of our building

Go to the architecture tab

Click on the ceiling option

Then click on the sketch ceiling option

After that a Ribbon bar will be changed and then select the appropriate type to draw the ceiling and then click on finish

As the components of our building earlier

Now to provide the opening for the different components for the detailing perspective

Go to the component where you want to create the opening

Select the wall and then select the wall opening option

Now you can see the wall openings which have been created in the washroom for the exhaust fan

Now to turn on the sun path feature

It is available in the bottom tab

Just click on the Sun path on option

Then this dialogue box will open where you can select the required setting

And hence now you can see that the Sun path has been created and you can adjust it as per your requirements

After that now to create the grids for our building for the structural plan

Go to the architecture tab where you will find the grid option

After clicking on the grid option there the Ribbon bar will be changed and then select the required appropriate type to draw the grid lines

Hence horizontal grid lines have been created

Similarly draw the vertical grid lines for the school building

Now you can see the grid lines in the foundation level as you have created it for the structural plan

Now to add the footing in our structural model

Go to the structure tab and then click on the isolated structural footing option

Then go to the at grids option to draw the foundation at the provided grids

After that select the grids and click on the finish option to place the footing

Hence isolated Foundation has been created in our structural model
