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

  ANSWER:-

•  The type of builing is to be build is  MULTI-UNIT RESIDENTIAL 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

 Introduction:  Take NBC- national building code(2005) as a reference for taking  dimension and values for our project

 ANSWER:-

Geographic and location details for project modeling,Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC

 `

• Location of project is at Pune , Maharashtra
• It is in Residential  area.
• My Project is in Plain Area.
• The height of the Multi-Unit Residential building is about 55' 
• The height, area limitation, and safety measures are followed according to National Building Code 2005
• The thickness of the walls that I have chosen for Exterior and Internal walls are 9" and 6" respectively
• The Size of the rooms also taken care of as per the NBC Part V-1
• It is in Residential  area.
• Hence, my project is completely safe and followed all the regulations according to the National Building Code 2005

 

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:

To create the structural model for the residential building including Columns, Beams, Roof Framing, Floor and Floor opening

INTRODUCTION:

Structural engineers need to be able to efficiently collaborate with all other teams during a project. Revit allows for just that by providing an intelligent model that is used by all stakeholders in real-time.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open Revit 2023.
• Choose the tempalate file Structural templete
• and save it as a "STRUCTURAL WEEK 7 PLAN"

• Go to the MANAGE TAB 
• fromthat manage tab click on project information and fill then information as shown below 

• Now we have to create the basic grids for the project's shared coordinates
• Go to the Structural tab and select the grids tool
• Create the Horizontal and vertical grids intersecting each other as shown in the figure below

      

 

• After creating grids, now we have to specify the coordinates at a point
• Go to the Manage tab and select the project coordinates at a point option

        

• Select the intersecting point of grids and specify the new coordinates as 0' 0" for North/South
• Similarly specify the new coordinates as 0' 0" for East/West
• After specifying the coordinates, click ok 

    

• Next with the help of elevation view make LEVELS that are foundation level,ground level, first floor, second floor , third floor and roof floor  as shown below;

From that 

• Then go to the datum option from architectural and make the grids plan with the reference to obove two grids
• And rename it as horizontal grip as A,B,C ,D,E,F and Vertical grid as 1,2,3,4 ,5,6,7 as shown below 

 

 

 

• Now Place the Foundation at the foundation level  by using ISOLATED footing from structural tab as shown;

 

• Elevation view of footing is as below;

• 3D view of isolated footing is as below;

• Then we draw columns at ground floor level with apropriate , from foundation level 
• structural>column (set the levels, and size of column)

• Elevation view of column we draw is as below;

• 3D view of columns is as below;

 

 

• Then we draw beams at ground floor level with apropriate sizes
• structural>Beams (set the levels, and size of beams)

•  

• Elevation view of beams we draw is as below;

• 3D view of beams is as below;

• Now place the Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs at the center of the building.
• the openings created by using SHAFT option from architectural tab

Result :-

• We have completed the structural model by placing Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation, Columns, Beams Connected to Columns, Roof Framing/ Truss, Floor / Decks, Floor Openings for Elevators 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

 

AIM:

To create the architectural model of the residential building including walls, components, and other elements

PROCEDURE:-

• Open the Revit software and click on the new project
• Select the template file as Imperial-Architectural Template

•  Now we have to create the basic grids to specify project shared coordinates
• Go to the Architectural tab, select the grid tool option
• Create the grids Horizontally and transversely intersecting each other as shown in the figure below
• Specify the coordinates as 0' 0" for North/South and 0' 0" for East/West

        

• Now we have to link the Structural model to the Architectural model
• Go to the Insert tab and select the option called Link Revit
• Select the Structural file that we created earlier and load it into the architectural template
• Then we have to link the Structural model to the Architectural model
• Go to the Insert tab and select the option called Link Revit
• Select the Structural file that we created earlier and load it into the architectural template

• Now we have to create the walls with appropriate material and thickness
• Select the wall and click on edit type in the properties browser
• Select the appropriate wall thickness and material as per the requirement
• I selected the wall thickness as 9" for exterior walls and 6" for interior walls
• And then selected the wall material as Brick wall
• After Selecting the appropriate wall thickness and material, we have to sketch the floor plan
• Select the 9" wall and start sketching the external walls  Now select the wall type as a 6" wall and sketch the interior walls

• Now we have to provide doors and windows for the floor plans
• Go to the Architectural tab and select the door tool
• Select the appropriate size of the door as per the requirement
• Place the doors at the desired location as shown in the figure below
• Similarly select the window tool from the architectural tab
• Select the appropriate size of the window as per the requirement
• Place the windows at the desired location as shown in the figure below

 (Placing Components)

• Go to the Architectural tab and select the components tool
• Load the components from the library using the load family option
• Select the appropriate components and place them in the appropriate rooms 
• Place the beds and cabinets in the bedroom
• Place the sofas and chairs in the living room
• Place the countertop, stove, and other domestic components in the kitchen room
• Place the bathtubs and urinals in the toilet room/bathroom
• Similarly place the other components in the desired location as shown in the figure below
• Now we have to sketch the staircase in the open shaft area
• Go to the Architectural tab and select the staircase tool
• Select the centre end spiral type and sketch the staircase carefully
• The staircase has been created successfully at the shaft area
• similarly place lift/elivator just aside of stair to good access from family
• also create shaft opening for lift

• provide ceilling and place a lightning from the family as below;

• Then after just give finishing touches to the drawing to pleasing apperance

RESULT:

The Architectural model including wall layout, doors, windows, staircase, components, and lighting fixtures has been created and added to the plan successfully
