Aim-To create a structural model and include following components

• Foundation
• Columns
• Beams connected to Columns
• Floor
• Floor Opening
• Roof Framing/Truss
• Opening for elevator and stairs

Introduction-Revit offers different templates for Architectural, Structural, and MEP engineers to work easily based on the preloaded settings in the templates. When we open the Architectural Template, it will consist of both architectural and structural tabs.

The Architectural tab consists of walls, windows, doors, roofs, floors, etc that are used for architectural purposes and modeling whereas the Structural tab consists of structural walls, Columns Beams other Structural elements used for analysis.

By using structural tab we create foundation, column, beams, roof etc.

Procedure-

-Open Revit softwear with structural template

-Save file as a Structural Model

-Go to Architecture tab>Select grid>Draw horizontal and vertical grids

-Rename grids, horizontal as A and vertical as 1

-Go to Manage>Select coordinate>Select specify coordinate

-click on grid and set 0 as a value for the both grids

-Type VG>Select Site>Tick on project base point

-Go to Insert tab>Select Revit links>Select Architecture file

-In Architecture file we already created grids and levels fo rthis project with same coordinate

-After opening the Architecture file

-Go to Collaborate>Select copy>Select links option>Select link>Select copy, tick on multiple>Select all grids that we want to copy>Finish

-To draw Foundatiion

-Go to structure tab>Select Isolated>Select appropriate size of footing>Select grids>Select all grids>Ok

-Draw in foundation level

-Go to Structure tab>Select Column>Select concrete with appropriate size>Seelct at girds option>Select all grids>Ok

-In project browser, base level is Foundation level and top constrain is Ground level

-Now Go to Ground level Select all column>Click on copy to clipboard>Paste it to Aligned to selected level>Select first floor level, second floor level, third floor level, roof level

-Again go to structure tab>Select beams>Select at grids>Select transverse grids first then longitudunal grids

-In project browser select edit, for transverse beam make duplicate of given beam as 450x600, And for longitudinal beam we take as it is i.e. 300x600mm

-Firstly all beams are created at Ground level, Now select all beams>Select copy to clipboard>Paste it to aligned selected levels>Select first floor level, second floor level, third floor level

-Go to Structural tab>Select floor>Select draw lines option>OK

-In properties go to edit type>Select thickness>Select appropriate material>Ok

-This floor draw at Ground floor level. Now select floor>Select copy to clipboard>Select paste Aligned to selected level>Select first floor level, second floor level, third floor level

-For Roof

-Go to Architecture tab>Selct roof by footprint>Select draw option

-In properties select edit type>Select 125mm as thickness>Select material give appropriate material to it

-In project browser chnage slope as 0

-To create shaft opening for Stairs

-Go to Architecture tab>Select shaft>Select draw line option and draw boundary for opening

-First draw opening from first floor to third floor and then seprately for Roof level

Result-

In this Structural Model we created Foundation, Columns, Beams, Floors, Roof and oprning for stairs,

Aim-To create following components in Architecture Model

• Wall Layout with appropriate material and finishing
• Exterior façade with fancy finish
• Interior Partition walls to size rooms
• Components to add details to a room like Desk, chair, Lighting, Plumbing fixtures
• Add components such as stairs and Elevators
• Have at-least one side of the building with curtain walls and Glass panels
• Include interior and exterior Lighting fixtures
• Place proper topographic components from outside ( trees, parking, plants) to add details to the model.
