Ans1:- As per the given options in the question I am opting for Multi Unit Residential Apartment

Ans2:- For Geographic and location details assumptions which I have made are:-

1. My project is in residential area (medium populated)

2. Road width in front of my apartment is 60 feet

Select the manage link and link the structural template in the architectural

• Both the grids will appear
• Select the manage tab and accquire the coordinate of the linked grid
• select the relocate project and select the gridand overlap them now its good to go
• save it

Open the structural template

.draw the gids at equal interval in both x axis and y axis

.select the elevation plan and draw the levels as 12' from one floor to another

.After making beams and columns red line will show that is analytical which can be off by pressing vg and select custom and select annotation and off the anlytical

.select the shaft for lift opening and staircase opening

My structure framing plan is ready

.In result I have shown analytical part of the building too as its in structural template revit creates it automatically
