Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

Q.1

The selected type to model is an "Office Building"

Q.2

The following assumptions are in compliance with the NBC:

• The open space around the building shall not be less than 4.5 m
• The type of construction is Type 2, hence the FAR value for a such business building shall be taken as 2.9
• The plot size is taken as 40 m x 70 m (2800 square meters), and the ground floor area is 1200 square meters so the FAR value is 2.3 which is within the limits of the NBC.
• The width of roads around the building is taken as 10 m

Q.4

1- Create a new metric architectural file.

2- Add levels & grids from the Architectural ribbon.

3- Add walls, floors & ceilings from the Architectural ribbon.

4- Add furniture & site components from the Architectural ribbon.

5- From the Site Plan move the Project Base Point to the intersection of axis A & 1

6- Save the file as "Architectural.rvt"

The following are screenshots for the 3D, Site, Ground Floor, First Floor, Second Floor & Roof Plan respectively:

Q.3

1- Create a new metric structural file.

2- Insert the Architectural file as a link: Insert --> Revit Link --> Browse for the Architectural file --> Choose Base Point to Base Point

3- Copy the Axis, Levels, Floors, and Opening Shaft from the Architectural to the Structural File: Collaborat --> Copy/Monitor --> Multiple --> select & finish (the following is a screenshot of the copied items)

4- Add a new level & view for the foundation: Structure --> Level & View --> Plan Views --> Structural Plan

5- Add the Column: Structure --> Column --> At Grids

6- Add the Beams: Structure --> Beams --> At Grids

7- Copy the Columns & the Beams at the First & the Second floors: copy --> Paste --> Aligned to Selected Level

8- At Foundation Level draw the foundation: Structure --> Isolated --> At Grids

The following is the screenshot for the 3D view of the building structure

Q.5

Create the required sheets: View --> Sheet

The following are screenshots for the required architectural sheets

The following are screenshots for the required structural sheets

Q.6

To render: View --> Render

The following are the rendered views for the architectural views

The following is the rendered view for the structural 3D view

Q.7

To print sheets: File --> Print

The project files are attached.
