Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

CREATING ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL MODEL WITH 3D RENDERING USING REVIT

Q1. Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below:

1. multi-unit residential apartment
2. office buildings
3. school

From the above options of type of structure to build a building, I select a multi-unit residential apartment

Q2. Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modelling. Base on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modelling requirements from NBC

The geographical and location details for my project modelling, based on assumptions of multi-unit residential apartment

Selected identify the modelling requirements from NBC

• As above mentioned by the building comes under the residential category and it can be situated in centre of the city
• The project is in the highway nearest
• The road width of this project is 60 feet
• The height, area limitation and safety measure are followed by the NBC 2005
• The height of project is 42’
• This project height in meter is 12.8 m and the road width is 18.2 m, the height of the building should not exceed 1.5 times the width of the road
• In case of building height is not exceed, so it is suitable for construction

Q3. Using the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected

1. foundation – isolated/wall/matt foundation
2. columns
3. beams connected to columns
4. roof framing/truss
5. floor/decks
6. floor openings for elevators and stairs

AIM:

To using the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure like wall, windows, doors, foundations, beams, etc.

COMMAND USED:

• Architecture template
• Structural template
• Grids
• Columns
• Beams
• Foundations
• Stairs
• Shafts
• Floors

PROCEDURE:

• Open a architectural template in REVIT software and save it as residential building arch001
• Then draw the grid lines and specify coordinates as 0’0” for both horizontal and vertical grids lines

• Click the collaborate and save the project

• Next open a new structure template, save it as residential building-structural 001
• Repeat step 2 and 3, same process and save the file

• Create a new architectural template and add the architecture and structural links using manage the links options

• Select the acquired coordinates and set the links to the current coordinates
• Now start drawing the structural components of the project in structure template
• Draw the vertical and horizontal grid lines, and set the levels
• Foundations, ground floor, first floor, second floor, third floor and roof levels are created

• Select columns option from the structural tab and draw the columns at intersection points of the grids

• Repeat the same process, draw the structural components foundation, beam, floor and save the project to central file

RESULT:

In this project using structural model and save it as a collaborate as central file

Q4. Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected

1. wall layout with appropriate material and finishing
2. exterior façade with fancy finish
3. interior partition walls to size rooms
4. components to add details to a room (desk, chair, lighting, plumbing fixtures)
5. adds components such as stairs elevators
6. have at-least one side of the building with curtain walls and glass panels
7. include interior and exterior lighting fixtures
8. place proper topographic components from outside (trees, parking, plants) to add details to the model

AIM:

To using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected above

COMMAND USED:

• Architecture
• Walls
• Components
• Load family
• Ceiling
• Floor
• Doors
• Windows
• Staircase
• Railings

PROCEDURE:

• Now go to the architectural template which has created before in this file
• Copy the grids which were created in the previous structure template and copy t
• With the help of paste from clipboard option paste the grids in the architectural template
• Select the grids and pin it
• Click the elevation and create the levels required from architectural tab
• Click virtual graphics setting and select custom in annotation off the grids
• now start create the exterior wall on grid lines
• and then floor tool add floor to all levels of projects
• by the way same doing in walls also
• add stairs to all levels in it
• to created the staircase, add railing system in it
• add windows, doors to the walls
• then load the load families in the components required for the project and add them in the drawing them in the load family
• set the camera in all rooms to view the pictures in realistic of building
• save the project and changes will done in the architectural template will be save to be centralised files

RESULT:

Q5. Provides a set of drawings in an architectural and structure model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included

1. floor plans with annotations
2. elevations
3. sections

AIM:

To provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structure model to list the following details with categories and appropriates sheet templates floor plans, elevations and sections

COMMANDS USED:

• insert
• sheets
• load families
• edit sheets
• load image
• view

PROCEDURE:

• open view tab and select sheet tool
• sheet dialog box will appear then, press A1 metric and click ok
• rename the sheets by double clicking on the name and use appropriate names to the sheet
• go to the insert tab and select on load image option
• then, add image into our sheets and then save it
• repeat the same process and add the structure and architectural models into the sheets
• add the floor plans, elevation plans and sections also with the same steps into the sheets

RESULT:

Finally, we create the sheets of structural and architectural models including floorplan views, elevations views and section views

Q6. Using the rendering settings, render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets

1. rendering from interior rooms
2. rendering from out showing topographic features
3. rendering through structural framing

AIM:

To using the rendering settings, render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets

COMMAND USED:

• render
• region
• style
• scheme
• sheet

PROCEDURE:

• Open 3D view and set the view to take the picture where, we want to render the area
• Then click view menu and click render option
• Render dialog box are appearing
• Select region option and crop the image in region
• Then we can change the style of render images, schemes, lighting options and finally, click render in it
• Then the render image will be appearing into more realistic than other and it can used to better presentation of our clients also
