Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

PROJECT-2:

Creating Architectural and Structural models with 3D rendering using REVIT

AIM:

To Creating Architectural and Structural models with 3D rendering using REVIT

INTRODUCTION:

Revit software is developed by the Auto desk in the year 2002. It is most useful for Architectures, Civil engineers, and MEP engineers by Drafting and Design. The Revit platform for building information modeling is a design and documentation system that supports the design, drawings, and schedules required for a building project.

Building information modeling (BIM) delivers information about project design, scope, quantities, and phases when you need it. In the Revit model, every drawing sheet, 2D and 3D view, and schedule is a presentation of information from the same underlying building model database. As you work in drawing and scheduling views, Revit collects information about the building project and coordinates this information across all other representations of the project.

The Revit parametric change engine automatically coordinates changes made anywhere—in model views, drawing sheets, schedules, sections, and plans. To Creating Architectural and Structural models with 3D rendering using REVIT using Architectural, Manage, and View tabs simultaneously The Course structure of Revit is,

1. Concept sketch
2. 3D model
3. Design Standards
4. Evaluation of Performance
5. Optimization
6. Drafting and Drawing.

QUESTION NO 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

ANS:

The structure I want to build from this project is a "Multi-Unit Residential Apartment".

QUESTION NO 2:

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

ANS:

1. The minimum depth of the foundation is kept 1m below the Ground level.
2. Plinth Height of 450 mm is more commonly used for Residential houses.
3. Plinth Area should be a minimum of 1.2 times the floor area of the residential building.
4. The carpet area should be 50% to 65% of the floor area.
5. The main entrance door of a residential building should be 1000 mm x 2100 mm in size. Other doors should have a minimum width of 900 mm and height of 2000 mm. Doors for the garage are 2500 mm x 2300 mm and for W.C. and bathrooms are 600 mm to 750 mm x 1800 mm with single-leaf shutter
6. The size of windows depends on the total area of window openings required. The following guidelines should be kept in mind:

   (i) Window width =1/8 (width of room + height of room).

   (ii) Glass area in windows should be 10% to 20% of the room's floor area for good lighting.

   (iii) At least one sq.m. of window area should be provided for every 30 cubic meters of inside room space. Generally, the window's minimum size is 750 mm x 1000 mm.

   (iv) Window sill level (bottom of the window) is 900 to 1200 mm above floor level.

7. The minimum ventilator size is 1000 mm x 500 mm to provide good ventilation for any habitable room. For bath and w.C., it should be a minimum of 450 mm x 300 mm. Its depth should be not greater than 450 mm or otherwise privacy is lost.

8. Sizes of various rooms of a residential building:

i)Drawing room or Living Room:4200 mm x 4800 mm to 5800 mm x7200 mm

ii)Bedroom: 3000 mm x 3600 mm to 4200 mm x 4800 mm

iii)Dining Room:3600 mm x 4200 mm to 4200 mm x 4800 mm

iv)Kitchen:2500 mm x 3900 mm to 3000 mm x 3000 mm

v)Bath and WC combined:1800 mm x 1800 mm to 1800 mm x 2500 mm

vi)Bath separated:1200 mm x 1800 mm

vii)W.C. Separated:1200 mm x 1200 mm

viii)Guest room: 3000 mm x 3600 mm

ix)Storeroom: 2500 mm x 2500 mm to 3000 mm x 3000 mm

9. Stairs:

• Rise in residential building 130 mm to 190 mm

• Tread = 275 mm to 350 mm for public buildings Tread =250 mm to 300 mn for residential buildings.

For selecting the rise and tread of a building, the following thumb rules are followed:

• T+2xR = 550 to 650
• TxR=39000 to 48000
• The width of steps is 1000 mm for residential buildings and is range from 1500 mm to 2000 mm for public buildings.
• Number of risers total height of floor height of the riser
• A number of treads =Number of risers-1.

10. The thickness of R.C.C. lintel beam is 100 mm to 250 mm and 150 mm is more common.

11. Thickness of the R.C.C. roof slab is 100 mm to 150 mm (100 mm is more common) and that of sunshades is 25 mm to 50 mm

12. Sunshades project through 450 mm or 500 mm beyond the facing of external walls.

13. Width of the verandah is from 1.8 m to 3 m and the width of the passage is 0.8 m to 1.2 m in residential houses.

14. The height of the parapet wall should not be less than 0.60 m and not more than 1.2 m above the finished floor level.

QUESTION NO 3:

Using the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation
