Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

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: I have chosen to build a Multi-Unit Residential Apartment .

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

Solution:

• The project comes under Group-A according to NBC Guidelines.

• The project is located near to the highway.

• The road width of this project is 50 Feet.

• The height, area limitation and safety measure are followed by the NBC 2005.

• Dimensions :

Plot area = 1742.24 sqft ( 4 Cents )

Builtup area = 1500 sqft for each floor

• The apartment is G+2+T , with a height of 36' from GFL & it is a framed structure .

• For 3 storey (G+2) house or in a simple 3-floor building, general thumb rule, utilizing standard 9″ thick walls, we recommended size of column footing should be 5’×5’×5′ (1.5m x 1.5m×1.5m) for isolated footing shallow foundation in gravel and sand soil with higher bearing capacity in which width dimensions is 5’×5′.

  The depth of footing should be lowest of 5′ given with a mesh bar of T12@6″C/C of Fe500 Steel with M20 grade of concrete and lowest column size 12″×12″.

3) Using the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation
b. Columns
c. Beams Connected to Columns
d. Roof Framing/ Truss
e. Floor / Decks
f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs

Aim:

By using the structural model, the following components need to be added
a. Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation
b. Columns
c. Beams Connected to Columns
d. Roof Framing/ Truss
e. Floor / Decks
f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs

Commands used :

• Architectural template.
• Structural template.
• Grids.
• Foundations.
• Columns.
• Beams.
• Stairs.
• Shafts.
• Floors.

Procedure:

• Open Architectural template in revit software and save it as Project 2 Arch .
• 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 Structural template, save it as Project 2 Struct .
• Repeat same process as Architectural template,and save the file

Create a new Architectural template and add the Architectural and Structural link using link revit option ,

• Select the coordinate and set the links to the current coordinate

• Now start drawing the structural components of the project in structural template.
• Draw the vertical and horizontal grid lines, And also set the levels
• (i.e) foundation , Ground floor, First floor, Second floor, Terrace levels need to be created.

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

• Repeat the same process for Columns, Beams & floors .

• Select shaft option from the structural tab and draw the shaft opening for staircase .

Result:

The following components has been created on the structural drawing
a. Foundation – Isolated
b. Columns
c. Beams Connected to Columns
d. Floors
f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs

Now , save the sturctural file and collaborate .

4) Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Wall Layout with appropriate material and finishing
b. Exterior façade with fancy finish
c. Interior partition walls to size rooms
d. Components to add details to a room ( Desk, Chair, Lighting, Plumbing fixtures)
e. Add components such as stairs Elevators
f. Have at-least one side of the building with curtain walls and glass panels
g. Include interior and exterior lighting fixtures
h. 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.

Commands used:

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

PROCEDURE:

• 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 it.
• 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 for the architectural tab.
• Click VG (virtual graphics) setting and select custom in annotation off the grids.
• Now , Start creating the exterior wall on grid lines .
• By using floor tool , add floor to all levels and walls also,
• Add stairs in all the levels.
• Create windows & doors
• Then, load the load families in the components required for the project and add them in the drawing .
• Set the camera in all rooms to view the pictures in realistics, of building.
• Save the project and changes will done in the architectural template will be save to be centralised files.

RESULT:

5) Provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included
a. Floor Plans with Annotations
b. Elevations
c. Sections.

AIM:

To Provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates floor plans, elevations, and sections.

Commands used:

• Insert.
• Sheets.
• Load families.
• Edit sheets.
• load image.
• View.

PROCEDURE:

1. Open view tab and select sheet tool.

2. Sheet dialog box will appear then, press A1 metric and click ok.

3. rename the sheets by doubl clicking on the name and use appropriate names to the sheet.

4. Go to the insert tab and select on load image option.

5. Then, add image into our sheets and then save it.

6. Repeat the same process and add the structural and architectural models into the sheets.

7. Add the floor plans, elevation plans and sections also with the same steps into the sheets.

RESULT:

6) Using the Rendering settings, Render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
c. 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.

Commands used:

• Render.
• Region.
• Style.
• Scheme.
• Sheet.

PROCEDURE:

1). Open 3D view and set the view to take the picture where, we want to render the area.

2). then, click view menu and click render option.

3). Render dialog box are appears.

4). select region option and crop the image in region.

5). Then, we can change the style of render images , schemes, lighting options and finally, click render in it.

6). Then the render image will be appears into more realistics than other and it can used to better presentation of our clients also.

RESULT:

7) Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model.

AIM:

To Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model.

Commands used:

• File.
• Print.
• Setup page.
• Select the plotter.
• Print.

PROCEDURE:

1. Click the views and open file menu and click the print.

2. Print dialog box is appear.

3. Then, change the settings of sheets size ,texts styles page setup everything.

4. Then click print and press ok.

RESULT:

Finally, set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model.
