Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT
1. My project is to build a Multi-Unit Residential Apartment.
2. Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling are follow,
- The construction location is assumed to be in a residential area of Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh.
- The construction is done in a plain area.
- As per the national building code.
- The size of rooms is also mentioned.
3. Aim: To use 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
Procedure:
- Open Revit software.
- Click on new and select structural template.
- Go to the structural tab and select grids
- Draw the vertical and longitudinal grids.
- Draw the levels at a specific heights.
- And select columns of size 12"x18"
- And place the columns at the center of grids.
- Select beams of size 18"x12"
- In 3D view
- Select columns and beams and copy.
- click on past and select levels you required.
- And select floor and assign the floor.
- shaft opening for staircase and elevators.
- Elevation view
4. Aim: 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.
Procedure:
- Save the project file.
- Go to the manage link and add the structural file.
- Go to insert tab and select load family
- Add the furniture which is required.
- And plant the tree.
5. Aim: To 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
Procedure:
- Go to view tab and click on sheets
- In the view tab and click view
Result:
a.
b.
c.
6. Aim: To use the Render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images in the drawing sheets
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
c. Rendering through structural framing
Procedure:
- Go to the View tab and click on render.
- And select which you want.
- Click on sheets and select new.
- Click on view and select image.
Result:
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
7. Aim: To Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model
Procedure:
- The print icon is present at the top
