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

From the above the options of choos type of structure to build a building,

I need to pick a School Building.

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?

The geographical and location details of my project are :

1. As mentioned my building comes under School category and it can be situated in the center of the city.

2. My project is located near the highway.

3. The road width in front of my building is 18000mm

4. The height, area and safety measures will follow the rules and regulations of NBC.

5. The height of my project is 18000mm and the road width is 18000mm

6. So my building height is 18m and the road width is 18m, the height of the building should not exceed 1.5 times the width of the road width.

7. In this case the building height is not exceeding so it is suitable for construction.

8.The minimum height for habitable rooms is 2.75 m as per the NBC 2016.

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:

• To Using the Structural Model, include the following component based on the type of Structural selected in Foundation, Columns, beams, Roof, Floor, Stair and Elevators.

PROCEDURE:

STEP1: TO OPEN STRUCTURAL TEMPLATE:

• Open the Revit Software.
• Then the Create the Structural template in Models.

STEP 2: TO CREATE GRIDS AND LEVELS:

• Go to the Architectural tab and Datum colum there is to select the Grid.
• Draw the Grid line

• Same Process the levels also , Go to the Architectural tab and Datum colum there is to select the Levels.

• Draw the Level line, give the offset is 3000mm ande six levels are created.

• The Final of grid and Levels is drawn in the below

GRIDS:

• The Create the Grids in outer is center to center distance of the plot size(24000mmx24000mm)

LEVELS:

• The create the Levels is height of building is 3000mm is drawn
• Below is Foundation level there the Ground level depth is 2500mm.
• Total building levels is 6, the name change is (foundation,0,1,2,3,4,5 and roof)

STEP 3: TO CREATE COORDINATE BASE POINT:

• Go to the Visibility Graphics and Shortcut is "VG"
• One Dialouge box are show.

• That Visibility Dialouge Box there is Search tab to Search the "Site"
• Then the project Base Point to Select and tick, then Ok.
• The project Base Point is Created in the Structural Plan.
• That Symbol of Project Base Point to moved the Coordinate point created

• Go to the Manage Tab, then the Project Location column there is Coordinate to click.
• Then Select the Specify Coordinate at Point to Click

• Then Select the Specified Coordinate at a Point to Select Shown in Below

• After clicking one dialouge box will be open , Shown in Below
• The value is given 0

• After given the value , the Coordinate Point set at the Project Base Point

STEP 4: TO CREATE STRUCTURAL FOUNATION:

• Go to the Structural tab , then there is Foundation Column , If can select the any Foundation.

• I am using Steped Footing in the Structural Plan.
• The Steped footing is not there in the revit family, If you use the Family Template to create the Steped footing.
• The Steped footing size is shown in below.

• Then the footing is placed above the grid line and where will Placed the placed in design the Structural Engineer.
• The Steped footing is placed the Foundation level shown in Below.

STEP 5 : TO CREATE THE STRUCTURAL COLUMN:

• The Floor is choosing the Floor slab.
• The Floor size is change the go to the Proerties and Edit type , Dublicate the Family and Edit the Dimentions .
• The Floor thickness is 150mm
• Then the Floor to create the manually. Shown in Below.

• Same Process to the all Level , So am simply copy the all element to Place the all levels.

STEP 8: TO COPY THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENT PLACED LEVELS:

• Select the Structural Element , Ribbon is changeed the Modify Tab
• There is Copy Symbol to Click , Shown in Below.

• Then the Paste symbol there to click that and select the Asigned to select levels. Shown in Below

• Select the levels you paste the Structural element, Shown in Below

STEP 9: TO CREATE THE SHAFT OPEN:

• Go to Structural Tab and Opening Column then Shaft is activate

• Then stair case openning is use the tools and create the Shaft Open.

• The shaft is create sucessfully, shown in below 3d view

RESULT:

• The Using the Structural Model following the component of Footing, Column, Beam, Floor, Wall, and Shaft opening

4) Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
