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
- I have chosen an office building for the project.
2) Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC
The office building is planned to be constructed in commercial IT park area in Kochi.
Modelling requirements as per NBC-
Since, my building is an office building, it can be taken as a business building.
- The open space around the building shall not be less than 4.5m.
- Considering the type of construction as type 2 construction , the FAR value for the business building shall be taken as 2.9. The plot size is taken as 40mx70m i.e, 2800M2 and individual floor area is 2000M2. Hence, FAR value obtained is 2.14 which is within the prescribed limits as per NBC. `
- The width of the road abutting the building is taken as 9m (30').
- The maximum height of the building shall not exceed 1.5 times the width of road abutting plus the front open space. Building will consist of 3 floors each floor having a floor height of 3.6m. Hence, the entire floor height will be 10.8m, which is within the limits prescribed by NBC.
3) Using the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation
b. Columns
- Beams Connected to Columns
d. Roof Framing/ Truss
e. Floor / Decks
f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs
- Aim:
- To create the following in a structural template:
- 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
