Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

1) From given options i will select multiunit residental apartment.

2)

For Geographic and location details assumptions which I have made are:-

1. My project is in residential area (medium populated)

2. Road width in front of my apartment is 60 feet

Both the grids will appear.

Select the manage tab and accquire the coordinate of the linked grid.

select the relocate project and select the gridand overlap them now its good to go save it. 

Open the structural template. 

draw the grids at equal interval in both x axis and y axis.

select the elevation plan and draw the levels as 12' from one floor to another.

select the floor plan and draw the floor plan as per the drawing or your building structure and copy it till roof.

Select the columns at grids and draw columns In properties  tab select the column propeerty and size.

Select the footing and draw footings at the columns. 

Select the beam and draw beams connected to the columns and select the constraint to First floor from ground floor as beams are at top of the floors.

select the shaft for lift opening and staircase opening.

My structure framing plan is ready.

In result I have shown analytical part of the building too as its in structural template revit creates it automatically.
