Procedure:
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Open Revit software, click on new and select the structural template.
Go to the structural > grid. Then create transvers and longitudinal grid.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Then go to manage, select project location. In that select coordinates > specify coordinates at point.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Click on horizontal grid enter the new coordinate for North/South As 0’-0”
Similarly set the coordinate for the vertical grid
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Type VG for visibility graphics
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Expand Site and check mark on Project Base Point then click OK
Base point will show in the model sheet
Click on the base point and unpinned
Move the base to the intersection of the girds then pinned the base point
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->After that save the project as Structural_01
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Now create more grids for the project, change the name of the grids as shown in the photo.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Select isolated foundation from the structure tab and select footing sizes as per requirement.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Place the footing as per the design.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Then select the column from the structure tab, from the drop down menu in the property browser select the desired sizes of the column.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Click on the beam and select the desired sizes of beams and place it on the required positions.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Then select floor and assign on the 1st floor.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Then copy the beams, columns and floor and place on the all the floor.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Create slab on the roof level, then select shaft option from the structure tab and create opening at the location of staircase and elevator.
Result
The aim of the question is successfully achieved.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->4) <!--[endif]-->Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
