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

Answer :- I have selected 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.

AIM:-Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling

Procedure:-

Step 1:

• Open Revit
• Open New REVIT File and save it as School building structural.
  

Step 2:

• Go to Manage Tab and go to Project location Tab
• Click on the location to set the location.

• Location is set

Assumptions for geographic and location details for my project are as follows:-

• My building is constructed in plain area (Geography)
• My building is constructed in 13/1522 E Lane,Trivandrum,KL 695604.

The modeling requirements as per NBC

Points to remember while designing a school building

1. A master plan should be drawn up for the site as a whole. For this purpose, the services of a good architect should always be taken for the planning of the building. However, teachers and heads of the institution should also try to equip themselves for giving suggestions to architects or planners in order to make the school plant more useful and serviceable.
2. The level of the school should be high so that water-logging does not take place in the monsoon season. There should be a good drainage system.
3. Always it is advisable to have the buildings of one storey. The second storey can be constructed in the future when future expansion is needed. So any type or design must therefore take note of this possibility of future expansion. So it is desirable that the school plant should be planned.
4. The building should be south-facing, so that sunlight can enter the room in the winter and cannot enter directly in the summer. Provision should be made for the free circulation of air, proper light, and a minimum area to accommodate a certain number of school children. The building must be planned with hygienic laws.
5. The school building must provide for certain amenities for the student's such as a common room, sanitary conveniences, provision for mid-day meals, refreshments, and in case of girl students retiring rooms with necessary facilities, accommodation for teachers with a common room available for them where they can meet one another, a reading room and a library; a visitors' room, a room for the headmaster, an office room and a well-planned and equipped science laboratory to stimulate greater interest in science. But the planning and designing should be scientific and modem. The construction of all types of rooms in the building must be determined not by fancy
   but by utility.
6. Adequate space must be provided with classrooms, special rooms, school halls, staff room, office room, pupils' common room, library, and reading room in every secondary school. The classroom should have 600 Sq. Ft floor area (30' x 20'). The height of each room must be more than 15 feet.
7. Efforts should be made to have school buildings with a graceful look. The surroundings of the school building should be attractive and must provide a stimulating environment for children to study and conduct co-curricular activities more effectively.

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.
