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:
From the given three above options I have selected Multi Unit Residential Apartment.
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
A) The Geographic and location details assumptions which I have made are:
- My project is in residential area (medium populated)
- Road width in front of my apartment is 40 feet
- My project is in plain area (geographical)
- Climatic conditions are very easily adaptable.
As per the NBC
Height Limit as per FAR Calculation and as per NBC.
Min length and width of the room is set as per NBC.
Fire and safety measures have been set as per NBC.
Soil quality is also verified as per 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
c. Beams Connected to Columns
d. Roof Framing/ Truss
e. Floor / Decks
f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs
Aim:
To include the following components based on the type of structure selected using the structural model.
Procedure:
First we draw the vertical and horizontal grids as shown below.
Next we need to add the columns with the size of 8” x 16”, as shown in the below 2 figure.
Next we need to add the foundations with the size of 8' x 5' x 16”, as shown below.
Next we turn the foundations and columns to the 3D view, as shown below.
Next we need to add the beams to the layout, as shown in the below figure.
Next we turn the layout to the 3D view, as shown below.
Again add the beams and columns up to the fourth floor level, as shown below.
Next we add the floors upto the fourth floor as shown in the below figure
Next we turn the 3D model to the side views, as shown in the below figure.
Result:
The given components are successfully included based on the type of structure using the structural model
4) Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Wall Layout with appropriate material and finishing
b. Exterior façade with fancy finish
c. Interior partition walls to size rooms
d. Components to add details to a room ( Desk, Chair, Lighting, Plumbing fixtures)
e. Add components such as stairs Elevators
f. Have at-least one side of the building with curtain walls and glass panels
g. Include interior and exterior lighting fixtures
h. Place proper topographic components from outside ( Trees, Parking, Plants) to add details to the model
Aim:
To include the given components based on the type of structure selected using the architectural model.
Procedure:
We add the different materials to the wall and finishing has done, as shown below.
Next we add the interior partition walls, as shown in the below figure.
Next we render the Working as shown below.
Next we render the Meeting room as shown below.
Next we render the kitchen room as shown below.
Next we render the Entrance with exterior lights as shown below.
Result:
The given components are successfully included based on the type of structure using the architectural model.
5) Provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included
a. Floor Plans with Annotations
b. Elevations
c. Sections
Aim:
To provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the given details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included.
Procedure:
First we add the ground floor plan in the sheet, as shown below.
Next we add the first floor plan in the sheet, as shown below.
Next we add the Ground floor structural plan in the sheet, as shown below.
Next we add the First floor structural plan in the sheet, as shown below.
Next we add the Section-A in the sheet A-102, as shown below.
Next we add the Section-B in the sheet A-103, as shown below.
Result:
Provided a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model and listed the given details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included.
6) Using the Rendering settings, Render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
c. Rendering through structural framing
Aim:
To render images of the 3D model produced and to include the rendered images to the drawing sheets using the rendering settings.
Procedure:
First we add the rendering view of residential building in the sheet A-104, as shown below.
Next we add the rendering view of Employee room in the sheet A-106, as shown below.
Next we add the rendering view of Entrance in the sheet A-105, as shown below.
Next we add the rendering view of Kitchen in the sheet A-101, as shown below.
Next we add the rendering view of Structural framing of a building in the sheet S-1, as shown below.
Result:
The all rendered images of the 3D model is successfully included in the drawing sheets.
7) Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model
Aim:
To print the set of drawing sheets created and to submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model.
Procedure:
First we use the print tool to print the drawings, as shown below.
After printing the drawings, we open the printed drawings, as shown below.
Result:
The set of drawing sheets are printed successfully.
And submited the drawings from the architecture and structure model.
