Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

1)

Aim - Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below

Answer -

From the above options,I have selected "Multi-Unit Residential Apartment".

2)

Aim - 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

Answer -

• My project is in plain area i.e, in Residential area and it can be situated in center of the city.
• The road width of the project is 50'
• The height,area limitations and safety measures are considered according to NBC 2005.
• The height of the project is 48'
• The height of building in meter is 14.63m and road width is 15.24m, The height of the residential building is not exceed 1.5 times width of the road.
• The height is not exceed,so it is safe for construction.

3)

Aim - To using the structural model,include the following components based on the type of structure like wall,windows,doors,foundation,beam,roof etc.

Procedure -

• Open Architectural template in revit software and save it as Residential Architectural Building
• Then draw the grid lines and specify coordinates as 0'0"for both horizontal and vertical grids lines

• Click the Collaborate and save the project

• Next open a new Structural template,save it as Residential Structural Building
• Repeat same process as Architectural template,and save the file

• Create a new Architectural template and add the Architectural and Structural link using manage the links option

• Select the coordinate and set the links to the current coordinate

• Now start drawing the structural components of the project in structural template
• Draw vertical and horizontal grid lines,and also set the levels i.e, Foundation level,Ground floor level,First floor,Second floor,Third floor and roof level.

• Select column option from the structural tab and draw the columns at intersection points of the grids

• Repeat the same process,draw the structural components foundation,beam,column,floor and save the project to central file

Result -

• In this project,using the structural model and save it as a collaborate as central file.

4)

Aim - To using the Architectural model,include the following components based on the type of structure selected above.

Procedure -

• Go to the Architectural template which has created before in this file
• Copy the grids which were created in the previous structure template and copy it.
• Withe the help of paste from clipboard option paste the grids in the architectural template
• Select the grids and pin it
• Click the elevation and create the levels required from architectural tab
• Click virtual graphics setting and select custom in annotation off the grid
• Now,start create the exterior wall on grid lines
• And then select floor and add to all levels
• By the way same doing in wall also
• Add windows,doors to the wall
• Draw stairs and railing in each level
• Then load the load families in the components required for the project and add them in the drawing file
• Set the camera in all rooms to view the pictures in realistic of building
• Save the project and changes will done in the architectural template will be save to be centralised files

Result -

5)

Aim - To provide a set of drawing in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet template Floor plan,Elevation,Section

Procedure -

• Open the view tab and select sheet
• Sheet dialogue box will appear and then add standard size of sheet and click ok
• Rename the sheets by double clicking on the name and use appropriate names to the sheet
• Go to insert tab and select on load image option
• Then,add image into our sheet and then save it
• Repeat the same process and add the structural and architectural models into the sheet
• Add the floor plan,elevation and section into the sheet

Result -

• We created the sheets of structural and architectural models including floor plan,elevation and section view.

6)

Aim - To using the Rendering setting,Render image of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheet

Procedure -

• Open 3D view and set the view to take the picture where,we want to render the area
• Then click view menu and click render option
• Render dialogue box are appears
• Select region option and crop the image in region
• Then,we can change the style of render images,lighting option and finally click render in it
• Then the render image will be appear into more realistic than other and it can used to better presentation of our client also.

Result -

7)

Aim - To print the set of drawing sheet created and submit the drawings from architecture and structure model

Procedure -

• Click the views and open the file menu and click the print
• Print dialogue box is appear
• Then change the setting of sheet size,texts styles page setup everything
• Then click print and press ok

Result -

• Finally,set of drawing sheet created and submit the drawing from the architecture and structure model
