Creating Architectural and Structural model with 3D rendering using REVIT

QUESTION 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 1

Multi-Unit Residential Apartment

QUESTION 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

ANSWER 2

The geographical and location details for my project modeling, based on assumptions of multi-unit Apartment

• As above mentioned the building comes under the residential category and it can be situated in the center of the city
• The project is located on the highway nearest
• The road width of this project is 60'
• The height, area limitation, and safety measures are followed by the NBC.2005
• The height of the project is 42'
• This project height in meter is 12.8m and road width is 18.2m, the height of the building should not exceed 1.5 times the width of the road
• In the case of a building, height is not exceeded, so it is suitable for construction

QUESTION 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

ANSWER 3

AIM

To use the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure like a wall, windows doors foundations, beams, etc

COMMANDS USED

• Architectural template
• Structural template
• Grids
• Columns
• Beams
• Foundations
• Stairs
• Shafts
• Floors

PROCEDURE

• Open an architectural template in Revit software and save it as a residential building arch001
• Then draw the grid lines and specify coordinates as 0'0" for both horizontal and vertical grid lines

• Click the collaborate and save the project

• Next, open a new structure template, save it as residential building-structural 001
• Repeat steps 2 and 3, same process, and save the file

• Create a new architectural template and add the architectural and structural links using the manage link option

• Select the acquired coordinates and set the links to the current coordinates

• Now start drawing the structural components of the project in a structural template
• Draw the vertical and horizontal grid lines and also set the levels, foundation, ground floor, first floor, second floor, third floor, and Roof levels are created

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

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

RESULT

This project uses the structural model and saves it as a collate as a central file

QUESTION 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

ANSWER 4

AIM

To use the architectural model including the following components based on the type of structure selected above

COMMAND USED

• Architecture
• Walls
• Components
• Load family
• Ceiling
• Floor
• Doors
• Windows
• Staircase
• Railing

PROCEDURE

• Now go to the architectural template which has been created before in this file
• Copy the grids which were created in the previous structure template and copy it
• With 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 the architectural tab
• Click virtual graphics setting and select custom in the annotation of the grids
• Now, start creating the exterior wall on grid line and floor tool to all levels of the project
• By the way, same doing in walls also and add stairs to all levels in it
• To created the stairs add a railing system in it and add a window, door to the wall
• Then, load the load families in the components required for the project and add them in the drawing them in the loaded family
• Set the camera in all rooms to view the pictures in a realistic building
• Save the project and changes will do in the architectural template will be save to be centralized files

RESULT

QUESTION 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

ANSWER 5

AIM

To provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates floor plans, elevations, and sections

COMMANDS USED

• Insert
• Sheets
• Load families
• Edit sheet
• Load image
• View

PROCEDURE

• Open a view tab and select the sheet tool
• A sheet dialog box will appear then, press A1 metric and click ok
• Rename the sheets by double-clicking on the name and use appropriate names to the sheet
• Go to the Insert tab and select on load image option
• Then add the image into our sheets and then save it
• Repeat the same process and add the structural and architectural models into the sheets
• Add the floor plans, elevation plans, and sections also with the same steps into the sheets

RESULT

Finally, we create the sheets of structural and architectural models including floorplan views, elevations views, and section views

QUESTION 6

Using the Rendering settings, Render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images in the drawing sheets
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
c. Rendering through structural framing

ANSWER 6

AIM

To use the Rendering settings, Render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images in the drawing sheets

COMMANDS USED

• Render
• Region
• Style
• Scheme
• Sheet

PROCEDURE

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

RESULT
