Creating Levels, Grids, Layout and model elements for a residential unit using REVIT

Ans1) Revit buildings are of three types

a)view elements

b)model elements

c)annote elements

• annotation elements
• datum elements

BIM is a visual representation of the physical and fuctional characterstics of a facility from inception onwards as such it serves as a shared information respository for collaboration through out a facility life cycle.

FEATURES OF BIM

• easy access to information
• making the process more expressive
• comprehensive view of the project

BENIFITS OF BIM

• complete representation
• instant update
• time constraint
• resource tracking

Ans2)

1. category- it is one of the element of revit element hirachy it controls the organisation visibility, graphic representation and scheduling option of families within the project
2. family- inside the categories we have family it is the group of 2d or 3d information that serves to represent a discrete building or docmentation element in the project
3. type- once we enter the family we have type option it is the specific representation in a family defined by distinct parametric graphical and documentation characteristics which make it unique from other types in the family
4. instance-it is an individual representation of a type in the project defined by unique prameter graphical and documentation characterstics which makes it unique from other instances from the projects

PROCEDURE

• Select load family

• select category

• select type

• place it in the plan
