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

1)What is BIM? Summarize the features of BIM and benefits of using BIM over 2D CAD tools.

ANS:-BIM

• BIMis the tool for thebuilding information modeling.
• its a procss of creating and managenig information for a builet asset
• its used by profession to plan design of constructed a str building
• its like all of the information of building gatherd from conception to completion

feature:-

• better 3d visualization of the entire project
• easy collabration bet multiple teams and treds
• real time cost valluation
• more effcient site planing and sheduallin

benifites:-

• Cad deals with the process of design models and floorplans but BIMincludesso much more thendesigin.
• BIM pulls your doct into asingledatabase
• resources tracking is akey componet of BIM models
• easy collboration bet multiple tems nd treds
• BIM gives us more realistics and accurate idea of the final str.

2)- Understand the concept of Categories, Families, Elements, Instances in Revit. Go to Insert Tab, choose a category. Pick a family and element. Understand the instances and insert it to Revit model

ans:-

INTRODCATION

CATEGORIES:-

• Classification for familes for example door,windows,furnitureelwmnts.
• Families are grouped and sorted by categories in the project browser.

families:-

• a families is a group of elements with acommon set of properties called paramentres and a releted graphicalrepresention.

elements:-

• elements are the building blocks a 3d model;

instance:-

• instance are a individual graphical,geometrice elements placed in a REVIT model e.g.a single wall ,single Door or any other single elements.

Procedure:-

3:- AIM:-Setting up a Project – Open a project file with architectural template. Save the file with appropriate name. Set up the project units to Imperial / Metric based on your convenience of modelling. Complete the project information under Manage tab. Set up the maximum backups for project file to 3

PROCEDURE:-

RESULET:- TO SET ALL PROJECT INFORMATION AND MAX Backup in 3 times,

4:-AIM:-Understand the concept of Levels and Grids. Follow the naming and conventions. Create the following Levels: ( Convert to metric equivalents if metric is your units)
Ground Floor @ 0’
First Floor @ 10’
Second Floor @ 20’
Roof @ 30’

PROCEDURE:-

5):-ans:-aim3D modelling of residential unit – From looking at your house / or a place you aspire. Create a conceptual layout of the residential unit. You can measure using a tape or
you can access your residential plan to create a similar layout.

preocedure:-

6:-aim:-n the layout created draft the level of details you are planning to include – Dimensions of room, components you plan to add in the residential unit.

7:-aim:-Identify the residential model elements such as Door, Windows, Tables, Chair, Couch, Bed, Lamps from the library and insert them to the model . Save the project for use
for Assignment 3
