Creating Levels, Grids, Layout and model elements for a residential unit using REVIT
Ans-1)
AIM- To get information about BIM and benifits of using BIM over 2D CAD tools.
RESULT-
- Building Information Modeling (BIM):
- BIM is a tool for Building Information Modeling or Building Information Management.
- It is a process of creating and managing information for a built asset.
- It is used by professionals to plan, design and construct a structure or building.
- It is a highly collaborative process that allows professionals to work on the same model simultaneously i.e. that structural engineers, architects, MEP engineers, designers, project managers, and contractors can work in a more collaborative environment.
- It is like all of the information of building gathered from conception to completion.
- It can be used at all stages of a building's life- from inception to operation and even renovations and renewals.
- Features of BIM:
- Better 3D visualization of the entire project
- Easy collaboration between multiple teams and trades
- Simplified communication and understanding of design intention
- Reduced rework and revisions at every stage of the project
- More efficient site planning and scheduling
- More efficient hand-offs between steps in the construction stage
- Real-time cost visualization o Simplified cost analysis
- Reduced energy consumption in the long run
- Better operational management of the building or structure after handover
- It is a physical representation of the physical and functional characteristics of the building process, that
provides every minute detail of the project.
- Benifits of BIM over 2D CAD tools:
- CAD deals with the process of designing models and floorplans but BIM includes so much more than
designing - BIM pulls your documents into a single database.
- Resource tracking is a key component of BIM models.
- Easy collaboration between multiple teams and trades.
- Real-time cost visualization
- any changes to materials or component will automatically get updated to the corresponding schedules
and drawings. - BIM is not limited to rendering, but specifies the performance and functions of each object.
- With BIM we can do energy performance calculations.
- All views can be observed according to specific design phases.
- BIM gives us more realistic and accurate idea of the final structure.

AIM- To understand the concept of categories, families, elements, instances in revit.
INTRODUCTION- We can select Categories, Families, Elements, Instances by selecting load family from insert toolbar.
• Categories
- Classification for families for example doors, windows, furniture elements, and so on.
- Families are grouped and sorted by categories in the content library in the project browser.
- Categories are an import tool within Revit for identifying the inferred type of an element, such as anything
in the Walls category should be considered as a wall. - The API exposes access to the built in categories within Revit via the Document.
• Families
- A family is a group of elements with a common set of properties, called parameters, and a related
graphical representation. - Different elements belonging to a family may have different values for some or all of their parameters, but the set of parameters (their names and meanings) is the same.
- All of the elements you use in Revit are families. Some families, such as walls or level datums, are included in the model environment. Other families, such as specific doors, or fixtures, need to be loaded into the model from an external library. You can't create anything in Revit without using a family.
• Elements
- Elements are the building blocks of a 3D model.
- They represent the real-world components that a designer adds to the model.
- Some elements such as walls, windows, and beams are 3D and appear in all views.
- You can think of these elements as components that exist in a building
- Other elements such as tags, dimensions, or other annotations appear only in the view in which they are
placed. For example we select the family from the door catagory, after selecting the family the new tab will visible. - Next there will be different sizes of door is there, select any one of them.
- Next that element is applied to the 3d model, and it will appears in the properties tab at the left side of the screen, as shown below.
• Instances
- Instances are individual graphical/geometric elements placed in a Revit model e.g. a single Wall, or a single Door, or any other single element.
- As a subset of Revit Elements, Instances inherit a series of Parameters from their Category and Type and might have instance parameters as well that only belongs to that single instance,
- The single element attatched to the wall is door, that door we call as instance, as shown below.
Procedure-
Step-1)
- Categories-
- Classification for families for example doors, windows, furniture elements, and so on.
- Families are grouped and sorted by categories in the content library in the project browser.
- Categories are an import tool within Revit for identifying the inferred type of an element, such as anything in the Walls category should be considered as a wall.
- The API exposes access to the built in categories within Revit via the Document.
Step-2)
- Families
- A family is a group of elements with a common set of properties, called parameters, and a related graphical representation.
- Different elements belonging to a family may have different values for some or all of their parameters, but the set of parameters (their names and meanings) is the same.
- All of the elements you use in Revit are families. Some families, such as walls or level datums, are included in the model environment. Other families, such as specific doors, or fixtures, need to be loaded into the model from an external library. You can't create anything in Revit without using a family.
Step-3)
- Elements
- Elements are the building blocks of a 3D model.
- They represent the real-world components that a designer adds to the model.
- some elements such as walls, windows, and beams are 3D and appear in all views.
- You can think of these elements as components that exist in a building.
- Other elements such as tags, dimensions, or other annotations appear only in the view in which they are placed.
- For example we select the family from the door catagory, after selecting the family the new tab will visible.
- Next there will be different sizes of door is there, select any one of them.
- Next that element is applied to the 3d model, and it will appears in the properties tab at the left side of the screen, as shown below.
Step-4)
- Instances
- Instances are individual graphical/geometric elements placed in a Revit model e.g. a single Wall, or a
single Door, or any other single element. - As a subset of Revit Elements, Instances inherit a series of Parameters from their Category and Type and
might have instance parameters as well that only belongs to that single instance. - The single element attatched to the wall is door, that door we call as instance, as shown below.

height of the level by clicking the dimension. - Use the Project Browser to rename the level, if desired.
- Note- If you rename the level, you are asked if you would like to re-name corresponding plan views as
well.
GRIDS
- Use the Grid tool to place column grid lines in the building design.
- You can then add columns along the column grid lines.
- Grid lines are finite planes.
- You can drag their extents in elevation views so that they do not intersect level lines.
- This allows you to determine whether grid lines appear in each new plan view that you create for a project.
- Grids can be straight lines, arcs or multi-segmented. You can hide grid lines after you add them.
- Grids are annotation elements that help organize your design.
- Add grid lines to a model to create a reference and framework for the design.
