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

1.BIM

BIM is a process in which all the information of the 3D buildings Models are linked and incorporated to produce a comprehensive 3D model.
The BIM is supports to Revit by creating the data based model of architectural designs, structural designs and MEP designs.

Features of BIM

Revit is a single application built the Building information Modeling with features for Architectural design by using the link of 3D modeling of BIM.
It enables to understand relationships between spaces, materials, and various system within a physical structure.
BIM can be used for every step of the process , from planning to design to construction.
Generative designs, quickly produce design alternative based on goals and constraints your define.
Parametric components.
Add ins and Annotation.
Dynamo for revit.

Benefits of using BIM

It helps to revolves the issues for convert or creates a 3D from base of 2D , its covered of issues for between of 2D and 3D.
If we have one model, from which can extract other drawings by using the 3D modeling links.
Its improve the Onsite collaboration and communication.
Improving scheduling of designs and drafting.

2.Concept of categories

It controls the organization, visibility, graphical representations, and scheduling options of families within the project.
It helps to create a model object tab of the objects styles dialog under category and if we need any groups or family to cover it .

Families

For this , grouping of 2D or 3D information that serves to represent a discrete building or documentation element in the project.
And more it helps to design the current model of parametric, graphical, and documentation requirements.

Elements

The elements is also similar to referred to as families.
The family contains the geometric definition of the elements and the parameter used by the elements.
Each instance of an element is defined and controlled by the family.
Each element you place in a drawing is an instance of a family type.

Instance

An item from a catalog that is installed in your facility where the properties for that asset are unique to its installation.

3.Creating a project

Click , NEW ‘’ to create a new page with the selection of IMPERIAL ARCHITECTURAL .
Then, to Save the file with our appropriate name.
Here, I choose the file name is Residential_floor_plan.
Take , MANAGE ‘’ tool from the main tool bar, purpose of filling the details of the building.
Choose , Project information’’ to insert the all data of our project in drawing sheet.
Its covered the project details and client details.
Main thing to have all file to get a backup for maximum 3 numbers, after completing the drawing.

4.Concept of Levels and Grids

GRID - Grid lines are finite planes. This allows you to determine whether grid lines appear in each new plan view that you create for a project.
LEVEL – Levels are horizontal planes that act as reference for level-hosted elements, such as Roofs, floors and ceiling.
To create a new page with Imperial architectural .
To save file at appropriate name.
And then to choose wall Architectural to draw the wall at 10 feet , 20 feet and 30 feet.
Take toolbar , VIEW’’ to give the elevation of the wall.
Go to project browser and to select the Elevation-a, then to view the wall at different height.
Choose ,, STRUCTURE’ to select the Levels for given the each and every wall top at from the base measurement follows 10 feet, 20 feet and 30 feet.
Similarly, have to select the ‘GRID ‘ to making the construction layout for plan.
Here, we given Grids in Transverse of the name in A,B,C,D,E @ distance of 10’
Similarly to Longitudinal Grids from 1 to 10 @ 20’.

5.3D Modeling of Residential unit

To create a new page with Imperial architectural .
To save file at appropriate name.
To create a conceptual layout of residential unit of our plan.
First to desire the acquired land area of site and to measure the layout area of entire residential area.
After creating the layout, then to project browser follow to select the elevation view or to choose from tool bar option of 3D VIEW.

6.Layout of Residential plan

To create the layout of the residential building with the detailed level of designed building.
Through architecture, to create the room with appropriate and to separate the area of the particular area to splitted.
Choose , Door to add the particular plan for wherever we want for single flush door .
If we want Double flush door, from to get the templates from our storage of comments at the tool of LOAD FAMILY.
To select , AREA’ tool to get the area of particular boundary area.
To select Window to create the window of the wall from where we need it.

7.Residential Model Elements

To create a layout of plan.
Then, to add the components of required particular objects.
To choose Door to want the opening of room, kitchen, etc..,
If we need Double Flush Door for the main door of residential from LOAD Family templates of content.
Similarly, to add the Door, Window, Furniture, Lamp, etc.. from library of family elements.
