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

Q1

BIM:- Building information model is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, construction, structural tools to give better plans, designs, and models. it is a process that supports various tools, technologies, and contracts involving the generation and management of digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of models

features of BIM:-

• improved visualization
• improved productivity due to easy retrieval of information
• increased coordination of construction documents
• increased speed of delivery
• reduces cost
• contains data required for the buildings performance analysis

Q2

AIM:- to insert a family or a template to the Revit model

• open Revit and create a new project with an architectural template
• then click on the architecture from the menu bar
• then click on components
• then load the families or categories
• then click on the place the component
• then the object is placed at the required position

• from the properties dialogue box features of the component selected can also be edited

Q3

AIM:- to save the model project and create a backup

• open Revit create a project with an architectural template
• save the file with a maximum backup as 3
• to create a backup go to options and enter the number
• then click on save

AIM:- to change the units to metric

• type un
• then a dialogue box shows up with the default setting
• now change the format to change the units to metric then click on ok

AIM:- to set up the project information

• go to manage from the menu bar
• then select the project information
• dialogue box shows up to edit the project details

• RESULT:- project is set up with 3 backup files with metric units and edited the project information

Q4

AIM:- To create levels and grids

levels:-

• open Revit
• go to an elevation view and create levels
• gound floor @0
• first floor @10'
• second floor @20'
• third floor @30'

GRIDS:-

• go to the architectural tab
• select datum >grids
• draw the longitudinal grids 1-10 @20' spacing
• draw transverse grids A-E @10' spacing

Q5

AIM:- to draw the residential model and place the components

• open Revit with architectural template
• go the architecture from the menu bar
• draw the walls
• go the door from the architecture menu
• place the doors

Q6

AIM:- to dimensions and label the room

• go to annotate toolbar
• select the linear dimensions
• add the dimensions to the plan
• go to the architecture menu bar
• select tag a room
• create a roomtag and label the room

Q7

AIM:- to add components to the model

• go to architecture from the menu bar
• Click on components
• load family from the library
• then select the component as per the requirement and place them in the model at the appropriate position

RESULT:- the residential unit is drawn using Revit with components like doors, windows, and furniture
