Q1)

AIM:

Use the project file created from Week 2. Use it for this assignment. Based on your layout from week 2, using floor tool under architecture tab and select the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser create a layout in the Ground floor Level. Align the floor plan with grids created from week 2.

PROCEDURE:

create the layout with the help of walls as shown in figure.

now go to the architecture tab, select the floor option.

go to pick line and select the walls of layout and click on the right mark.

a blue dotted portion appears throughout the layout.

now go to the edit option at the left side of screen and change the colour and thickness of floor.

go to the view option and select 3d view to view it in 3d.

Q2)

AIM :

Add walls based on the floor layout. Pick lines or use the draw tool to modify the boundary of walls. Use the property browser to select appropriate material and thickness for walls. After creating the walls verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.

a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?

PROCEDURE:

after drawing the layout and viewing it in 3d,

next step is allotment of doors.

select the walls and modify the properties of wall using edit properties command.

a dialogue box will appear as shown in figure ,go to the edit option in that dialogue box.

there you will find the different modifying properties of the wall.

select the property you want and apply it.

a

a)benefits of connecting walls is that when walls are connected with constraints any changes applied in the height of building

automatically adjusts its height with the building levels.but if the walls are unconnected ,we have to edit the height of walls which is

time consuming.

b)according to me the best way to model buildings is by height.

Q3)

AIM :

Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level . Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align
elements to a different level.

PROCEDURE:

continue with the figure drawn in question 2.

before proceeding we have drawn the railing in this figure.

to draw the railing go to the ground floor plan.

and draw a rectangle at the door front with the help of floor command.

and click the right option it will be created.

now go to the 3d view select railing and pick line where you want to install it.

to draw the first floor copy the entire ground floor,

select the option copy to clip board from ribbon and paste option (aligned to selected level)

select level 2,and it will be copied as shown in figure.

Q4)

AIM:

Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit. The model must include the following rooms

a. Living Room/ Drawing Room ( 15’ X 18’)
b. Dining Room (9’ X 11’)
c. Bed Room ( 9’ X 12’ and 15’ X 11’)
d. Rest Room ( 10’ X 12’ )
e. Kitchen (8’ X 10’)

The above are for examples. You can use them or use your measured entities to create your model based on your layout. You may include entry walkway, Patios or Guest
rooms based on your creativity and purpose of modeling. Convert units if you are using metric system.

All the components are available in Revit Library. Use them to place at appropriate locations to add details to your model. Use 3D navigation to check the model and its authenticity on a real time basis to verify the model.

PROCEDURE:
since the model is now prepared ,in order to show the arrangements mentioned in the aim

we need to show the inside images of the model using camera.

go to view option from the ribbon select the camera and place

it in the floor plan in order to show the inside components
