Creating Walls, Partition walls and Floors for a residential layout using REVIT

QUESTION 1

AIM

• To create a floor plan and need to apply the materials and thickness using the property browser
• To align the floor plan with grids created from week 2

INTRODUCTION

• Building material is material used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, woods even twigs and leaves have been used to construct buildings
• Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic
• Floor plans are the most critical element of your house plans. Draw to scale and shown from above, floor plans illustrate how rooms, spaces, and physical features work in the relation to each other within the home
• They are the key documents that show how people will move through the space and interact with their home
• Floor plans show the extent to which space will work for its intended purpose

PROCEDURE

• First, we select the floor as shown below
• After selecting the floor click the edit type from the properties browser, as shown below

• After clicking the edit type the type properties tab will be visible on the screen, shown below
• Next, we change the material type by clicking the edit option as shown below

• After clicking the edit option, the edit assembly tab appears
• We select the material type in the 2nd row as shown below
• After clicking that, the material browser appears, then select the material type as Concrete, cast-in-place gray as shown below

• Finally, the material is applied to the floor as shown below

• The next floor plan is aligned to the grids, as shown in the below figure

RESULT

The materials are applied to the floor and the floor plan is successfully aligned with the grids

QUESTION 2

AIM

• To create a floor plan and need to apply the materials and thickness using the property browser for walls
• Verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained
• Need to understand the benefits of connecting walls with associated levels rather than being unconnected
• Need to know which option is convenient for modeling walls, By height or by the depth

INTRODUCTION

• Walls are arguably one of the most important elements of any building
• As such, the wall tool is a prominent function of the Autodesk Revit architecture.
• Building materials are used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rock, sand, and wood, even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings
• Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic

PROCEDURE

• First, we select the wall as shown below
• After selecting the wall, click the edit type from the properties browser, as shown below

• After clicking the edit option, the edit assembly tab appears
• We select the material type in the 2nd row as shown below
• After clicking that, the material browser appears, then select the material type as Brick, Soldier Course as shown below

• After applying the material to the walls, we need to zoom the wall to see the material type very closely as shown below

• Finally, the material has been applied to walls as shown below

a) Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected

• If we select the top constraint as Up to level: Level-2, The height of the wall changes with the levels
• When we put the level height to the 20', then the height of the wall is also changed to 20' as shown below

• The height of level is changed and the height of the wall also changes, as shown in the below figure

• If we select the top constraint as Unconnected, The height of the wall doesn't change with the levels
• When we put the level height to the 20', The only level height is changed, the wall height will not be changed

• The height of level is changed and the height of the wall will not change, as shown in the below figure

b. The Living Room must include furniture set, couch table, TV desk, and shelf cabinets

• When we select the height option for the wall, the wall will be created above the level, as shown below

• When we select the height option for the wall, The wall will be created below the level, as shown below

RESULT

• Materials are applied to the wall successfully
• The top and bottom of walls are constrained
• beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels is when the level height changes, the wall height is also changed.
• Height option is convenient for modeling walls

QUESTION 3

AIM

• Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste option to align elements to a different level

INTRODUCTION

• Floor plans are the most critical element of your house plans. Draw to scale and shown from above, floor plans illustrate how rooms, spaces, and physical features work about each other within the home
• They are the key documents that show how people will move through the space and interact with their home
• Floor plans show the extent to which space will work for its intended purpose

PROCEDURE

• First, we select the total ground floor, then we ground floor is copied to the clipboard
• Then use the paste option to align elements to a different level, as shown below

• Next use the paste option to align elements to a different level, as shown below

• Finally, the elements are aligned to the different levels, as shown below in figure

RESULT

The elements are successfully aligned to a different level using the copy and paste options

QUESTION 4

AIM

To create separate rooms within your residential unit using the interior partition walls

INTRODUCTION

• The walls that make for division or privacy in the interior portion of a building and do not carry the ceiling load and floor load and that would make with bricks, glass, or other more materials is called partition walls
• It has many types like folding, collapsible and fixed types
• If they carried a load of walls and ceilings, then its called interior walls
• The partition wall is the non-load-bearing wall, it doesn't support the floor or feeling, used for the design purpose and partition purpose
• Partition wall connects the floor and ceiling

PROCEDURE

• First, select the interior wall, and change the wall type as a partition wall, as shown below

• The interior partition walls are created as shown in the below figure

RESULT

The interior partition walls are successfully created

QUESTION 5

AIM

To insert the components in appropriate locations to add details to the residential model, based on the week 2 assignment

INTRODUCTION

• The residential model components are furniture set, couch table, TV desk, shelf cabinets, bed set, shelf, lighting, individual study desk, chair, bathtub and plumbing fixtures discussed in class
• These components are very important in the building model for construction
• Coming to the 3D modeling in the Revit, these components are present in the library and we need to insert them into the model

PROCEDURE

• First, we insert the furniture components in the hall as shown below

• Next we insert the kitchen components from the library as shown in the below figure

• Next, we insert the bedroom components from the library, as shown in the below figure

• Here is the way to bedroom, toiled and kitchen room, as shown in below figure

• All components are inserted from the library, as shown in the below figure

• Next the layout plan is turned to the 3D view, and the all components will be visible in this view

RESULT

All components are inserted successfully from the library in a systematic manner
