Creating Walls, Partition walls and Floors for a residential layout using REVIT
1) 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
AIM - By 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 & Also Align the floor plan with grids.
PROCEDURE-
- Open the revit Software - Open the file " Residential" from week 2
- Select Floor From the Architectural Tab change Property using "Property Browser"
Click ok - Then Apply
- Similarly Change the Thickness of Floor
Click ok.
- Goto Architecture Tab- "Grid". Draw grids as Layout
RESULT
By using Architecural Tab we have changed the floor property & Thickness of the floor
Grids are drawn as per layout
2) 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?
AIM - By using Pick lines or 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.
PPROCEDURE-
- Select Wall - Goto Edit Type-
- Goto Edit - then Change the Thickness.
Then Click Okay
- Similarly Change the Properties of the wall
Goto - wall category
- Select the Property "Gypsum white board"
Click ok then Apply.
- Similary do other Walls.
RESULT
Walls has changed as per required property and thickness
9" & 4" wall.
Property on the wall.
a) Based on my observation connecting walls with associated levels are best rather than being Unconnected because walls height changes automatically as levels are revised but in unconnected walls height doesnot changes.
b) By Height option is convenient for modeling walls for me.
3) 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 alignelements to a different level.
AIM- BY Using modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to alignelements to a different level Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level.
PROCEDURE-
- Select the all floors as shown in screen.
Goto Copy option in task bar
Goto paste -Select "Alligend to Selected Levels"
Select the required levels then Click ok.
RESULT- By using copy and paste option Leved are alligend to different levels Successfully.
4) 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
AIM- BY Using interior partition walls create separate rooms within my residential unit.
PROCEDURE-
- OPEN REVIT FILE
- GOTO ARCHITECTURAL TAB SELECT WALL TO DRAW THE LAYOUT
- SELECT THE INTERIOR PARTION FROM THE PROPERTY TAB
- SELECT THE INTERIOR PARTION WALL & SPECIFY THE THIKNESS.
- DRAW THE PLAN AS PER REQUIRED DIMENTIONS.
RESULT
INTERIOR PARTITION WALLS ARE USED.
5) Based on week 2 assignment, the components to be included in a residential unit were inserted to the Revit file. Place these components in appropriate locations to add details to your residential model
a. Place Doors and windows in the wall at appropriate locations
b. The Living Room must include furniture set, couch table and TV desk and shelf cabinets
c. The Dining Room must include a table and chairs serving the purpose of eating
d. Bed Room must include a bed set, shelf, lighting and individual study desk and chair
e. Rest room should include bath tub and plumbing fixtures discussed in class
f. Kitchen should include countertops, gas stove cabinet and shelves to store food items
g. The wash/storage room can include washing machines and shelves to store clothes
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
AIM- To insert componnent in the revit Files based on week 2 assignment.
PROCEDURE-
- OPEN REVIT FILE
- SELECT INSERT OPTION THEN GOTO FAMILY
- SELECT THE REQUIRED COMPONENTS FROM THE FAMILY SUCH AS DOORS,FURNITURES, LIGHTS ETC.
- SELECT THE CAMERA OPTION THEN CREATE THE VIEWS IN THE ROOM TO GET THE COMPONENTS.
RESULT-
Required components are places successfully.
- Placeing Doors and windows in the wall
- Living Room
- dining
