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:- To create a layout in the ground floor level and also align the floor plan with grids created from week 2 by using floor tool under architecture tab and select the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser.

INTRODUCTION:-The procedure to create the layout in thr ground floor level is explained in detail using floor tool under architecture tab

PROCEDURE:-

• Open Revit 2022 Architecture
• Click on page open under the architecture template which has been done on Week 2 challenges
• Go to Project Browser
• Select Project Browser>Floor Plans>Ground Plan

• Select the thickness of the floor as 100 mm
• Rename it as residential floor
• Click OK

RESULT:-Ground floor layout has been created with the use of Revit 2022. And also able to assign the properties and thickness of the floor

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.

AIM:- To create a wall based on the floor layout along with use the property browser to select appropriate materials and thickness for walls and also use the property browser to ensure that the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.

INTRODUCTION:- The properties to create a wall based on the properties of wall along with appropriate materials is explained using the property browser.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open Revit 2022 Architecture
• Click on page open under the architecture template which has been done on Week 2 challenges
• Go to Architecture>Wall
• Select external wall of 230 mm

• Go to edit type to select the properties of wall

• Duplicate it as External wall-230 mm

• Duplicate it as internal wall-115 mm

• Go to edit type to select the properties of wall

RESULT:- Walls based on the floor layout has been created

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 align
elements to a different level

AIM:-To copy the model elements i.e. wall and floor modelled to ground floor level and aligned it to first floor level and also use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align elements to a different level.

INTRODUCTION:- The properties to copy the model elements to ground floor level is explained in detail with the use of REVIT 2022

PROCEDURE:-

• Open Revit 2022 Architecture
• Click on page open under the architecture template which has been done on Week 2 challenges
• Go to Architecture>Wall
• Go to file>modify
• Go to project Browser>Floor plan-Ground floor level
• 
• Select the ground floor of the building
• Go for file>modify>copy to clipboard

• Select level 2>Paste>Assigned to selected levels.
• Click OK
• Now the one structure is converted into 2-story building structure.

RESULT:- One story structure of a building has been converted into 2-story building structure with the use of clipboard options.

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:-To use partition walls to create separate rooms within its residential units and also to introduce other entities such as walkway, patios or guests etc.

• Go to project Browser>Floor plan-Ground floor level
• Select internal wall type
• Go to edit type to select the properties of wall.

• Rooms have been created based on the given requirements

• For railing, go to architecture>modify>railing

• Select railing path>properties>select base level-2
• Select boundary line.
• Click OK
• In this way raailing has been created

RESULTS:- Partitions wall have been created along with other entities with the use of REVIT 2022

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

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 the component units to the residential unit in appropriate locations with the use of REVIT 2022

INTRODUCTION:- Insertion of components units is being explained with the use of REVIT 2022

PROCEDURE:-
