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

AIM:

1)To create floor 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

2)To 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?

3)To 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

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

a. Living Room/ Drawing Room
b. Dining Room
c. Bed Room
d. Rest Room
e. Kitchen The above are for examples.

may include entry walkway, Patios or Guest
rooms based on your creativity and purpose of modeling.

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

PROCEDURE:

1) Open the project made in week 2 which was saved by the name project3. go to the architecture tab and select floor option and then select pick lines and select all the four outer lines of the drawing and select close .

select the floor in the 3d view and

then go to the properties browser select edit type and then select edit option

and then select the three dots in category and then select the the wood teak option.

and then press enter and apply. similarly you can also set the thickness from the same process .

2) Go to the 3d view and select wall and then go to edit type then edit

then go to category

then select the reuired type brick common

and press ok then apply.

the material of the wall is changed.

similarly for the thickness select a wall select edit type from property browser and then select edit and then instead of category select thickness tab and change thickness from 8" to 1'.

then press ok and apply.

the thickness of the wall is changed.

select wall and from properties browser check the top and base constraint of wall is connected or not.

a) According to my observation connected wall is beneficial rather than unconnected because by setting the level height we can easily draw a wall till the first floor instead of setting heights and if we want to change the height of the wall we can make it unconnected and change its height.

b) Height option is convineint for modelling according to me more than depth because in height the wall grows upwards rather than in depth it grows doenwards .

3) go to the ground floor plan and select the whole drawing and select copy to clipboord option

then go to the paste option near it select assign to selected levels.

and then select first floor and press enter.

4) Go to the architecture tab select room option

and start marking the rooms using inner partition wall . mark all the rooms bedroom

restroom

living room

for dining room select room seperator and mark the room.
