Creating Walls, Partition walls and Floors for a residential layout using REVIT
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 ground floor plan and need to apply the materials and thickness using the property browser for walls. Verity using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained. Need to undersatand the benefits of connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected.
INTRODUCTION :
- One of the most important elements are walls.
- Like other basic elements in a building model, walls are instances of predefined system family types, which represent standard varieties of wall function, composition, and thickness.
- Place a Wall. Add one or more instances of a specific type of architectural wall to the building model
- A part from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic.
PROCEDURE :
Step:-1
- Select the wall in box above the screen
- After selecting the wall, edit the wall thickness height width in property browser.
Step:-2
- use the edit option to edit the wall types
- We select the wall what we want
- After clicking that, the material browser appears, then select the material type as Brick, Soldier Course as shown below.

Step:-3
- draw the wall on screen we need zoom the wall and check the properties
Step:-4
- were we applied the material on wall

Step:-5
- the floor plan is alligned to the grid
RESULT :
- Finally marterial and dimensions are fitted to the wall as shown below


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 :
To create a floor plan and need to apply the materials and thickness using the property browser for walls.
INTRODUCTION :
- The residential model components are furniture set, couch table, TV desk, shelf cabinets, bed set, shelf, lighting, individual study desk, chair, bath tub and plumbing fixtures discussed in class.
- These components are very important in the building model for construction. Comming to the 3d modeling in the revit, these components are present in the library and we need to insert them into the model.
PROCEDURE :
Step:-1
- taken a wall option to draw
- After selecting the wall, click the edit type from the properties browser, as shown below
Step:-2
- use the edit option to edit the edit assembly
- what we want it can be taken in material properties
- select the material type as an brick

Step:-3
- After complete the process of material applied we want to check with zoom
Step:-4
- edit the level height of 20' or taken also 10'
- if u change the height of wall and also change the height of levels
- because not both the objects are changed automattically
Step:-5
a.) Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
- here height of level and walls are changed
- Need to select the top constraint as Unconnected, The height of the wall doesn't changes with the levels.
- When we put the level height to the 20, The only level height is changes, the wall height will not be changed.
Step:-6
b.) Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Heightor By Depth?
- When we select the height option for the wall,
- Then wall can created above the level, as shown below.
RESULT :


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 Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align elements to a different level
INTRODUCTION :
- Cut or copy elements to the clipboard.
- Click Modify tab Clipboard panel Paste drop-down, and select one of the following options: Aligned to Selected Levels: If you copy all model elements, you can paste them into one or more levels. In the dialog that displays, choose the levels by name.
PROCEDURE :
- Select the floor walls materials all of them
- And the copy option to use the clipboard



- paste option in same the clipboard options with use to alligned the selected levels
- finaly the levels are alligned to given levels
RESULT :

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 interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit. The model must include the following rooms
INTRODUCTION :
- They have a many types walls in revits examples like Exterior, Interior, Retaining, Foundation, Soffit, or Core-shaft.
-
Partition walls are walls that divide the floor area of the building into smaller rooms to give the inhabitants of the building a sense of privacy. The cross section of non-load bearing walls is thin.
PROCEDURE :
- Taken a wall on clipboard box
- And edit the wall with use of edit option

- maken an dupilcate the wall and given as name of partition wall
- And go to edit give wall thickness 4.5" inches and make ok and apply to use it
RESULT :
- The interior partition walls as create is shown below


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 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, bath tub and plumbing fixtures discussed in class.
- These components are very important in the building model for construction.
- Comming to the 3d modeling in the revit, these components are present in the library and we need to insert them into the model
PROCEDURE :
Step:-1
- First we insert the furniture components in the hall as shown below.
Step:-2
- Next we insert the kitchen components from the library as shown in the below figure.

Step:-3
- use the insert option to insert the bed components from the library
Step:-4
- below the figure shows the top view of the components

Step:-6
- let we se the view of 3 dimension view and visible the all there components
RESULT :
- As the result as shown the view of all components placed with us of library
