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 floor by using floor tool under architecture tab by using profile file created from week 2 with appropriate material and thickness in ground floor and to align floor plan with grids created from week 2.
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1:
Select Floor from architecture tab - Architecture floor.
After selecting the floor - click on floor edit type from property browser.
STEP 2:
After selecting edit type - the dialogue box appears as shown below.
STEP 3:
Click on edit properties tab - to view edit assembly.
Select material structure as required, so that materials can be selected.
Now material browser displays after selection is made.
STEP 4:
Finally floor is applied as shown belown by pick up points.
STEP 5:
Now floor plan is aligned with grids.
RESULT:
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 walls based on the floor layout and by use of property browser to select appropriate material and thickness for walls.
To verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.
Need of understanding for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected.
Need to know Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1:
Draw the floor plan as mentioned below.
STEP 2:
Select the wall.
In property browser, click on edit option.
Now edit properties window appears as shown below.
After selecting edit option - edit assembly window appears.
Now select material type, then material browser appears as shown below.
STEP 3:
After selecting material to wall, zoom the wall to view material property in detail as shown below.
STEP 4:
Now material has been applied to the wall.
STEP 5:
a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected.
Select the wall.
Go to property browser as shown below.
When the height of the height of the wall is changed to 20', the wall height changes.
If we select unconnected, the wall goes to its original position of 10'.
STEP 6:
b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
If height option is preferred for wall, the wall will be created above the level.
Similarly, when height of the wall is -10', then the wall be created below the base line.
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:
Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste from clipboard options to align elements to a different levels.
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1:
By using cursor, select the level 1 by draging mouse and select all.
Use filter option to ignore the elements that are not required.
STEP 2:
From modify tab - select copy to clipboard option as shown below.
After copying - select paste to clipboard as shown below.
By using aligned to selected levels, the paste from clipboard is used.
Now the elements are aligned to different level.
RESULT:
Now the elements are aligned to different level by using copy and paste from clipboard.
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 create create separate rooms within your residential unit.
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1:
Select interior wall type from Architecture tab - Wall.
STEP 2:
Interior walls are created as shown below.
STEP 3:
Since there is the change in dimension for several rooms, the walls are moved and removed as per requirement.
STEP 4:
Now change the property of the interior wall from property browser.
Use the property as same as used for exterior wall.
STEP 5:
Now check on the plan, which would have changed.
RESULT:
The Interior partition walls are created successfully.
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

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 include appropriate components in appropriate locations to add details to your residential model, based on week 2 assignment.
PROCEDURE:
STEP 1:
First we need to attach furniture components in Living room as shown below.
For that select architecture tab - component - load family.
Insert required elements to living area as shown.
STEP 2:
