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 floor plan and need to apply the materials and thickness using properties browser,

To align floor plan with grids created from week 2.

INTRODUCTION :

Building material is material used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, wood, and even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic.

PROCEDURE ;

STEP 1:

• First we select the floor as shown below
• after selecting the floor click the edit type from the properties browser as shown below

STEP 2:

• After clicking the editing type , properties tab will be visible on the screen, shown below
• next we change the material type by clicking edit option as shown below.

STEP 3:

• After clicking the edit option , edit assembly tab appears,
• we select the material type in 2 row as shown below,
• after clicking that material browser appears , then select the material type as concrete cast in place grey as shown below

STEP 4 :

• Finally the material apply to the floor as shown below,

STEP 5:

Next floor plan is allined to the grids , as shown in the below fig.

RESULT :

The material applied to the floor and floor plan is successfully aligned to the grids

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 properties browser,

Verify using property browser to see if the top and bottom of the wall are constrained.

beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected

convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth.

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

• First , we have to select the wall as shown below,
• after selecting the wall , click the edit types from the properties browser , as shown below,

STEP 2;

• After clicking the editing option , the edit assembly tab appears,
• we select the material type , in the 2nd row as shown below,
• after clicking the material browser appears , then select the material type as brick solider course as shown below,

STEP 3:

• Applying to the material walls , we have to zoom the wall to see the material type very closely as shown below,

STEP 4:

• Finally ,material has been applied to the walls as shown below,

STEP 5:

a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected

• If we select the top constraint has upto the level , the height of the wall changes to levels
• when we put the level height as 20', the wall height also changes to 20'
• the height of the level changed, and the height of the walls also changed.

• if we select the top constraint to unconnected, the height of the walls does not change with the levels
• when we put 20' height, the height of the wall changed but levels not changed.

STEP 6 :

• WHen we select the height option of the wall, the wall will be created above the level,
• 
• Upto level 1,

RESULTS :

1. Suucessfully applied to the material of the walls
2. The top and bottom of the wall are constrained
3. beneficial for connecting walls with associating levels is when level height changes the wall height also changes .
4. Height option is convenient for modelling walls.

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 option to align elemnets to a different levels

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

• First we select the ground floor then we copied ground floor to the clipoard
• then use paste options to align elements to a different levels as shown below,

STEP 2:

Finally elements are aligned to the different level as shown in the fig,

RESULT :

The Elements are Aligned to the differnt levels using copy and paste 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 create seperate rooms within your residential units using teh interior partition walls

PROCEDURE :

STEP1 :

• First select the interior wall, and change the wall into partition wall as shown below,
• 

STEP 2:

• Interior partition wall created as shown below,
• 
• 

RESULTS :

Interior partition walls are created suceesfully.

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 models , based on the week 2 assignment.

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1:

• First we insert the furniture components to the hall

STEP 2:

Next we insert the kitchen compionents from the librarey

STEP 3:

Next we insert the bedroom components from the library

STEP 4:

Here is the way to bedroom, kitchen, toilet room as hown in below,

STEP 5:

All components in serted from the library as shown in fig

STEP 6:

Next the layout of the plan is turned to the 3 dimensional views and the all components are visible in the view,

RESULTS :

All components are inserted from the library in the systematic manner.
