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

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

Jagadeep.M.M

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 & need to apply the materials & thickness using the property browser for walls.Verity using the property browser to see if the top & bottom of the walls are constrained. Need to understand the benefits of connecting walls with associated levelels rather than being unconnected.

Introduction:

• One of the most important elements are walls.
• Like other basic elements in abuilding model,walls are instances of predefinrd system family types, which reprasent standard varieties of wall function, composition, & thickness.

Procedure:

Step 1:

• First we open the week 2 project.
• After select the floor tool,select pick point & pick the corner of the wall, press tick mark.

• click the edit type from the properties browser.
• change the thick ness of the floor as 6".

Step 2:

• Add the material in the floor plan

• The floor plan is alligned to grid.

Result:

• Finally material & 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 & need to apply the materials & thickness using the property browser for walls. verity using the property browser to see if the top & bottom of the walls are constrained. Need to understand the benefits of connecting walls with associated levels rather than being unconnected .Need to know which option is convenient for modeling walls. by height or depth.

Introduction:

• Walls are arguably one of the most important elements of any building.As such, the wall tool is a prominent function of Autodesk Revit Architecture.
• Building material is used for construction. many naturally occuring substances, such as clay, rocks,sand,& wood, even twigs & levels, have been used to construct buildings.

Procedure:

• First we selec the wall as shown below.
• The wall thickness will be 8".

Step 2:

• Click on the edit type , the edit assembly tab appears.
• we select the material type as shown below.selected material as parking stripe.

• now we change the wall thickness as 8" to 12" for the edit type option.

• After complete the process of material applied we want to check with zoom.

Step 3:

• edit the level height of 20' or taken also 10'.
• if we change the height of wall & also change the height of levels.
• Because not both the objects are not automatically.

Step 4:

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

• Here height of level & wall are changed.
• Need to select the top constrained 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 5:

b) Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By height or Depth?

• When we select the height option for the wall.
• Then wall can created above the level,as shown below.

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 & paste options to align elements to a different level.

Introduction:

• floor plans are the most critical element of your house plans drawn to scale & shown from above,floor plans illustrate how rooms, spaces, & physical features work in relation to each other within the home.
• They're the key documents that show how people will move through the space & interact with their home.
• Floor plans show the extent to which a space will work for its intended purpose.

Procedure:

Step 1:

• Open the elevation east view.
• select the ground floor, then the ground floor copied to clipboard.

• Click on the paste option & select the Aligned to selected Levels as first floor.

Result: The elements are successfully aligned to different levels using copy & 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’)

AIM:

To create separate rooms within your residential unit using the interior partitiom walls.

Introduction:

• The walls that make for division or privacy in the interior potion of a building & not carried the ceiling load & floor load & that would make with bricks, glass or other more materials are called partition walls.
• It has many types like folding, collapsible & fixed types.
• If they came a load of the walls & ceilings, then it's called an interior wall the partition wall is the none load-bearing wall, it doesn't support the floor or ceiling.used only for design purpose & partition purpose.
• Partition wall connects the floor & ceiling.

Procedure:

Step 1:

• First select the interior walls & change the wall type & name as basick walls

• The interior basic wall are created.

Result : Theinterior Basic wall 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
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 toadd details to the residential model, based on the work Challeng 2

Introduction:

• The residential model components are furniture set couch table,TV desk shelf cabinets,bed set shell, lighting individual study desk chair.

Procedure:

Step 1:

• Placing the door & windows in proper position.

Step 2:

• Select the camera & place the in the plan,as shown below.
• Fast we insert the furniture components in the Hall as shown below.
• Rename the view in the project browser.

Result:

• The living room

• Insert the dinner hallcomponents from the library as dining table with chairs,as shown below the figure.

• Insert the bed room components from the library as bed set, lighting, study desk with chair,as shown below.

• Insert the Rest room component from the library bath tub and plumbing fixtures as shown below.

• Insert the kitchen components from the library, as countertops,gas stove, shelves to store food items as shown below.

• Insert the stroage room components from the library, as washing machine & shelves to store cloths as shown below.

Result: All the components are inserted from the library successfully using revit software.
