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

 

• 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 the property browser.
• To align the 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, and wood, 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. 
• Floor plans are the most critical element of your house plans. Drawn to scale and shown from above, floor plans illustrate how rooms, spaces, and 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 and interact with their home.
• Floor plans show the extent to which a space will work for its intended purpose.

    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 edit type, the type properties tab will be visible on the screen, shown below.
• Next we change the material type by clicking the edit option as shown below.   Step:-3

• After clicking the edit option, the edit assembly  tab appears.
• We select the material type in 2nd room as shown below.
• After clicking that, the material browser appears, then select the material type as Concrete, cast-in-place grey as shown below.

          

 

    Step:-4

• Finally the material is applied to the floor, as shown below.

         

 

    Step:-5

• Next Floor plan is aligned to the grids, as shown in the below figure.

         

 

    RESULT:-

• The materials are applied to the floor and the floor plan is successfully aligned with 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.

1. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
   b. Which option is convenient for modelling 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. 
• Verify using the property browser to see if the top and 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 modelling walls, By Height or By 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 material used for construction. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, and wood, 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 wall as shown below.
• After selecting the wall, click the edit type from the properties browser, as shown below

         

 

    Step:-2

• After clicking the edit option, the edit assembly  tab appears.
• We select the material type in 2nd room as shown below.
• After clicking that, the material browser appears, then select the material type as  Brick, Soldier Course as shown below.

          

 

    Step:-3

• After applying the material to the walls, we need to zoom the wall to see the material type very closely, as shown below.

         

 

    Step:-4

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

         

 

    Step:-5                                                                    

• Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected.
• If we select the top constraint as Up to level: Level-2, The height of the wall changes with the levels.
• When we put the level height to the 20', then height of the wall is also changes to the 20', as shown below.

         

• The height of level is changed and the height of the wall is also changes, as shown on the below figure.     

• If we 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.        

• The height of level is changed and the height of the wall will not changes, as shown on the below figure.

         

 

    Step:-6

1. Which option is convenient for modelling walls, By Height or By Depth?

When we select the height option for the wall, The wall will be created above the level, as shown below.                 

• When we select the height option for the wall, The wall will be created below the level, as shown below.

          

          

 

   RESULT:-

• Successfully applied materials to the walls.
• The top and bottom of the walls are constrained.
• Beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels is when level height changes, the wall height is also changes.
• Height option is convenient for modelling walls.

         

         

         

         

         

 

 

 

• 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 alignments to a different level.

 

    AIM:- 

• Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align elements to a different level.

    INTRODUCTION:-

• Floor plans are the most critical element of your house plans. Drawn to scale and shown from above, floor plans illustrate how rooms, spaces, and 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 and interact with their home.
• Floor plans show the extent to which a space will work for its intended purpose.

    PROCEDURE:-

    Step:-1

• First we select the total ground floor, then we ground floor is copied to clipboard.
• Then use paste option to align elements to a different level, as shown below.

         

         

 

    Step:-2

• Next use paste option to align elements to a different level, as shown below.

         

 

    Step:-3

• Finally the elements are aligned to the different level, as shown in the below figure.        

 

   RESULT:-

• The elements are successfully aligned to the different level using the copy and paste options.

         

 

 

 

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

1. 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 modelling. Convert units if you are using metric system.

     AIM:- 

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

    INTRODUCTION:-

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

    PROCEDURE:-

    Step:-1

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

            

 

    Step:-2

• The interior partition walls are created, as shown in the below figures.

         

   

 

   RESULT:-

• The interior partition walls are successfully created.
