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 flooring in the Architectural toolbar tab and give the floor material in the week 2 layout model using the Revit software

Introduction:

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

Procedure:

In this challenge I am using the layout of the model in the week 2 challenge created layout
And I added the some components of the building using the Components toolbar in the Architectural tab
The 2D & 3D view of the layout is created as shown in below figures

And go to Project browser tab then select the Level 1 floor plan view
Then select the Floor: Architectural tool in the Architecture tab
Next select the Line option in the Modify tab
And create floor out line in the Level 1 floor plan

Here, after draw the floor out line is completed
Then select the Tic option in the Modify tab

Finally the floor is created using the Floor option in the Architecture tab
Then select the Edit Type option in Properties tab
And click Edit option
Then give a floor thickness is 3"

And click OK button, Then click Apply button and again click OK button
The floor is change in 3 inches as shown in below figure

Here, I have to givea flooring material using the Properties tab and click Edit type option
And select the By Categies option

Then click Create New Material then click Open/Close asset browser option in the Material Browser dialogue box

And select the Appearance Library in the Asset Browser dialogue box
Select Flooring option and select Beechwood-Toast brown flooring
And then double the flooring material

After that click Apply button and select Ok button
Then finally the flooring material is assigned to the created generic floor
The floor is created as shown in below figure

After that finally take the screenshots in where I want to submit the images for questions
The snipping tool shortcut is Windows Key+Shift+S
Then copy the images and attach in the writing pad

Result:

The creation of a flooring in the Architectural toolbar tab and give the floor material in the week 2 challenge layout model using the Revit software is created successfully

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 understand the creation of walls and modifying the wall properties in the Properties browser tab in week 2 challenge model layout using the Revit software

Introduction:

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.

After complete this process, then select any of the wall in the building model
And again click Edit Type option in the Properties tab
Then edit the wall thickness is 1 feet
Click OK button and Appy and again click OK button

After change the wall thickness is as shown in below figure

After that finally take the screenshots in where I want to submit the images for questions
The snipping tool shortcut is Windows Key+Shift+S
Then copy the images and attach in the writing pad

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

The connecting of walls using the Properties tab select the Top constraint to the Level 2
The unconnected height is gave automatically in 20 feet
But, here I have already created the Levels in the Project file using the Levels option in Architecture tab

b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?

My convenient is by Height method of modeling the wall

Result:

The understand of the creation of walls and modifying the wall properties in the Properties browser tab in week 2 challenge model layout using the Revit software is completed successfully

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 understand the process of Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level in the Revit software

Introduction:

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

Procedure:

First of all select the model drawing, all components of the buildign such as walls, floor and other fixtures
Then go to the Modify tab

The Modify tab is as shown in below drawing
And select the Copy to Clipboard option in the Modify tab
Then select the Paste option

After that select the Aligned to Selected Levels in under the Paste option

And click OK button

The selected level dialogue box as shown in below figure

The process of the copy the layout is finished
After finish the progress the building is as shown in below figure

After that finally take the screenshots in where I want to submit the images for questions
The snipping tool shortcut is Windows Key+Shift+S
Then copy the images and attach in the writing pad

Result:

The understand of the process of Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level in the Revit software is created successfully

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 a residential unit with using the dimensions as given in the question in Revit software

Introduction:

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

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 of the building available in the revit library in Revit software

Introduction:

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
