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
Answer:
Above is the referance wall layout used to create an architectural floor.

step 2: Under the modify tab, appropriate material and thickness was created by duplicating the existing material.
Step 3: by drawing a layout over the walls or by selecting the edge of walls, a loop was created to generate an architectural floor as desired level.
Result : Thus an architectural floor of desired thickness was created.

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
