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

25/07/21

ANSWERS

1) Use the project file created from Week 2. Use it for this assignment. Based on your layout from week 2, using the floor tool under the architecture tab and select the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser to create a layout in the Ground floor level. Align the floor plan with grids created from week 2.

Step-1 to change the generic 12''or 6'' to the 4'' floor level

• make the architecture tab>floor tool. to create a floor.
• while creating the floor, there are types to change in terms of thickness.
• use the edit type>duplicate> change the default thickness into 4''.
• make it apply and ok.
• make the default setting as per the height or depth for the floor.
• we want to check the levels as per the elevation view.

Step-2 to create the grids as per the layouts.

• make the architecture tab>grids
• left to right we want to name it as numerical.
• top to bottom we want to name it as alphabets.

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.

to change the materials of the wall and floor

• use the edit type>duplicate> change the default name.
• make it apply and ok.
• in the structure tab>edit>edit assembly
• materials>categoires
• ok and apply.

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

to constraints fixing

• to change the base and top constraints setting, we want to do.
• select floor> properties tab> base and top constraints setting
• make as the level as the reference.
• if that is base we set it as level 1

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

• we considered as the level 1 is a base if the height we are using the level 1 act as the baseline.
• the height is raising at the top level.
• if we considered as the level 1 is the top, the depth option, level 1 is the top and the flor is decrease.

3) Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modeled 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

• modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align elements to a different level
• • select>modify tab>copy clipboard
  • paste>align to the selected view

• make the level -2 to constraints to level-3

• to change the base and top constraints setting, we want to do.
• select floor> properties tab> base and top constraints setting
• make as the level as the reference.
• if that is base we set it as level 2

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’)

to change the generic 12''or 6'' to interior partition wall

• make the architecture tab>wall
• while creating the wall, there are types to change in terms of thickness.
• use the edit type>duplicate> change the default thickness into 4.5''.
• make it apply and ok.
• make the default setting as per the height or depth for the floor.
• we want to check the levels as per the elevation view.

as per requirement

• Living Room/ Drawing Room
• Dining Room
  Bed Room
  Rest Room
  Kitchen

add all furniture and window and door, guest room.

5) Based on the week 2 assignment, the components to be included in a residential unit were inserted into 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. Restroom should include bathtub and plumbing fixtures discussed in class

f. Kitchen should include countertops, gas stove cabinet, and shelves to store food items
