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
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.
PROCEDURE:-
1.First we select the floor as shown below. After selecting the floor, click the edit type from the properties browser, as shown below.
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.
3. After clicking the edit option, the edit assembly tab appears. We select the material type in 2nd roow as shown below.
After clicking that, the material browser appears, then select the material type as Concrete, cast-in-place gray as shown below.
4. Finally the material is applyed to the floor, as shown below.
6. 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.
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 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 undersatand 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 By Depth.
PROCEDURE:-
1. First we select the wall as shown below. After selecting the wall, click the edit type from the properties browser, as shown below
2. After clicking the edit option, the edit assembly tab appears. We select the material type in 2nd roow as shown below.
After clicking that, the material browser appears, then select the material type as Brick, Soldier Course as shown below.
3. After applying the material to the walls, we need to zoom the wall to see the material type very closely, as shown below.
4. Finally the material has been applied to the walls as shown below.
5. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected.
6. If we select the top constraint as Up to level: Level-3, The height of the wall changes with the levels.
7. When we put the level height to the 10', then height of the 10', then height of the wall is also changes to the 10', as Shown below.
8. The height of level is changed and the height of the wall is also changes, as shown on the below figure.
9. 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 10', The only level height is changes, the wall height will not be changed
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 modeling walls.
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 alignelements to a different level.
AIM:- Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align elements to a different level.
PROCEDURE:-
1. First we select the total groundfloor, then we groundfloor is copied to clipboard. Then use paste option to align elements to a different level, as shown below.
2. Next use paste option to align elements to a different level, as shown below.
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
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 separate rooms within your residential unit using the interior partition walls.
PROCEDURE:-
1. First select the interior wall, and change the wall type as partition wall, as shown below.
2. The interior partition walls are created, as shown in the below figures.
RESULT:-
The interior partition walls are successfully created.
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
AIM:- To insert the components in appropriate locations to add details to the residential model, based on the week 2 assignment.
PROCEDURE:-
1. First we insert the furniture components in the hall as shown below.
2. Next we insert the kitchen components from the library as shown in the below figure.
3. Next we insert the bed room components from the library, as shown in the below figure.
4. Here is the way to bedroom, toilet and kitchen room; as shown in the below figure.
5. The all components are inserted from the library, as shown in the below figure.
6. Next the layout plan is turned to the three dimensional view, and the all components will be visible in this view.
RESULT:-
The all components are inserted successfully from the library in the systematic manner.
