Creating Walls, Partition walls and Floors for a residential layout using REVIT
1. Aim - 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.
Introduction - Building material is used for construction. Many naturally occuring susbstances such as clay ,rock, sand even
twings and leaves have been used to construction building.
Apart from naturally occuring material , 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 illustarte how
rooms , spaces and physical works in relation to each other within the home.
Floor plans show the extent to which a space will work for its intended purpose.
Procedure - First we select the floor.
After selecting the floor ,click edit type from the properties browser.
After clicking the edit type the edit properties tab will be visible on the screen.
Next we change the material type by clicking the edit option.
After clicking the edit option the edit assembly tab appears.
We select the material type in 2nd room
After clicking that the material browser appears.
Finally the material has been aplied to the floor .
Next floor plan is aligned to the grids.
Result - The materials are apllied to the floors and the floor plan is successfully aligned to the grids.
2. Aim - 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.
Introduction - Walls are arguably the most important element in any building.
Such as the walls tool is the promienent function of the Revit Architecture.
Apart from naturaaly occuring materials many man made products are in use some more and some less synthetic.
Procedure - First we selct the wall
After selceting the wall click edit type from the properties browser.
After clicking the edit option the edit assembly tab appears.
We select the material type in 2nd row .
After clicking that the material browser appears Then select the material type as
After applying the materials to the wall , we need to zoom the to see material type very closely.
Finally the material has been aplied to the walls.
a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
If we selct the constraints up to level 2,The height of the wall changes with levels.
When we put the height to the 20',the height of the wall is also changes to the 20'.
If we select the constraints as unconnected , the height of the wall doest not changes with levels.
When we put the height to the 20',The only height we changes , The wall height will not be chnages.
The height of the wall is changed and height of the wall will not changes.
b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
When we select the height option for the wall , The wall will be created above the level.
When we select the height option for the wall, the wall will be created below the level.
Result - Successfully aplied material to the wall.
The top and bottom of the wall are constrained.
Benificial for concreting wall with associate levels is when the height change the wall height is also changed.
Height option is convenient for modelling wall.
3. Aim - 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
Introduction - floors plans are the most critical element of your house plans. Draw to scale and show from above , floor
plans illustrate how rooms, spaces and physical feature works in relation to each other within the home.
They are the key documents that show how people will move through the space and interact with their home.
Floors plans show the extent to which space will work for its intend purpose.
Procedure - First we select the total groundfloor then we groundfloor copied to the clipboard.
The use option to align elements to a different levels.
Next use paste option to align elements to a different levels.
Finally elements are aligned to the different level.
Result - The elements are succssefully aligned to the diffrent level using the copy and paste option.
4. Aim - 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.
Introduction - The walls that make for division or privacy in the interior portion of a building and not cariied to the ceiling
load and that would make with bricks , glass ,or other more materials is called partition wall.
It has many types such as folding , collapsible, and fixed types.
If they carried the load of the walls and ceilling is called interior walls.
The partition is the none load bearing of the wall , it doesnot support the floor and ceiling , used only the design purpose and
partition purpose.
Partition walls connects the floor and ceiling.
Procedure - First we select the interior wall and chnaged the wall type as partion wall.
The interior partition wall is created.
Result - The interior partion wall is successfully created.
5. Aim - 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
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
Introduction - The residential componenets are furniture set ,couch table,TV desk ,shelf cabinate ,lighting ,study desk ect.
These componenets are very important in building model for construction.
coming to the 3D modelling in the Revit , these components are present in the library and we need to the insert them into the model
Procedure - First we insert the furniture components in the hall.
Next ewe insert the kitchen componenets from the libraries.
Next we insert the bed components from the libraries.
The all components are inserted from libraeries.
Next the layout plan is turned to the 3D view, and the all the components will be vissible.
Result - The all components are inserted from the library in the systematic manner.
