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 property browser
• To align the floor plan grids created in week 2.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open Revit software.
• Now open the project drawn in week 2.

• bb

• Go to Architecture>Floor>Create floor boundary>line.

• Select the floor and go to Edit type.

• Type properties window will appear as shown.

• Click on duplicate and change the name as "floor material".
• Click on edit option.
• Edit assembly tab will appears.

• Select material type.
• Material browser tab will appear.
• Select material type as softwood,Lumber.
• Press ok.

• Finally, material is assign to the floor.

• Go to Ground floor.
• Now draw the grid lines.

RESULT:-

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.

AIM:-

• To create a floor plan and apply the material and thickness using the property browser for walls.
• To verify if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained using the property browser.
• To understand the benefits of connecting walls and the associate levels rather than being unconnected.
• To know which option is convenient for modelling walls, by height or depth.

PROCEDURE:-

• Select the wall floor as shown of existing project.

• Go to Edit type.

• Type properties window will appear as shown.

• Click on edit option.
• Edit assembly tab will appears.

• Select material type.
• Material browser tab will appear.
• Select material type as softwood,Lumber.
• Press ok.

• The material is applied to the wall floor as shown.

B)

• Now select the wall.

• In property tab> wall constraints.
• Go to top constraints and select unconected.

• The initial roof level is 10'.

• Change the level to 20'.We can observe the wall remain unmoved.

• So connecting wall is convenient as it can move along the levels.

C)

• While creating wall two options is avilable as height and depth.
• If we select depth it goes downwards to level as shown.

• If we select height it goes upwards to level as shown.

FINAL RESULT:-

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 use copy and paste and align the plan to other levels.

PROCEDURE:-

• Go to the 3D view.
• Select the 3D model.
• Copy the model.

• Go to paste and select aligned to select levels.

• Select roof and press ok.

RESULT:-

4) Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit.

AIM:-

To create seprate rooms within the residential building using interior partition wall.

PROCEDURE:-

• Select the interior walls as shown.

• In property tab change the wall type as partition wall.

• Hence interior partiton wall has been created.

RESULT:-

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 and add details to residential model.

PROCEDURE:-

• Open 3D model of the project.
• Go to architecture tab > place a component > load families.

• Add furnitures, plumbing, fixtures, kitchen componemts etc.
• Now go to architecture tab> place a component> go to properties and add the components one by one.

• Now use camera to take photos of each components of building.
