Creating Walls, Partition walls and Floors for a residential layout using REVIT
- Question no.1
- Aim - To use project file in week 2 and create ground floor. Use material property and suitable thickness to layout.
- Introduction - In this we can use material property to create ground floor. Here we use the architecture toolbar and use for create the floor. The properties that define a material are organized into assets. Assets are groups of properties that control certain characteristics or behaviors of an object. Revit uses the following asset types to define materials Graphics (Revit only). These properties control how the material looks in non-rendered views.
- Appearance - These properties control how the material looks in rendered views, Realistic views, or Ray Trace views.
- Physical - These properties are used for structural analysis.
- Thermal (Revit only) - These properties are used for energy analysis.
- The right pane of the Material Browser dialog is sometimes referred to as the Material Editor panel, or just the Material Editor. Use the Material Editor panel to review or edit the assets and properties of a material. Only materials in the current project can be edited. When you select a material in a library, the Material Editor panel properties are read-only.

- Question no.2
- Aim - To provide walls in the layout with boundary lines.
- Introduction - Here we define the wall using architecture toolbar. Walls are nothing but the create the rooms. Walls are used for separator. Walls are used for partition. Like other basic elements in a building model, walls are instances of predefined system family types, which represent standard varieties of wall function, composition, and thickness.
- Use a Wall tool to create a non-bearing wall or a structural wall in the building model.
- Non-bearing walls: Click
(Wall: Architectural) on the - Architecture tabBuild panelWall drop-down.

- Go to unconnected height.
- Select up to level 2 or 10' height.
- All walls can be done by this way.
- See the top and bottom constraint in constrains.
- Based on observation that there no any proper option to connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected.
- Unconnected height gives the proper height to level the all walls but it change individually.
- All exterior and interior walls are in level or change done by height repsective levels.
- The option both are proper and suitable to model walls.
- But in height option there is chance to go create height at certain height on floor.
- In depth there is negative values are also used.
- In depth we create depth below the floor also.
- Its better to model heigth option to model walls.
- Question no.3
- Aim - To use modify tab to utilize copy and paste option to align elements to different levels.
- Introduction - In this we copy and paste the ground floor to first floor. There different options to copy and paste the model. But in revit we use copy to clipboard as a option. Open the file that you want to copy items from. Select the first item that you want to copy, and press CTRL+C. Continue copying items from the same or other files until you have collected all of the items that you want. The Office Clipboard can hold up to 24 items.
- The Copy to Clipboard tool copies one or more elements to the clipboard. You can then use the Paste from Clipboard or Paste Aligned tools to paste copies of the elements in the drawing or in another project.
- The Copy to Clipboard tool is different from the Copy tool. Use the Copy tool when you want to copy a selected element and place it immediately (for example, in the same view). Use the Copy to Clipboard tool, for example, when you need to switch views before placing the copies.
- Process -

- Go copy clipboard option.
