6 ANSWER:

AIM:o create a 3d view of the layout and name the view

PROCEDURE:

• Click on view tool bar and select 3d view as shown in figure
• 

• Then the 3d view of layout is as shown

• 
• Then to change the view name click on 3D views and change the name as shown, (Here i named as WALL 3D)
• 

RESULT:Hence 3D view is created and named.

7 ANSWER:

AIM:To navigate through the 3D model using view cube.orbit /pan through the model layout created

PROCEDURE:

• Navigate the model through the view cube that is present at top right corner as shown
• 
• Then click on the bottom,front ,top views to get the views of the layout
• 
• 
• 
• To orbit  or pan through the model click on full navigation wheel in which navigation bar is located below the view cube
• 
• click on  orbit or pan and use it 
• 

RESULT:Hence navigation of the model is done with view cube and pan,orbit options

8 ANSWER:

AIM:Using the visibility settings option below to switch model to shaded,realistic,hidden lines options

PROCEDURE:

• Click on visual style option present at the bottom of tool bar
• 
• Then  change the model to shaded,hidden,realistic,wired frame views as shown in figures below
• Shaded
• 
• hidden lines
• 
• realistic
• 

RESULT:Hence hidden,realistic,shaded views are done

9 ANSWER:

AIM:To turn the sunpath on and off to view shadings in the layout

PROCEDURE:

• To turn the sun path on ,click  sunpath option that is present beside the visibility shade as shown in figure
• 
• Now add on the sun path and change the diretion of sun to get dffernt views
• 
• 

RESULT:Hence the  sunpath is on to view shadings in the layout created

10 ANSWER:

AIM:To enter project setings,projet name and project issue date 

PROCEDURE:

• Click on manage tool bar option and click on project information as shown below
• 
• Then fill in the details like project name and issue date in the new pop up and click ok
• 

RESULT:Hence projet details are entered

11 ANSWER:

AIM:Analyse tool bar used in revit and its importance

PROCEDURE:

• 
• Analyse tool bar consists different options which help in load combinations,boundary conditions,load and cases adjustments etc.
• It helps in setting the geographical location of our project.
• Robo structural analysis option is also available in this tool bar.
• Space separation,space tagging space naming etc are also different options available.
• Colour fill ,Energy optimisation are options which helps us to know how ecofriendly is our project
• These are the different options available to us in analyze tool bar which are useful in desgining and modeling.

RESULT:Hence analyse tool bar importance is known

12 ANSWER:

• The links that revit supports to be linked to a model are,

  1. LINKS REVIT MODELS - Links one revit model to the other revit model.
  2. LINKS CAD FILE- Links cad file to current revit project.
  3. LINKS IFC FILE- Links an IFC file for current revit project .
  4. LINKS PDF - Links  a pdf to current revit project .
  5. LINKS TOPOGRAPHY-Can link Topography .
  6. It also links a NWD or NWC file to extract content for the revit model .
  7. Manages links- It manages the links such as CAD ,mark up the DWF files and all the BIM works that are related to the present file.

13 ANSWER:

COLLABORATE TAB IN REVIT IMPORTANCE:

• Collaborate option allows collaboration so that team members can work on a single model simultaneosly (that is at the same time).
• We can edit and sync a model in the cloud on a Local area network(LAN) or Wide area network .
• There allowing different people to work on a single project at same helps to save time also can make work efficient .
• We can take ideas from them which helps us in modeling and increasing its efficiency .
