- First, we move the cursor to the view cube, then hold the view cube with the curser, then rotate the view in the different directions
STEP-2
- Use the view cube to rotate the 3D model by holding the view cube with the curser, as shown in the below figures.
STEP-3
- Open the steering wheel at right side of the screen, as shown below.
- After opening the steering wheel, we need to select the pan option, then hold and move the 3d model view to the different positions, as shown below.
- Open the steering wheel at right side of the screen, as shown below.
- After opening the steering wheel, we need to select the orbit option, then hold and rotate the 3d model view to the different directions, as shown below.
RESULT
The three-dimensional model is navigated using the view cube, Orbit and Pan by holding them with the curser, as shown in the above procedure.
8. AIM
Use the visibility settings option to switch model to shaded realistic, hidden lines options
INTRODUCTION
- Using the visibility settings we can change the visibility of model, such as Wireframe, Hidden line
- Here we need to change visibility of 3d model to three types, they are: Hidden line, shaded, Consistent colors, Realistic, Ray trace, Shaded Realistic
PROCEDURE
STEP-1
- At the bottom click the graphic display settings option, then select the Realistic option
- The visibility of the 3d model is changed to the realistic, as shown below
STEP-2
- At the bottom click the graphic display settings option, then select the hidden tine option The visibility of the 3d model is changed to the hidden line, as shown below.
STEP-3
- At the bottom click the graphic display settings option, then select the shaded tine option The visibility of the 3d model is changed to the shaded line, as shown below.
RESULT
The viability of the 3D model is successfully switched to shaded, realistic hidden End
9. AIM
To turn the sun path on and off to view shadings in the layout.
INTRODUCTION
- The sun's movement is an important consideration when designing high performance buildings.
- To understand the impact of the solar position on your building, you can use the Sun and Shadows settings in Revit to visualize the position of the sun at your location at any time of the day or of the year.
- You can also see the shadows that your project will be cast upon the surroundings as well as seeing the shadows cost upon your building surfaces.
PROCEDURE
STEP-1
- Click the Sun Fath icon at the bottom of the Revit display area to open the Sun Path menu, select the sun path ON
- If a window pops up asking you to select the option Use the specified project location, date, and time instead to display the Sun Path select it
STEP-2
- Then the Sun Path Interface displays the ground compass, the position of the sun, time of day, and time of the year.
STEP-3
- Click the Sun Paths icon at the bottom of the Revit display area to open the Sun Path menu, select the suis paths OFF
RESULT
The sun path is turned on and off, that displays the ground compass, the position of the sun time of day, and time of the year
10. AIM

11.
- Analyze toolbar helps you to perform analysis on our structural building.
- The boundary conditions enable you to define point line and I area boundary conditions in an analytical model.
- It will verify the boundary condition family types are loaded and assigned in your parametric features of the structural model.
- Similarly, we can apply point load to a model to evaluate the performance of the building
- Similarly, we can add and edit load cases to define the design standard suggested load case to a model,
- we can combine different load cases using load combination icon. It will enable to add and edit load combinations for the analytical model.
- The main purpose of using the Revit to evaluate the sustainability of the building that we modelling. So, we will be interested in evaluating the energy or energy optimization of the building that we are going to model.
- So, Revit offers features such as it creates an energy model from the features we have modelled in our project and then the energy analytical model will be based on the conceptual masses.
- The building elements, and the material that we use to construct the building and the quantity and the amount of material that are used in our project
12.
- The links that Revit supports to be linked to the model are
- LINK REVIT. This allows to link another Revit model to the current model, e.g.: we can link models together to specify the related individual building on a campus or to coordinate efforts across disciplines architectural structural, mechanical)
- LINK IFC To link (FC file to current model to reference its information for additional design work UNK CAD- To link the 2d cod file to current Revit file to create 3d by Revit tools
- MANAGE LINKS-Provides feature to manage the links to the building models, e.g., if we are linking the electrical and structural model to remove electrical from structural, go to link manager and unload the model we don’t want
13.
- Collaborate tab in Revit which supports modeling and its efficiency.
- You can link multiple Revit models together, allowing team members to work in context. Through work-sharing, users on the same local area network (LAN) can work together in the same Revit model
- When collaboration needs to occur among users who are not in the same geographic location, use Revit Server or Revit Cloud Work-sharing
- Revit Server connects offices who share a network but are not in the same geographic location.
- Revit Cloud Work-sharing is a cloud-based service that allows any Revit users Inside or outside a network a Revit model.
