7) AIM: TO NAVIGATE THE 3D MODEL BY USING VIEW CUBE .

TOOLS / COMMANDS USED:

• VIEW
• ORBIT
• NAVIGATE BAR
• PAN

PROCEDURE:

step 1: CREATE A MODEL.

STEP 2: CLICK ON THE VIEW BAR THEN SELECT 3D VIEW OPTION AND CLICK ON DEFAULT 3D VIEW OPTION .

STEP 3: CLICK ON NAVIGATION WHEEL AND SELECT THE REQUIRE VIEW TO DISPLAY.

STEP 4: IN A SIMILAR WAY ONE CHANGE THE REQUIRED VIEW TO DISPLAY.

STEP 5: NOW SELECT THE ORBIT OPTION TO CHANGE THE PIVOT POINT.

STEP 6: NOW SELECT THE TAB OPTION TO VIEW THE MODEL IN 3D VIEW IN 360 DEGREES.

RESULTS: NAVIGATION OF 3D VIEW IS SUCCESSFULLY CREATED.

8) AIM: TO SWITCH THE MODEL TO SHADED , RELISTIC ,HIDDEN LINE BY VISIBILITY SETTING OPTION .

TOOLS /COMMANDS USED:

• VISIBILITY OPTION

STEP 1: CREATE A MODEL.

STEP 2: SELECT THE VISIBILITY OPTION WHICH IS AVALILABLE IN BOTTOM LINE .

STEP 3: AFTER CLICKING ON VISIBILITY OPTIONS ONE CAN FIND MANY OPTION LIKE SHADED, REALISTIC, HIDDEN ETC.

RESULT : NAVIGTION OF 3D VIEW IS SUCCESSFULLY CREATED.

9) TO TURN SUNLIGHT ON AND OFF TO VIEW SHADINGS IN THE LAYOUT CREATED.

TOOLS AND COMMANDS USED:

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1 : CREATE A 3D MODEL VIEW

STEP2: CHOSE MANAGE TOOL BAR AND CLICK ON ADDITIONAL SETTINGS OPTION AND SELECT SUN SETTINGS

OW

STEP 3: AFTER CLICKING ON SUN SETTING A DIALOG BOX APPEARS ON SCREEN.

STEP 4: FILL THE REQUIRED DETAILS AND SELECT APPLY AND CLICK OK.

STEP5: NOW CLICK ON SUN SETTING OPTION WHICH IS ON BOTTOM LINE.

STEP 6: CLICK ON SUN PATH ON TO VIEW SUN SHADE

.

STEP 7: CLICK ON SUNPATH OFF TO OFF THE VIEW OF SUNSHADE.

10) AIM : TO ENTER PROJECT NAME ,PROJECT SETTING AND PROJECT ISSUE DATE BY USE OF MANAGE TOOL BAR.

TOOLS /COMMAND USED :

MANAGE TOOL BAR

PROJECT INFORMATION

PROCEDURE :

STEP 1: CREATE A 3D MODEL.

STEP 2: CLICK ON MANAGE TOOL BAR AND SELECT PROJECT INFORMATION THEN A DIALOG APPEARS ON THE SCREEN.

STEP 3: FILL THE REQUIRED DETAILS IN THE DIALOG BOX AND CLICK OK .

RESULTS: PROJECT SETTING , PROJECT NAME AND PROJECT ISSUE DATE HAS SUCCESSFULLY ENTERED IN DIALOG BOX BY USE OF PROJECT INFORMATION BAR.

11) AIM: WHAT IS ANALYZE TOOL BAR USED IN REVIT ?HOW IT IS BENIFICIAL FOR DESIGN AND MODELING .

• ANALYZE TOOL BAAR IS USED TO ANALYZE THE ENTIRE STRUCTRAL PROJECT. IT ALSO HELP IN LOAD COMBINATION ,BOUNDARY CONDITION, CASES ADJUSTMENTS ETC.
• IT HELPS IN ENERGY ANALYSIS OR ENERGY OPTIMIZATION OF BUILDING .
• IT EVALUATES AND GENERATE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE STRUCTURE SO ONE CAN CHANGE DEVELOP NECESSARY CHANGES IN PROJECT.
• IT ALSO HELPS IN MANAGING COOLING AND HEATING LOADS.
• THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN THIS ANALYZE TOOL BAR AS SHOWN IN FIGURE BELOW.

12) WHAT ARE THE LINK THAT REVIT SUPPORTS TO BE LINKED TO THE MODEL.

• LINK REVIT : LINK ONE REVIT MODEL TO CURRENT REVIT MODEL OR ANOTHER REVIT MODEL.
• LINK CAD : LINK 2D PLAN TO REVIT FILE THEN CONVERTS TO 3D MODEL BY USING 3D DIMENSION .
• LINK IFC : LINK AN IFC FILE TO CURRENT PROJECT FOR INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED FOR ADDITIONAL DESIGN WORK .
• LINK TOPOGRAPHY: LINK THE EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY TO PRESENT REVIT MODEL .
• MANAGE LINKS : IT LINK AN IMAGES FOR THE CURRENT WORKING PROJECT .
• DWF MARKUP : LINKS DWF FILES INTO REVIT PROJECT .
• POINT CLOUD : LINK POINT CLOUD PROJECT INTO CURRENT PROJECT .
• COORDINATE MODEL : LINKS A NWD OR NWC FILE TO PROVIDE CONTEXT FOR THE REVIT MODEL.

13) WHY DO YOU COLLABORATE TAB IN REVIT ? HOW IT SUPPORTS MODELLING AND EFFICIENCY .

• COLLABORATE TAB IS ONE WHERE TEAM MEMBERS OR GROUP OF PEOPLE CAN CREATE MULTIPLE PROJECTS , THESE MEMBERS ARE NOT ONLY INSIDE NETWORK BUT ALSO OUTSIDE NETWORK
• THIS MAKES ONE TO CREATE MORE PROJECTS IN LESS TIME .
• UNDER THIS COLLABORATES TAB WE HAVE MANY OPTION LIKE TO SHOW PAST WORK , COORDINATION REVIEW ETC .
• 
• EFFECINCY OF THE WORK CAN BE INCREASED AS MORE NO OF PEOPLE WORK ON SAME PROJECT, THIS MAKES TO TAKE LESS TIME TO COMPLETE PROJECT.
