Step 3
After selecting the save view the small tab will be visible then enter the name of the 3D view as shown below.
Result:
Created a 3D view from the view toolbar and saved the view with the appropriate name.
7. Navigate Through the 3D model Using the view cube:
AIM:
Use the view cube to navigate through the 3D model in any direction.
Orbit is also used to Navigate the 3D model to any direction.
Pan is used to navigate the 3D model to the position.
Procedure:
First, we move the cursor to the view cube, then hold the view cube with the cursor then rotate the view in different directions.
Step 2:
Use the view cube to rotate the 3D model by holding the view cube with the cursor as shown in the below figures
Step 3:
Open the steering wheel at the right side of the screen, as shown in the fig.
After the Opening the steering wheel, we need to select the pan Option, then hold the different position as shown in the fig.
Result:
The three-dimensional model is navigated using the view cube. Orbit and pan by holding them with the cursors.
8. Use The visibility settings:
Introduction:
Using the Visibility settings we can change the visibility of the model, such as
Wireframe
Hidden Lines
Shaded
Consistent colors
Realistic
Ray trace
Here we Needed to change the visibility of the 3D model to three types they are:
Shaded
Hidden Lines
Realistic
Procedure:
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 line option.
Step 3:
At the Bottom click the graphic display settings option then select the shaded option.
9. Turn the Sun Path on and off to view the shadings
Introduction:
The Sun's Movement is an important consideration when designing high performance buildings.
To Understand the Impact of the solar Position on your Buildings 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 projects will be cast upon the surroundings as well as seeing the shadows cost upon your buildings.
Step-2:
Then The Sun Path Interface displays the ground compass the position of the sun time of the day and time of the year
Step 3:
Click The Sun Path icon at the bottom turn off the sun path view.
10. Use the Manage Toolbar to enter project settings:
AIM:
Use the Manage toolbar to enter project settings, Project name and the Project issue date.
Introduction:
In the Manage toolbar we can see different options; they are shown below:
Materials'
Object Styles'
Snaps
Project Information
Project parameters'
Shared Parameters'
Global Parameters
Transfers Project standards
Purge Unused
Project units
and etc.
In this we need to select a project information option and give the details of the project.
Step 1:
In the Manage toolbar we need to select the project information and enter the project details in the Project settings.
Step-2:
After Selecting the Project Information option, the new tab will be visible on the screen as shown below.
Step-3:
Then we need to enter the project information on the project information tab.
11. Analyse:
Analyse toolbar used in Revit and beneficial for design and modeling. analyze tools used to perform analysis on our structural building.
Analyse toolbar helps you to perform analysis on our structural building. the boundary conditions enable you to define point line and area boundary conditions in analytical model. it will verify the boundary condition family types are loaded And assigned in your parametric features of the structural model to evaluate the performance of the building.
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 evaluate the sustainblity of the building thaat we modelling. so we will be intrested in evaluating the energy or the energy optimization of the building that we are going to model. So revit offers features such as ot creates an energy model from the features wee have modelled in our 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 the material that used in our project.
13.What are the link that revit supports to be linked to the model.
A) The Links that revit supports to be linked to the models are:
Link Revit:
This allows to link another revit model to the current model, Eg: We can link the models together to specify the relative individual building on a campus or to coordinate efforts across disciplines ( Architectural, structural, Mechanical)
LINK IFC:
To link IFC file to current model to reference its information for the additional design work.
Link CAD:
To Link the 2D cad file to the current revit file to create 3d by Revit tools.
Manage Links:
Manage Links Provides feature to manage the links to the building models. eg: If we are linking the electrical and structural model to remove electrical from structural, go to link manager and unload the model we dont want.
13. Collaborate:
Revit Provides several different ways to collaborate with the team members who are also using the software.
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 collabration needs t o occur among users who are not in the same geographic location, use revit server or revit cloud worksharing.
Revit server connects offices who share a network but are not in the same geographic location.
Revit cloud worksharing is a cloud based service that allows any revit users inside or the outside a network to collaborate an a revit model.
