Introduction to REVIT concepts
1). From the file menu, create a new project (Structural / Architectural /
Construction template ) and name the project appropriately.
AIM:
- To create the new project(structural/Architectural/Construction template)
and name of the project appropriately.
INTRODUCTION OF REVIT.:
- Revit architecture is designed to accommodate various ways to working,
so ,that you can concentrate on your building models rather than on adapting to your methodology to software.
- Revit Architecture is a powerful building information modeling software for architects, engineers, designers and contractors.
- This fast-paced, intensive course guides students through introductory commands of Revit Architecture in order to produce working and presentation drawings.
PROCEDURE:
- First start the Rivet Software
- Then, From the model tab and click NEW.
- Then the new dialogue box will appear to screen, click on metric-architectural template.
- then , press enter to OK.
- Finally new workspace will be loaded. And to name the project .
- Go to the file menu, save and enter the project as project 2.
RESULT:
- New file is created with name of project 2.
- Save the new project file. Close and open using icons from file toolbar.
AIM:
- To save the project in REVIT software and close and open using in file toolbar.
PROCEDURE:
STEP -1:
- Go to the file menu, click the save option in it.
- Then , give name to the file and click save butoon.
- To change the location of the saved project, click on save as and enter a different location.
STEP -2:
- To open a file, in the file menu open project.
STEP-3 :
- If want to close menu bar as same go to the menu click close option.
RESULT:
- The file is saved and opened and closely by file menu.
3). From the architecture/ structure toolbar familiarize with options to draw a wall.
Create a rectangular layout of walls of about 40’-0” X 35’-0”

STEP-4:
- Similarly do the same on the others side.
RESULT:
- The dimension are done using annotate toolbar using aligned options.
5). Use the properties browser to switch to different wall types.
AIM:
- To Use the properties browser to switch to different wall types.
PROCEDURE:
- Go to Properties browser(PP)and Project browser(right click – browser- project browser)
- Select the wall tool in the top of icon,
- then it has a many option soft wall types like curtain wall, masonry wall, basic wall.
- we use the wall one by one.
- Select the required the wall height and width.
RESULT:
- With the use of property browser, the wall type has been changed.
6) Create a 3D view from the view toolbar and save the view with the appropriate name
AIM:
- To Create a 3D view from the view toolbar and save the view with the appropriate name.
PROCEDURE:
Step-1:
- Press the view bar on the view cube on the right sided of the workspace.
Step-2:
- Open the 3d view .
Step- 3:
- Click on the view template and click on create template from current view.
Step -4:
- Then the view dialogue box, insert the name as 3d view and click ok.
Step -5:
- The view will be created and we can take the view from apply template properly to current view.
RESULT:
- The 3d view is created by and saved it by name 3d view.
7).
AIM:
- To Navigate through the 3D model using the view cube. Orbit/pan through the model layout created
PROCEDURE:
Step1:
- Press the view bar on the view cube on the right sided of the workspace.
Step 2:
- And click the different views.
Step3:
- To pan, click on the navigation wheel below the view cube.
Step 4:
- Click on the option.
- To view the navigation view of the view bars.
Step 5:
- Click on the left the cursor and move the mouse to pan.
RESULT:
- Use of view cube and pan/orbit in navigation wheel is shown.
8) Use the visibility settings option below to switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options.
AIM:
- To Use the visibility settings option below to switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options.
PROCEDURE:
Step1:
- Click on the cube at the bottom toolbar-visual style.
Step2:
- Select the hidden line.
Step3:
- select the model shaded.
- Then like wise realistic view.
RESULT:
- Hidden lines, shaded, realistic options are done by visibility settings.
9). Turn the sun path on and off to view shadings in the layout created.
AIM:
- To sun path on and off to view the shadings in layout.
PROCEDURE:
Step1:
- Click on the icon of sun on bottom toolbar.
Step2:
- Click it so that the sun path is on.
Step3:
- Date and time will be visible.
- Similarly put the sun path off.
RESULT:
- Use of sunpath on/off is done.
10).Use the Manage toolbar to enter project settings, project name, and project issue date (choose according to your convenience).
AIM:
- To using manage the toolbar to enter project setting, name and issue date.
PROCEDURE:
Step 1:
- click the managetoolbar, and project information.
Step2:
- Project information dialogue box appears.
Step3:
- From the other click on project issue date and give a value.
Step4:
- Similarly select the project name, project status, client name,
project address and project address and project number.
RESULT:
11). What is the Analyze toolbar used in Revit? How it is beneficial for design and modeling.
Aim:
- To Analyze toolbar in Revit and its benefits.
PROCEDURE:
- Analyze toolbar in Rivet helps in evaluating the building performance - analyzing the model by boundary conditions, loads etc.,
- It evaluates the sustainability of the model.
- BENEFITS OF ANALYZE THE TOOL FOR DESIGN AND MODELLING:
- STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Boundary condition:
- We can give the line and area boundary conditions to the model.
Loads :
- We can apply point, line and area load to the model.
Load cases:
- We can add and edit the load cases.
Load combinations:
- To add load combinations.
It also help to perform energy optimization and energy analysis.
For energy analysis it has features.
- HEATING AND COOLING LOADS ANALYSIS:
- To create heating and cooling load analysis report, useful for mechanical enigeers for ventilations ducts or heating and cooling systems.
- Rivet allows to perform analysis in multiple disciplines, so when collabrating in every discipline they can perform their own task seperately and come together as a team to show progress.
- we can achieve the progress of project together from all discipline.
12). What are the links that Revit supports to be linked to the model?
AIM:
- TO LINKS in Revit.
PROCEDURE:
- In insert tab links are found. It is used to link different files to the file current file.
LINK REVIT:
- It allows to link another rivet model to the current model.
LINK IFC:
- To link ifc file to current model to reference its information for additional design works.
LINK Cad:
- To link the 2d cad file to current rivet file to create 3d by rivet tools.
LINK TOPOGRAPHY:
- To link to the current model.
MANAGE LINKS:
- Provides features to manage the links to the building models.
13) Why do you need the Collaborate tab in Revit? How it supports modeling and its efficiency?
- It is the features which help to collaborate and help the team members to work on the model simultaneously.
- In modelling it helps the team members of different disciplines to work on the same file simultaneously.
- The efficiency of the modeling will be high, as the work can be finished faster.
- We do not have to wait for one model to be completed to start the model of next discipline.
