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 variousways 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 te screen, click on metric-architectual template.
• then , press enter to OK.
• Finally new waorkspace will be loaded. And to name the project .
• Go to the file menu, save and enter the project as project 2.

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) Navigate through the 3D model using the view cube. Orbit/pan through the model layout created

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.

Step2: And click the different views.

Step3: To pan, cllick on the navigation wheel below the view cube.

Step4: Click on the option. To view the navigation view of the view bars.

Step5: 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 visibillity settings.

9) Turn the sun path on and off to view shadings in the layout created.

AIM:

• To on and off sunpath 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:

Step1: 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 it hasbeen:

• 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?

• Revit provides several different ways to collaborate with team members who are also using the software.

• Helps link multiple Revit models together, simultaneously allowing other team members to work in the background.
• Users on the same local area network (LAN) can work together in the same Revit model using Revit Work Sharing.
• 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 that 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 to collaborate on Revit model.
• Revit Cloud Work-sharing helps in modeling with efficiency
• As the Revit Cloud Work-sharing service helps to author Revit models in the cloud concurrently with other team members.
• Before Revit users collaborate on a model in the cloud, you must upload the model from Revit to BIM 360 Document Management. During the upload process, the following events occur:
• If the model does not yet have work-sharing enabled, work-sharing is automatically enabled, the Revit model is uploaded to the BIM 360 project, and a locally-cached version is created on your computer.
• If the model is already work shared, the Revit model is uploaded to the BIM 360 project, and a locally-cached version is created on your computer.
• As alternatives to using Revit Cloud Work-sharing, you can use Revit Server to collaborate across a wide area network (WAN) or file-based work-sharing to collaborate across a local area network (LAN).
