PROCEDURE:

Click on annotate toolbar.

Click on aligned option.

Click on the side of wall and drag to whereever we need to place it to show the dimensions.

Similarly do the same on the other side.

RESULT: I understood how to annoate geometry using annotation tools in revit.

5) AIM

Use the properties browser to switch to different wall types.

INTRODUCTION: In this challenge general information about all tools present in revit is discussed and purposes of revit for different work also taken into consideration.

PROCEDURE:

Select the wall tool in the top of icon then it has many options of wall types like curtain walls,masonary wall,basic wall.

Use wall one by one.

Select the required wall length and width.

Click on the walls and change accordingly.

RESULT: I understood how to change properties of elements using properties browser.

6) AIM

Create a 3D view from the view toolbar and save the view with the appropriate name.

INTRODUCTION: In this challenge general information about all tools present in revit is discussed and purposes of revit for different work also taken into consideration.

PROCEDURE:

Press the view bar on the view cube on the right sided of the workspace.

Open the 3D view

Click on the view template and click on create template from current view.

Then the view dialogue box,insert the name as 3d view and click ok.

Then view will be created and we can take the view from apply template properly to current view.

RESULT: I understood how to open 3d view and how to save different views in revit software.

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

INTRODUCTION: In this challenge general information about all tools present in revit is discussed and purposes of revit for different work also taken into consideration.

PROCEDURE:

Press the view bar on the view cube on the right sided of the workspace.

Click the different views.

To pan click on the navigation wheel below the view cube.

Click on the option to view the navigation view of the view bars.

Click on the left the cursor and move the mouse to pan.

RESULT: I understood how use navigation tool bar for pan, zoom and orbiting the model in revit software.

8) AIM

Use the visibility settings option below to switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options.

INTRODUCTION: In this challenge general information about all tools present in revit is discussed and purposes of revit for different work also taken into consideration.

PROCEDURE:

Click on the cube at the bottom toolbar-visual style.

Select the hidden lines.

Select the model shaded.

Select the realistic view.

RESULT: I understood how to toggle between differents graphical displays of model in revit software.

9) AIM:

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

INTRODUCTION: In this challenge general information about all tools present in revit is discussed and purposes of revit for different work also taken into consideration.

PROCEDURE:

Click on the icon of sun on bottom toolbar.

Click it so that the sun path is on.

Date and time will be visible.

Similarly put the sun path off.

RESULT: I understood how to use sun path setting for building model in revit software.

10) AIM:

Use the Manage toolbar to enter project settings, project name, and project issue date.

INTRODUCTION: In this challenge general information about all tools present in revit is discussed and purposes of revit for different work also taken into consideration.

PROCEDURE

Click the managetoolbar and project information.

Project information dialogue box appears.

From the other click on the project issue date and give a value.

Similarly select the project name , project status , client name, project status, client name, project address and project address and project number.

RESULT: I understood, how to fill project information using mange tool in revit software.

11. AIM: ANALYZE toolbar in revit and its benifits in modelling and drafting.

Analyze toolbar in revit helps in evaluating the building performance and analyzing the model by boundary conditions, load bearing etc

It also evaluates the sustainability of the model

Conduct structural analyses and export to analysis and design applications with the analytical model while you create the physical model in Revit.

Benifits of analyze tool in design and modelling

Perform 3D structural analysis. Additionally, extract 2D and 3D subsystems with an automatic load takedown

Check the analytical model in Revit with comprehensive warning dialog and display options for an extended check of the model

Activate advanced calculation options such as construction phases for selfweight

Manage and design reinforced concrete elements according to Eurocodes within Revit (slabs, columns, beams e.g. according to DIN EN 1992)

Structural Analysis Professional is integrated graphic software for modeling, analyzing and designing various types of structures. You can use it to create structures, perform the structural analysis, and verify results

RESULT: I understood benefits of analyse tool in software for drafting and modeling.

12.

AIM: To understand the different links that revit support to be linked to the model.

LINK REVIT

Open an existing model or start a new model.

Link another model into this model.

Click Insert tab Link panel (Link Revit).

In the Import/Link RVT dialog, select the model to link.

To access tools for link management, click Manage tab Manage Project panel (Manage Links).

To update linked models without closing the current project, we can reload the linked models.

Unload linked models to temporarily remove them from the project.

LINK IFC

To use an IFC model as a reference for additional design work, link the IFC file to a Revit model.

Before linking an IFC file, click File tab >Open> (IFC Options) and use the Import IFC Options dialog to do the following:
