Result:

7):

Aim: To navigate through the 3D model using the view cube.

Introduction: To navigate through the 3D model using the view cube. By using revit.

Procedure:

Step1:

• To view click on the view cube at right top of the workspace

Step2:

• To change the view click on the different view
• Select the front view from the view cube

Step3:

• To navigate the view click on full navigation wheel
• From the navigation wheel we can use the pan, orbit, zoom the 3D model

Step4:

• From the wheel click on the orbit to orbit the 3D model
• Similarly click on the pan, zoom and other option from the navigation wheel

Result:

Use of navigation wheel and view cube is shown

8):

Aim: To use the visibility settings option below to switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options.

Introduction: To use the visibility settings option below to switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options. By using revit.

Procedure:

Step1:

• From the bottom toolbar of the work space click on visual style.

Step2:

• For the hidden line view select the hidden line

Step3:

• For the shaded view select the shaded

Step4:

• For the realistic view select the realistic

Result:

• visibility settings option are done by using to switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options

9):

Aim: To use sun path on and off to view shadings in the layout created.

Introduction: To use sun path on and off to view shadings in the layout created. By using revit

Procedure:

Step1:

• from the bottom toolbar of the workspace click on the sun icon

Step2:

• select the sun path on and set the time setting

Step3:

• similarly select the sun path off

Result:

• use of sun path on/off is done.

10):

Aim: Using the Manage toolbar to enter project settings, project name, and issue date.

Introduction: Using the Manage toolbar to enter project settings, project name, and issue date. By using revit

Procedure:

Step1:

• From the toolbar click on the manage
• Then select the project information icon bar as shown.

Step2:

• The project information box will display
• We change or fill the required information such as project issue date, project status, clint name, project number as shown

Result:

11):

Aim: To Analyze toolbar used in Revit and beneficial for design and modeling.

Introduction: To Analyze toolbar used in Revit and beneficial for design and modeling. By using revit

Procedure:

Step1:

• From the toolbar click on the analyze bar
• List of analysing tools icons will appears

Step2:

• Analytical model
• Boundary condition: define point, line and area of boundary to model
• Loads: apply point, line area load to a model
• Load case: add and edit load case for analytical model
• Load combination: add and load combination for analytical model

Step3:

• Analytical model tools
• Adject: some adjustment of analytical model may require before structure model is transfer to analysis location
• Rest: reset the analytical model alignment method to auto- defect

Result:

• Analyze toolbar used to calculate the load and load combination and can find the result for pass and fail of the model in analysing the project

12):

Aim: To use of link that support in revit.

Introduction: To use of link that support in revit.

Procedure:

Step1:

• From the insert toolbar we can insert the different links to revit

Step2:

• Link revit: it allows other revit model to current revit model
• Link IFC: it allows the current project to reference to additional design work
