• select wall architectural option
• specify point and specify direction towards horozontal for 40'
• change the direction to vertical from last point and enter distance 35'
• specify the remaing points with the refrance to snap

Result:

• 

4) From the Annotate toolbar use the aligned option to add dimensions to the layout

2)Go to NEW option

3) select project option

• 

• Select architectural Template option

• select wall architectural option
• specify point and specify direction towards horozontal for 40'
• change the direction to vertical from last point and enter distance 35'
• specify the remaing points with the refrance to snap
• got to ANNOTATE tool bar select LINEAR DIMENSION
• specify the end points.
• 

Result:

• Linear dimension of walls
• 

5) Use the properties browser to switch to different wall types

Aim: To switch diffrent types of wall by using property browser.

Procedure :

create a wall with wall tool

• 

• select the wall > goto propertires > change the type of wall required

• 

Result :

• The wall type hasbeen changer from basic wall to stacked wall
• 
• 

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

Aim: To create 3d view with View tool bar and save with appropiate name

Procedure:

• create a wall with wall tool
• 
• got to view tab> select 3dview> set to default view
• 
• Save the file as 3dview

Result:

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

Aim: to navigate the model using view cube and orbit /pan.

Procedure:

• Open the last saved file .
• The view cube will be indicate at top right of the file
• View cube helps to rorate the model view in different directions by the help of viewcube we can navigate our model at any direction.

Result:

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

Aim: To switch the module visibility in to different options.

Procedure:

open the model file

Goto visual setting option

select the visual style as per requirment

Result:

1) wire frame

2) hidden

3)shaded

4) Constrained colours

5) Realistic

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

Aim: To view the shade by using sun path on

Procedure :

Go to manage and setthe location

select sun path on

set the sun settings

Result :

The sun path is ON and the time se on 12:15

10) Use the Manage toolbar to enter project settings, project name, and project issue date (choose according to your convenience).

Aim : Manage the project details by using manage tool bar.

Procedure:

• Goto manage tab > select project information>
• This setting is used to fill the data about information .

Result :

11) What is the Analyze toolbar used in Revit? How it is beneficial for design and modelling?

Ans:

• Analysis tool bar is used to anylze the loads and load combination of structure,duct and pipeline and grographical location of model
• It is also genarate,optimize and analyze the the energy and provide reports of the locations.
• 12) What are the links that Revit supports to be linked to the model?

Ans:

Link is used to link with previouse model with current model.the supported files are

1. link revit
2. link cad
3. link topography

13) Why do you need the Collaborate tab in Revit? How it supports modeling and its efficiency?

Ans:

• Collobrate is useful to work at same time with for different discipline teams at the same project. It makes more efficiency to the team.
