9)Turn the sun path on & off to view shadings in the \layout created.
AIM:-
.To Turn the sun path on & off to view shadings in the \layout created.
INTRODUCTION:-
.The sun's movement is an important consideration when designing high-performance buildings.
.To understand the impact of the solar position on your building you can use the sun & shadows settings in Revit to visualize the position of the sun at your location at any time of the day or of the year.
.You can also see the shadows that your project will be cast upon the surroundings as well as seeing the shadows cast upon your building surfaces.
PROCEDURE:-
STEP1:-
.Click the sun path icon at the bottom of the revit display area to open the sun path menu,select the sun path ON.
.If a window2 pops up asking you to select the option use the specified project location date,& time instead to display the sun path select it.
STEP2:-
.Then the sun path interface displays the ground compass, the position of the sun, time of the day,& time of the year.
Step3:-
.Click the sun path icon at the bottom of the Revit display are to open the sun path menu, select the sun path OFF.
RESULT:-
.The sun path is turned on & off, that displays the ground compass the position of the sun, time of day,& time of day,o& time of year.

RESULT:-
The details of the project will be entered in the project information tab.
11)What is the Analyze toolbar used in Revit? How it is beneficial for design & modeling?
A)Analyze toolbar used in Revit & beneficial for design & modeling:
.Analyse toolbar helps you to perform analysis on our structural building. The boundary conditions enable you to define point line & area boundary conditions in an analytical model. it will verify the boundary condition family types are loaded & assigned in your parametric features of the structural model, Similarly, we can apply point load to a model to evaluate the performance of the building.Similarly, we can add & edit load cases to define the design standard suggested load case to a model. We can combine different load cases using the load combination icon, Which will enable us to add & edit load combinations for the analytical model. The main purpose of using the Revit is to evaluate the sustainability of the building that we modeling. So, we will be interested in evaluating the energy or energy optimization of the building that we are going to model. So, Revit offers features we have modeled in our project & then the energy analytical model will be based on the conceptual masses. The building elements & the material that we can use to construct the building & the quantity & the amount of material that is used in our project.
12)What are links that Revit supports to be linked to the model?
A)The links that Revit supports to be model are:-
.LINK REVIT:-
.This allows linking another Revit model to the current model. Eg.we can link models together to specify the relative individual building on a campus or to coordinate efforts across disciplines(Architectural/structural/mechanical)
.LINK IFC:-
.To link IFC file current model to reference its information for additional design work.
LINK CAD:-
.To link the 2nd cad file to the current Revit file to create 3D by Revit tools.
.MANAGE LINKS:-
.Provides features to manage the links to the building models, eg.If we are linking the electrical & structural model to remove electrical from structural, go to the link manager & unload the model we don't want.
13)Why do you need the collaborate tab in Revit? How it supports modeling & its efficiency?
A)Collaborate tab in Revit which supports modeling & its efficiency:-
Revit provides several different ways to collaborate with team members who are also using the software.
.You can link multiple Revit models together, allowing team members to work in context.
.Through workshopping users on the same local area network (LAN) can work together in the same Revit model.
.When collaboration needs to occur among users who are not in the same geographic location, use Revit server or Revit server or Revit cloud workshopping.
.Revit server connects offices that share a network to collaborate on a Revit model.
