b. Doors
c. Windows
d. Material – Concrete/Wood

Aim:- To prepare a schedule for Walls,Door,Windows, and Materials( concrete/wood)

Procedure:-

1. open project_2
2. go to view>schedule>schedule/Quantities
3. select component for schedule
4. Now, we can see the Schedule Properties tab and we can choose desire fields.

Result:-

1. Wall Schedule
2. Door Schedule
3. Window Schedule
4. Material Schedule

Q 3) Using Revit Calculate the area and volume of each room in the model with appropriate room tags applied to each room. Prepare a schedule report for the area and volume of each room.

Aim:- To prepare a schedule report for the area & volume of each room.

Procedure:-

1. go to plan and Tag your each room
2. Go to view>schedule>room schedule.

Result:-

Q 4) Using the same schedule using the unit cost rate for materials available on the internet, prepare the total cost of materials used in the project
a. Total Cost of Materials
b. Individual Material Takeoff

Aim:- To prepare individual material Takeoff schedule.

Procedure:-

1. go to view>schedule>material takeoff
2. select the material for which do you want material takeoff schedule
3. select the required parameter.
4. use calculate Value to calculate total cost

Result:-

Q 5) Using the concept of Visual Programming discussed in class, list a flowchart for the following scenario
