b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view
e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view
f. To select the previously selected items
g. To add annotations to the model views
h. To bring the model elements in line
i. To rotate the model elements
j. To move an object to another location
k. To copy a model element
l. To mirror an element about an axis
m. To create an array of model elements

AIM:

To Use the shortcut keys in Revit discussed in class to complete the following tasks and list them below

a. Using 3D model create a section box = BX

b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout = CS

c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views = TL

d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view = EOD

e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view = VR

f. To select the previously selected items = CTRL + <

g. To add annotations to the model views= DI

h. To bring the model elements in line = AL

i. To rotate the model elements = RO

j. To move an object to another location = MV

k. To copy a model element = CO

l. To mirror an element about an axis = MM

m. To create an array of model element= AR

2) Using Revit and the project used from week 6 to 8 prepare a schedule for the following
a. Walls
b. Doors
c. Windows
d. Material – Concrete/Wood

AIM:

To prepare a schedule for the

a. Walls:

INTRODUCTION:

Schedule option Create a schedule that includes images to represent model elements.

When needed, add a list of building element components to your model.

1. Click View tab>Create panel>Schedules drop-down>Schedule/Quantities.
2. In the New Schedule dialog, do the following:
   1. Select a component from the category list. A default name appears in the Name text box, which you can change as necessary.
   2. Select Schedule building components.
      Note: Do not select Schedule keys.
   3. Specify the phase.
   4. Click OK.
3. In the Schedule Properties dialog, specify the schedule properties.
   • Select Fields
   • Filter data to include in the schedule
   • Sort and group the data
   • Format the schedule
   • Change the schedule's appearance
4. Click OK.

PROCEDURE:

Open the architectural template which we have created in week 6-8 for the project

Click on the view tab

Select schedule quantities option from the view tab
