b. Doors
c. Windows
d. Material – Concrete/Wood
ANS :
AIM : To prepare the Schedule for the following
- Walls
- Doors
- Windows
- Materials – Concrete/Wood
PROCEDURE :
Step 1 : Open the Revit project created in week 7
Step 2 : Go to view menu tab and select schedule/Quantities
Step 3 : Select the required field which needs to be scheduled and press Ok
a.Wall schedule
Step 4 : For wall schedule select the parameters for scheduling and press ok
Step 5 : The Wall scheduling is done
Step 6 : Do the above process for Door, Window and material
b.Door Schedule
c.Window Schedule
d.Material – Concrete/Wood
RESULT : Wall Schedule, Door Schedule, Window Schedule and Material Schedule is prepared
Q3. Using Revit Calculate area and volume of each room in the model with appropriate room tags applied to each room. Prepare a schedule report for area and volume of each room.
ANS :
AIM : To prepare the schedule report for area and volume of each room
PROCEDURE :
Step 1 : Go to view menu tab and select schedule/Quantities
Step 2 : Select the required field which needs to be scheduled and press Ok
Step 3 : For Room schedule select the parameters for scheduling and press ok
Step 4 : The Room scheduling is done
RESULT : Room area and volume Schedule is prepared
Q4. Using the same schedule using the unit cost rate for materials available in the internet, prepare total cost of materials used in the project
a. Total Cost of Materials
b. Individual Material Take off
ANS :
AIM : To prepare the schedule of total cost of materials
PROCEDURE :
Step 1 : Go to view menu tab and select material takeoff
Step 2 : Select the required field which needs to be scheduled and press Ok
Step 3 : For Wall material takeoff schedule select the parameters for scheduling and press ok
Go to Calculated value create Total cost
Step 4 : Go to Grouping and Sorting and do the necessary settings
