Preparing Schedule & Cost Estimation for a building using REVIT
INTRODUCTION:
A schedule is a tabular display of information, extracted from the properties of the elements in a project. A schedule can list every instance of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple instances onto a single row, based on the schedule's grouping criteria
A schedule is a smooth presentation of material, extracted from the properties of the elements in a project. A schedule can list every instance of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple instances onto a single row, based on the schedule's grouping criteria.
Types of schedule

a. Using 3D model create a section box
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
PROCEDURE:
a. Using 3D model create a section box
Shortcut key used :Section Box- BX
Here am selecting window part
Now using the command BX to create a section box for a window
b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout
Short cut key -Create Similar(CS)
Here am selecting the object sofa & using command CS to create similar object
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views
Short cut key-Thin lines(TL)
Here am using the command TL the thickness of the line is reduced
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view
Short cut key-Visibilty graphics (VG)
The VG command which is used to edit the floor settings
Type VG go to floor ,under the pattern row click override ,change the pattern & colour & give ok
e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view
Short cut key:View Range(VR)
Type VR choose the plan view of Top,Cut plane,Bottom ,click apply.
f. To select the previously selected items
Short cut key:Reselect(Ctrl+<)
If we press Ctrl+< the previous selected object is reselected
g. To add annotations to the model views
Short cut key:Dimension(DI)
Type DI the ribbon tab will change ,provide the dimension
h. To bring the model elements in line
Short cut key:Align(AL)
Separate floor is created type AL & choose the line ,its shows the intersection now it is aligned
i. To rotate the model elements
Short cut key :Rotate(RO)
Choose the component that you need rotate ,type Ro & rotate it in the direction that you need
j. To move an object to another location
Short cut key:Move(MV)
Choose the component that you need to rotate type MV ,move it in the direction that you want
l. To mirror an element about an axis
Short cut key :Mirror (MM)
Click the component type MM ,click the intresection point now the component is mirrored
m. To create an array of model elements
Short cut key: Array (AR)
Choose the component type AR mention the number & distance
RESULT:
Task are completed using the shortcut keys
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

9. Graphical Column Schedule
a)To create wall schedule
Go to Schedule icon under view tab ,choose the wall category & give ok
Choose the parameters & give ok
Now the wall schedule has been created
b)To create door schedule
Go to Schedule icon under view tab ,choose the Door category & give ok
Choose the parameters & give ok
Now the wall schedule has been created
C)To create window schedule
Go to Schedule icon under view tab ,choose the Window category & give ok
Choose the parameters & give ok
Now the wall schedule has been created
d)To prepare a material schedule
Under view tab choose material takeoff under schedule icon
Choose floor category & give ok
Now the material schedule has been created
RESULT:
Schedules for walls ,doors,windows ,materials has been created successfully
3) 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.

9. Graphical Column Schedule
Go to schedule icon under manage tab
Click floor & give ok
Choose the parameters & give ok,now the room schedule has been created
RESULT:
Schedule report for area & volume of each room has been created successfully
4) 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
AIM:
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
PROCEDURE:
Click any one side of the wall ,go to edit type ,given the cost value has 30 & click apply
Go to schedule icon under manage tab ,click material takeoff,click wall under category & give ok
Give the parameters & give ok
To calculate the entire cost click dummy column ,calculated option ,given the name has total cost & formula (Material:volume/1CF)*cost
Now total cost is calculated
To calculate the cost of individual material follow the same process
RESULT:
Total cost of the material has been calculated successsfully
5) Using the concept of Visual Programming discussed in class, list a flowchart for the following scenario
a. How to decide framings for a structure using Dynamo ?
b. If there is no water coming from the pipes
c. If request for money from client has been declined for the project
a. How to decide framings for a structure using Dynamo ?
1) Preparation of formwork
2) Assembling the formwork
3) Placement of Reinforcement
4) Concrete placing
5) Compacting
6) Curing
7) Completed
b. If there is no water coming from the pipes
1)Check the pipe connection
2)Check water supply
3)Check for any leaks
4)Fix the problem
c. If request for money from client has been declined for the project
Explain the project to the client
Provide time for client to decide
If he accepts to pay,continue the project
(or)
If he refuses to pay,decline the project
6) List the parameters associated with each model element
a. Wall
b. Floor
c. Door
d. Window
e. Table
f. Building
click the wall go to edit type the paremeters of wall exists their
