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 elements (AR)
Procedure:
for a. Using 3D model create a section box(BX)
step 1 : open 3D view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with 3D view
step 2 : by using BX command for section box
selct any part or sny section from section view for that u draw section box
and press BX for section box
section box will apear
b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout (CS)
step 1 : open floor plan view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with floor plan
step 2 : by using CS command for similar window doors
select door or window which want to craete similar one
and press CS for similar
and press where we want
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views (TL)
step 1 : open floor plan view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with floor plan
step 2 : by using TL command for reduced thickness of line
select thin line from plan view
and press TL for reduced thickness of line showing in plan
immidietly result is appear
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view

open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with floor plan
step 2 : by using VG command for override setting for floor
press VG command for vigibility graphic
select floor option from visibility option
and click on them
and click on patter option
and choose colour and patter for floor and press ok
then it will be appear on floor plan
e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view ( VR )
step 1 : open floor plan view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with floor plan
step 2 : press VR for view range option
after pressing VR option dialog box will apear
set the offset for plan
by changing number from dialog box
and press ok
f. To select the previously selected items ( Ctrl< )
step 1 : open floor plan view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file

h. To bring the model elements in line ( AL )
step 1 : open floor plan view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with floor plan
step 2 : for align the one element to other use AL command
first draw one small floor by using floor command
and draw rectangle floor near the floor plan
select small floor for aling to big floor
so slecet first small floor
and press AL option
and select intersect edge
then select big floor edge for align
i. To rotate the model elements ( RO )
step 1 : open floor plan view

then fields schedule from available fields option
by clicking and draging cursor
like area,number,count and volume etc
and press ok, then the schedule is prepared on screen
you can also check from schedule < property browser
Result: rooms area volume, area and number,count schedule prepare 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
Introduction: material takeoff is helpfull for calculating total cost by product of cost and volume of material
Procedure:
a. Total Cost of Materials
step 1 : open floor plan view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with floor plan
step 2 : set cost of indivisual material
select a perticular material which we want to set the cost
take a example of door, we select door from floor plan view
then click on edit type from property
that type of window will open then scroll down for cost option
and put approprite cost value and then apply and press ok
our cost will update for door
do same thing for window, floor, wall,table and chairs
b. Individual Material Take off
step 1 : open floor plan view
open a revit software
and open architecture any old existing plan from file
with floor plan
step 2 : go to view tab from menu bar
then click on schedule option from view tab
and click on material take off option
select door from multi category schedule
and press ok on new schedule tab
then material takeoff property window will open
then choose the parameter like cost,count,number,family and type
and press ok our material take off shedule is ready
then add column from insert column option for total cost as assembly code column ( dumy column )
then add formula from calculate option showing on ribbon
and give name as total cost
and give formula cost*material volume
press ok
after press ok our schedule with total cost is ready
\
do same process for all elements
Result: our take off material with total cost is done successfully
