2. VG is the short key for Visual Graphics
5. VR
1. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view just Type VR
6. ctrl+< (Re select)
1. To select the previous selected option, type control + <
7. DI

8. AL
To Align any floor eith the current selected level type AL and select the floor where it is to be aligned
9. RO (Rotate)
1. To Rotate the any object just select the Object and type RO
10. MV (Move)
1. To move any object in the Model just type MV and select the object to move
11. MM (Mirror)
To mirror any Object Type MM given below.
AR (Array)
1. Array is to create Mulitiple same object in a line.
2. AR is the short form of the Array
Aim : 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
Procedure :
1. To create a Schedule of the given items in the question
2. Just go to view tab and and select schedule
3. Select any object (Wall) from the schedule
4. Select the parameters which are to be included in the Schedule chart (Cost, Volume, Width etc)
5. Select OK
6. The schedule chart is prepared
1. Walls
2. Doors
3. Windows
4. Material
Aim : 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
Procedure :
1. Select the any Item wall
2. Go to property Browser and select Edit Type
3. Enter a particular Amount in the Cost Parameter
4. And select Apply and ok
5. Go to view tab and go to schedule
6. Select the Objects and select the parameter.
7. After selecting the necessary Parameter just press OK
8. And the the schedule is created.
9. Repeat this process for every object
Aim : 6) List the parameters associated with each model element
a. Wall
b. Floor
c. Door
d. Window
e. Table
f. Building
Procedure : For the Parameter of each object in the Model.
2. Select the object and go to property browser
3. In Property Browser go to edit type and you will get the Parameter
4. Below given is the Prameter of each Object given the Question
1. Walls
2. Doors
3.Windows
4. Tables
5. Buildings
Conclusion : Hence the Challenge 9 is completed
