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
2nd ans)
Aim:-We need to use the revit software and the project from week 6 to 8 prepare a schedule for the given things
Procedure:-
Step 1:-Open an existing file from the file option
Step 2:-Now using the view toolbar , select the schedules option and click on the quantities option to schedule the properties for the items.Now in the popup window select the components which are desried to be scheduled like walls,doors,columns,etc..
Step 3:-On the othe popup set the proportions like volume,area,etc.., Then a schedule will be set
Step 4:-Similarly we need to make another schedule for windows , concrete, etc..
windows schedule
sul
Doors schedule
Walls schedule
Result:-Got the desired result
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.
3rd ans)
Aim:-to use revit and 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.
Procedure:-
Step 1:-We need to open an existing file and select quantities from view
Step 2:-Select the rooms option from the window popup
Step 3:-Now add the properties like area,volume
Step 4:-Each room schedule for area and volume has been created
Result:-The desired result has been done
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
4th ans)
Aim:-To use the same schedule using unit cost rate for materials available in the internet and to prepare total cost of materials used in the project
Procedure:-
Step 1:-We need to open an already existing revit file and then use schedule option from view toolbar to select the material take off option
Step 2:-Now we need to click ok on the popup and we need to set the formula for the total cost based on the material cost and the schedule will be created
Step 3:-Now similar to the above step we need to prepare a schedule for wall material take off and other components
Result:-we got the desired result
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
5th ans)FLowcharts are given below
