1)

AIM: Use the shortcut keys in Revit discussed in class to complete the following tasks and list them below
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

m. To create an array of model elements

PROCEDURE:

a. select the object and enter the bx command it creates the box section

b. select the object and enter cs it creates the similar objects

c. enter the TL command the line thickness are reduced again enter the command thick lines appear

d. enter the vg command go to floor and override the properties and color and diagonal shape is apply

e. to increase the VR visibility range is set unlimted

f. selected the previous elements is just enter the command is cltr+<

it's selected the previous elements

g. added the dimensions of floor plan is used the command is DI dimension

h. the elements are set the alignment using the AL command sect the at edges of the element and aligned

after aligned the element

j. select the object and enter the RO rotation is started and set the angle and enter its rotated

k. select the element and enter the CO its copied and paste it

L. mirror command is MM, select the object and enter the mm command given the axis its reflected to mirror

M. array command is AR

select the object and enter the AR command display the tool bar is number of items required it to given the required number

and mention the distance is array

2.ANS

AIM: Using Revit and the project used from week challenge to prepare a schedule for the following

procedure:

go the view tab and select the schedule create the walls ok and select the parameters

ok

door schedule

WINDOWS SCHEDULE:

material concreate/wood

select the schedule as material take off and

3.ans

aim: 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.

PROCEDURE:

select the room tag given the each and mention the names

select the view tab in schedule and select the rooms and required parameters are added okay

4. ans

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:

select the object go edit type in property browser enter the cost manually

b. individual material take-off

walls, door windows etc..

a. total cost of materials

select the dummy parameter and select that enter the calculation and set the formula as total cost
