Preparing Schedule & Cost Estimation for a building using REVIT

1. AIM:

Using the shortcut key to complete the given task

INTRODUCTION:

In this question we have modify the existing project by using shortcut key. One by one shown the step

PROCEDURE:

A) SECTION BOX (BX)

• Open Revit software
• Click on open and select previously created model
• Go to 3D view
• Select any part of the building to create a section box
• Type shortcut BX, the section box visible for the particular view
• We can adjust the section box by stretching the arrow, for more visibility near that particular part

B) CREATE SIMILAR (CS)

• In the floor plan layout
• Select door or window whicch you want create similar
• Type command CS
• Automatic selected object will appear for placing

C) THIN LINES (TL)

• In the floor plan layout
• Type command TL
• The line will be thin in the floor plan

D) VISIBILITY GRAPHICS (VG)

• In the floor plan
• Type VG command
• Go to floor > pattern> override
• Change pattern and colour>ok

E) VIEW RANGE (VR)

• In the floor plan
• Type VR command
• In appeared dialog box we can changed the levels or offset for increase or decrease the view range

F) RESELECT (CTRL<)

• In the floor plan
• Type ctrl and left arrow key (<) command
• Reselected all the previously selected item

G) ANNOTATION (DI)

• In the floor plan
• Type DI command
• Annotation tab will open and active aligned dimension
• We can choose any dimension after activating the annotation tool

H) ALIGN (AL)

• In the floor plan
• Type AL command
• First select base line then select element to align

I) ROTATE(RO)

• In the floor plan
• Select item to be rotate
• Type RO command
• then select the pick point to rotate

J) MOVE(MV)

• In the floor plan
• Type MV command
• Select the element to be move

K) COPY (CO)

• In the floor plan
• Type CO command
• Select the element to be copy

L) MIRROR(MM)

• In the floor plan
• Type MM command
• Select the element then press enter and choose axis to be mirror

M) ARRAY(AR)

• In the floor plan
• Type AR command
• Select the element to be array> enter
• In ribbon modify tab will be appear provide the number of copies
• Pick the point of the element, move desired side to make array of element

RESULT:

In the question we have modified or created the elements by using shortcut keys

2. AIM:

In the question we have to create schedule for wall, door, window and material in previous week model 6 to 8

INTRODUCTION:

From week 6 to 8, I have worked on same project so that I prepare only one building door window schedule

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1) OPEN MODEL

• Launch the Revit software
• Click on open and select previously created drawing as Arch_Residential

STEP 2) CREATE SCHEDULE FOR WALL

• Go to view tab drop down schedule and click on schedule/quantities

• Select wall from dialog box and click ok

• Add required parameters in the list
• Arrange in order

• In the dialog box go to shorting/grouping tab and change the settings
• After change the setting similar walls can not be shown multiple time in schedule

• In the dialog box go to formatting changed to calculate totals
• Similarly change for cost

• After change the setting wall schedule prepare

STEP 3) CREATE SCHEDULE FOR DOOR

• Similarly did all the setting for door

STEP 4) CREATE SCHEDULE FOR WINDOW

• Similarly did all the setting for window

STEP 5) CREATE SCHEDULE MATERIAL

• Go to view tab drop down schedule and click on material takeoff

• Select stairs from dialog box and click ok

• Add required parameters in the list
• Arrange in order

RESULT:

Following above procedure, we got the result of each task

3. AIM:

In the question we have to create schedule report for area and volume of each room

INTRODUCTION:

Calculate the area and volume of each room then provide room tags and prepare report schedule

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1) OPEN MODEL

• Launch the Revit software
• Click on open and select previously created drawing as Arch_Residential

STEP 2) CALCULATE AREA AND VOLUME

• In the first-floor plan
• Go to architecture tab
• Select room under the room and area panel

• Click one by one in all rooms
• Used room separator to divide the hall with passage
• Edit the names of rooms accordingly

STEP 3) PREPARE SCHEDULE

• Go to view tab drop down schedule and click on schedule/quantities

• Select rooms from dialog box and click ok

• Add required parameters in the list
• Arrange in order>OK

• From shorting/ grouping tab check on grand total for calculate the total area

• For calculating total area of room select calculate totals from formatting tab for area only

RESULT:

Following above procedure, we got the result of area and volume of each room with appropriate tag and prepare room schedule

4. AIM:

In the question we have to create same schedule for material and prepare total cost of material

INTRODUCTION:

By using unit rate of material through internet prepared total cost of material individually

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1) OPEN MODEL

• Launch the Revit software
• Click on open and select previously created drawing as Arch_Residential

STEP 2) TOTAL COST OF MATERIAL

• Go to view tab drop down schedule and click on Material takeoff

• Select Door from dialog box and click ok

• Add required parameters in the list
• Created material take off schedule
• Similarly created other material take-off schedule

RESULT:

Following above procedure, we got the result of total cost of material and prepared schedule individually
