Preparing Schedule & Cost Estimation for a building using REVIT
1A)
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
- Set in 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 and window one bye one to create similar element
- Type command CS
- Automatic door 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
- Type RO command
- Select item to be 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:
modified or created the elements by using shortcut keys.
2A)
- Walls
- Doors
- Windows
- Material – Concrete/Wood
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 the above procedure, we got the result of each task.
3A)
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
4A)
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 the above procedure, we got the result of total cost of material and prepared schedule individually.
