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:
Open the previously created architectural model first
then go to view tab>schedules>schedule/quantities
a) wall schedule1:
1)Now the wall selects the schedule parameters and clicks OK.
2) the wall schedule is prepared as given
b) Door schedule
view>schedule>schedule/qantities
select door
the door schedule is prepared as given
c) window schedule
view > schedule > schedule/quantities
now,select the category as window
the window schedule is prepared as given
d) material concrete /wood
view>schedule>material takeoff
now select the category as floors
the material concrete schedule is prepared as given
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.
procedure
Go to view >schedule>schedule/quantities
now select the category as room
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 walls
go to view> schedules >material take off
select category as wall
select the paramaters for wall
Prepare for material takeoff scedules for doors, windows, floors, and furnishings in the same way.
door material takeoff
windows material take off
floor material take off
furniture material takeoff
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
a)
