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
AIM : TO CREATE SCHEDULE FOR DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN PROJECT 2
INTRODUCTION :
A SCHEDULE IS A TABULAR DISPLAY OF INFORMATION, EXTRACTED FROM THE PROPERTIES OF THE ELEMENTS IN A PROJECT.
PROCEDURE :
WALLS SCHEDULE
OPEN THE REVIT PROJECT
GO TO VIEW MANU
GO TO CREATE TAB
CLICK ON THE SCHEDULE DROP DOWN ARROW
THEN SELECT THE SCHEDULE / QUANTITIES
THEN SELECT THE CATEGORY TYPE
CATEGORY TYPE AS WALL
NAME AS WALL SCHEDULE
CLICK ON OK
THEN SELECT THE REQUIRED AVAILABLE FIELDS
CLICK ON INDUDE ELEMENTS IN LINKS
CLICK ON OK
THEN CHECK THE SCHEDULE
DOORS SCHEDULE
OPEN THE REVIT PROJECT
GO TO VIEW MANU
GO TO CREATE TAB
CLICK ON THE SCHEDULE DROP DOWN ARROW
THEN SELECT THE SCHEDULE / QUANTITIES
THEN SELECT THE CATEGORY TYPE
CATEGORY TYPE AS DOORS
NAME AS DOORS SCHEDULE
CLICK ON OK
THEN SELECT THE REQUIRED AVAILABLE FIELDS
CLICK ON INDUDE ELEMENTS IN LINKS
CLICK ON OK
THEN CHECK THE SCHEDULE
WINDOWS SCHEDULE
OPEN THE REVIT PROJECT
GO TO VIEW MANU
GO TO CREATE TAB
CLICK ON THE SCHEDULE DROP DOWN ARROW
THEN SELECT THE SCHEDULE / QUANTITIES
THEN SELECT THE CATEGORY TYPE
CATEGORY TYPE AS WINDOWS
NAME AS WINDOWS SCHEDULE
CLICK ON OK
THEN SELECT THE REQUIRED AVAILABLE FIELDS
CLICK ON INDUDE ELEMENTS IN LINKS
CLICK ON OK
THEN CHECK THE SCHEDULE
MATERIAL SCHEDULE FOR FLOORS
OPEN THE REVIT PROJECT
GO TO VIEW MANU
GO TO CREATE TAB
CLICK ON THE SCHEDULE DROP DOWN ARROW
THEN SELECT THE SCHEDULE / MATERIAL
THEN SELECT THE CATEGORY TYPE
CATEGORY TYPE AS FLOORS
NAME AS FLOORS MATERIAL SCHEDULE
CLICK ON OK
THEN SELECT THE REQUIRED AVAILABLE FIELDS
CLICK ON INDUDE ELEMENTS IN LINKS
CLICK ON OK
THEN CHECK THE SCHEDULE
RESULT :
WALLS SCHEDULE
DOORS SCHEDULE
WINDOWS SCHEDULE
MATERIAL SCHEDULE FOR FLOORS OR MATERIAL TAKEOFF
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.
