Q2) 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.

ANSWER:

AIM: To prepare a schedule of the project from previous model link wall, window,doors, and material componenets.

TOOLS ARE USED:

• View. 
• schedule.
• Schedule properties.
• Schedule quantities.

PROCEDURE

1). open the schedule tab in view, and select the schedule quantities and press enter.

2). Select the components like walls, doors, windows and materials.

3). Then th schedule tab dialog box appears then select the components that it display the schedules.

RESULT:

DOOR SCHEDULE

WALL SCHEDULE:

WINDOW SCHEDULE:

Finaly we prepare the schedule of listed given above.

Q3) 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.

ANSWER:

AIM: To 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:

1. SELECT THE schedule quantities in view tab

2. Then, add the room schedules and click ok to enter the room schedules OF EACH ROOM SCHEDULES.

RESULT:

Q4) 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.

ANSWER:

AIM: To create schedule sheet to calculate the total cost.

PROCEDURE: 1. select the view tab, the material takeoff option is selected to obtain the material cost and material take off as shown below.

RESULT: WALL MATERIAL TAKEOFF:

Door material takeoff:
