Question:1) Use the shortcut keys in Revit discussed in class to complete the following tasks and list them below
a. Using 3D model create a section box

Section Box from properties browser

Select a component the type BX

b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout

Create similar - CS

Click a component u want to reproduce > type CS and copy

c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views

TL to reduce thickeness of lines

d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view

To edit floor component > Type "VG"

e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view

Type VR

f. To select the previously selected items

Control + left arrow key

It shows previously selected item

g. To add annotations to the model views

Type DI for dimension

h. To bring the model elements in line

Align - AL

We can align two objects

i. To rotate the model elements

Rotate - RO

j. To move an object to another location

Copy - CO

k. To copy a model element

Move - MV

l. To mirror an element about an axis

Mirror - MM

m. To create an array of model elements

Array - AA

Question:2) Using Revit and the project used from week 6 to 8 prepare a schedule for the following

b. Doors

c. Windows

d. Material – Concrete

Question: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.

Question: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

Question: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 ?

Steps:) Arrange the shuttering plywood > Place it with suitable bottom support > Arrange reinforcement> Pour Concrete > Compacting > curing for code described days > Completed

b. If there is no water coming from the pipes

Step:) Check water in overhead tanks > Check for any leakage > Check for any blocks > fix the issue

c. If request for money from client has been declined for the project

Step 1:) First talk to client regarding the advncement of project and requirements
