i) To rotate the model element - RO

j) To move an object to another location - MV

k) To copy the model element - CO

l) To mirror an element about an axis - MM

m) To create an array of model element - AR

Q. 2)

Aim - To prepare the schedule for the following

Procedure -

• Open the architectural model created previously.
• Go to view tab then Schedule then select Schedule/Quantities

• Now,select the field

a) Wall Schedule -

• For wall schedule choose the parameters for scheduling and then click ok

• The wall schedule is prepared as given below

• Hence ,the wall schedule is prepared.
• Similarly,we prepare door schedule,window schedule, and material concrete/wood schedule

b) Door Schedule -

• Go to view tab then select Schedule then Schedule/Quantities
• Select door

• Select the parameters to be considered for doors
• Door Schedule is given below

c) Window Schedule -

• Go to view tab then schedule then select Schedule/Quantities
• Then select the category as window

• Select the parameters to be considered for windows
• The window schedule is prepared given below

d) Material concrete/wood -

• Go to view tab then schedule then select material takeoff
• Select the category as floor

• Select the parameters to be considered for floor material

• Material takeoff schedule is given below

• Similarly,material takeoff for doors is prepared

Result -

• The wall,door,window and material schedule have been prepared.

Q. 3)

Aim - To prepare the schedule report for area and volume of each room

Procedure -

• Go to view tab then select schedule then select schedule/quantities
• Select the category as room

• Select the parameters to be considered for room

• The room area schedule is given as -

Result -

• Hence,room area schedule is prepared

Q. 4)

Aim - To prepare the schedule of total cost of materials

Procedure -

1) For walls

• Go to view tab then select schedule then select material takeoff
• Select the category

• select the parameters for walls

• Now we have to include the total cost parameters which is a calculated quantity
• For this go to add calculated quantity

The wall material takesoff is given as

• Similarly,prepare for doors,windows,floors material takeoff schedule

Doors material takeoff schedule -

Result -

• Hence the total cost and individual material takeoff schedule has been prepared
