Preparing Schedule & Cost Estimation for a building using REVIT

1) Use the shortcut keys in Revit discussed in class to complete the following tasks and list them below

AIM : 

        To Use the shortcut keys in Revit discussed in class to complete the following tasks and list them below

INTRODUCTION : 

        Shortcut keys help provide an easier and quicker method of navigating and executing commands in the computer software. Shortcut keys are performed using the Alt key (on IBM compatible computers), Command (on Apple computers), Ctrl key, or Shift key in conjunction with another key.

PROCEDURE : 

       a. Using 3D model create a section box

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Section box - BX

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

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Create similar - CS

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

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Thin line - TL

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

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Visibility Graphics and Override setting - VG

        f. To select the previously selected items

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Reselect - Ctrl+<

        g. To add annotations to the model views

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Dimension - DI

        h. To bring the model elements in line

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Align - AL

        i. To rotate the model elements

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Rotate - R

        j. To move an object to another location

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Move - MV

        k. To copy a model element

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Copy - CO

       l. To mirror an element about an axis

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Mirror- MM

       m. To create an array of model elements

          KEYBOARD SHORTCUT : Array - AR

 

RESULT : 

      Finally Completed the following tasks and list them below about use the shortcut keys in Revit

 

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 using Revit and the project used from week 6 to 8 prepare a schedule for the following

INTRODUCTION : 

 A schedule is a tabular display of information, extracted from the properties of the elements in a project. A schedule can list every instance of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple instances onto a single row, based on the schedule's grouping criteria.

PROCEDURE : 

PLAN : 

          

 a. Walls : 

• Open the revit software 
• make sheet as architectural template
• And draw plan as given above 
• Use the shedules > in the view tab

 

           

• Use the shedule option to take the (schedule/quantities)

 

            

• After selection of schedule/quantities it's automatically open the new shedule box
• And just pick the walls option, and then click ok
• And select the material in available field
• Then make import the material to available field to shedule field (in order)

 

           

           

• After import the material Assemble
• Just click ok
• Now we can seen below, its make the wall shedule table

           

 

b. Doors : 

• Same like as use the above procedure for doors shedule
• Use the shedules > in the view tab
• Use the shedule option to take the (schedule/quantities)

 

         

• After selection of schedule/quantities it's automatically open the new shedule box
• And just pick the doors option, and then click ok
• And select the material in available field
• Then make import the material to available field to shedule field (in order)

 

         

• After import the material Assemble
• Just click ok
• Now we can seen below, its make the wall shedule table

 

         

c. Windows : 

• Same like as use the above procedure for window shedule
• Use the shedules > in the view tab
• Use the shedule option to take the (schedule/quantities)

 

        

• After selection of schedule/quantities it's automatically open the new shedule box
• And just pick the windows option, and then click ok
• And select the material in available field
• Then make import the material to available field to shedule field (in order)

 

         

• After import the material Assemble
• Just click ok
• Now we can seen below, its make the window shedule table

 

         

d. Material – Concrete/Wood : 

• Here some procedures are different
• Now we can take the material take off in shedule tab

 

        

• After selection of material take off it's automatically open the new material takeoff box
• And just pick the floor option, and then click ok
• And select the material in available field
• Then make import the material to available field to shedule field (in order)

 

        

• After import the material Assemble
• Just click ok
• Now we can seen below, its make the floor material shedule table

 

        

 

RESULT : 

    1.) WALLS :

           

    2.) DOORS :

          

    3.) WINDOWS : 

         

    4.) MATERIAL CONCRETE (FLOOR) :

         

 

 

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.

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.

INTRODUCTION : 

 A schedule is a tabular display of information, extracted from the properties of the elements in a project. A schedule can list every instance of the type of element you are scheduling, or it can collapse multiple instances onto a single row, based on the schedule's grouping criteria.

PROCEDURE : 

• Here use the same plan as given above 
• And just pick the room option
• Then select the rooms what you want 
• And make the name of the rooms 
• And pick the colour scheme in analize tab
• Then the rooms are created as shown below

 

              

 

• Use the shedules > in the view tab
• Select the material take off
• it's can open automatically the new schedule box
• And the select the room and then click ok.

 

     

       

• we can import the wanted materials from available fields to the schedule field
• And then click ok

 

       

• Here we can see the result as finally the room schedule as beeen created in below

 

       

 

RESULT : 

 

             

 

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

 

AIM : 

      To using Revit and the project used from week 6 to 8 prepare a schedule for the following
