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 :

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

INTRODUCTION :

PROCEDURE :

1.) FOR WALLS :

Open the revit software
make sheet as architectural template
Use the shedules > in the view tab
Select the material takeoff

Then select the walls option
It's automatically open the material takeoff properties

And select the material in available field
Then make import the material to available field to shedule field (in order)
And then open the calculated option in above the modify tab
Select one schedule tab like i select the description option
Then select the calulated tab and make name and formula
the formula as given below the image
And then click ok

It's automatically formula as calculate the value in the tabel shown below

2.) FOR DOORS :

Same like as the above procedure
Use the shedules > in the view tab
Select the material takeoff
Select the door option here
And then click ok

It's automatically open the material takeoff properties

And select the material in available field
Then make import the material to available field to shedule field (in order)
And then open the calculated option in above the modify tab
Select one schedule tab like i select the description option
Then select the calulated tab and make name and formula
The formula as given below the image
And then click ok

It's automatically formula as calculate the value in the tabel shown below

RESULT :

1. FOR WALLS :

2.) FOR DOORS :

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 ?
b. If there is no water coming from the pipes
c. If request for money from client has been declined for the project

A.)
