3) Using the file saved from week 2 to 4, create plan views for ground floor level and first floor level including all the walls , floors and components. Separate them to
architecture and structural plans
a. Architecture plan must have walls , floors and all the components placed within the building
b. Structure plan must have details of only walls, floors and columns

- rename the view as required(Ground floor architecture,First floor architecture etc. )
- Select the created view
Result: Creating plan views for ground floor level and first floor level including all the walls , floors and components and separating them to
architecture and structural plans is done.
4) Using annotate tool bar add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file
a. The architecture plan dimensions include details on where the components are placed within the buildings with relation to grids. Overall dimensions are sufficient for architecture plans
b. The Structure plan dimensions must include details on position of all the walls and interior walls with reference to grids. Locate all the framing components of the building with reference to a fixed point using Structural plans
Aim: To Use annotate tool bar and add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file
commands Used:
- Architectural
- Grids
- Annotation
- Dimensions
- Aligned
Procedure:
- Open the required floor plan
- Go to architectural tab
- Select grids
- Place the grids on the boundary of walls both vertical and transverse
- Rename the horizontal grids with alphabets and vertical with numbers
- Go to annoate tab
- Select Linear and draw the dimensions with reference to grids
- Repeat for other required plans
Result: Using annotate tool bar and adding dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file is done
5) Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views
Aim: To create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views
Commands used:
- View
- Sheet
- Load Items
Procedure:
- Go to view command
- Select sheet option
- Load and select the required template
- Edit the required parameters by double clicking on them
Result: creating a sheet template from the view tab and adjusting the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views is done
6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South and West
Aim: To create the elevation views, looking at the building from East, North, South and West
Commands used:
- View
- Elevation
Procedure:
- Go to view tab
- click on elevation
- Place the elevation at required positions (East,West,North,South) in plan
- double click to view plan
Result: Creating the elevation views, looking at the building from East, North, South and West is done
7) Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction
Aim: To Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction
Commands used:
- View
- Section
Procedure:
- Go to View tab
- Select Section
- Draw the section in the floor plan at required positions
- Double click on the section to view the section
Result: Producing section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction is done
8) Classify the views , Plan Views, Section Views and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser
Aim: To classify the views , Plan Views, Section Views and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser
Commands Used:
- View
- Sheet
- Place view
Procedure:
- Go to view tab
- Select Sheet option
- Load the required sheet template
- Select Place view from View tab
- Select the required view to be shown in sheet and place it in sheet
- Change the scale if required from property
- Double click on the sheet to make required changes
Result: Classifying the views , Plan Views, Section Views and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser is done
9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows
a. A 101 – Ground Floor Architecture Plan
b. A 102- First Floor Architecture Plan
c. A 103- Roof Plan
d. S 101- Ground Floor Structural Plan
e. S 102 – First Floor Structural Plan
f. S 103- Roof Framing Plan
g. A-201 – North South Elevations
h. A-202- East West Elevations
Add additional sheets based on the sections created in your revit file
Aim: To create multiple sheets as A 101 – Ground Floor Architecture Plan ,A 102- First Floor Architecture Plan etc
Commands Used:
