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
- 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
AIM: To create plan views for ground floor and first floor of the building.
TOOLA/COMMANDS USED:
Open

View plan views level
PROCEDURE:
Step-1: Open the Revit file.
Step-2: After the file has opened go to the view panel in the toolbar.
Step-3: Now select the drop down of the plan views option in the view panel
Step-4: Now click on floor plans.
Step-5: Now a dialog box of new floor plan appears.
Step-6: Select the required floor.
Step-7: Now the floor plans are created for the ground floor and first floor.
RESULT:
The floor plans are successfully created for the ground and first floors.
REMARKS:
We were not taught about the structural template and plans in the course sessions.
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.
- 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
- 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 add dimensions to all floors and plans using grids.
TOOLS/COMPONENTS USED:
Architectural
Grids
Annotate
Aligned tool
PROCEDURE:
Step-1: Go to the Revit file.
Step-2: Open the project file.
Step-3: Select architectural tab and select grids.
Step-4: Draw the transversal and longitudinal gridlines for al the interior and exterior walls
Step-5: Now name the grid lines accordingly.
Step-6: Now go to annotate tool bar choose the aligned option to measure the distance between the grid lines.
RESULT:
All dimensions to the plans are successfully measured using grids and annotate toolbar.
5) Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views.
AIM: To create sheet templates.
TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:
Properties
Sheets
PROCEDURE:
Step-1: Open the Revit file.
Step-2: Go to view tool bar in the ribbon.
Step-3: Select the sheets.
Step-4: Now the dialog box of new sheets appears.
Step-5: Now select the required sheet or load the sheet required.
Step-6: Now the unnamed sheet appears on the screen.
Step-7: Now go to the properties palette.
Step-8: Now change the details like project name, issued date, etc. according to the project.
RESULT:
A sheet template is created successfully and parameters were added.
6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South and West.
AIM: To create elevation views.
TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:
Project browser
Elevations
East
West
North
South
PROCEDURE:
Step-1: Open the Revit file.
Step-2: Go to the project browser.
Step-3: Go to the elevations in the project browser.
Step-4: Now select the east to get elevation of the building in east.
Step-5: Now select north to get elevation of the building in north direction.
Step-6: Now select south to get the building elevation in south direction.
Step-7: Now select the west to get elevation of the building in west direction.
RESULT:
The elevation views for the building are created successfully.
7) Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction.
AIM: To produce section cut.
TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:
View tool bar
Section
PROCEDURE:
Step-1: Open the Revit file.
Step-2: Now go to the view tool bar on the ribbon.
Step-3: Select the section.
Step-4: Create the sections wherever needed.
Step-5: Now section view of the building is obtained when a particular section is selected.
RESULT:
The sectional views for all rooms are successfully created in transverse and longitudinal directions using grids.
8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using Properties browser.
Views are classified into three categories,
1)Plan view:
This view consists different levels like level 1, level 2, etc…
Name of the level 1 is created as ground level by default.
Names of the levels can be changed as per our convenience.
2)Sectional view:
Section views are used to place the sections in the 2D plans. For this we need to go to view option and select 3D options.
3)Elevation view:
This is type of view through which different elevations can be seen. For this we need to select elevation option in the view menu on the top. It will be loaded in the property browser. There will be different options like east, west, north and south. For example, if you double click on east, then the view will be appeared in east direction. Similarly select other options like west, north and south. The plan will be loaded and appeared in different elevations respectively.
9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows
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.
AIM: To create multiple sheet templates.
TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:
View
Sheets
PROCEDURE:
Step-1: Open the Revit file.
Step-2: Go to view tool bar in the ribbon.
Step-3: select ground floor.
Step-4: Select sheets.
Step-5: Select the required type of sheet in the new sheet dialog box.
Step-6: Fill in the project details for ground floor and name it as A 101.
Step-7: Now do the same for the first floor naming it as A 102 and roof as A 103.
RESULT:
Multiple sheets are created for the building successfully.
10) Create a camera specific view or a 3D view in each room (living, dining, bedroom). Based on the views create new sheet of sheets starting A-501 (you can add as many sheets after, 502, 503, … n) to place the 3D view images. Produce the sheets as a part of project drafting.
AIM: To create camera specific views in all room of the building.
TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:
View
Camera
Sheets
PROCEDURE:
Step-1: Open the Revit file.
Step-2: Go to view and select the drop down at 3D view.
Step-3: Select camera.
Step-4: Now select the rooms that are to be viewed.
- Camera view at living room.
- Camera view in kitchen.
- Camera view in bedroom 1.
- Camera view in bedroom2.
- Camera view in dining room.
- Camera view in bathroom 1.
- Camera view in bathroom 2.
