REVIT_ Plan, 3D View & Structural Drawings_Project 2

1.Question: Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below
a. Multi Unit Residential Apartment
b. Office Buildings
c. School

Ans) I would like to build a Multi Unit Residential Apartment.

2.Question:Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC.

Ans) The geographic and location details for my project modeling are :

• My project is a residential building in a residential area.
• The road width in front of my appartment is 30 feet road.
• Height limits are as per the FAR calculations only.
• Fire safety is aslo provided as per the NBC part iv.

3.Question:Using the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation
b. Columns
c. Beams Connected to Columns
d. Roof Framing/ Truss
e. Floor / Decks
f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs

Ans) AIM: To create structural model, include the components to elevate the structure.

COMMANDS USED:

Structural - Grids

- levels

- columns

- foundations

- beams

- floor

-shafts for lifts and staircase

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly open a structural file and name it accordingly.After that collaborate it by clicking on the collaborate option.
• Now select Grids under Structural icon and draw one grid vertically and horizontally.
• Select the manage tab and select the coordinate and specify its coordinates by changing it to 0'0".Repeat the same step for the another grid.
• Now save the project and close it.

• Now open a new file with arechitectural template and at the initial stage itself save the file accordingly.Now collaborate the project by clicking on collaborate icon.
• Now select Grid under Architectural icon and draw one grid vertically and another horizontally.
• Select the manage tab and select the coordinate and specify its coordinates by changing it to 0'0".Repeat the same step for the another grid.
• Now save the project and close it.

• Now open a fresh file with the architectural template and name it in such a way that you can identify it easily since it is the file in which we are going to have both the files i.e structural and architectural files.
• Now with the help open the manage links bring both architectural file and and structural file.
• Now with the help of position icon relocate the grids and make them place as show in the figure.
• Now save the project again.
• Now open the structural file and draw the remaining girds as per the design that you need to create and name them accordingly.

• Go to the elevation and draw the levels using the level icon present in the structural tab as many as required.
• Now draw the foundations at the intersections of the grids with required dimensions.

• Now draw the colounms at the intersection of the grids with required dimensions.

• Now draw the beams at from one end of the colunms to anonther end so that it creates a proper loop and we can get the beams for our structre in one go.

• Now it time to create a good flooring for the structure,so select the floor and with the help of draw lines option draw the floor with appropriate boundries.
• Now create a shaft opening for the placement of elevators and staris of the building by clicking on the shaft option present in the structural tab.

RESULT:

Hence the structural model of my choice including all the components to elevate the structure is created.

4.Question:Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
a. Wall Layout with appropriate material and finishing
b. Exterior façade with fancy finish
c. Interior partition walls to size rooms
d. Components to add details to room ( Desk, Chair, Lighting, Plumbing fixtures)
e. Add components such as stairs Elevators
f. Have at-least one side of building with curtain walls and glass panels
g. Include interior and exterior lighting fixtures
h. Place proper topographic components from outside ( Trees, Parking, Plants) to add details to the model

Ans) AIM:To create architectural model, include the following components that elevate the building's beauty.

COMMANDS USED:

Architectural -> walls

-> partition walls

-> roof

-> celling

Insert -> load families -> doors,windows,desk,chair,plants, elevators,beds,utilities etc.

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly open the architectural file that we have inserted the structural.
• Now select the copy monitor and copy all the grids from the structural file.

• Go to the elevation and draw the levels using the level icon present in the architectural tab as many as required.
• Whatever is done to the ground floor that is to be coppied to the rest of the floors.
• Select the wall option from the architectural tab and draw the exterior walls also by keeping in the mind that one of the side must be a glass wall so that we can have a view.
• Now draw the interior wall with the required dimension

• Now draw a flat accordingly with the desired dimensions and place the componen

• Now to place the components firstly select the insert tab and load the families and then we will find the loaded components in the project browsers such as doors,windows,toiletries,beds,tables,chairs,sofa,kitchenware etc.

• Now by clicking on them we can place them in the project at desired loactions

• Now place the celling with the help of pick lines option.
• Now draw the roof by selecting the roof by footprints option and draw it with the help of pick lines option.

RESULT:

Hence the architectural model of my choice including all the components to elevate the structure is created.

5.Question:Provide set of drawings in architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included
a. Floor Plans with Annotations
b. Elevations
c. Sections

Ans) AIM: To show the architectural and structural models in the appropriate sheet templates.

COMMANDS USED:

View tab -> sheets -> edit sheets

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly select the view tab and select sheets and load it from the family.
• Now click on the sheet names and address and change them accordingly.
• Now click on the insert option and insert the screenshort that you have previouly taken of all the section, plan and elevation views.

RESULT:

Hence the architectural and structural models are placed in the appropriate sheet templates.

6.Question: Using the Rendering settings, Render images of 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
c. Rendering through structural framing

Ans) AIM:To render the images of 3D model produced and include the rendered images to the drawing sheets.

COMMANDS USED:

View -> Render

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly select the images of the interior,exterior and structural framing and select the render option for rendering.
• After clicking on render option a dialog box appers and in the we need to set the settings such as the the region, artificial settings,lighting,cloud visibility etc.

RESULT:

Hence the rendered images are put into drawing sheets.

7.Question: Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from architecture and structure model.

Ans) AIM:To Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from architecture and structure model.

COMMANDS USED:

Print -> select page -> select plotter -> Print

PROCEDURE:

• Select the views and click print option .
• Adjust the settings accordingly and print the drawing sheets .

RESULT:

Since i am not having a printer installed at my home i'm just pasteing the images of drawing sheets here.
