REVIT_ Plan, 3D View & Structural Drawings_Project 2

1) 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: From thegiven options,I would like to build a Multi Unit Residential Apartment.

2) 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 :

1. My project is a building in a residential area.
2. The road width in front of my appartment is 60 feet road.
3. My project is in a plan from the excavation is done.
4. In my project A room provided with a water closet. These rooms are provided with flush cisterns used as a toilet only..
5. Height limits are as per the FAR calculations only.
6. Fire safety is 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

Aim: To create structural model, include the components to elevate the structure.

Tools 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 and draw one grid each vertically and horizontally.
• Select the coordinate and specify its coordinates by changing it to 0'0".
• Now save the project and close it.

• Now open a new file with architectural template and save the file accordingly.
• Now collaborate the project by clicking on collaborate icon.
• Draw one grid vertically and another horizontally.
• Select the coordinate and specify its coordinates by changing it to 0'0".
• Now save the project and close it.

• Now open a fresh file with the architectural template in which we are going to have both structural and architectural files.
• Bring both architectural file and and structural file.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 your need and name them

• Draw the levels using the level icon present in the structural tab as required.
• Draw the foundations at the intersections of the grids with required dimensions.
• Draw the colunms at the intersection of the grids with required dimensions.
• 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 as required.

• Select the floor and with the help of draw lines option draw the floor with appropriate boundries.
• 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: The structural model of my choice including all the components to elevate the structure is created.

4) 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

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

Tools Required: Architectural Tab, walls,partition walls, roof,celling,Insert, load families, doors,windows,desk,chair,plants, elevators, etc,.

Procedure:

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

• Draw the levels as required.
• copy all to the rest of the floors.
• Draw the exterior walls also by keeping in the mind that one of the side must be a glass wall.
• Draw the interior wall with the required dimensions.

• Draw a flat accordingly with the desired dimensions and place the components.

• For placing the components 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

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

Result: The architectural model of my choice including all the components to elevate the structure is created.

5) 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

Aim: To show the architectural and structural models in the appropriate sheet templates.

Tools Required: View tab, sheets, edit sheets

Procedure:

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

Result: The architectural and structural models are placed in the appropriate sheet templates.

6) 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

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

Tools Required: View, Render

Procedure:

• 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: The rendered images are put into drawing sheets.

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

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

Tools Required: 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.
