REVIT_ Scheduling & Estimation_Week 9

1) Use the shortcut keys in Revit discussed in class to complete the following tasks and list them below
a. Using 3D model create a section box
b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view
e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view
f. To select the previously selected items
g. To add annotations to the model views
h. To bring the model elements in line
i. To rotate the model elements
j. To move an object to another location
k. To copy a model element
l. To mirror an element about an axis
m. To create an array of model elements

AIM:- Use the shortcut keys in Revit for the following tasks

a. Using 3D model create a section box= BX
b. To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout= CS
c. To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views= TL
d. To apply override settings to a floor in the model section view= EOD
e. To increase the range of visibility in a plan view= VR
f. To select the previously selected items= CTRL+<
g. To add annotations to the model views= DI
h. To bring the model elements in line= AL
i. To rotate the model elements= RO
j. To move an object to another location= MV
k. To copy a model element= CO/CC
l. To mirror an element about an axis=MM
m. To create an array of model elements=AR

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:- Create schedules of the following

Commands used:-

View

Schedule

Schedule quantities

Schedule properties

Procedure:-

Open the archtitectural template in revit

click the view command and select schedule quantities

Select the component such as walls, columns, doors etc

Schedule properties tab will open select the things which we want to display in schedule like area, volumn, type

Click ok

Results:-

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:- Using Revit calculate the area and volume of each room

Commands used:-

View

Schedules

Procedure:-

Open the architectural file in revit

Select the view option and select schedule

In the dialoge box select rooms

Select the parameters like areas volumes

Seleck ok

Rooms area schedule is obtained

Results:-

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:- Create a schedule of total cost of material

Commands Used:-

View

Schedule

Material Takeoff

Procedure:-

Open the architectural template in Revit

Select the view tab and select schedule and select material take off

Specify the name click ok

Select the parameters which we need

Select the total cost and select calculated and sefine the formula for total cost

Result:-

P.S Here I have put two materials takeoff we can make similar to others material schedule with the same procedure.

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

Ans:-

a. Framing structure of the building or project is as follows;-

b. Flow chart for pipes are as follows:-

c. Flow chart for request of money from client for a project is as follows:-
