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 a 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 inline
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 a 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 architectural 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, volume, type

Click ok

Results:-

3) Using Revit Calculate the area and volume of each room in the model with appropriate room tags applied to each room. Prepare a schedule report for the 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 dialogue box select rooms

Select the parameters like areas volumes

Click ok

Rooms area schedule is obtained

4) Using the same schedule using the unit cost rate for materials available on the internet, prepare the total cost of materials used in the project
a. Total Cost of Materials
b. Individual Material Takeoff

AIM:- Create a schedule of the 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 define the formula for the total cost

Result:-

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 the request for money from a client has been declined for the project

Ans:-
