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
ans)
- 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 = Dl
h. To bring the model elements inline = 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
ans)
Aim : To prepare a schedule for the following

c)

d)

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.
ans)Aim: Calculate area and volume of each room in the model
Tools Used:
- room tag
- schedul
procedure:
To crate a room schedule
1)irst tag all rooms with specified names
2) then click in schendule and select room

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
ans)
Aim: To prepare total cost of materials used in the project
Tools Used:
- schedule
- material take off
Procedure:
1)asign cost for each material
2) add cost parameter in the room schedule
