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: 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

procedure:

now open the architectural template and open view tab

select the schedule quantites. now open the components such as walls,doors etc.

we can see that a tab is diaplayed .

open and select things which we want to display in schedule.

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.

ans:

aim : 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.

procedure:

same as privious one open the arch template file.

open the view command and select the schedule command.

we can see that a tab is displayed.

noow select rooms and select parameters areas,volumes and click ok.

we can see that area schedule is created.

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

ans:

aim: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

procedure:

open the architectural template file.

open view command and select schedule quantites .

open material takeoff and specify the name and enter.

select the required parameters.

select the totalcost and define the formula to total cost.

results:

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: framings for a structure using Dynamo.

flow chat for pipes are as follows;

flow chat for request of money from clint for a project:
