2. AIM: To use Revit and the project used from week 6 to 8 to prepare a schedule for the following
   a.Walls
   b. Doors
   c. Windows
   d. Material – Concrete/Wood

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• View tab
• Schedules option

PROCEDURE:

• Open project file from week 7.
• 
• Click on view tab and select schedules option.
• Now click on schedules/ quantities option to create schedules.
• Now first select walls and click ok and then add all properties like area and volume.
• 
• And then click ok so that schedule is created.
• 
• Do the same with windows, doors and material.
• 
• 

RESULT:

Schedules for given elements are created.

3. AIM: To use revit to calculate area and volume of each room in the model with appropriate room tags applied to each room. And also to Prepare a schedule report for area and volume of each room.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• View tab
• Schedules option

PROCEDURE:

• Open the existing project file.
• Click on view tab and select schedules option. In that select schedules/quantities option.
• 
• Now click on rooms option and add required properties like area and volume.
• 
• 

RESULT:

Schedules for rooms with area and volume are created.

4. AIM: Touse the same schedule for 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

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• View tab
• Schedules option

PROCEDURE:

• Open existing project file.
• Click on view tab and select schedules option.
• 
• Now select material take off option.
• Create a formula for total cost of materials and click ok.
• 
• Schedule will be created.
• 
• Do the same for other components.
• 
• 

RESULT:

Schedules are created for total cost of materials and individual material take off.

5. AIM: To use the concept of Visual Programming discussed in class to list a flowchart for the following scenario
