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
RESULT:Create schedules of the following is done successfully

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
Results:- Using Revit calculate the area and volume of each room is done successfully

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:- Create a schedule of the total cost of material is done

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:- 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
