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 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 in line
   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: To use shortcut keys in Revit for the following tasks

• To create any array of model elements= AR
• To mirror an element about an axis= MM
• To copy a model element= CO/CC
• To move an object to another location= MV
• To rotate the mode elements= RO
• To bring the model elements in line= AL
• To add annotations to the model views= DI
• To select the previously selected items= CTRL+<
• To increase the range of visibility in a plan view= VR
• To apply override settings to a floor in the model sectional view= EOD
• To reduce the thickness of lines visible in plan views= TL
• To create similar doors and windows in a floor plan layout= CS
• Using 3D model create a section box= BX

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

AIM: Create schedules of the following.

TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:

View

Schedule

Schedule properties

Schedule quantities

PROCEDURE:

Step-1: Open the architectural template in Revit.

Step-2: Click the view command and click on the drop down at schedules.

Step-3: Select schedule quantities.

Step-4: Select the required category in new schedule dialog box.

Step-5: Now select the required properties of the category or component.

Step-6: Now schedules appear.

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.

AIM: Using Revit calculate the area and volume of each room.

TOOLS/COMMMANDS USED:

View

Schedules

PROCEDURE:

Step-1: Open the architectural file in Revit.

Step-2: Select the view option and select schedule.

Step-3: Select rooms in the dialog box of new schedule.

Step-4: Select the parameters like areas, volumes.

Step-5: Click on OK.

Step-6: Rooms area, volume is scheduled.

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
Total Cost of Materials
b. Individual Material Take off

AIM: To create a schedule of total cost of material.

TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:

View

Schedule

Material take off

PROCEDURE:

Step-1: Open the architectural template in Revit.

Step-2: Select the view tab and select schedule and select material take off in the drop down.

Step-3: Specify the name and click on OK.

Step-4: Select the required parameters.

Step-5: Select the total cost and select calculated and define the formula fro total cost.

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

a. Framing structure of the building or project is as follows,

b. Flow chart for pipes are as follows,

c. Flow chart for request of money from client for a project is as follows,
