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

ANS:

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

a. 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=DI
h. To bring the model elements in line=AI
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 create a scheedule for the project for walls,doors,windows,materials

TOOLS USED:

FILE
VIEW
SCHEDULES

PROCEDURE:

open the file that has been created week 7 and 8
go to view tab
click on schedules / quantities
a window will popup
select the components which are required
schedule properties tab will popup
select the fields like name,width,area,type
simillarly, we need to make another schedule for windows etc.,

RESULT:

WALLS SCHEDULE:

DOORS SCHEDULE:

WINDOWS SCHEDULE:

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: to use revit and 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.

TOOLS USED:

FILE
VIEW
SCHEDULE
ROOM

PROCEDURE:

open an existing file of week 7
click on view tab
click on schedule/quantities
prepare a schedule of room
select the types required

RESULT:

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

AIM: To prepare cost of materials used in the project using schedule

TOOLS USED:

FILE
VIEW TAB
MATERIALS TAKE OFF

PROCEDURE:

open and existing file of weelk 7
go to view tab
clik on schedule
select material takeoff
select the files required to be added in schedule
a)schedule will be created
b)similarlly create a schedule for other components ex: DOOR

RESULT: hence required cost sheets has been scheduled properly

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
