REVIT_ Scheduling & Estimation_Week 9

1)AIM: To use shortcut keys in Revit for the following tasks

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

2)AIM: Create schedules of the following.

TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:

View

Schedule

Schedule properties

Schedule quantities

PROCEDURE:

1: Open the architectural template in Revit.

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

3: Select schedule quantities.

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

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

6: Now schedules appear.

Result: Schedules are prepared for doors, windows and walls.

3)

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

TOOLS/COMMMANDS USED:

View

1: Open the architectural file in Revit.

2: Select the view option and select schedule.

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

4: Select the parameters like areas, volumes.

5: Click on OK.

6: Rooms area, volume is scheduled.

Result: Area and volumes are calculated for each room.

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

TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:

View

Schedule

Material take off

PROCEDURE:

1: Open the architectural template in Revit.

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

3: Specify the name and click on OK.

4: Select the required parameters.

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

Result: Total cost of material schedule is prepared.

4) Using the concept of Visual Programming discussed in class, list a flowchart for the following scenario
