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
ans)
The shortcut keys for the above mentioned tasks are:
a. Using 3D model create a section box = Box
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 + < ( CONTROL PLUS LEFT ARROW)
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
I. 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 prepare a schedule of the project from week 6 to 8 linke walls, doors, windows and materials-concrete/wood.
TOOLS USED :
• View.
• Schedule.
• Schedule properties.
• Schedule quantities
PROCEDURE :
1. Open the arctitectural template which we have used previously.
2. Click on the view tab.
3.select schedule quantity from the view tab
4.
5.select all components like doors windows and materials wood/concrete etc,.
6.next schedule tab dialouge box will appear select components which needs to be displayed.
result:
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: We have to create areas and volume for each room using revit and assign appropriate room tags to each room. To prepare a schedule for each room area and volume
TOOLS USED:
• View
Schedules
Schedule properties Schedule quantities.
PROCEDURE :
1. Open the architectural template which we have used before.
2. Go to the view tab.
3. Select schedules option from the view tab
4. the schedule dialogue box will pop out.
5. select the required parameters such as area and volume etc,.
6. then we can obtain the area nd volume schedule.
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: With the help of schedules we have to create the unit cost rate for materials avaliable in the internet used in the project.
TOOLS USED:
• View.
• Schedule.
• Schedule properties,
• Schedule quantities. • Material takeoff.
procedure:
1.open the architectural template which we have used in prior week.
2.select the schedules option from the view tab
3.from the schedule dialog box select on material takeoff and click on ok.
4.
5.select the required parametres and calculate the cost.
result:
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) 
b)
c)
