2.Question: 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 the schedules of the walls,doors,windows and material like concrete or wood.

TOOLS USED:

View -> schedule -> schedule quantities -> schedule properties

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly open the file containing a residential plan with architectural template.
• Now click on the view tab and go to the schedule icon.

• Now click on the schedule quantities and then you will be directed to a dialog box and there select the components such as window,door,walls and flooring depending upon the type.

• Now schedule properties tab will be seen on the screen and now select the types that you wanted it to display in the schedule area such as area,volume etc.

• Now click ok.

RESULT:

Hence the schedules of the walls,doors,windows and material like concrete or wood are seen on the screen.

3.Question: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.

Ans) AIM:Calculate area and volume of each room in the model using Revit.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

View -> schedule -> schedule quantities -> schedule properties

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly open the file containing a residential plan with architectural template.

• Now click on the view tab and go to the schedule icon.

• Now click on the schedule quantities and then you will be directed to a dialog box and there select the component room.
• Now select the parameters like area and volume and click ok.

RESULT:

Hence rooms are scheduled with appropriate room tags applied to each room.

4.Question: 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

Ans) AIM: To create a schedule for total cost of materials.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

View -> schedule -> material takeoff

PROCEDURE:

• Firstly open the file containing a residential plan with architectural template.

• Now click on the view tab and go to the schedule icon.
• Now select the material takeoff and secify the material their.

• Now select the parameters such as area and volume that you desired to show.
• Now select the the total cost and select the calculated and defined formule for total cost.

RESULT:

Hence the schedule for total cost of materials is been show here.
