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
Answer:
a. Using 3D model create a section box = BX

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 = AL
i. To rotate the model elements = RO
j. To move an object to another location = MV
k. To copy a model element = CO
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

Door Schedule:
Window Schedule:
Material Takeoff:
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.
Answer:
Aim:

2) Click Rooms
3) Add the scheduled fields you want to show in schedule.
4) Here am choosing Assembly description, area, number, volume count
5) Click ok
Step 2:
1) After added all the scheduled fields the screen will show the room area and volume in the schedule.
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
Answer:
Aim:
To creating a Total Cost of Materials and Individual Material Take off using Revit application
Tools Used:
* Schedule
* Material Takeoff
Procedure:
Step 1:
