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 for the following

a. Walls
b. Doors
c. Windows
d. Material – Concrete/Wood

TOOLS USED :

• View
• Schedule
• Schedule properties

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit and open architectural model
• Go to view command and click on schedule quantities

• Choose the components like walls, doors, columns etc.

• Select the required schedule fields to display

• Click ok

RESULT : Schedules are prepared for given components

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.

Ans.

AIM : To calculate area and volume of each room using revit and to prepare a schedule report for area and volume of each room

TOOLS USED :

• View
• Area
• Volume
• Schedule

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit and open architectural model file
• Go to view command and click on schedule
• In the pop up, select rooms

• Select the parameters such as area, volume

• Click ok and a schedule is prepared

RESULT : Area and volume of each room are calculated and a schedule is prepared for area and volume of each room

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

Ans.

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

TOOLS USED :

• View
• Schedule
• Material takeoff

PROCEDURE :

• Open architectural model file in revit
• Go to view tab and click on schedule
• Choose material takeoff

• Specify the name and click ok

• Choose the required parameters
• 
• Select total cost and select calculated and define formula for total cost

RESULT : Total cost of materials are prepared

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

Ans.

1. Framing structure of the project is as follows :-

b.Flow chart for pipes is as follows :-

c.Flowchart for request for money from client for the project :-

6) List the parameters associated with each model element
a. Wall
b. Floor
c. Door
d. Window
e. Table
f. Building

Ans. Parameters associated with each model element

1. Wall - {Length, Width, Height, Materials used, Thickness, Cost, Type of wall}
2. Floor - {Length, Width, Type of floor, Area, Volume, Thickness, Cost}
3. Door - {Length, Width, Materials, Type of door, Height of lintel, Thickness, Height of sill}
4. Window - {Length, Width, Materials, Type of window, Height of lintel, Thickness, Height of sill}
5. Table - {Material, Purpose of table, Length, Height, Width}
6. Building - {Type of building, no. of floors, Height, Width, Area, Location, Loads applied, Materials}
