REVIT_Usage of Elements & Properties_Week 3
1) Use the project file created from Week 2. Use it for this assignment. Based on your layout from week 2, using floor tool under architecture tab and select the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser create a layout in the Ground floor Level. Align the floor plan with grids created from week 2
AIM: to use floor tool under architecture tab and select the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser
TOOLS REQUIRED: 1) Architectural command 2) floor command 3) propert browser
PROCEDURE:
1) open the revit file of week 2 and select the architectural command
2) select the floor command
3) select the floor finish and edt such as thickness and materials.
RESULT: floor tool under architecture tab is used and the floor is selected with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser
2) Add walls based on the floor layout. Pick lines or use the draw tool to modify the boundary of walls. Use the property browser to select appropriate material and thickness for walls. After creating the walls verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.
a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
AIM: to add walls based on the floor layout and to modify the boundary walls and to use the property browser to selecgt appropriate material and thickness for walls.
TOOLS REQUIRED: 1) architectural 2) walls 3) property browser
PROCEDURE:
1) open the file used for week 2
2) select the walls in architectural command
3) select the type of wall like material and thickness for walls in the property browser.
4) check whether the top and bottom of the walls are constrained using the property browser.
RESULT: Walls are added based on the floor layout and modified by selecting the appropriate material and thickness.
Based on my observation, benifits of connectu=ing walls is when walls are connected, any changes in the height of the building in either 3D or 2D view automatically adjusts its heightt with the building levels. if the walls are unconnected then we have to individually edit the heights of the walls which takes more time and more errors.
According to me, the best way to model walls is by height.
3) Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level . Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align
elements to a different level
AIM: To copy the model elements and paste it aligned to first floor level.
TOOLS REQUIRED: 1) copy 2) paste 3) modify 4) aligned
PROCEDURE:
1) open the revit file
2) select the model and copy the model by using the copy icon in the modify tab.
3) paste the copied model by selecting the paste icon in the same modify menu.
4) while pasting the model, select the align to selected levels in the drop down menu of paste option.
RESULT: The model elements are copied and pasted it aligned to first floor.
4) Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit. The model must include the following rooms
a. Living Room/ Drawing Room ( 15’ X 18’)
b. Dining Room (9’ X 11’)
c. Bed Room ( 9’ X 12’ and 15’ X 11’)
d. Rest Room ( 10’ X 12’ )
e. Kitchen (8’ X 10’)
The above are for examples. You can use them or use your measured entities to create your model based on your layout. You may include entry walkway, Patios or Guest
rooms based on your creativity and purpose of modeling. Convert units if you are using metric system
AIM: To use interior partition walls to create seperate rooms within my residential unit.
TOOLS REQUIRED: 1) Architectural command 2) walls 3) interior partion walls
PROCEDURE :
1) Open the revit file
2) Select the architecture command and select the walls to draw a layout
3) select the interior partition wall in tha property tab with specific thickness
4) go to the 3D view to see the changes.
RESULT: interior partion walls are used
5) Based on week 2 assignment, the components to be included in a residential unit were inserted to the Revit file. Place these components in appropriate locations to add details to your residential model
a. Place Doors and windows in the wall at appropriate locations
b. The Living Room must include furniture set, couch table and TV desk and shelf cabinets
c. The Dining Room must include a table and chairs serving the purpose of eating
d. Bed Room must include a bed set, shelf, lighting and individual study desk and chair
e. Rest room should include bath tub and plumbing fixtures discussed in class
f. Kitchen should include countertops, gas stove cabinet and shelves to store food items
g. The wash/storage room can include washing machines and shelves to store clothes
All the components are available in Revit Library. Use them to place at appropriate locations to add details to your model. Use 3D navigation to check the model and its authenticity on a real time basis to verify the model
AIM: To insert the components in the week 2 assignment
TOOLS REQUIRED: 1) architectural 2) load family 3) components
PROCEDURE:
1) Open the revit file
2) select the insert option and load familiy
3) select the required components such as furniture. lights, beds etc from the family and place at the required space.
4) select the camera option from the 3D view and place it in front of all the rooms so as to get the components in 3D view.
RESULT: the components are placed succesfully.
