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 SELECT FLOOR WITH APPROPRIATE MATERIAL AND THICKNESS USING THE PROPERTY BROWSER AND TO ALIGN THE FLOOR PLAN WITH GRIDS

TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:

• Properties browser
• Floor tool
• Archirtecture
• Open
• Grid
• Edit

PROCEDURE:

STEP-1:Open REVIT software and click on open project then choose the required project I.E,week 2 saved project and open the file

STEP-2: A layout of is opened on the screen now go to archietectural bar

STEP-3:Now choose floor tab and click on floor architecture to add the floor into layout

STEP-4:After selecting floor architecture select pick lines to select the boundary of the layout to which floor to be added

STEP-5: Now click on the boundary of the wall to add floor to layout by using pick lines toolbar

STEP-6:After selecting all boundaries of the layout click on FINISH EDIT MODE to change the layout

STEP-7:After clicking then the layout will be visible in this way

STEP-8:now go to floor properties and choose the required floor and thickness to be added to the layout by clicking edit option (one can create duplicate thickness of floor material) and click on apply ond press ok

step-9: the required floor is obtained

STEP-10:3D View of the layout is visible by clicking 3D default view by chosing 3Dview option from view tab

STEP-11:To Align grids to floor layout select the archietectural tab and select grid option

STEP-12: draw the longitudinal and traverse grid lines to the floor layout and name them as A,B,C,D,E ETC FOR TRAVERSE G rid and 1,2,3,4,5 etc for LOngitudinal grid

STEP-13:now view the layout in 3d view

RESULT: Floor material and thickness is added to the layout and grids are alligned to floor layout and the layout is viewed in 3D view successfully

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.

AIM:TO ADD WALLS BASED ON FLOOR LAYOUT AND TO MAKE USE OF DRAW TOOL AND PROPERTY BROWSER TO MODIFY BOUNDARY OF WAL AND TO SELECT APPROPRIATE THICKNESS AND MATERIAL OF WALL AND TO VERIFY THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF WALLS ARE CONSTRAINED OR NOT BY USING OF PROPERTY BROWSER

TOOLS/ COMMANDS USED:

• Properties browser
• Archietectural tool bar
• Edit
• Constrained
• Wall Archietectural
• 3 D view
• Partition interior wall

PROCEDURE:

STEP-1:Open the revit software and open the previously created layout of 60'x40'

STEP-2:Now go to architectural tab and click on wall tab and select archietectural wall bar

STEP-3:Now go to properties browser to set the type of wall and wall thickness .now select the interior wall type of required thickness

STEP-4:after clicking on interior -5'' partition one can make neccessary chnages by choosing edit option I.E to change the thickness of the wall and create a duplicate file of necceesary wall thickness by selecting dupliacte option

STEP-5: After selecting duplicate file a dialog box appears and make neccessary changes and click on ok

STEP-6:after creating duplicate file click on apply and choose ok

STEP-7:Now the required wall thickness is created and and now draw partion wall in required place in the layout

STEP-8:Now View the layout in 3D view by selecting view tab and choosing 3D view default option

STEP-9: 3 D view is obtained and one can see the view in different view I.E realistic , shaded etc

STEP-10:Now select the boundary wall then go to properties browser and select the required wall material i.e concrete light weight etc and click ok and select apply and chose ok

STEP-11:wall material and thickness are changed to concrete light weight material

STEP-12: now select any boundary wall and Now go to properties browser and select top constraint and chose upto level-2 so the boundary wall will change the thickness of level-2 and do the same with remaining boundary wall

STEP-13:now the boundary walls and interior walls are constained

RESULT: The walls are cretaed in floor layout and wall thickness material are changed to required material by properties browser and levels are constrained by properties browser

a). Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected

ANS) Based on my observation, if heights of levels were modified then correspondily height of connected wall changes automatically this is benefits of connectind wall with asscociated levels

b.) Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?

ANS)Height is more convenient option for modelling walls rather than depth

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 TO GROUND FLOOR LEVEL AND PASTE IT ALLIGNED TO FIRST FLOOR LEVEL AND USE MODIFY TAB TO UTILIZE COPY AND PASTE OPTIONS

TOOLS AND COMMANDS USED:

• Alligned
• Ground floor level
• Modify tab
• 3D View

PROCEDURE:

STEP-1:Open revit software and open previously created file

STEP-2:Now change the level 1 name to Groundfloorlevel so go to properties browser and double click on level-1 then change the level name to GROUNDFLOORLEVEL

STEP-3:After changing name a dialog box appears then click on yes so that the name changes to GROUND floor level

STEP-4:Now the level 1 is renamed to GROUND FLOOR LEVEL

STEP-5:Now select the whole layout (or select modify tab) and and click on copy to clipboard option to copy the layout

STEP-6:now the layout is copied to clipboard now click on the paste option ,and select alligned to select levels options

STEP-7:now click on that then a dialog box appears that with ground floor level and level-2 select level -2 option to copy the entire layout to level -2

STEP-8: Now click ok then the entire layout is created on level -2 also

STEP-9: Now to see the layout is pasted in level-2 then view the layout in 3D view

STEP-10:The layout is created in level 2

RESULT:The first floor level is created successfully by using copy and paste allign option and layout is viewed in 3 d view successfully

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 CREATE SEPERATE ROOM FOR LAYOUT BY USING INTERIOR PARTITION WALLS

TOOLS/COMMANDS USED:
