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

ANS-1

AIM:To select the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser and create a layout in the ground floor level.Align the floor plan with grids created from week 2.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• ARCHITECTURE TAB
• FILE MENU
• OPEN
• PROPERTIES PALETTE
• EDIT TYPE
• GRIDS

PROCEDURE:

1-Open revit and click on file menu and open previously saved project file.

2-Then we need to start architectural tab.

3- Select floor option and then choose floor-architectural.

4- Choose pick lines ans select the lines required.

5-Then in property brower select edit type.

6-A dialog box appears there select the type of floor required.

7-click on structure to change the material and thickness .

8-After editing done we can align grids from architectural tab.

RESULT: We have successfully selected the floor with appropriate material and thickness using the property browser and created a layout in the ground floor level and also aligned the floor plan with grids created from week 2.

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.

ANS-2

AIM:To modify the boundary of walls and choose different material and thickness from property browser and check wheather the walls are constrained.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• OPEN
• MODIFY
• COPY
• PASTE
• ALIGNED TO LEVEL
• VIEW
• 3D VIEW

PROCEDURE:

1-Open the previous layout.

2-Select the walls

3-Then click on properties and select on edit type and change the properties of walls in structure and then edit to required type.

4-Now after editing we need to check the wheather the walls constraits are upto level 2 from constraints which is present in properties browser.

Q- 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?

ANS-(a) Acoording to my observation in connecting connected walls to associated walls it makes work easy and if there is change in levels there will automatically change in walls .In connected walls heights of of the walls are same level whereas in unconnected we have to edit them to same level

(b)Both are convenient and easy to go method but I always prefer height over depth .

RESULT:The boundary walls are modified and we choose different material and thickness from property browser and also checked wheather the walls are constrained.

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.

ANS-3

AIM:To copy model elements from ground floor and paste it in to the second floor.

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• OPEN
• MODIFY
• FILE MENU
• COPY
• PASTE
• ALIGNED TO LEVEL
• 3D VIEW

PROCEDURE:

1-Open the previous saved revit project file.

2-Then we need to select the layout and then copy by ctrl+c.

3-There will be clipboard displayed at top

4-Select paste option.

5-Then click on aligned from selected levels in option displayed.

6-Now we have to go view tab and click on 3D view.

RESULT:The required model elements on the ground floor are copied and pasted successfully on the second 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
