Q1) Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project.

Aim: To set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project.

Procedure:

To create project shared coordinates:
Open architectural tab.
Open Manage tab.
Click on project coordinates and then specific shared coordinates.
In north/south type 0'0".

In east/west type 0'0".
To create project base points:

Select the architectural tab and select grids and draw the grids.
Rename the grids
Select the manage tab and select specify coordinate at point and select one grid and specify as 0'0":
Select the specify coordinate at a point and select another grid and specify 0'0"

Result: the project base point and shared coordinates are created.

Q2) Open another new file but with a structural template. Using the manage tab set project parameters the same as the architectural model. Copy the parameters from the architectural model to the structural template or enter the parameters manually into the structural model.

Aim: to create strcutural template with the same parameters as architectural project template.

Procedure:

Open new file.
Click on structural template.

Go to manage tab project coordinates shared coordinates.

In the north/south type 0'0".
In east/west type 0'0".

Result: The project parameters are created in structural plan.

3) Re-open the architectural model. Using the tools under the Collaborate tab make the architectural model a central model (enabling simultaneous working on the model)

Aim: to create architectural model a central model using collaborate tool.

Procedure:

Open the architectural template file in revit.
Select collaboarte tab and select collaborate.
Two option will appear on the screen.
Select the option within the network and press ok.

Result:the architectural model is made central model using collaborate tool.

Q4) Create the Grids Longitudinal and Transverse pattern for the project similar to the task done in Week 2

Aim: to create grids in longitudnal and transverse pattern.

Procedure:

Open the architectural template file in revit.
Go to architectural tab-datum tab-grids.
Draw the grids in transverse and longitudinal direction according to the plan of the project.
Rename the grids as per standards.

Result: the grids are drawn.

Q5) Synchronize the changes from the local copy to the central file of the architectural model.

Aim: synchronize the changes from local copy to central file of architectural model.

Commands used: Manage and Synchronize tab

Procedure:

Open the file in revit.

Select the manage tab and select synchronize tab and click ok.

The drawing will be be synced with the central file.

Result: the synchronize is done.

Q6) Open the structural model and use the collaborate tools to save the model as a central file.

Aim: to open strcutural model and using the collabortae tools to save the model as a central file.

Procedure:

Open the structural template in the revit.

Select the collaborate tab and select collaborate.

Select the collaborate within your network save it as saving for the first time it will make a central file.

Then synchronize with central and modify.

Result: the model is synchronized.

Q7) Under the Collaborate tab, select the grids and levels from the architectural model, and using Copy Monitor try to copy the grids to the structural model. See what happens when the copy monitored grid is moved around in the structural model.

Aim: using collaborate tab,select grids and levels from the architechural model and copy it to structural model using copy monitor

Commands used: Collaborate.copy monitor select link and copy

Procedure:

Open the architectural tab and select collaborate tab select copy monitor and select link so my structural drawing is linked

Select the grids and levels and select multiple and slelect copy.

Select the finsih command.

Open the structural template file and grids and columns will be found in structural template.

Result

Q8) Create another new file with a construction template. Save the new file as a central model. This file will include both architectural and structural model. Under the manage tab, Click manage links to link both architectural and structural files. Save the file and close all the files

Aim: to create a new file with a construction template which includes both architectural and structural model.

Commands used: manage,manage links

Procedure:

Open the new file and save it as construction template.

Select the collaborate tab and collaborate the file as central file.

Select the manage tab and select manage link.

Select both architectural and structural template and press ok.

Both the file will be opened in the combined one.

RESULT

Q9) Are the grids from structural and architectural model matching in the construction template created? If yes the model is set up for project 2. If not work on the shared parameters and linking options under Manage links

(Hint: origin to origin, by shared coordinates or by project base point to base point) to link the models in an appropriate manner

Aim: insert the grids from structural template to architectural template and check whether it is matching with each other. Command used: manage,manage links.aquire coordinates position relocate position.

Procedure:

Open the architectural template and select manage tab.

In the manage tab select the manage links and select the structural template .

Both the grids will appear in the arch template and it is not coninciding.

Select the arch grid and select acquire coordinates and select the arch template grid.

Select the position icon and click relocate position and select the intersection point of the grids.

The grids will be positioned.

Result: my strcutural and architectural model are coninciding in the construction template created. Therefore my week 6 challenge is set up for project 2.

Q10) List a flow chart of a project tree set up in terms of Construction model, Architecture & Structure model, in this exercise and understand how many people can work on the same project using Revit simultaneously.

For the construction model the project tree is as:

Site access
Logistics and storage
Quality control
Outstanding contract details.
Outstanding design-related challenges
Health and safety

For architectural model

Schematic design
Design Development
Construction Documents
Bidding
Construction Adminintration.

For structural model

The primary objective of structure analysis and design is to produce a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its intended life.If improperly designed elements of a structure would fall causing serious consequences such as large expenses.
Once the architechtural engineer sets the function and layout of the structure, the role of the structural engineer begins which can be Summarized in the following steps to develop a safe functional and economic structures
