Procedure

1. we have drawn a wall of 40’-0” X 35’-0” in the previous question. Click on any side of the wall to get properties of wall

2. click on properties tool of wall

3. Now in the type tool box select any one of the desired wall type

Result : We got our desired wall type

6.

Aim : To 3D view from the view tool bar and save with appropriate name

Tools used : Wall tool,Default 3d view tool

Procedure :

• To create a 3d view, we have to draw a wall of desired dimensions .

• Cliick on view tool bar

• Now click the 3d view tool , then our 2d wall changes into 3d model.

• Now click on save the file,to save the file progress

Result : 3D view is created and saved .

7.

Aim : To navigate the 3D model using view cube

Tools used: View cube

Procedure

• After completion of the drawing of the layout of walls, we need to click on the navigation tool

• Click on orbit and rotate it according to the view required.

Result: navigation through the model is completed.

8.

Aim: Switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options using visibility settings.

Tools used : Visual style tool

Procedure:

• Firstly consider a desired drawing

• Click on the visual style tool, and then we can see a box consisting of wireframe, hidden lines, shaded, colors and realistic.

• As we are required to switch the model from hidden lines to shaded click on the option that we wish to convert.

Result: visibility settings option below to switch model to shaded, realistic, hidden lines options succesfully used.

9.

Result : entering project settings, project name and project issue date using manage tool bar is completed.

11.

Analyse tool bar helps in creating revit models, this tool bar consists of many other options which help in to load combinations, boundary conditions, loads and support system are one among the tools under this analyze tool bar where we get to adjust the model and add additional supports to the present model, it also verifies the analytical and physical model for the consistency. Space seperation, naming and tagging are also the options available assigning the names and numbers to the architectural rooms. Colour fill and energy optimization are the tools which help to know how far the present model is eco friendly.

12.

Links that support revit to link models are

• Link revit
• Link IFC
• Link CAD
• Link tropography
• DWF markup
• Coordination model
• Link PDF
• Link Image

13.

We use "Collaborate Tab" To link up multiple rivet models together i.e if any member among a particular team can have acces to do any change required,which is very useful when a team consists different cader of people working around that is for a steel designer to a Interior design engineer . This helps people there to work with higher accuracy which will increase the efficiency .
