Week 3 Challenge

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

1ans)

AIM:-Using floor tool under the architectural 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.

NOTE:-SINCE MY WEEK 2 PROJECT HAS BEEN DELETED , CREATED A NEW LAYOUT.

Tools used:-

floor

pick lines

properties browser

Procedure:-

STEP 1:-select the floor options from architecture tab and select pick lines from modify

step 2:-Now select all the boundaries of the wall and click the tick mark

Steo 3:-Now select the materiallayout and select edit type a pop up will appear , now select the desired texture and apply it to the walls

Step 4:-Now we will get the deired floor with desired thickness and texture

Result:-Floor with desired thickness and texture is added

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.

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

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

2nd ans)

Aim:-To verify if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained after selecting appropriate material and thickness for walls.

Tools used:-

wall

properties browser

Procedure:-

Step 1:-As the walls have already been done with the help of walls from architectural tab , select the walls and change properties using properties browser

Step 2:-Now open the 3d view to see the change in thickness

Step 3:-Now select the wall and check the top constraints and level it

a)It is benefecial as walls stay connected to the level and we need not change the walls height

b)I find it convienent for modelling wall by height

Result:-Checked the height constraints and also changed the thickness of walls

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

3rd ans)

Aim:-To copy the model elemts from ground floor and paste it in the second floor.

Tools used:-

modify tab

copy to clipboard

paste

Procedure:-

Step 1:-select the layout completely from the ground floor

Step 2:-Now using the modify tab copy the layout to the clipboard

Step 3:-Now add a new level of desired height a

Step 4:-Now paste the layout using paste from modify in the new level

Result:-The layout has been pasted in the second floor

4) Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit. The model must include the following rooms

1. Living Room/ Drawing Room ( 15’ X 18’)
2. Dining Room (9’ X 11’)
3. Bed Room ( 9’ X 12’ and 15’ X 11’)
4. Rest Room ( 10’ X 12’ )
5. 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

4th ans)

Aim:-To use interior partiton walls to create seperate rooms within the residential unit

Tools used:-

Wall

Property browser

Procedure:-

NOTE:-THE INTERIOR WALL HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDED BEFORE SO WILL BE EXPLAINING THE PROCESS

Step 1:-From the architecture tab use the walls option

Step 2:-Now with the help of properties browser we can select the interior walls of desired thickness and add them in the layout

Result:-Walls and rooms are made

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

1. Place Doors and windows in the wall at appropriate locations
2. The Living Room must include furniture set, couch table and TV desk and shelf cabinets
3. The Dining Room must include a table and chairs serving the purpose of eating
4. Bed Room must include a bed set, shelf, lighting and individual study desk and chair
5. Rest room should include bath tub and plumbing fixtures discussed in class
6. Kitchen should include countertops, gas stove cabinet and shelves to store food items
7. 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 mode

5th ans)

Aim:-To add required elements in locations in the layout

Tools used:-

insert

load family

component

property browser

Procedure:-

Step 1:-From insert tab select load family and select the desired elemets

Step 2:-Now to add component use component option from architecture tab

Result:-The components have been added
