2a)

AIM: To create a layout with walls and floor and modifing them.

TOOLS/COMMANDS REQUIRED:

Architectural template

Wall

Floor

Modify

PROCEDURE:

• Create a architectural template as a project.
• In this we have to select the architectural tool and in that we have to select the wall option to create a layout.
• We have to select the specific wall that we need from the properties section.
• After creating a layout with the rooms included in it we have to select the floor option from the architecture toolbar.
• After selecting the floor we have to include it to tthe layout.
• Now if we want to change the materials and thickness of the floor or a wall we can do it from the properties browser as follows:
• 1. Firstly click on the wall which you want to change the property.
• 2. You will find the wall that you are currently using on the left side.
• 
• 
• 3. Under that you will find the edit type option we should select that.
• 4. Then type properties menu will open then in that we have to select structure.
• 
• 5. In that we will find By Category option in the material column.
• 
• 6. On selecting that we can change the required material and thickness.
• 
• If we actually see cleraly in the 3d view we will see that the floor and the wall get mixed with eachother.
• Now if we want to modify the walls we should use the picklines and set the walls as per the requirment.

RESULT:

The whole layout along with walls and floors has been modified after created by using drawing tools and picklines.

1. a) As per my observation the connecting walls with associated levels add much benefit for over future pupose, if we connect all the walls to the particular level and fix it there if in future we change the level distance then the wall which is connected to that level also will rise or fall to the same level that we change. And by this we will not face any problem in our work that we progress.
2. b) by modelling the walls by heights is very convinient because the heights of walls that we create will be extending upwards. In this type of vision we can understand very clearly as we are habituated to it.

3a)

AIM: To copy and paste the model elements to one level to different levels using modify tab.

TOOLS/COMMANDS REQUIRED:

Architectural template

Wall

Floor

Copy to clipboard

Paste

PROCEDURE:

• Create a architectural Template.
• 
• In that create a simple layout of atleast of 3 - 4 rooms.
• 
• For creating a layout use the generic wall of the required instances, and for creating the interior walls use interior partition wall of required instances.
• After creating the layout we have to check the elevation view.
• In that if the wall are not adjusted to the required levels such as level 1 as ground floor, level 2 as first floor, level 3 as second floor, we can change it in the properties.
• And we have to set all the walls at the same height and in all elevations such as EAST WEST NORTH SOUTH.
• 
• 
• 
• 
• Now we have to include the floor to the designed layout by using architectural tool.
• We have to select the whole layout along with the floor and on the left side of the screen we can see the option of copying the whole to the clip board.
• 
• Now we have to select the first floor in the levels and then we have a option pasting whatever thing that we have copied earlier.
• 
• After pasting then the first floor same as the ground floor has been created.

RESULT:

we have copied model elements from one level to the another level successfully.
