TOOLS USED :

• File
• Architecture
• Property browser

PROCEDURE :

• Open revit and click file menu and open the previous project

2) AIM : To add walls based on floor layout and to modify the boundary of walls. To select appropriate material and thickness of walls and to verify top and bottom of the walls are constrained

TOOLS USED :

• Architecture
• walls
• Property browser

PROCEDURE :

• Select a wall from the project
• Go to project browser and choose the required thickness and material

• And apply the required material

• Check the top and bottom constraints and set them to required level

RESULT : Required walls are made using project browser and top constraints are verified

(a) Benefits of connecting walls is that when walls are connected with the constraints ,any changes applied in the height of the building, automaticaly adjusts its height with the building levels. But if walls are unconnected, we have to edit the height of the walls which is time consuming and chance of making mistakes.

(b) According to me, the best way to model walls is by height rather than depth.
