3D Creation of Ceiling, Roof, Architectural plan, Structural plan, Sectional view, Elevation view and Camera specific view for a house plan using REVIT

1) Based on the project saved from Week 3, proceed from the First Floor Level. Model a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level

AIM:

To model a Ceiling from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level.

INTRODUCTION:

The creation of Ceilings within Revit is a very similar process to that of Floors and Roofs- ie you can let Revit do most of the work and "gress" where you want the boundaries to be.Or you can enter Sketch Mode and literally sketch out the boundary of the ceiling yourself.
The main thing to remember is to be in the Connect Ceiling Plan View before you start. Revit will let you place Ceilings in Floor Plan
Views, but I would not advise this as you cannot readily see what you have created.

PROCEDURE

Step:-1

First, we open the Revit software and select the ceiling option from the architecture toolbar.

step 2:

sketch the boundaries by picking planes as shown below.

step 3:

The ceiling of the residential building is created and shown in 3D view.

 

RESULT:

The ceiling has been modeled successfully from the architecture tab above the walls at the first-floor level.

 

2) Model a roof above the ceiling by selecting the footprints of the ceiling. Using the adjustment toolbars appearing on-screen adjust the roof slope to 10 degrees

AIM-

To model a roof above the ceiling by selecting the footprints of the ceiling.

INTRODUCTION:

A roof, covering the top of a building, serves to protect against rain snow, sunlight wind, and extremes of temperature
Roofs have been constructed in a wide variety of forms flat, pitched, vaulted, domed, or in combinations as dictated by technical. economic, or aesthetic considerationsThe earliest roofs constructed by man were probably thatched roofs that were made of straw.
leaves, branches, or reeds; they were usually set at a slope, or pitch, so that rainfall could drain off them.
Conical thatched roofs are a good example of this type and are still widely used in the rural areas of Africa and elsewhere
Thicker branches and timbers eventually came to be used to span a roof, with clay or some other relatively impermeable substance pressed into the interstices between them.
Gabled and flat roofs were possible with these materials. With the invention of brick and cut stone for building, the basic roof form of the dome and vault appeared.

PROCEDURE:

Step:-1

Open the architecture toolbar, and select the Roof by Footprint option as shown in the below figure

step 2:

Now select the footprint roof and change the slope to 10 degrees.

 

 

Step 3:

The roof has been created.

RESULT:

The roof has been created and the slope is adjusted to 10 degrees.

 

3) Using the file saved from weeks 2 to 4, create plan views for the ground-floor level and first-floor level including all the walls, floors, and components. Separate them to
architecture and structural plans

a. Architecture plan must have walls, floors, and all the components placed within the building
b. Structure plan must have details of only walls, floors, and columns

AIM-

To create plan views for the ground-floor level and first-floor level including all the walls, floors, and components, And to Separate them into architecture and structural plans

INTRODUCTION:

The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template. Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types
The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. - Most projects include at least one-floor plan.
Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project.

PROCEDURE

Step:1

First, we draw the architectural pains of the first floor and second floor as shown below.

 

Step 2:

Next, draw the structural plans of the ground floor and the first floor as shown below.

RESULT:

the plan views for the ground floor and the first floor has been created.
both the architectural and structural view is created.

 

4) Using annotate toolbar add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file

a. The architecture plan dimensions include details on where the components are placed within the buildings with relation to grids. Overall dimensions are sufficient for architecture plans

b. The Structure plan dimensions must include details on the position of all the walls and interior walls with reference to grids. Locate all the framing components of the building with reference to a fixed point using Structural plans

AIM:-

To add dimensions to all the walls and floors with reference to the longitudinal and transverse grids created in the project file

INTRODUCTION:

The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.
Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types.
The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. Most projects include at least one floor plan.
Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project.

PROCEDURE:

Step:-1

Here we draw the longitudinal and transverse grids to the architectural floor plans as shown below.
And add the dimensions to the architectural plans as shown below.

 

STEP 2:

In structural plan draw the grids and mark the dimensions
repeat it for both the levels.

RESULT:

The dimensions are added to both the structural and architectural plans.

 

5) Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views

AIM

Create a sheet template from the view tab and adjust the parameters on the sheet to add appropriate views.

INTRODUCTION-

Create views on a project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process.
When creating a project template you can include sheets in the template Start with a blank project file and create the standard views and levels that each project should include
Leave the views empty but assign standard names to them. To create a standard set of construction documents, create sheets using the desired title blocks
Add views to the sheets, using the desired viewport templates and view title types
Then save the empty project as a project template.
When you create a project using this project template, all of the views and sheets are already created and listed in the Project Browser
As you start to draw the building model in the project views, the views on the sheets update automatically.
This technique streamlines the project documentation process and maintains organizational standards.

PROCEDURE

Step:-1

First, we click on the sheet option from the view toolbar, as shown below.
After clicking the sheet. The new tab will be visible on the screen.
in that new tab, we select the Al metric, then the sheet template will be displayed.

 

Step2:

In the sheet template, we insert the ground-floor plan and the First floor of the building separately.
Next, edit the project name and the sheet number as shown below.

 

RESULT:

The sheet template is created from the view tab and adjusted the parameters on the sheet are for adding appropriate views

 

6) Using the elevation tab create the elevation views, looking at your building from East, North, South, and West

AIM-

To create the elevation views, look at your building from East, North, South, and West using the elevation tab

INTRODUCTION:

An elevation is a view of a building seen from one side, a flat representation of one view.
This is the most common view used to describe the external appearance of a building.
Each elevation is labeled in relation to the compass direction it faces. For e.g. looking toward the north you would be seeing the southern elevation of the building.

PROCEDURE

Step:-1

First, we click on the elevation option from the view toolbar, as shown below.

Step 2:

Next, the elevation of the east is visible as shown below.

Step 3:

The elevation view of the west is given below.

Step 4:

The elevation view of the north is given below.

Step 5:

The elevation view of the south is given below.

RESULT:

All the elevation views from each direction are shown.

7) Produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction

AIM:-

To produce a section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction.

INTRODUCTION:

Sectional views reveal hidden details in a mechanical drawing.
These views assume that a cutting plane has removed portions of the object represented by the drawing, displaying the appropriate section of the interior.
Sectional views are used in engineering and architectural drawings
They help civil engineers, architects, and airplane designers communicate their ideas to their peers.

PROCEDURE

Step:-1

First, we click on the section option from the view toolbar, as shown below.
Next, we produce the section view of the Master bedroom as shown in the below figure.

Step 2:

The section view of the toilet is given.

Step 3:

The section view of the guest room is given.

Step 4:

The section view of the living room is created and given.

RESULT:

All the section views of each room are created.

 

8) Classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using the Properties browser

AIM:-

To classify the views, Plan Views, Section Views, and Elevation views to either Design or Documentation category using the Properties browser

INTRODUCTION:

The structural plan view is the default view when you start a new project using a structural template.
Most projects include at least one structural plan. New structural plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. You can create multiple structural plan view types:
The floor plan view is the default view in a new architectural project. Most projects include at least one-floor plan.
Floor plan views are created automatically as you add new levels to your project. • Sectional views reveal hidden details in a mechanical drawing
These views assume that a cutting plane has removed portions of the object represented by the drawing, displaying the appropriate section of the interior.
Sectional views are used in engineering and architectural drawings
They help civil engineers, architects, and airplane designers communicate their ideas to their peers.

Each elevation is labeled in relation to the compass direction it faces, eg. looking toward the north you would be seeing the southern elevation of the building.

PROCEDURE

Step:1

First, we open the project browser, the views, Plari Views, Section Views, and Elevation views are visible in that project browser as shown below.
Next, we insert these plans one by one in the sheets separately.

step 2:

Insert the front elevation in the sheet template

step 3:

Insert the right-side elevation of the building.

Step 4:

Insert the left-side elevation of the building.

Step 5:

Insert the back elevation of the building.

Step 6:

Insert the plan of both the ground-floor and first-floor plan in the template

 

Step 7:

Insert the sectional views of the building in the title blocks.

RESULT:

All the views, plan views, elevation views, and sectional views are inserted and classified into Design category using property browser.

 

9) Using the sheet template produced create multiple sheets as follows
a. A 101- Ground Floor Architecture Plan
b. A 102- First Floor Architecture Plan
c. A 103- Roof Plan
d. S 101- Ground Floor Structural Plan
e. S 102- First Floor Structural Plan
f. S 103- Roof Framing Plan
g. A-201- North-South Elevations
h. A-202- East-West Elevations

Add additional sheets based on the sections created in your Revit file

AIM:

To create the multiple sheets and produce the drawings in the sheets, from the given drawing list.

INTRODUCTION:

Create views on a project template before you start building the model to streamline the project documentation process.
When creating a project template, you can include sheets in the template. Start with a blank project file, and create the standard views and levels that each project should include.
Leave the views empty, but assign standard names to them. To create a standard set of construction documents, create sheets using the desired title blocks
Add views to the sheets, using the desired viewport templates and view title types.
Then save the empty project as a project template.
When you create a project using this project template, all of the views and sheets are already created and listed in the Project Browser
As you start to draw the building model in the project views, the views on the sheets update automatically. This technique streamlines the project documentation process and maintains organizational standards.

PROCEDURE

Step:-1

First, we produce the Ground floor architectural plan in the sheet template A-101. as shown in the below figure.

Step 2:

The first floor of the architectural plan is created in the template A-102 sheet.

Step 3:

The Roof plan is created in the sheet A-103

Step 4:

The ground floor structural plan is created in sheet S 101.

 

Step 5:

The first-floor structural plan is created in sheet S102.

Step 6:

The roof framing plan is inserted in sheet S 103.

Step 7:

The north-south elevation views are inserted in the sheet A-201.

step 8:

The East-West elevation views of the building are inserted in sheet A-202

RESULT:

Thus multiple sheets are created and produced the drawing sheets as per the requirement successfully.

 

10) Create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in each room ( living, dining, bedroom). Based on the views create a new set of sheets starting A-501 (you can add as many sheets after, 502, 503.. n)to place the 3D view images. Produce the sheets as a part of project drafting.

AIM:-

To create a camera-specific view or a 3D view in the living room, dining room, and bedroom in the sheets separately.

INTRODUCTION:

Camera Views are really useful in Revit.
They allow us to view what we would actually see if we were standing at any given location in our design
This can be invaluable for both understanding and communicating the nature of space before we go to the expensive lengths of actually constructing it for real

PROCEDURE:

Step: 1

First, we take the sheet and name it A-501.
Next, go to the floor plan and place the camera in the Bedroom, and the camera view of the bedroom will be shown below.

Step 2:

Create a sheet and name it A-502.
Go to the floor plan and place the camera in the dining room
the created view is presented in sheet A-502

Step 3:

Create a sheet and name it A-503.
Go to the floor plan and place the camera in the living room
the created view is presented in sheet A-503

RESULT:

The created camera views are presented in the sheets separately successfully.
