1. Select the type of structure you want to build from one of the three below:
        a. Multi-Unit Residential Apartment
        b. Office Buildings
        c. School

Solution:- I have selected to design an office building

2. Assume reasonable assumptions for geographic and location details for your project modeling. Based on assumptions and type of structure selected identify the modeling requirements from NBC

Solution:- The assumed geographical location for my project is Itanagar

The modelling requirements for buildings as per NBC 2005 given below:-

3.  Using the structural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
        a. Foundation – Isolated / Wall/Matt Foundation
        b. Columns
        c. Beams Connected to Columns
        d. Roof Framing/ Truss
        e. Floor / Decks
        f. Floor Openings for Elevators and Stairs

Aim:- To create the structural model of the office building

Introduction:- Structural model of the office building is going to be explained with step by step procedure

Procedure:-

  • Open Revit 2022 software
  • Click on new under the models option
  • Click new project
  • Select Structural template

  • Click on file tab
  • Save new file as Building Concrete- Structural

  • Click grids and levels for the project

 

 

 

  • Go to project browser>Structural plans> Foundation
  • Structural tab> Foundatioions> Isolated
  • Select at grids option
  • Click on finish option

 

  • To add columns, go to project browser> structural plan> ground floor
  • Select the type and size of the column
  • Select at grid option
  • Select all the grids
  • Click on finish

  • Similarly select the columns at selected different levels (i.e. first floor plan and second floor plan)
  • To add beams go to project browser> structural plan> ground floor
  • Select the type and size of the column
  • Select at grid option
  • Select all the grids. Click on finish

  • Similarly  select the beams at different selected levels (first floor plan and second floor plan)
  • Similarly draw  the floor at different floor levels (i.e. ground floor, first floor and second floor)
  • Similarly create the floor openings by using shaft option for all selected levels (Architecture> opening option> shaft)
  • Collaborate and save the model as a central file

 

RESULT:- Structural model of the office building has been created

4. Using the architectural model, include the following components based on the type of structure selected
        a. Wall Layout with appropriate material and finishing
        b. Exterior façade with fancy finish
        c. Interior partition walls to size rooms
        d. Components to add details to a room ( Desk, Chair, Lighting, Plumbing fixtures)
        e. Add components such as stairs Elevators
        f. Have at-least one side of the building with curtain walls and glass panels
        g. Include interior and exterior lighting fixtures
        h. Place proper topographic components from outside ( Trees, Parking, Plants) to add details to the model

AIM:- To create the architectural model of the office building

INTRODUCTION:- Architectural model of the office building is going to be explained with step by step procedure

PROCEDURE:- 

  • Open REVIT 2022 software
  • Click on new under the model options
  • Create Architectural template 

  • Save file as Building concrete- Architectural

  • Go to manage> manage links. Click on add in the manage links
  • Select the office building> Structural open

  • Click Ok
  • Go to collaborate> Copy/Monitor> Select links
  • Select the link of the model file
  • Select the copy option 
  • Selecct the entire model
  • Click finish
  • Go to Insert> Revit links. Hide visibility of the linked structural model.

  • To get the floor plan levels, select floor plan from architectural plan. 
  • Select all the levels and click OK

  • Go to project browser select ceiling plans > Second floor
  • Go to Architecture> Ceiling > Sketch ceiling
  • Select the pick line option from the draw line
  • Select the outer edges
  • Click on the finish option. In this way the ceiling has been created
  • Staircase has been created by providing suitable number of risers and threads

 

  • Roof has been created by selecting option roof by extrusion (Architecture> Roof > Roof by extrusion) with suitable slope angle 12 degree

  • External walls are been created by providing external wall width 8"
  • Internal walls are been created by providing internal wall width 4.5"

 

  • Curtains walls are been provided at suitable location
  • Other components are been added to the building such as furniture, plumbing fixtures etc by using load family options and inserted it into the architectural model

RESULT:-  Architectural model of the office building has been created

 

 

5.  Provide a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model to list the following details with categories and appropriate sheet templates included
        a. Floor Plans with Annotations
        b. Elevations
        c. Sections

AIM:- To produce a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model with the use of REVIT 2022

INTRODUCTION:- The procedure to produce a set of drawings in an architectural and structural model is being explained with step by step procedure

PROCEDURE:- 

  • Open REVIT 2022 software
  • Click and open previously saved file
  • Go to project browser> floor plan > Ground floor
  • Go to view> section
  • Draw the transverse and longitudinal line of the section

  • Go to view> sheet
  • Select the proper sheet with suitable sheet number

a) Floor plans with annotations
