Creating Architectural and Structural models with 3D rendering using REVIT
AIM -
TO STUDY THE USAGE OF COLLABORATION TOOLS IN REVIT
INTRODUCTION -
Autodesk Revit is a building information modeling software tool for architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers, and contractors. The original software was developed by Charles River Software, founded in 1997, renamed Revit Technology Corporation in 2000, and acquired by Autodesk in 2002. The software allows users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements, and access building information from the building model's database. Revit is 4D building information modeling capable with tools to plan and track various stages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to construction and later maintenance and/or demolition
Autodesk Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) tool, which can be used by more than one person working on a new project. This is an important feature in collaboration within a project, between projects, and with other users, firms, and disciplines.
Collaboration Tools guide is to enable students, who have a basic knowledge of Autodesk Revit, to increase their productivity while working with other people on a team, either in the same firm or other firms as well as with other disciplines. It also covers linking Autodesk Revit files and linking or importing other CAD files. Practices are available for each of the primary disciplines covered by Autodesk Revit: architecture, MEP, and structure.
TASK 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
I CHOOSE A OFFICE BUILDING FOR THIS PROJECT
TASK 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
The office building is planned to be constructed in DELHI.
Modeling requirements as per NBC
Since my building is an office building.
The open space around the building shall not be less than 4.5m.
Considering the type of construction as type 2 construction, the FAR value for the business building shall be taken as 2.9. The plot size is taken as 53mx52m i.e, 2750m2 and the individual floor area is 1700m2. Hence, the FAR value obtained is 2.14 which is within the prescribed limits as per NBC.
The width of the road abutting the building is taken as 30'.
The maximum height of the building shall not exceed 1.5 times the width of the road abutting plus the front open space.
The building will consist of 7 floors each floor having a floor height of 15'. Hence, the entire floor height will be 90', which is within the limits prescribed by NBC.
TASK 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

TASK 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
TASK 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
PROCEDURE -
FLOOR PLAN
FIRST TO SEVENTH LEVEL PLAN
EAST ELEVATION
WEST ELEVATION
NORTH ELEVATION
SOUTH ELEVATION
SECTION 1 - 1'
SECTION 2 - 2'
SECTION 3 - 3'
SECTION 4 - 4'
TASK 6) Using the Rendering settings, Render images of the 3D model produced and include the rendered images in the drawing sheets
a. Rendering from interior rooms
b. Rendering from out showing topographic features
c. Rendering through structural framing
PROCEDURE -

RESULT -
TASK 7) Print the set of drawing sheets created and submit the drawings from the architecture and structure model
The different drawing templates can be printed. This can be done by going to the file menu in the top left corner of the Revit window and in that choose to print, then this window appears.
