STEP-4: 

  • Similarly do the same on the others side.

 

RESULT: 

  • The dimension are done using annotate toolbar using aligned options.

 

    

 5).  Use the properties browser to switch to different wall types. 

AIM:

  • To Use the properties browser to switch to different wall types. 

PROCEDURE:

  • Go to Properties browser(PP)and Project browser(right click – browser- project browser)
  • Select the wall tool in the top of icon, 
  • then it has a many option soft wall types like curtain wall, masonry wall, basic wall.
  • we use the wall one by one.
  • Select the required the wall height and width.

 

RESULT:

  • With the use of property browser, the wall type has been changed.

 

 

 6) Create a 3D view from the view toolbar and save the view with the appropriate name 

AIM:

  • To Create a 3D view from the view toolbar and save the view with the appropriate name.

PROCEDURE:

Step-1:

  • Press the view bar on the view cube on the right sided of the workspace.

Step-2:

  • Open the 3d view .

Step- 3:

  • Click on the view template and click on create template from current view.

Step -4:

  • Then the view dialogue box, insert the name as 3d view and click ok.

Step -5:

  • The view will be created and we can take the view from  apply template properly to current view.

 

RESULT:

  • The 3d view is created by and saved it by name 3d view. 

 

 

 

 

7).

 AIM:

  • To Navigate through the 3D model using the view cube. Orbit/pan through the model layout created

PROCEDURE:

Step1: 

  • Press the view bar on the view cube on the right sided of the workspace.

Step 2:

  • And click the different views.

Step3:

  • To pan, click on the navigation wheel below the view cube.

11). What is the Analyze toolbar used in Revit? How it is beneficial for design and modeling.  

Aim: 

  • To Analyze toolbar in Revit and its benefits. 

PROCEDURE:

  • Analyze toolbar in Rivet helps in evaluating the building performance - analyzing the model by boundary conditions, loads etc.,
  • It evaluates the sustainability of the model. 
  • BENEFITS OF ANALYZE THE TOOL FOR DESIGN AND MODELLING:
  • STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 

     Boundary condition:

  • We can give the line and area boundary conditions to the model.

     Loads :

  • We can apply point, line and area load to the model. 

     Load cases:

  • We can add and edit the load cases.

     Load combinations:

  • To add load combinations.

It also help to perform energy optimization and energy analysis.

For energy analysis it has features.

  • HEATING AND COOLING LOADS ANALYSIS:
    • To create heating and cooling load analysis report, useful for mechanical enigeers for ventilations ducts or heating and cooling systems.
    • Rivet allows to perform analysis in multiple disciplines, so when collabrating in every discipline they can perform their own task seperately and come together as a team to show progress.
    • we can achieve the progress of project together from all discipline.

 

12). What are the links that Revit supports to be linked to the model?   

AIM:

  • TO LINKS in Revit. 

PROCEDURE:

  • In insert tab links are found. It is used to link different files to the file current file. 

LINK REVIT:

  • It allows to link another rivet model to the current model.  

LINK IFC:

  • To link ifc file to current model to reference its information for additional design works. 

LINK Cad:

  • To link the 2d cad file to current rivet file to create 3d by rivet tools. 

LINK TOPOGRAPHY:

  • To link to the current model. 

MANAGE LINKS:

  • Provides features to manage the links to the building models.

 

13) Why do you need the Collaborate tab in Revit? How it supports modeling and its efficiency?

 

  • It is the features which help to collaborate and help the team members to work on the model simultaneously.
  • In modelling it helps the team members of different disciplines to work on the same file simultaneously.
  • The efficiency of the modeling will be high, as the work can be finished faster.
  • We do not have to wait for one model to be completed to start the model of next discipline.
