BCLP-057- Revit - Beginner Workflows for Architecture

Start a New Project

§? Use these workflows to get started with a new project.

Use a project template.

§? Project templates provide initial settings to streamline project setup and implement standards.

Link multiple projects.

§? Link models together, for example, to specify the relative locations of individual buildings on a campus.

§? Or link models to coordinate efforts across disciplines (architectural, structural, and engineering).

Work in a team.

§? After the initial design phase, can set up work-sharing so that multiple team members can work on the project at the same time.

Set Up the Project

§? Create a project in Revit and enter project-specific information.

Create the project.

§? Use a project template provided by CAD/BIM manager or use a default template.

Specify project information.

§? Enter the client name, project name, number, and address.

Define positioning.

§? To provide context for the model, specify the geographic location and define True North, the survey point, and the project base point.

Create construction phases.

§? By default, Revit defines an Existing phase and a new phase. It also indicates the demolition of existing construction. If need additional project phases, create them.

Create the Site Plan

§? The site plan provides context for the building model.

Define site settings.

§? Define contour line intervals, select section cut material, and specify the poche depth for topography elements.

Create the toposurface.

§? In a site plan or a 3D view, create a topographical surface by picking points, importing 3D data, or importing a points file.

Rotate the project to True North.

§? To provide the proper context for the building in relation to the building lot, specify True North in relation to Project North.

Specify property lines.

§? To provide the proper context for the building in relation to the building lot, specify True North in relation to Project North.

Add a building pad.

§? In the site plan, add a building pad to the toposurface. Then modify the structure and depth of the pad.

Grade the toposurface.

§? Grade the model's toposurface, indicating changes to existing contours.

Create parking lots, roads, and sidewalks.

§? Define existing roads and other site elements with toposurface sub-regions. Add placeholders for parking lots, service roads, and sidewalks. can refine these elements of the site design later.

Add site components.

§? Add trees, fire hydrants and other site components.

Build the Model

§? Start with the general building components (walls, floors, roofs). Then slowly refine the design, adding more detailed components (stairs, rooms, furniture) as? proceed.

Design the Preliminary Layout

§? Establish the larger context of the building model by starting with a massing study or an existing design and defining levels and grids.

Create a Conceptual Design

§? To explore design ideas for the initial shape of a building, can use the conceptual design environment.

Add Levels and Grids

§? Levels and grids are finite planes that help to define project context.

Use DWG and Image Files

§? When creating the preliminary layout, can use existing DWG files or raster image files as underlays on which to sketch design.

Add Basic Building Elements

§? Place generic elements in the building model to plan the layout. can assign specific element types later when refine the design.

View the Model

§? Create different views of the building model, such as sections, elevations, and 3D views. When change the building model in one view, Revit propagates those changes throughout the project.

Add More Elements to the Model

§? After creating the preliminary layout, add more details to the building model to further develop the design.

Stairs and Railings

§? Create simple or complex stairs and railings in the building model.

Rooms and Areas

§? Use rooms, areas, and color schemes to plan occupancy and usage of a building.

Components

§? Add components such as furniture, casework, and plumbing fixtures to the building model.

Refine/Replace Components

§? With the basic design established, can now refine the building model to specify different element types, build curtain walls, and create other details.

Manage the Relationships of Elements

§? Apply constraints to ensure that the building model maintains relationships among elements.

Collaborate with Others

§? Revit provides several ways to share project work or information with other team members. The point at which to perform these tasks will vary by project and by organization.

Add Team Members to the Project

§? If plan to divide the design work among multiple team members, use the Revit work-sharing feature after creating the basic design.

Break Up the Model

§? When enable work-sharing, can break up the building model into worksets. In addition to the default worksets, can create more worksets based on functional areas, such as interior, exterior, and site.

Work on Part of the Project

§? The following is the typical sequence of tasks for each team member working on the project.

Share the Model

§? Set up a model so that can share relevant model information with engineers in multiple disciplines.

Issue the Design to Consultants

§? When consultants review or work on parts of a design, use the following options to share the project electronically.

Document the Model

§? Prepare the construction documents that builders and engineers use.

Create Drawings of the Model

§? To share design information with builders and engineers, can produce detailed drawings from the building model, or create a drafted drawing to show specific details.

Create View References

§? Create elevations, sections, and callouts to provide design details about the building model.

Adjust the Graphics in a Drawing

§? Change the appearance of a drawing to help communicate design details.

Plan the Sheet Layout

Annotate the Drawings

§? Add dimensions, text, and tags to provide detailed information.

Create Schedules

§? Create schedules, Doors, windows and room finishes? to determine quantities and estimate costs.

Add Details

§? Add detail lines and components from a detail library. Add keynotes to identify equipment and materials required.

Add Detail Lines and Components

§? can sketch detail lines or insert detail components from a library.

Create Drafted Details

§? To draft details that are not based on the building information model, use a drafting view.

Use a Detail Library

§? If organization has an existing detail library, can re-use these details in Revit drafting views.

Add Keynotes

§? Use keynotes to provide information about building details.

Refine Sheets

§? After creating sheets with drawings, refine the appearance of the sheets.

Publish Construction Documents

§? Print construction documents or publish them for electronic sharing.

Print Views and Sheets

§? When need hard copies, can print check plots, individual sheets, or entire sheet sets.

Generate DWF or PDF Files

§? To archive construction documents, can generate DWF or PDF files.

Track Revisions

§? Enter revision information, mark changes with revision clouds, and specify the revisions to display on each sheet.

Present the Project

§? Prepare the design for presentation to clients or other stakeholders.

Create Renderings

§? Generate a photorealistic image of a building model and present the design to clients or share it with team members.

Create a Walkthrough

§? Create a virtual tour of the building model to share the design with others.
