BCLP-086- Revit Essentials -Doors in Revit

Doors in Revit

·???????? Doors are components that can be added to any type of wall in a Revit project, facilitating passage between rooms and spaces.

·???????? They can be placed in plan, section, elevation, or 3D views, and Revit automatically cuts an opening in the wall to accommodate the door.

About Door Tags:

·???????? Door tags are annotations used to enumerate instances of doors within a project, typically displaying the value of the door’s Mark property.

·???????? The Mark property assigns a unique identifier to each door instance, starting from 1 and increasing sequentially with each subsequent door placement.

Placing Doors:

·???????? Doors can be placed using the Door tool, selecting a door type from the Type Selector, and specifying its location on the wall.

·???????? Revit automatically cuts the opening in the wall to fit the door.

Changing Door Orientation:

·???????? The orientation of a door, including its hinge side and swing, can be modified after placement using flip controls.

Moving Doors:

·???????? Doors can be repositioned within the same wall or moved to a different wall using the Pick New Host tool.

Adding Doors to Curtain Walls:

·???????? Customized curtain panels can be used to add doors to curtain walls, enabling the scheduling of doors within these systems.

Door Instance Properties:

·???????? Instance properties allow for the modification of specific attributes of individual door elements within a project.

·???????? These properties include constraints such as Level and Sill Height, construction details like Frame Type and Frame Material, and identity data such as Mark and Comments.

Door Type Properties:

·???????? Type properties apply universally to all instances of a particular door type within a project and include construction details, materials, dimensions, and more.

Importance in Design Workflow:

·???????? Understanding and effectively utilizing door properties in Revit is essential for architects and designers to accurately represent door elements within their building models.

·???????? By mastering these properties, designers can ensure that doors within their projects meet design specifications, regulatory requirements, and aesthetic preferences effectively.

Door Type Properties Overview:

Construction:

·???????? Wall Closure: Specifies the layer wrapping around the door, overriding any host settings.

·???????? Construction Type: Defines the type of construction for the door, influencing its structural characteristics.

Function:

·???????? Function: Indicates whether the door serves an interior or exterior purpose, essential for scheduling and model filtering.

Materials and Finishes:

·???????? Door Material: Material of the door, such as metal or wood, influencing its appearance and properties.

·???????? Frame Material: Material of the door frame, affecting its durability and aesthetic appeal.

Dimensions:

·???????? Thickness:

o?? Thickness of the door, impacting its structural integrity and space requirements.

·???????? Height:

o?? Height of the door, crucial for ensuring proper clearance and functionality.

·???????? Trim Projection Ext:

o?? Exterior trim projection, defining the extension of trim elements outside the door.

·???????? Trim Projection Int:

o?? Interior trim projection, specifying the extension of trim elements inside the door.

·???????? Trim Width:

o?? Width of the door trim, contributing to the overall aesthetics of the door.

·???????? Width:

o?? Width of the door, essential for determining its passage capacity.

·???????? Rough Width and Height:

o?? Dimensions used for scheduling or exporting, typically representing the structural opening size.

Identity Data:

·???????? Keynote:

o?? Door keynote for classification and documentation purposes.

·???????? Model:

o?? Name of the door model type.

·???????? Manufacturer:

o?? Manufacturer of the door.

·???????? Type Comments:

o?? Additional comments or information about the door type, useful for documentation and communication.

·???????? URL:

o?? Link to the manufacturer's webpage for detailed information about the door.

·???????? Description:

o?? Description providing details about the door's characteristics and features.

·???????? Assembly Description:

o?? Description of the assembly based on the assembly code selection.

·???????? Assembly Code:

o?? Uniformat assembly code selected from a hierarchical list.

·???????? Type Mark:

o?? Unique identifier for the particular door type within the project.

·???????? Fire Rating:

o?? Fire rating of the door, crucial for compliance with building regulations.

·???????? Cost:

o?? Cost of the door, important for budgeting and cost estimation.

·???????? OmniClass Number and Title:

o?? Classification numbers and names from the OmniClass Construction Classification System, aiding in organizing and categorizing the door type.

IFC Parameters:

·???????? Operation:

o?? Defines the operation of the door, as per the current IFC description, facilitating interoperability with other software platforms.

Analytical Properties:

·???????? Analytic Construction:

o?? Attributes related to the analytical behavior of the door.

·???????? Heat Transfer Coefficient (U):

o?? Measure used in calculating heat transfer.

·???????? Thermal Resistance (R):

o?? Measure of resistance to heat flow.

·???????? Solar Heat Gain Coefficient:

o?? Fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through the door.

·???????? Visual Light Transmittance:

o?? Amount of visible light passing through the door's glazing system.
