Prof. King – Assignments Due for Thursday

Please complete the following for Thursday

    1. Email me the email address you use for your zoom login so I can put you into groups for next class.
    2. Document (2) two materials videos based on the assigned list.
      • Link the assigned video into your post.
      • Set the start time for the video
      • (when you are viewing the video on YouTube – move to the start point you want then select the “share button” at the bottom – then select “start at” and then copy the link)
      • Document the timeline – see samples online
      • For category select your name and select “Watchlist > Technical”
    3. Keep your eye out for any Revit tutorials you find helpful – we will be documenting these later on in a similar fashion.
        • When you document these for category select your name and “Watchlist > Revit”
        • This is not due for Thursday
    4. 3D families for your facade materials
          • Begin to model your families and look to assemble these in the template provided.
          • Pay attention to the proper orientation of the family
          • Assign proper materials (remember you need to import materials the first time – Revit > Manage >Transfer Project Standards
          • In the Family set “Family Category and Parameters” – this determines where it shows in the family list in the project browser – there should be no generic families in your finished project
          • Create parameters as needed so your families can be modified – but be careful that some family items will have no parameters- for example a special clip of a certain size or a spider clamp for a glass curtain wall
    5. Assemble your families in the template file
      1. Rename the file using ProfessorName StudentFirst Last Name etc.
      2. Repeat the process of creating the following wall types by making a copy of a generic wall – prefix each with your Initials.   My initials are PK
        1. PK Backup Wall – 9 3/8″
          • 5/8″ GWB
          • 8″ Metal Stud Layer
          • 3/4″ Plywood Sheathing
        2. PK Backup Wall – GWB 5/8″
          • 5/8″ GWB

        4. PK Backup Wall – Waterproofing 1/16″
          • 1/16″ Waterproofing
    • Consider Using the Same Method for Rigid Insulation
    • Place the various walls parallel to the metal stud frame for each layer
    • Play with the option to edit the profile of the different walls to peel them back to make a more illustrative isometric
    • To shorten the walls to match the bottom of the slab – select the top slab – select “edit boundary” then select the green check.  When prompted “Would you like walls that go up to this floor’s level to attach to its bottom?” Select “YES”
