Activity 3 Introduction to Revit: Introduction to the Revit user interface, Building Information Modeling, project files and families. Review the scavenger hunt project file.

Assignment 1.1 Case Study Boards: Identify three potential case study subjects, format each on an 11 x 17 sheet landscape format and pinup at start of next class

Assignment 2.1 Scavenger Hunt: Goal is to understand and describe assembly. Find three stories. Layout three sheets. Work in multiple coordinated views showing plan, elevations, section and isometric.

Activity 2 Scavenger Hunt: Continue to review Revit. What makes a good story? Discuss inquiry methods – how is the building assembled? How to layout a sheet. Adding annotation and dimensions. Naming sheets. Red mark session.

Assignment 1.2 Case Study Research Presentation: Teams to visit case study buildings before next class. Presentation of photographs and research presentation showing additional information about building. Presentation in PowerPoint.

Assignment 2.2 Scavenger Hunt: Final presentation for scavenger hunt due next class.

Activity 1b: Allow students 30 minutes of research time with postings on their team OpenLab site.

Activity 2: Scavenger Hunt In class student work session. Final Pinup Next Class.

Activity 2: Introduction to 3D Revit Families:

Creating parametric 3D Revit families and assembling these in a project file. In class creation of a steel column and a steel beam and assemble in position in project file as start of connections assignment.

Assignment 3.1 Steel Connections: Based on Building Construction Illustrated: 3rd Edition: 7.24 . Goal is to recreate the page including all steel pieces, assemble in place, add annotation and dimensions and present on titleblocks.
