I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday.  A reminder that you are working on two assignments:

1 – Home Depot Materials Assignment – based on our field trip put together your materials presentation – covering a minimum of three materials.

2- Work on developing your wall sections based on your materials choices.  Continue your research and begin to make necessary 3D families.

• Today we began with layout of building sections onto titleblocks at 1/8″ scale
• Followed by wall sections at 3/4″, with 1 1/2″ and 3″ callouts
• Then a review of stone panels systems.

Continue to develop your building:

• Add sheets for all your floor plans. Name and number them properly. (don’t worry about laying them all out yet)
• The drawings list schedule should update.
• Work on finishing the building as follows:
  • Exterior wall from level 1 to roof
  • Basement Foundation wall with perimeter footing.
  • Add exterior Windows – you may need to load some families and customize these
• Be prepared to work on the floor plan for next class.

 

Agendas-Lectures-Tutorials

Include a PDF of all your sheets and the Cover and your Revit file

• Sheets
  • Cover including drawings list (filtered and sorted correctly)
  • Level 1 Plan – includes grid lines, exterior dimension strings, exterior wall (use brick block wall as a place holder – runs from Level 1 to the Roof Level plus 3 extra feet)
  • Exterior Elevations – Number these beginning with A-301.  Include all 4 main elevations (north/south/east/west).  These show Level 1 up to the Roof
  • Building Sections – (optional for this deadline)  Building sections show the foundation wall and basement – so they take up more space on a title block.
• Modeling Work
  • Grids (make these consistent on all floors – use “Propagate Extents”.
  • Dimension Strings (use aligned and show dimension’s for grid spacing)
  • Exterior Wall (use the BASIC WALL – Exterior – Brick on CMU) make sure the brick is on the outside by drawing clockwise.  Offset this 1′-4″ to 1′-6″ from the grid lines.
  • Floor Slabs (Architecture > Floor > Floor Structural > 3″ LW Concrete on 2″ Metal Deck).  To draw this snap to the outer face of the concrete block in the brick wall.
  • Structural Foundation Wall (Architecture > Walls > Basic Wall Foundation – 12″ Concrete).  To draw this snap to the outer face of the brick.
  • Structural Foundation (Footing)  (Structure > Foundation > Wall > 36″ x 12″)  Snap to the foundation wall.

You work as a team to determine the dimensions of your case study building but each of you must draw your own Revit files – no sharing of files.  You may share your research.

Complete the following for your case study:  INDIVIDUAL WORK

• Draw Grids
• Draw levels
• Create a titleblock and format the grids – try to use 1/8″ scale

Upload the following to Blackboard by midnight Wednesday

• Your Revit file
• A PDF plot of the titleblock with grids.

Be prepared to draw the following during next class:

• Foundation Wall and Footing
• Structural Columns
• Floor slabs – basement to the roof
