In-class Revit demonstration recordings + bonus callout tag in structural plans demo: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cqpg2cozh09e0mnzlzt9x/AHYdthG94N3GU60YowIma7I?rlkey=8c98o80ov5uazaqemf7bqibdt&dl=0

Due for next class on Miro (TLDR: Continue developing your sheets based on the modeling techniques shown in class):

• SC-01 – Basic Sheet updated
  • Add annotations and overall dimensions, many of these were missing for the last class
  • Notched beam and plates should be added now
• SC-02 – Exploded Isometric updated
  • start adding annotations and overall dimension, many of these were missing for the last class
  • Notched beam and plates should be added now
• SC-03 – Kit of Parts 
  • Recommend using created families in a new project file to do this so that you do not have to keep hiding them in your main file. If you used families to make your objects, this should be relatively simple.
  • Separate all the elements, if they would not arrive together on site, they should not be shown together (ex. no base plate shown on concrete footing)
  • No annotations or dimensions needed here, make your titles clear.
• SC-04 – First Details Sheet –
  • Footing detail to column
    • Remember the 4 views! (Plan, elevation, section, 3D axon – all line up)
    • When cutting the section detail through footing, show the void for the bolts and use the detail regions to show shims and grout fill.
  • Beam to columns connections
  • Column to column connection at splice
  • Beam to notched beam connection with fin plate
  • Start with a scale around 1 1/2″ to see if things work.  If you need more sheets continue to SC-05, SC-06 etc.

Work to complete the following in your Revit Model:

• HSS Column
  • Make this parametric using formulas as demonstrated in class.
• Conical Holes in footing
• Splice plate (column to column)
• Fin plate (column to beam & beam to beam)
• Wide-Flange Notched beam
  • Locate this mid-span of your structural grid
  • Use the member size that you selected in class in your groups! (#5)
• Additional Revit Modeling I did not yet demonstrate – Follow the PowerPoint tutorials if you would like to keep going
  • Diagonal bracing
  • Floor slab

Push ahead as far as you can – work to complete the following in your Revit Model. Remember to model your own things, do not just download families or use pre-existing elements from the structural library. You will receive 0 credit if you do this!

• Baseplates for columns
• Concrete Footing
  • Complete the footing with parameters
  • If you can add the void hole – follow the PowerPoint tutorial – I will demonstrate next class
• Hold Down Assembly
  • Threaded Rod
  • Washer
  • Nut
    • Assemble this as a Hold down assembly family – then load this family into the concrete footing
• Instance Parameters pointers
  • Remember that some of the dimensions to locate the holes need to be locked to reference planes, not to the element itself
  • Some of the dimensions for the outside edges of the bottom of the footing need to be locked
  • Remember to make these instance parameters and to snap the objects to it.
• Additional Revit Modeling I did not yet demonstrate – Follow the PowerPoint tutorials if you would like to keep going
  • Add the rectangular Splice plates for the columns
  • Add the fin plates to connect the column to the beams

Useful links –

• The PowerPoint tutorials are posted here (link) a the bottom of the assignment page
• Links to the 4 Youtube videos
  • Baseplate to footing connection
  • Beam to Column Fin plate connection
  • Beam to Column Connection #2
  • Beam to Notched Beam Connection

A fresh new Miro board as we move on to the next assignment, there is information within that we will be referencing throughout today’s demonstrations:

Due for next class

MODELING

• Model at minimum – 6 columns (2 wide flange, 2 square, 2 round) – 4 beams (all wide flange)
• Do not worry about the bracing elements yet, but if you’d like to try, go ahead, it is similar to the stair stringer.

MIRO POSTING

• Post in MIRO 2 sheets minimum
  • • SC-01 – Standard 4 Views (Plan, 2 elevations, 2 isometrics, 1 perspective) – required
    • SC-02 – Isometric Sheet (using plan callouts and orient to view) – required
    • SC-03 – Kit of Parts (place all families here as you make them) – optional
      • We did not have time to discuss this in class so it is optional. These are simple 3D views of each member/element placed onto a sheet. 
• Use the assignment sheet (from Miro or on OpenLab) for an example of all these sheets. Do not worry about annotations yet.
• Pay attention to where your name is located on Miro, it has changed from the first assignment. 

Have a good weekend! Thank you for all the nice, hard work on the first assignment, keep it up. I hope you get some rest and reflect on all the progress you have made thus far!

Assignment Deadline for tuesday, september 17th –

• Post to Brightspace by Midnight Monday, September 16th
  • Include a single PDF of your sheets and your Revit Project File (your families should already be saved within the revit file)
• Post all sheets to MIRO, not just new ones, by Midnight Monday, September 16th
  • SH-05, SH-06, SH-07, etc.
• I will check what has been posted by midnight to Miro, late uploads will receive late penalties.

• SH-05 – Final Research Sheets
  • You may have modified your design based on new research, post the final research sheets as well. 
  • If more sheets are needed, use SH-05.1, SH-05.2, SH05.3, etc.
• SH-06 – First Basic Sheet with 4 views
  • If it helps to explain your design, I suggest everyone modify this sheet to include additional views that show a second elevation that shows the railing assembly and a view from behind so the stringer support is visible. (views from the other sides basically)
• SH-07, SH-08, etc.. Detail Studies at Larger scales (1 1/2″, 3″, 6″, etc.)
  • You may end up with separate or combined sheets for the different studies depending upon the layout of your details.  Remember to address the following:
    • Buildings Structure to Stringer connection
    • Stringer to Tread connection
    • Railing Assembly to stair connection (to tread, to stringer or to the building)
• Use of ISOMETRIC VIEWS
  • Consider making use of Multiple Isometric views – stacked to show assembly or possibly show the same axonometric several times in different degrees of assembly.  For example – just the stringer, then one with the steps but no railings, then one complete with railings.
• Materials
  • Add materials designations using region or materials hatches.  Also name the material in your notes.
• Adding Notes and Dimensions
  • Notes – these should describe the assembly and identify materials.  You can use one to describe more than one item.  For example – 2 X 2 STEEL NEWEL POST CONNECTED TO 1/4″ X 2″ X 8″ STEEL C-CHANNEL STRINGER
  • Dimensions – to build your stairs you must provide dimensions.  This can be done with dimensions on the detail or in a note.
• Choosing your graphics
  • Remember the goal is clarity – so if your layout or details are clear to you – then go with your intuition.

• ALWAYS THE 4 VIEWS

  • Remember that each detail study is another group of 4 views (Plan, Elevation, Section and Isometric)
  • If the plans /elevations/sections are all at 1 1/2″ scale – you may find a smaller scale isometric at 1″ works better than matching the 1 1/2″ scale.

Anthony Ortega will be running Revit workshops that match the schedule of our course assignments starting September 6th in room V834A (Same classroom that we meet in). I encourage attending if you will be around City Tech working on your final drawings, it may be helpful to learn from someone else’s perspective.

Videos from class are posted here (See ToC.txt file for a description of what we covered in each video, we reviewed a lot):  https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/cqpg2cozh09e0mnzlzt9x/AHYdthG94N3GU60YowIma7I?rlkey=8c98o80ov5uazaqemf7bqibdt&dl=0

Due for Day 05 – Prefinal Pinup

Consider this next pinup your prefinal – the last chance for me to critique your work.

YOU MUST PINUP ALL YOUR WORK IN MIRO BEFORE CLASS STARTS!!!

• Make certain you demonstrate all the necessary skills of modeling, materials, notes and dimensions, regions and detail items, etc. – so we can review this in class
• Remember to make new views in groups of 4 – (Plan/Section/Elevation/Isometric)
  • Do not spread these out on a page but look to position related details close together. 
  • Depending on the scale of your details you should be able to fit 2 to 4 sets of details on a single sheet.

Your details should explain the following. Create as many details/sheets as necessary to explain your design to a client and an installer/contractor:

• STRINGER –
  • Where is your stringer positioned – (one in the center, one against the wall with cantilevered steps, two stringers)
  • What is the size and material of your stringer
  • How does it connect to the building (at top and bottom or to the wall)
• TREADS –
  • What material is your tread?
  • How does your tread connect to the stringer?
• RAILING POSTS &  BALUSTRADE –
  • Describe your railing post if you have one?
  • How does it connect (to the tread, to the stringer, to the floor or some other manner)
  • How does the post connect to the handrail?
  • How is your balustrade made?  Is it wires, metal posts or glass panels?
• HANDRAIL –
  • What material is your handrail?
  • How does it connect to the railing post?
• ASSEMBLY of STAIR –
  • Using exploded isometrics can you explain more clearly the assembly of your stair?
