May I ask a few questions/be helped?



Hello! I'm new to revit, and have a (not so good) revit teacher. so ultimately it's up to me to figure out how to do all of this myself to save my grade. It's not like I have any other options but to turn to the internet for assistance. I don't have a computer at home, and am having to give up lunch periods to get this done; step by step instructions on how to do things (something like this:)


How to add a refrigerator:

Click component 

Click edit type

Click load 

Scroll down to specialty equipment, click domestic, then high end, and choose a refrigerator 

Click open, ok, then place it 



would be insanely appreciated (I don't know where anything is and was barely able to figure out how to rotate a table) 

How do i know if walls are poched in plain view? how do i "show materials" for a floor, walls, doors, windows, and a roof?'

how do i render an elevation from, a 3d view? (what is an elevation?) 

Where do i find base and upper cabinets, counter tops, and a dishwasher? How do i make a bathroom layout with wet wall? What's a tub sink and where do i find it? How do i add light fixtures to a roof?

How do i make exterior perspective views rendered showing materials and site? 

How do i make a "site" and add building pads 


and add "components" like trees?

What is the difference between interior and exterior walls, and how do i change the type once they're placed (since my walls are already set?) 

(After typing all of this I realize that some of the basic questions like "where do i find a dishwasher" are pretty basic and can be googled, I would feel bad if someone wasted their time answering those, but nonetheless there are entire concepts that i don't understand or know what to do to approach. Help would be appreciated. Here's an (almost) direct copy paste Of the requirements:

Site plan 

-  Contours

-  Building Pad

-  Components (tress, etc.)

-  Materials 

Sight plan Exterior Perspective

-  Front view of building or most descriptive view.

-  Rendered

-  Materials 

Overall dimensions

-  Poche’ walls (exterior 10”) ( interior 5”-gypsum wallboard)

-  Stairs

-  Windows, Doors (different door sizes and type)

-  Floors (materials)

-  Kitchen (sink, stove, refrigerator, upper and lower cabinets, countertop)

-  Bathroom (tub, sink, toilets) 

Ceiling Plan

-  Lighting fixtures (recessed and pendant light fixtures)

-  Ceiling material (gypsum wallboard 

-  Exterior Materials – exterior walls (corrugated steel 1”,wood studs5”, insulation 3 1/2” gypsum wallboard 1/2”)

-  Roof material
Drawing number: A-106 (Stair Section, Wall Section)

Drawing number: A-107 (Interior Perspectives)

-  Kitchen/Main Living Space

-  Bathroom/Bedroom

A poorly designed "architecture" class with no structure, harsh grading and revit as it's crutch.

Sorry if I didn't understand you well. Do you have to use Revit to get the project done or you re allowed to use anything you want?

Reminds me of my first week studying design...back when we still used 2H pencils.   Professor told us, "we dont teach you how to draw buildings in architecture school,   we expect that you already know how to make blueprints."

Seriously? You need to make the most and get as much information as possible out of your Prof, especially if they have industry experience. And if Revit HAS been mandated as an  important part of the course, then suck it up and learn it - I have seen too many fresh grads / interns be let go because they do not know / do not learn how to use the software. Harsh grading in the classroom is mild by comparison. And if you are in college, no one is going to hold your hand and make you learn it. There are any number of online resources to learn. Revit may be just a crutch/tool, but it is an industry standard and essential to survival in the workplace. Take a look at job postings if you don't believe me.

 

Walls will be poched in plan view depending upon the wall type that you have selected. The default basic wall type, however, does not have poche.

To add poche -

create a wall,

select it,

look at the Properties palette,

click Edit Type,

click Duplicate and rename it, (you have created a new wall type)

then click on the Edit  button (it will be next to Structure).

That will take you to the Edit Assembly dialog box.

Click on <By Category> next to Structure[1]. That will take you to the Material Browser, where you can click on the Pattern swatch for Cut Pattern.

 

To generate a 3D view - at the top of the screen, click on View, then 3D View. If you pick the Camera option, you will get a perspective view.

 

Components - click on Insert, then Load Family. That should take you to the Revit library, where you will find what you need.That includes things like cars and trees.

 

Site plan stuff - click on Massing and Site. 

 

Dimensions - click on Annotate for dimensioning tools.

 

Ceiling Plan - you may be working on the default Architectural template, where you will see the views existing in the project in the Project Browser. If not, click on View>>Plan Views>>Ceiling plan.

 

Drawing numbers - in the Project Browser right click on Sheets. When you create Sheets drawing numbers will be automatically created.

 

As to what an elevation is - it's a vertical view. Any further details about types of drawings and sheets should be asked from your instructor - that information dates back to the days of manual drawing WAY before Revit and should have been a pre-requisite for the course.

@Sahay_R     "if Revit HAS been mandated as an  important part of the course, then suck it up and learn it"  now that's what I'm talking about....! 

 

 

I'm 52, and just learned AutoCAD and Revit within the last two years, unaccompanied by a professor.  My experience will tell you this, it ain;t easy... I have lost sleep... but my value in the marketplace has gone through the roof.  If I were hiring, I'd be certain to find someone who knew their way around the tool palettes.

Can I suggest you click the link in my signature below- this will take you a list of basic Revit topics, split into logical groups. Each topic has a link to a YouTube tutorial. Pick the ones applicable- they cover most of the items on your list.

Kind regards,
Ian
