Autodesk® Design Academy Quick Start for Revit Architecture
Autodesk® Design Academy Quick Start for Revit Architecture Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software is a 3D architectural design application. It enables you to create building models using complex components and elements that you can define and edit. In the following exercises, you learn how to create models using both abstract shapes and real-life components, such as walls. You also view the models you create in various representations, export images from the models, and set up to print pages. 1 Exercises ■ ■ ■ Design with Building Forms Design with Building Elements Transmit the Design Standards Autodesk® Design Academy curriculum meets content standards for Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), and Language Arts. To review the list of standards for each lesson, view the National Academic Standards Cross Reference PDF document. This lesson relates to science, technology, engineering, and math standards. Design with Building Elements Designs for buildings, such as single-family residences, are often started by sketching walls rather than defining the three-dimensional shape of a building and then translating parts of that shape into building elements. All building designs aim to fulfill some combination of (possibly conflicting) requirements that need to be balanced by the designer. In the case of a family dwelling, for instance, locating bedrooms up a flight of stairs may make them quieter but cause accessibility problems for very old or very young residents. Characteristics of the building site are also of paramount importance in good building design. For example, a sprawling one-story plan could be inappropriate on a steeply sloped lot. Units 4 through 7 cover in detail how to create walls, doors, windows, stairs, and roofs. In this exercise, you sketch the exterior walls of a single-story residential building on a flat site; add interior walls to define rooms; and then add windows, doors, and a roof. Massing Masses are abstract representations of basic building shapes. Zoning compliance study is a common use for representing mass. Building footprint, volume, and shape can all fall under the rule of building codes or urban authorizing bodies. Once a building shape is determined, building elements can be associated automatically. Mass Families Autodesk Revit Architecture masses can be created in place by sketching profiles and defining size properties, or by loading predefined shapes from a library. 2 ■ Autodesk Design Academy Quick Start for Revit Architecture Transmit the Design Completed building designs are considered legal documents, since they govern extremely complicated contractual arrangements and concern the health and safety of those who construct and inhabit buildings. Construction documents contain explicit instructions from a variety of sources, so designers are careful not only to ensure that their instructions are correct, but also that the company that specifies a set of instructions is identified. Each firm that issues construction document pages uses its own title block, or page border, which contains information about the company and the views on the page. Title blocks and sheet views are covered in Unit 3. Presentation Drawings Views of building design models are often useful before elaborate documentation is added. A presentation view of a proposed building shown to the client or a review board early in the design process can save time and effort in explaining concept or detail, or even be crucial to the success of a project. Key Terms 3D view face shading blend footprint solid curtain system JPG split DWF™ mass toposurface export PDF trim extrusion print void Quick Start for Revit Architecture ■ 3 Exercise: Design with Building Forms In this exercise, you create and manipulate mass instances to create a complex mass, and then you use the mass to generate floors, walls, roofs, and curtain systems. 2. Click Massing & Site on the ribbon to open that tab. Imagine that you are an architect. You have been commissioned by the owner of a long, narrow downtown property to sketch a design for a two-story office/retail complex. 3. On the Conceptual Mass panel, click In-Place Mass. 4. Revit displays a notification that the Show Mass view mode (off by default) is now activated. Click Close. 5. In Name, enter Landmark. Click OK. The Model In-Place Mass context tab opens. Create an In-Place Mass 1. Start Revit®. It opens to a preliminary state named Recent Files. Click the New file icon in the upper left corner to open an empty project using the default template. The project file opens to a plan view in an empty file. Four elevation markers appear in the view window. ' 4 ■ Autodesk Design Academy Quick Start for Revit Architecture 3.

Click OK to exit the dialog box. On the Roof panel, click Finish Roof. Use the Trim tool to trim corners. Note: The view does not completely display the roof. Plan views are 3D, which means they have depth. You learn to adjust view depth in other lessons. Quick Start for Revit Architecture ■ 19 9. Click Finish Roof. 3. Place four points around the building approximately as shown. 4. On the Surface panel, click Finish Surface. Add a Ground Plane In this exercise, you add an object to represent the ground. 1. To open the Site view, in the Project Browser, double-click Floors Plans > Site. 2. Notice that you can see the entire roof in this view. Site views have greater view depth by default. You should also see a blue Reference Point object that is only visible in Site views. On the ribbon, click Massing & Site. On the Model Site panel, click Toposurface. Add Interior Walls In this exercise, you design the interior of the building. 1. Return to the Level 1 Floor Plan view. To see the walls clearly, place your cursor in the center of the building. Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in. Hold the scroll wheel down and pan from side to side as necessary. Click Home tab > Build panel > Wall dropdown > Wall. The Place Wall tab opens. On the Element panel, click Change Element Type. Select Basic Wall: Interior: 5" Partition (2-hr). The Create Topography Surface tab opens. In the Tool panel, Place Point is activated. The Options Bar shows that the points will be placed at 0" 0" Elevation. 20 ■ Autodesk Design Academy Quick Start for Revit Architecture 3. On the Select panel, click Modify to stop placing walls. You can click a wall and drag it to change your layout. Add Doors 2. Each time you click, you place a wall point. The end of one wall is the start of another, except when you end a wall at another wall. If you press ESC once, you stop placement and you can start a wall at a different location. If you press ESC twice, you will terminate the Wall tool. If you do not like what you have done, you can use Undo on the Quick Access toolbar to step back through your wall placement without leaving the Wall tool. In this exercise, you add doors. 1. On the Home tab, Build panel, click Door. On the Options Bar, clear Tag on Placement. 2. Note: Revit displays dimensions indicating offsets and lengths while you work. Place walls as shown. The exact placement is not critical. Place seven doors approximately as shown. Door swing is determined by the side of the wall the cursor touches. You can use the SPACEBAR to flip the hinge side. Once a door is placed, control arrows display, so you can flip the door if necessary without interrupting the Door tool. As with walls, temporary dimensions display to aid placement. You can click a dimension to relocate a door and continue to place doors. Quick Start for Revit Architecture ■ 21 Add Windows View the Model In this exercise, you add windows to finish the design, You are ready to take a look at your building from an so you can show it to your client. exterior vantage point. 1.
