Modeling a house in Autodesk Revit is actually pretty easy. The software is super user-friendly, and the BIM tools are awesome for projects of any size. Here's the basic process:
1. Sketching:
Get a piece of paper and a pencil, and begin with initial sketches to visualize the design. Draw all your ideas on the paper. You can cancel, erase, start several times afresh until you get a concept that satisfies your idea.
2. Creating the Structure:
Walls:
In Autodesk Revit, define the levels and other pre-settings before heading to the walls tools. pick the wall type and start representing your sketched plan in Revit. You can utilize the settings to apply wall parameters like type, texture, finishes, etc. Also, take advantage of the family library to select from the list of many options.
Floor and Slab:
Follow the above steps to create the floors, choose your floor types, and finish.
Roof and other structural elements:
Depends on your choice, but you will need to take advantage of the Revit family library to make the right choice. The following are options currently available in Revit. Gable, Hip, Shed, Flat roofs, plus complex ones like Mansard, Gambrel, Dutch Gable, Butterfly, A-Frame, Barrel Vault, Sawtooth, Dormer, and M-shaped roofs
3. Adding Details:
Incorporate doors, windows, fixtures, and other architectural components. For windows, Autodesk Revit offers a variety of options, including basic fixed, casement sliding, double-hung, and more complex styles such as arched, bay, corner, and louvered. Revit also provides a range of door options in its family set.
4. Rendering and Visualization:
Leverage Revit's rendering tools to produce high-quality visuals of your completed design. For enhanced realism and visual appeal, consider investing in third-party rendering engines such as V-Ray, Twinmotion, Enscape, Lumion, or any engine available to you.
5. Documentation:
Documentation in Revit entails.
Organize Views: Use the Project Browser to find your plans, elevations, sections, and schedules.
Create Sheets: Right-click "Sheets" in the Project Browser "New Sheet," select a title block (or load a custom one).
Place Views: Drag views from the Project Browser onto the new sheet.
Adjust Viewports:
Click the view on the sheet to activate it and adjust its scale.
Activate the crop region (under View Properties) to frame and crop the drawing.
Deactivate the crop region and turn off its visibility for a clean look.
Add Annotations & Schedules:
Use the Annotate tab for text, dimensions, tags (like material tags for finishes), and detail components. Drag Schedules (door, window, material) and Legends from the Project Browser onto the sheet.
Refine & Sequence: Arrange sheets logically (Cover Sheet, General Notes, Plans, Elevations, Schedules) and number them systematically.
Print/Export: Use File Print (or Batch Print) to generate PDFs or plots, ensuring you select the correct sheets and printer.
Key Elements for Finished Work:
Finish Plans: Use Material Tags to label finishes like flooring, walls, etc., often with specific material names.
Schedules: Extract data for Door Schedules, Window Schedules, Finish Schedules.
Details & Callouts: Create detailed views for complex areas to show construction specifics.
Worksets: Use Worksets to manage and isolate different aspects of the project for team collaboration before final documentation.
