ABSTRACT

In this project we are detailed explanation how do we design and modelling of modern house by Autodesk
revit architecture, which renders complete vision of construction. With BIM new technology it is easy to
model the building and we can connect to revit architecture, Revit MEP, Revit structure, Built for Building
Information Modeling (BIM). In general, for building design and model can be employed by the architecture
of Autodesk Revit. In addition, it can give you an exact vision via design, construction and documentation.
Use the information-rich models that Autodesk Revit Architecture is useful for make more informed
Building designs decisions to support sustainable design, clash detection, construction planning, and
fabrication Installation.

Revit Architecture will clear picture of building excellent visualization

by using V-ray software, that is made for Rendering purpose. For commercial buildings it will very helpful
for visualize building before construction is made the field. When the Revit Architecture window is
displayed, there we can see the different types of templates such as construction template, structure template,
Architecture template. To accomplish this project i.e for design and modeling we use to select Architecture
template.

The design communications gradually being change from 2D based to

integrated 3D digital interface. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM) is a model based design
concept, in which buildings will be built virtually before the actual construction takes place ,where data
models are organized for complete integration of all relevant factors in the building life cycle which also
managed the information exchange between AEC( Architects ,Engineers and Contractors) professionals, to
strengthen the interaction between the design team.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION TO REVIT SOFTWARE

The Revit Architecture software will give the plan view, 3d model with exllent elevation, detailing
diagrams, schedules for each structural elements, and with V-ray rendering software we can have realistic
view with high efficiency, Building information modeling (BIM) gives the information about project design,
its different views, scope, quantities, and phases when you need it. In the Revit model, every project we did
will give the 2d , 3d, section views, elevations with detailing and schedules, quantities also it will provide us.
Revit Architecture collects information about each structural elements material its visualization realistic in
nature and its design such as thickness height and in schedule it will give no of data such as cost type of family,
no. of brick, no of doors, no. of windows etc across0all other representations of the project. In revit we can
have these all 2D, 3D, nd sectional views, elevations and detailing drawing etc. in one cpmplete sheet.

Use Revit® BIM (Building Information Modelling) software to drive efficiency and accuracy across the
project lifecycle, from conceptual design, visualisation and analysis to fabrication and construction.

• Begin modelling in 3D with accuracy and precision.

• Automatically update floor plans,
• elevations and sections as your model
• Let Revit handle routine and repetitive tasks with automation so you can focus on higher-value work.

1.2. DEFINITION OF BIM:

The US National Building Information Model Standard Project Committee has the following

Definition:- Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional
characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a
reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle, defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.
Traditional building design was largely reliant upon. two-dimensional drawings (plans, elevations, sections,
etc.), Building information modeling extends this beyond 3D. augmenting the three primary spatial

9
dimensions (width, height and depth) with time as the fourth dimension (4D) and cost as the fifth (5D), etc.
BIM therefo…

allow extraction of different views from a building model for drawing production and other uses. These
different views are automatically consistent, being based on a single definition of each object instance. BIM
software also defines objects parametrically, that is, the objects are defined as parameters and relations to
other objects, so that if a related object is amended, dependent ones will automatically also change Each
model element can carry attributes for

selecting and ordering them automatically, providing cost estimates as well as material tracking and
ordering. For the professionals involved in a project, BIM enables a virtual information model to be handed
from the design team (architects, landscape architects, surveyors, civil, structural and building services
engineers, etc.) to the main contractor and subcontractors and then on to the owner/operator, each
professional adds discipline-specific data to the single shared model. This reduces information losses that
traditionally occurred when a new team takes 'ownership of the project, and provides more extensive
information to owners of complex structures.

1.3. POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF USING BIM

The possible economic benefits and improvement of productivity with successful BIM implementation is
well acknowledged and gradually better understood within the AEC industry (Bernstein & Pittman, 2004).
BIM applications and solutions is one of the most challenging technological progresses in recent years for
the architecture, engineering. construction, and facility management (AECFM) industry. Its lucrative
deliverables is attracting majority of the construction companies, who aim to offer high quality product for
their clients. The integrated database gives the opportunity to every individual involved in an entire
construction project (including architects, engineers, contractors, project managers.

One of the main advantages of implementing BIM applications is the visual coordination and the capability
to identify possible conflicts among the various building systems. Furthermore, the instantaneous data
updating attribute of BIM along with cloud computing, helps AEC professionals tremendously in saving
time, otherwise spent or wasted in exchanging project information. These deliverable products are just a few
things that one can expect from this powerful tool which completely transforms the way business is
performed (Franklin, 2010). The advantages and possible benefits of this new technology compared to
traditional 2D CAD has been researched intensely in various nations. BIM offers a plethora of benefits, both.
directly and indirectly, to all members of the AECFM industry. A reduction in conflicts and changes/rework
during construction, low levels of risks and improved estimate of long lead resources, overall reduction
construction wastage and the whole-life costs of built assets, better-performing completed infrastructure, and
improved overall project quality are among the advantages that can be experienced with appropriate usage of
BIM applications and solutions

1.4 Extend BIM workflows and save with Revit in a collection

The Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection provides designers, engineers and contractors with
BIM and CAD tools that support projects from the studio to the jobsite.

In addition to Revit, the collection includes:

• AutoCAD
• Civil 3D
11
 • Navisworks
• InfraWorks
• Recap Pro

1.5 VISUALZATION:

The ability to create, visualizes, and present architectural and engineering documents is one of direct benefits
for a 3D model. Many individuals have difficulty understanding overloaded 2D drawings even after intently
studying the drawings. However, a 3D model, even with relatively few details, clearly represents the
building project

1.6 COLLABORATION

BIM proves to be very beneficial for sharing a single database among multiple team members. The AECFM
industry is tightly bound together, and the challenge to synchronize among these professionals seems to be
achievable because of BIM. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that collaboration among teams at initial
stages of construction project has great. rewards for planning and scheduling. Therefore, by developing BIM
models at initial stages of a project, AEC firms can totally ensure in-depth collaboration among the extended
project team, on almost all of the construction issues

1.7 OBJECTIVES OF THE BIM REVIT SOFTWARE:

1. To understand the building information modeling tools .

2. To use the collaboration tools offered by REVIT thus making the overall construction
easy.

3. Make a 3D model and do structural analysis of the structure using STAAD and then
linking it with the REVIT model.

4. Do initial survey to know the requirements of the school and propose the future
development

LITRATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The literature review focuses on the relevance of a digital approach as BIM in the
particularly dynamic and diversified renovation sector, mainly driven by micro
enterprises (μEnt). The state of the art shows that few scientific references are
devoted to this subject and that the technologies and tools available, which are
often very costly, have not demonstrated their profitability (and feasibility) for this
business typology.

2.1 LITRATURE REVIEW

• Zeynep Onur, Fatemeh Nouban explained the characteristics, limitations, application,

technical capabilities, ability to be adopted for new design methods, the ability of work
by a design team, quality of architectural presentation and design of the BIM software in
architectural disciplines to collaborate all the data from engineering and architecture tools
that planners and builders can visualize the building in virtual reality. And also by cloud
computing, it enables every member of the team to access to the information needed. It
allows the designer to design singular models and employs cloud computing to make sure
all members of the design team have access to the information that they require. Revit
BIM software retains data and adapts to the related changes. From one model, it is
possible to extract other drawings. Any change in the 3D model will be reflected in 2D
drawings or vice versa.

• Srimathi.S, Dr.R.N.Uma gathered information about the implementation of BIM tools

in commercial projects. This methodology process shows the computer application
involved in construction management. Initially Commercial Building Plan is developed
in AutoCAD software then modelling and analysing has been done with the help of Revit
Architecture

13
• V. Tabak, B. De Vries paper presents a model for office building usage simulation which
is part of the research project “User Simulation of Space Utilisation”. The aim of his
project is to develop a model for the simulation of human movement to predict space
utilisation in office buildings. The underlying model takes two main types of input: firstly
the workflow of the organisation and secondly the design of the building in which the
organisation is (or will be) housed.

• Deepa A. Patil , Prof. Amey A. Kelkar , Prof. Rohit S. Malawade presented journal
about the current study on concept of building information model(BIM) derives a plat
form where all the key information of every sole element of the process of construction
can be integrated virtually.And also BIM helps in terms of 5D modelling by saving a lot
of time and money over traditional scheduling process. The paper presents the
implementation of project management functions with use of BIM concept in residential
or multi-storeyed buildings. The BIM tool is to assist especially for design, defining the
building form and spaces, visualization to analyzing costs, time and performance of
energy. It is a tool of construction management which is most useful for the real
simulation process of any kind on-going building project

• E. Rakesh Reddy, S. Kailashkumar article presents about detailed explanation of how

do we design and model G+5 commercial building by Autodesk revit architecture, which
renders complete vision of construction. With BIM new technology it is easy to model
the building and we can connect to revit architecture, Revit MEP, Revit structure, Built
for Building Information Modeling (BIM). In general, for building design and model can
be employed by the architecture of Autodesk Revit. In addition, it can give you an exact
vision via design, construction and documentation. Use the information-rich models that
Autodesk Revit Architecture is useful for make more informed Building designs decisions
to support0sustainable design, clash detection, construction planning, and fabrication

ADDING EXTERIOR WALLS AND ROOFS & FLOORS

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Floors, roofs, walls Speaking in a very generic way, they are practically all the horizontal elements that we
can find in the construction of a building. These three parts have a very similar way of modeling in Revit and
this is the reason why when learning this software, they almost always appear one after the other. The order
is usually a rather logical and therefore similar order: starting first with the floors, later the soffits and,
finally, the ceilings. All this, clearly after having modeled the exterior and interior walls of our building.

4.2 ADDING EXTERIOR WALLS

In this exercise, we will know how to create the wall and creating different types wall such as

1. Generic walls
2. Curtain wall
3. Stacked wall
4. Go to architecture panel
5. Select the wall panel
6. Then select wall Architectural
7. Then go to properties browser
8. Select the type of wall which you want
9. Then go to edit type, duplicate it and name it
10. Again go to edit option to change thickness material also
11. After that give the height for the wall
12. Then using draw panel draw the wall as per Architect plan by taking reference as the grid line
diagram
13. But for the stacked wall, and curtain wall it will different:
14. For the stacked wall firstly we need to create normal walls of different thickness, height, as per need
15. Then we will combine those walls from properties browser.
16. 1. Families are nothing but components like door windows, furniture, railings, post balusters,
columns, gates etc, but we need to create these as per need and we can place
17. Creating families is very important in Revit Architecture

21
 18. Using reference lines and reference planes, we need to draw Profile of the object as per our need 4.
To make these components we have number of advanced tools.
19. Go to create panel in design panel we have tools like Extrusion, sweep, Blend revolve, Swept Blend
etc
20. Using these above tools We can draw the components, and we have to save it in specifies path as
family

Figure 4.1 Adding exterior walls

4.2 ADDING A ROOF

1. Go to architecture tab

2. Select the roof

3. Then using draw panel draw the roof shape as per need

4. from properties we can give slope value as per need

5. By removing define slope we can have the flat slab.

6. We have roof by extrusion option to have the roof

by drawing a plan like arc, line or combination of line and arc from elevation view

7. Using offset option we can give the setbacks also

8. Using modify tools such as trim/extend, split tool we can modify the roof.
22
 9. After creation of roof then from properties browser edit type we can change thickness and we can

give the materials also.

10. The Revit work environment allows users to manipulate whole buildings or assemblies (in the project

environment) or individual 3D shapes (in the family editor environment).

11. Modelling tools can be used with pre-made solid objects or imported geometric models.

12. However, Revit is not a NURBS modeller and also lacks the ability to manipulate an object's individual

polygons except on some specific object types such as roofs, slabs and terrain or in the massing environment.

13. There are many categories of objects (families in Revit terminology), which divide into three groups

14.System Families are pre-made by Autodesk and customization is limited

15. Loadable Families/Components can be built from scratch

16. In-Place Far which are like loadable families, but cannot be saved out of the project in which they are made.

Figure 4.2 Adding a roof

4.3 ADDING A FLOORS

In this exercise, we can create floors in different shape

23
 1. Select floor plan from project browser

2. Then architecture panel

3. Select architecture floor

4. Using draw panel draw the floor plan shape

5. Go to properties edit type, duplicate it, and name it with required name

6. We can change thickness and material also

7. We can the floors using the Pick line method, pick wall edge method

8. Drawing a closed figure in already drawn closed boundary will create hole in that particular area

9. Like that select each floor plan and draw the floors as per need

10. If the floors for all floors is same then we can copy also by using copy to clip board and paste option.

11. On the Sorting/Grouping tab of the Schedule We can sort by using different fields as we

initially selected like height, thick, and family type etc.

12. Using formatting option we can set orientation and alignment for door specifications which we have

selected initially.

13. Using Appearance tab we can change the grid lines, outer lines style, and also we can change the text

14. we can change the dimension by double click on dimension line

15. we can lock the dimension to avoid changing the dimension.

16. To Specify Temporary Dimension Settings:

17 .Click Manage tab

18. Additional Settings button

19. Temporary Dimensions.

20. Click Architecture tab Build panel Floor drop-down (Floor: Architectural).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

5.1 INTRODUCTION

The building information of the school was done and the dynamic usefulness of BIM
was studied. The conclusion drawn is that the use of modern tools can make the planning and
designing process an easy and efficient. The link of all the different kinds of details is a
powerful tool for better co-ordination in the project. The use of softwares reduces a lot of man
power and human errors. It should be also kept in mind that even the computer can make
mistakes, the designer should analyse the outputs of the software and make sure they are
correct Time estimation is still nit a part of popular BIM softwares but as the industry
develops these tools will also be available.

5.2 RESULT 3D VIEW USING REVIT:

An experienced user can create realistic and accurate families ranging from furniture to
lighting fixtures, as well as import existing models from other programs. Revit families can be created as
parametric models with dimensions and properties. This lets users modify a given component by changing
predefined parameters such as height, width or number in the case of an array. In this way a family defines a
geometry which is controlled by parameters, each combination of parameters can be saved as a type, and
each occurrence (instance in Revit) of a type can also contain further variations.

Autodesk Revit MEP is building information modeling (BIM) software created by Autodesk. MEP stands
for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, which are the three engineering disciplines that Revit MEP
addresses. By utilizing BIM as opposed to computer-aided drafting (CAD), Revit MEP is able to leverage
dynamic information in intelligent models allowing complex building systems to be accurately designed and
documented in a shorter amount of time

DISCUSSIONS OF REVIT SOFT WARE

The use of Revit was discussed with multiple engineers from a reputable structural engineering
firm. Some insight was gained from these engineers experience with using Revit on real construction
projects within the New York metropolitan area. The following includes a summary of the opinions of these
engineers based on their personal experiences. The material choice for the building structure typically has a
direct impact on the usefulness of the program for structural engineers. For concrete buildings, the biggest
advantage of using Revit for a structural engineer is mostly only as a tool to coordinate amongst the design
team. Particularly in New York, it seems that the industry's concrete contractors do not have an interest in
using Revit.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been making significant inroads in the construction
industry in the early part of this century to the point that now 4- and 5-dimensional models are common
practice. Software is also getting better at communicating between packages without loss of data. The use
of BIM has significantly enhanced the ability to deliver satisfaction to construction Owners by enabling the
use of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) as the preferred method of project delivery. However, there still is
significant room for improvement in the area of integrating the knowledge or informational aspects of the
constructed project. This paper explores the need for the integration of information, or emphasizing
the “I” in BIM and IPD through the use of case studies.

In construction projects, the life cycle is implemented in a cradle to grave approach. It is split into
planning, design, construction, operation & maintenance and facility management phases until the useful
life of the facility. Traditional project approaches that are used in the industry still face a lot of challenges
due to cost & schedule overruns poor collaboration among the project participants and inefficient
ways of handling the constructed facility during the implementation of the life cycle. In order to create an
interdisciplinary work environment among the project participants, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

CONCLUSIONS

6.1 CONCLUDING REMARKS

I conclude that BIM model of an modern house is created and different components are implemented in the
design using different tools in software. Using BIM as a tool to update the flow of information during a
project is just as critical as doing it the first time. BIM tools will continue to develop in their ability to be
streamlined, but current processes allow a BIM-enabled construction manager to complete tasks with
relatively good efficiency. As users become more proficient with the software and the process to which the
software is applied, these tasks will be even faster.This project gives the realistic modeling of building and
accurate families ranging from furniture.

To lighting fixtures, as well as import existing models from other softwares like Auto CAD etc.
In this Project we have done planning, modeling, scheduling of Doors and we have created families also for
this modern building

6.2 SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK

This project gives clear design and modeling of a modern building with the efficient
structural and architectural plans. It provides the overall knowledge of material take off and
schedule quantities in the model of the building defined in the project. 3 D realistic view give
the clear picture about the family and the components placed with in the building model.
