Project Overview
PROJECT BRIEF
Introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent model-based process that provides insight for creating and managing building projects
faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact. Learn basic techniques for creating building information models, including:
building elements, building envelope, curtain systems, interiors and circulation, and creating families.
Autodesk Revit building design software is specifically built for Building Information Modeling (BIM), including features for architectural
design, MEP and structural engineering, and construction. This unit presents many of the fundamental concepts of creating BIM models
through the application of the tools in Revit. The features presented are a small subset of the full range available in the Autodesk Revit
platform, specifically focusing on creating new models and displaying them in ways suitable for various applications.

LESSON OVERVIEW
In this lesson, students explore basics techniques for using the
Autodesk Revit Architecture software to create a building
information model of a simple structurea one story residence.
They will learn how to:
outside of Revit project files and are loaded into projects when
needed and have a *.RFA suffix. The Load Family command located
in the Insert tab > Load from Library panel provides the ability to
import library components into any project.
CREATING FLOORS AND ROOFS
In Autodesk Revit software, the Roof by Footprint tool enables
you to use a simple strategy of either sketching lines or picking walls
that indicate the boundaries of the roof and specifying which edges
should create sloped roof planes. The characteristics of the roof
created including the materials and structure, as well as the
slopeare determined by the properties of the roof type that you
have selected.
The steps for creating floor elements in Revit is very similar to
creating roofs. You open the Floor tool and then sketch lines or pick
walls to indicate the boundaries of the floor. The primary difference
is that most floors are not sloped (although they can be if that is
appropriate for the model). The materials and structure of a floor are
determined by choosing the floor type.
Floors and Roofs are a type of system family that are predefined and
live inside Revit project files (*.RVT) or project templates (*.RTE). The
Transfer Project Standards command located in the Manage tab >
Settings panel provides the ability to copy floor and roof types from
one project to another.

If you want to extend a wall to meet another wall, the trim tool
offers an easy way to quickly and precisely join two walls.
ADDING DOORS AND WINDOWS
As you place new doors, you can indicate the direction that the
door will swing into by hovering the cursor near the face of the
wall on the interior side of the door. The hinge side of a door
can be changed by pressing the space bar.
How can you indicate the hinge side and the flip of a door as
you are placing it? After it has been placed?
After a door is placed, you can select a door and small blue
arrows appear that enable you to quickly change the flip

You can also build up more complex roof shapes by creating several
independent roof elements to model gambrel roofs, mansard roofs,
clerestory roofs, and dormer roofs. Where the edge of one roof
intersects the face of another roof, you can join them to automatically determine the geometry of the intersection.
Revit also provides a Roof by Extrusion tool that enables you to
create roof surfaces by extruding a surface from a sketched roof

mullions as desired to accurately model your design.
You specify a curtain walls horizontal and vertical grid layout (as
well as the mullions to be placed at the panel and wall edges) by
editing its type and instance properties. You set the pattern for each
direction independently, and the layout options include:

Specify the layout and spacing of the curtain wall elements for
new curtain wall systems and how to modify existing ones.
Explore the design options available for customizing grid
patterns, panel materials, and panel types.
Use a previously defined curtain wall type that specifies the grid
pattern and mullion types as part of the type definition.
Add grid lines across all segments except ones that you pick to

You can also sketch curved run lines to create curved or spiral stairs.
When creating spiral stairs, keep in mind that a curved stair run is
limited to a rotation of 360. If you need to model a stair with
greater rotation, create several segments, then move and join them
to create a continuous run.minimum specified.
MODELING FLOOR AND CEILING OPENINGS AND ADDING RAILINGS
While the Stairs tool automatically creates all of the stair elements
needed to connect between two levels, it does not cut openings in
the floors or ceilings that separate those levels. You can create these
openings in two ways:
Use the Edit Boundary tool and adjust the floor or ceiling
boundary sketch to include the layout of the opening.
Specify the essential properties that set the height and length
of the stairthe levels of the top and bottom of the stair.

opening, the changes are automatically updated on every level.
ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES:
CREATING SIMPLE STAIRS AND RAMPS
How does changing the riser height affect the number of risers
required and as the number of risers changes, what happens to
the overall length of the stair?
Increasing the riser height decreases the total number of risers
needed since each step provides a larger gain in elevation. If
we assume a constant tread depth, the total length of the stair
decreases. This method essentially increases the slope of the
stair.

MODELING ELEVATORS AND SHAFTS
Why are stairs and elevators typically located very close to each
other?
Both stairs and elevators are essential circulation elements and
they must be easily located. If the elevators are nonoperational
and in cases of emergency, the stairs should be easy to access
from the elevator location.
It is also common to place elevators next to stairways since
they both require continuous vertical shafts.

LESSON OVERVIEW
In this lesson, students explore techniques for creating and adapting
components to model fixtures, fittings, and furniture. They will learn
how to:
Open the Revit family file using the Open command in the Revit
menu, then choose Family in the submenu.
Either method opens the Revit family editor, where you can explore
the existing forms (extrusions, blends, revolves, and sweeps) defined
in the component and edit their properties as desired to create your
component.
Be sure to save the adapted component using a new family with a
new filename to avoid accidentally overwriting the existing version.
CREATING NEW FAMILIES
You can also create new component families from scratch to model
objects that cannot be easily adapted from an existing component.
You create new components by opening the Revit family file using
the New command in the Revit menu, and then choose Family in the
submenu. Choose a template from the library that determines the
category and hosting conditions for your component, and then
define the component using tools in the Revit family editor:

over-constrain the forms by locking too many dimensions or adding
too many parametric constraints. This is a common pitfall, and Revit
will warn you when all the constraints defined cannot be met. When
this happens, examine the constraints that have been added
carefully, determine which constraints are in conflict, and remove
the constraints that are not truly needed.

While this initial set of views is typically sufficient to get started with
your modeling, your views can get crowded and confusing as you
add more elements and detail to the building model. Rather than
trying to view all of the model information in a single view, it is
typically a better practice to create many views of your model, each
focusing on the types of information needed for a particular aspect
of the design process.

MODULE SIX: VIEWS AND VISUALIZATION CONTD
The view properties vary slightly depending on the type of view, but
the options available typically allow you to set:
You can use plan regions to adjust the view range settings used for
specific areas in a plan view. This is useful when elements are not
being displayed, because they are located outside the view range
(for example, clerestory windows, which are located high on a wall
above the cutting plane of a view) or on slightly offset levels (for
example, floors in a splitlevel house).
Using the 3D View tool (which appears on the View tab in the
ribbon panel) and choosing the Default 3D View option. If this
view has already been created, it will be opened instead.
Using the 3D View tool and choosing the Camera option, which
allows you t0 specify the location and elevation of a camera
object and a target for the camera view.
Using the Elevation tool to place an elevation tag that establishes the location and direction of the new elevation views.
You can also add section boxes to your 3D views to cut away
portions of the building model so that you can see inside. Each face
of the section box acts as a cutting plane, so you can use the section
box to create a wide variety of views to share your design and show
the details of how it will be constructedfor example, 3D plans, 3D
sections, and 3D detail views.
ADJUST THE APPEARANCE OF ELEMENTS IN A VIEW
You can change the appearance of the elements that appear in any
view by adjusting the View Properties that control how objects are
displayed.
Like plan view, you can set visibility graphics overrides and adjust the
view properties to set the crop boundaries, view scale, level of

If the view has already been created, you can use the
AutodeskSteeringWheels widget walk option to back up and
see a broader view. You can also show the camera in a plan
view, and then move it farther away from the target object.
Building sections?
Exterior elevation views are useful for showing the architectural details and materials of the building facade and are often
used to illustrate the exterior architectural appearance and
features.
Interior elevation views are useful for showing the details of
elements placed on interior walls, such as moldings, cabinetry,
and fixtures.
What visual styles would you recommend for views that will be:
Project location?
Time of day?
The time of day also affects the position of the sun in the
skyrising from the east in the morning and setting to the
west in the afternoon. As the day progresses, the shadows cast
in model views change to reflect this position.

Month of year?
The month of the year also affects the path of the sun in sky.
During the summer months, the suns path is relatively high in
the sky and shadows cast at midday are typically short. During
the winter months, the suns path is relatively low in the sky,
and the shadows cast at midday are much longer.

Rendering is the process of generating an image from a model by
means of computer software. Rendering is used in architecture,
simulators, video games, movies and television visual effects and
design visualization. Rendering, the last step in an animation
process, gives the final appearance to the models and animation
with visual effects such as shading, texture-mapping, shadows,
reflections and motion blurs.

This course was also developed to introduce students to Building Information Modeling (BIM) and demonstrates
applications of its use for design representation and visualization.
Students will leverage technology to offer new ways to communicate in both 2D and 3D. (A.1). They can develop
and test alternative outcomes, through the use of building component variations using substitution techniques to
look at design alternatives (A.2). They can see spatial relationships of architectural design between 2D and 3D
design representation. (A.4). Students will create accurate plan and elevation views of architectural designs for
the purposes of creating building documentation. (B.4). Students will gain an understanding of the tectonics of
building envelope systems by creating and modifying multi-material wall assemblies and curtain systems. (B.7).
In summary and in reference to 2014 Conditions for Accreditation, if applied correctly the course should cover
the following Student Performance Criteria:
REALM A: CRITICAL THINKING AND REPRESENTATION
A.1 Professional Communication Skills: Ability to write and speak effectively and use representational media
appropriate for both within the profession and with the general public.
A.2 Design Thinking Skills: Ability to raise clear and precise questions, use abstract ideas to interpret information, consider diverse points of view, reach well-reasoned conclusions, and test alternative outcomes against
relevant criteria and standards.
A.4 Architectural Design Skills: Ability to effectively use basic formal, organizational and environmental
principles and the capacity of each to inform two- and three-dimensional design.
