Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit 2014 /1


Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit 2014

Autodesk Revit (Architecture, Structure and MEP) is the world’s first fully parametric building design software.


 It can be thought of as the foundation of a large process called Building Information Modeling (BIM). Moreover, Rivet stands for Revise Instantly; a change made in one view is automatically updated in all other views and schedules. Also, it comes in three different “flavors”: Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing). All three Revit products use .RVT files for storing BIM models. Typically, a building is made using 3D objects to create walls, floors, roofs, structure, windows, doors ductwork, electrical systems and other objects as needed. These parametric objects— 3D building objects (such as windows or doors) or 2D drafting objects (such as fasteners)— are called "families" and are saved in .RFA files, and imported into the RVT database as needed (Stine).

 

Charles River Software was founded in Newton, Massachusetts, October 31, 1997 by Leonid Raiz and Irwin Jungreis, key developers of Parametric Technology's Pro/Engineer software for mechanical design, with the intent of bringing the power of parametric modeling to the building industry. The company was renamed Revit Technology Corporation in January, 2000, and Revit version 1.0 was released on April 5, 2000. In 2012, Revit LT became the newest version of Revit on the market (contributors).

My Project is to design a two- story residence located in a suburban setting.  The first step is to create a new project file and enter the basic project information, such as client name, project address, etc.
 
 
 The second step is to design the first floor plan by drawing the exterior walls first and then the interior walls.
