Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit / 4

Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit / 4

Week four:

                In this week I continued using “Residential Design Using Autodesk Revit 2014” book by Daniel John Stine CSI, CDT, to drawing the Roofs, Skylights, Floor systems and Reflected Celling plans.

 

Roofs:

At first, I draw a gable roof for the second floor and a gable roof element over the main entry.  A gable is the triangular roof which allows rain and snow to run off easily.

After that I draw low roof elements for the Living Room in the first floor and the Garage.

 

 

 

 

 

Skylights:

I selected “Skylight 24”x 27”from type selector and placed two of them in the roof to allows light on the roof to travel to the interior of a building. Therefore, they are useful in spaces that do not receive much natural daylight.

 

 

Floor System:

I created three deferent types of floors to each level:

 

 Basement Floor

Garage Floor

First Floor

Second Floor

 

 

 

 

Ceiling System:

Using Revit’s tools for drawing reflected ceiling plan include drawing different types of ceiling systems. I sketched the ceiling profile in the ceiling plan views, similar to how draw the floor systems and added so they show up in sections. Also, I added the lighting design and coordinated it.

 

 

Next week I will set the Elevations.
