1. Design Development Drawings 1. Code analysis: examine needed changes 2. Draw accurate existing plans/model 3. Indicate demolition 4. Indicate new wall construction 5. Indicate new floor construction 6. Indicate new ceiling construction 7. Draw main elevations

2. Introduction to Revit Building 8.1 A cross between CAD and SketchUp Building Information Model (BIM) Everything you draw is like a 3D component with “intelligence” Open a whole project, not just a drawing Templates for residential, commercial and other projects

3. Revit interface: overview Screen has Standard tools area, pull- down menus with all command Toolbars stacked on the left Project browser next to that – has all the named views of your model, plus sheets Drawing area varies depending on the view you’re in

4. Drawing stuff Choose object to draw off the Basics menu  Set a variety of parameters  Height, offsets from the current level, construction Once you draw an object, many other tasks are automated  Interior elevations can be extracted by putting in a symbol  Sections can be drawn  Schedules can be created  Perspectives and other views For walls, figure out which wall you’d like to draw  Choose wall type  Select how it’s drawn  Start clicking  Click on Properties to add or edit the structure from basics (this can also be done later)

5. Wall Types: choose/create each one Change any one of the following and you’ve got a different wall type:  Structural composition (material and spacing) Wood or metal Spacing, dimension and gauge  Surface conditions on either side Moisture, impact, surface and applied finishes  Connection to the floor structure and finish Does the wall sit on top of the finished floor?  Continuation above the ceiling Height of wall and structure Fire rating

6. Different conditions:

7. Metal non-rated walls

8. Rated construction

9. Shaft Walls

10. What about sound?

11. Sound isolating wall construction

12. Design Approaches to wall detailing:

13. Metal framing and accessories:

14. Pre-fab construction cheaper and better but needs coordination
