Revit Family - Door

Work In Progress

Step 1

Grid Line

Grid line were carefully measured on the overall dimensions in order to be clear about the placement of columns and walls.

Step 2

Flooring

Firstly, I started off with placing a wide floor slab to elevate structure from it from ground.

Secondly, another two floor on the entrance was added for the soft-scape that was yet to be done soon

Thirdly, I also added floor for outdoor spaces and stepping planks.

Step 3

Massing

I used massing to make the curve for the centre gathering space, because it's easier to curve with different heights.

Step 4

Wall

Walls are implemented into completed massing. After that, walls are placed onto grid lines to form facade walls of different spaces.

Step 5

Roofing

To do slanted roof, I click on roof footprint option and adjust to the size that I needed. Then, proceed to turn off all the define slop except for the angle that needed to be tilt at 5 degrees. For the washroom, slanted roof wasn't necessary so I decided to go with flat roof by untick all boxes of define slop.

Placing Documentation

To form a documentation :

Step1 : Load in a A1 template given by lecturer in Times

Step 2 : Fill up the information on the right - hand side of the template.

Step 3 : Drag orthographic from the left - hand corner into the template and arrange.

First, I select New Family to load in a Metric Door

Secondly, I remove the original framing of the door as it doesn't cover the entire opening. Therefore, I deleted them

Thirdly, I line up reference lines around the door to create measurements for door framing

Sketch path is used to model the profile of the door

By modeling the the profile, I create a fitting framing around the door.

Testing out if the family stay intact

I then load in Door Handle from Hardware Family to place one side of the door handle

Using mirror tool, I drew a horizontal line across the middle and create the identical door handle.

Firstly, go to New Family and load in a Window.

Secondy, I change work plane to centre (Front/Back). To make sure window will always be placed in the centre of the wall.

To make the window frame I will need to do Extrusion.

Then, proceed to select Extrusion with rectangle tool, from corner to corner.

Then from corner to corner again but changing the offset to 10.

To make sure it will be in place, press on the reference and sketch line, lock the lockpad.

The projecting extrusion is projecting way too much. I adjust the extrusion to 10

Again, I select Extrusion with rectangle tool without offsets.

In this step, I change the panel material to glass and also edit the colour of it.

Completed Family Window

After completing, I load the family into project.

Step 1 : Go to 'View', press 'schedule'

Step 2 : Select 'Room' from Category and press 'Okay'

Step 3 : Then, select 'Area' and 'Name' from available field

1

Units Setup :

First, I check my units at the 'customize' option and press 'unit setup' to make sure it is in millimeters.

System Unit Setup stated " 1Unit = 1.0 Millimeters "

2

Auto Backup :

Then, check if the 'Auto Backup' is turn on from the 'File > Preferences > Auto Backup' .

3

Import :

Secondly, I export my Revit file to FBX then import the FBX file into 3Ds Max.

4

Camera :

By setting up camera, I choose physical camera from command panel.

5

Adjusting :

After placing camera, adjust the best angle to capture exterior elements and change the level of camera to eye-level, which is 1500.

6

Sun Placement :

To create the sun by using the Sun Positioner tool. Then, select 'camera' from 'create' option and click physical camera. After placing the sun, I adjust the compass radius to 100mm and set the Sun Position to manual.

6

Values:

Later, I select 'Rendering' and click 'Environment' with the 'Physical Sun & Sky Environment' in the 'Environment Map' section. After that, click the Render Setup tool and assign ART Renderer as the renderer. In order to get good picture, I begin to adjust the corresponding Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO Exposure Gain.

Lastly, I preview to render to see if I was satisfied with it. Then, proceed to rendering with ART Rendering and adjust the expose and contrast and brightness. After completing the render, I saved it into my file.

Interior Rendering

Physical Camera :

By using the previous 3DS Max file, place a Physical Camera at the interior and adjust the focal length to 18mm. After placing the camera, the Z height is adjusted to the eye level which is 1500mm.
