Description

In this assignment, students begin developing a BIM model based on a provided floor plan. You will create an architectural template, set project levels, build exterior and interior walls, add structural elements, and load essential families. Next, insert windows, doors, dimensions, room names, and annotations.

You will also create views, set up sheet sets with the title block, and prepare printable sheets for submission.

  • Leave Level 1 at 0'-0" and modify remaining levels as needed.

2. Build the Structure

• Build exterior and interior walls, columns, and structural elements.

• Exterior walls span two levels — set proper wall constraints.

• Do not stack exterior walls.

3. Add Interior Walls

• Work on the correct plan level before drawing walls.

• Choose appropriate wall types:

  • Exterior: “Basic Wall: Exterior – Brick and CMU on Mtl. Stud”

  • Interior: “Basic Wall: Interior – 4 7/8” Partition”

• Add structural columns and stair styles as needed.

4. Insert Windows and Doors

• Use appropriate sizes based on the design.

5. Add Dimensions & Annotations

• Use room labels, dimensions, text notes, and keynote annotations.

• Model-view annotations should be scaled correctly.

• Sheet notes belong in sheet views only.

6. Set Up Project Views

Create the following:

• Plan Views

  • First Floor Plan (annotations + dimensions)

  • Second Floor Plan (annotations + dimensions)

  • First Floor Furniture Plan (FF&E)

  • Second Floor Furniture Plan (FF&E)

  • First Floor RCP

  • Second Floor RCP

7. Add Vertical Views

Minimum required:

• 4 Interior Elevations

• 2 Interior Building Sections

8. Create Sheets

• Download and load the provided title block: YU 24x36.rfa

• Create the following sheets:

  • A0 – Cover Page

  • A1 – First Floor Plan

  • A2 – Second Floor Plan

  • A3 – First Floor Furniture Plan

  • A4 – Second Floor Furniture Plan

  • A5 – First Floor RCP

  • A6 – Second Floor RCP

  • A7 – Interior Elevations

  • A8 – Interior Building Sections

  • A9 – 3D Camera Views

  • A10 – Details

9. Drafting Views, Schedules & Legends

• Create placeholders for details, legends, lighting layouts, furniture schedules, etc.

Submission Guidelines

1. Save your Revit file in native format.

2. Use file naming:
   BIDC203 Assignment1 Lastname Firstname.rvt

3. Export views and sheet PDFs.

4. Combine all PDFs into a single file.

5. Zip both RVT and PDF files:
   BIDC203 Assignment1 Lastname Firstname.zip

6. Submit before the deadline.

Assignment 2

Objectives

• Add floors and floor slabs

• Add roofs

• Add ceilings

• Add stairs

• Load families

• Place furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E)

• Update views and sheets

Description

This assignment continues the work from Assignment 1. Students will add slabs, roofs, ceilings, stairs, and FF&E components. Structural accuracy and proper family selection are key. Students must update views, annotations, and sheets accordingly.

Instructions

1. Add Ground Floor Slab

• Include thickened edges for structural accuracy.

2. Add Level 2 Slab

• Ensure alignment with wall and column layouts.

3. Add the Roof

• Choose roof type based on building design:

  • Flat

  • Gable

  • Hip

  • Etc.

4. Add Ceilings

• Select ceiling style and height that suits the design.

5. Add Stairs and Elevators

• Follow sample drawings for layout.

• Include landings and handrails.

6. Load Families

• Use built-in Revit library or online sources:

  • BIMObject

  • RevitCity

  • Herman Miller

  • Steelcase

  • Knoll

7. Place Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment

Examples:

• Cabinetry

• Countertops

• Sinks

• Appliances

• Office furniture

• Accessories

Follow code and specifications when placing components.

8. Update Views & Sheets

• Revise annotations, dimensions, and placements as needed.

Submission Guidelines

1. Save your work in native Revit format.

2. Use naming:
   BIDC203 Assignment2 Lastname Firstname.rvt

3. Export PDFs of views and sheets.

4. Combine PDFs into a single document.

5. Zip RVT + PDF files:
   BIDC203 Assignment2 Lastname Firstname.zip

6. Submit before the deadline.

Assessment Brief 

Key Assessment Requirements (concise)

• Start from an architectural Revit template and set project levels (keep Level 1 = 0’-0”).

• Model exterior and interior walls, columns, structural elements; ensure exterior walls span appropriate levels (no stacked exterior walls).

• Insert windows and doors, choosing sizes that match the design.

• Add dimensions, room names, labels, and annotations (model-view vs sheet-view placement).

• Set up required plan and vertical views and properly name them in the Project Browser.

• Create sheet sets with provided title block and place views onto A0–A10 sheets as specified.

• Export views and sheets to PDF, combine into a single PDF, package with RVT in a ZIP, and submit before the deadline.

• For Assignment 2: add ground/level-2 slabs, roof type selection, ceilings, stairs/elevator, load families, place FF&E, and update all views/sheets accordingly.

Academic Mentor’s Approach 

1. Project Start & Template Setup

• What was required: Open the architectural template and create/adjust levels.

• Mentor guidance: Instructor demonstrates creating levels, locking Level 1 at 0’-0”, and adding Level 2/roof heights. Students replicate and save a named file .

• Why it matters: Correct levels drive wall heights, floor slabs, and view references.

2. Building the Structural Core (Walls, Columns, Stairs)

• What was required: Build exterior/interior walls, place columns and structural elements; ensure exterior walls span two levels and are not stacked.

• Mentor guidance: Step-through drawing exterior walls first (set top constraints to Level 2), then draw interior partitions in the correct plan view. Demonstrate choosing appropriate system wall families (e.g., “Basic Wall: Exterior – Brick and CMU on Mtl. Stud” and “Basic Wall: Interior – 4 7/8” Partition”). Add structural columns and stair families with correct placement.

• Tip: Use temporary dimensions and align/lock to levels for robustness.

3. Windows, Doors & Family Loading

• What was required: Insert windows and doors sized to the design; load any missing families.

• Mentor guidance: Show how to load families from the Revit library, check insertion points, and set type properties (head/jamb heights). Encourage using face-hosted vs wall-hosted family types depending on wall construction.
