In addition, you can use the Transfer Project Standards tool to move standards from one project to another. In this lesson, you modified settings, loaded components, and saved them to a template.
By investing the time to individualize your template, you help ensure the office standards are maintained and reduce repetitive work that would be done by each employee for each project.
The imported file is used as a background template for creating the structural elements of the model. NOTE For training purposes, some structural columns were added to the model at off-grid locations in conjunction with architectural columns.
Notice that Level 2 is bold. This is the active view that displays in the drawing area. The file becomes view specific and will behave like an annotation. Selecting Link instead of import allows you to view, drag, copy, paste, and rotate the view as one object.
However, you cannot select individual elements in the linked model. The halftone of the imported drawing is used as a background for placing columns. You can save the open file if you wish. Exterior facade outlines, stairs, and elevator opening symbols, and a few basic interior walls and doors display in the view. Notice the column adjusts to the change.
You can save the open file if desired. Linking a Revit Building File In this exercise, you learn how to link to a 3-dimensional 3D drawing created in Revit Building for use as a background. You can copy grids, levels, columns, walls, and floors from the original design and monitor any changes made to those elements. Exterior facade outlines, stairs and elevator opening symbols, and a few basic interior walls and doors display in the view.
This is the keyboard shortcut for Zoom to Fit. Elements available for monitoring are separated into 5 categories Levels, Grids, Columns, Walls, and Floors. On each tab the Original Type column identifies the type for the Revit Building file, and the New Type for the corresponding element available in the template selected. Each tab provides various parameters that can be set for that specific element. Also, you can exclude element types you do not want to copy.
NOTE Architectural columns typically extend through multiple layers of a model. A column may span from level 1 to level 10 of a structure and may present a problem when the analytical model is generated. Therefore, columns need to be split at each level. To select more than one grid, click Multiple on the Options toolbar, press Ctrl, while making selections.
After you select the grid, an eyeball symbol is displayed to indicate a relationship with the original element. NOTE A warning message may indicate that the loaded type has been renamed. The warning can be ignored. To select more than one level, click Multiple on the Options toolbar, press Ctrl, and select each level.
NOTE If you are prompted that the element type already exists in the project, and that the type from the new project will be used, click OK. To select more than one element, click Multiple on the Options toolbar, press Ctrl, and select each element. After selecting each element, an eyeball symbol is displayed to indicate a relationship with the original element. NOTE All copied elements are monitored for possible changes. The coordination monitor function provides notification that updates have occurred.
In the next tutorial, a new dataset is supplied. You begin by adding columns from Ground Level to Level 2. You copy columns and use the paste-align command to add structure to other levels. You also learn how to splice the columns. After you copy columns, you add horizontal framing to an area of Level 2, and then copy this framing to other levels. Completed model Adding Grid Lines to the Imported Drawing In this exercise, the imported drawing is a halftone, that you use as a background drawing for placing columns.
Notice the grid line is highlighted with a blue value within the grid head. As you select subsequent grid lines, they are labelled in alphabetical sequence. Notice it is labeled B. Zoom in and out as needed. The last vertical grid is K. Notice it is grid L. Notice that the sequencing has adjusted from alphabetical to numeric. The bottom grid should be grid 5.
Adding Structural Columns In this exercise, you load a new column type from the Revit Structure Library and add columns at each grid intersection. These columns extend from an elevation to a splice elevation just above Level 2. This is the shortcut key for Zoom to Fit. NOTE When you use the Grid Intersection tool to place columns, Revit Structure places the tops of the columns at the current level, and the bases of the columns at the level below.
Notice that columns are placed at each grid intersection. In addition, there are a few extraneous columns on grid line intersections that are exterior to the structure. TIP You may have to zoom into the grid intersection to right-click one of the columns.
A welded connection graphically adds a splice symbol to the columns. In a coarse detail view, the welded connection is visible as 2 vertical lines at the splice location. NOTE If necessary, you can adjust the height by clicking the temporary dimension and modifying the level elevation.
Level 3 should be mm above Level 2. Notice the new level is named Level 3. A new structural plan view by the same name is also created and listed within the Project Browser.
Level 4 should be mm above Level 3 with an elevation of mm. Adjust location of the grid 18 Select grid head A. All of the structural columns in the model remain selected. Add Horizontal Framing to the Levels In this exercise, you frame 4 bays of Level 2 by adding horizontal members and a steel deck. Add girders 4 On the View Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the east area of the structure as shown.
TIP Place the cursor over a grid and the tooltip displays the grid name. Copy the girders to levels above 17 On the Edit menu, click Copy to Clipboard. NOTE If necessary, you can select the crop region and drag the extents to adjust the extents of the view. Notice the copied beams on levels 3 and 4. Then select the 3 girders that surround the upper-left bay as shown. The longitudinal axis of the beam system members will be placed parallel to these lines.
In the next step you edit the beam direction. NOTE In the image above and all subsequent images, the framing tag visibility has been turned off for training purposes. In your dataset, the framing tags display. Copy the beam systems to levels above 47 Hold the cursor over grid line H of the lower-left beam system, and press TAB until the beam system highlights. NOTE A beam system displays with dashed lines as shown. Be sure that you have selected a beam system not just a beam when copying elements to other levels.
You will need to cycle through some of the elements in your model by pressing TAB as explained above. Beam system displays with dashed lines 48 Right-click on the beam system, and click Select All Instances.
Notice the copied beam systems. Revit Structure provides a deck span direction symbol when the deck is placed. The filled half-arrows of this symbol represent the span of the deck. Rotate the span direction 62 Select the span direction symbol.
The span direction arrows are parallel and just beneath grid line 3. Notice the span direction arrows have rotated 90 degrees and are now vertical. Copy the slab to other levels 65 Select the slab. Add Bracing In this exercise, you add vertical bracing to a bay. Use the Status Bar to see the snap point.
TIP After sketching the walls, you can select a wall and use the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge the wall to a particular location. Adding Isolated Foundations In this exercise, you add isolated foundations to column locations.
NOTE In the following image, the curtain wall visibility was altered for training purposes. In your dataset, the imported DWG file does not display in this view. By default, the footing is placed at Ground Level. Completing the Structural Model In previous lessons, you have added columns and horizontal framing to your model. In the exercises that follow, you complete the structural model, adding horizontal framing, bracing, openings, foundation, and concrete wall framing.
Complete the Steel Framing of Level 2 In this exercise, you complete the horizontal framing of Level 2 by adding girders and beam systems, as well as cantilevers and outriggers. NOTE Although you previously added girders to the structural model, using the grid tool does not duplicate girders at these locations.
Manually add additional beams 8 Zoom around the bay in the upper-left corner of the model. Notice that framing tags no longer display within this view. Specify the top of steel 13 Zoom around the bay in the upper-left corner of the model.
TIP Use the Trim tool to clean up gaps in the loop or overlapping intersections. NOTE Make sure the beam direction is horizontal. Use the Beam Direction tool to make adjustments.
TIP Use the Trim tool to trim the lower beam and properly place the beam direction. If a warning appears indicating that pinned objects were deleted, ignore it. NOTE You can save the open file if you wish. Rather than add beam systems to the dozens of bays within this model, a new dataset is provided in the next step with the beam systems added as shown. In this new dataset, beam systems have been added to all bays. The visibility of structural framing tags has been turned off in the Level 2 plan view.
In addition, the structural framing on levels 3 and 4 that you built in the first lesson of this tutorial have been deleted for training purposes. Lastly, the base offset of the structural columns on the lower level has been set to zero so they will attach to the footings.
Add cantilevers at columns 33 Select column A1 as the beam start point. Add intermediate cantilevers 37 Sketch intermediate beams between the outrigger and the beam between A1 and A2 as shown.
In the next exercise, a new dataset is supplied. Adding a Steel Deck In this exercise, you add a steel deck to the model. In this dataset, additional cantilever beams and outriggers were added to the model. In addition, the following new levels were added: 5, 6, 7, Roof, Garage Level-1, and Foundation. The pre-existing columns were paste-aligned to the roof level.
When sketching this deck, you can use a combination of lines including; sketched, picked, straight, and arced. TIP To sketch lines along the lower arced wall, select Chain on the Options Bar, and sketch a chain of continuous line segments.
This is the keyboard shortcut for Shading with Edges. Adding Shafts In this exercise, you add elevator and stair openings to Level 2. If it is not, use the View Control Bar to make the change. This is the keyboard shortcut for wireframe.
The Design Bar changes to Sketch mode. TIP When sketching the shafts, use the Lines tool in combination with the pick option and select the external face of the walls imported with the DWG file. Use the Trim tool to clean up gaps and intersections. Duplicating Framing In this exercise, you copy Level 2 framing to other levels. Copied levels with stair and elevator openings Modify roof and framing 9 In the Project Browser, under Structural Plans, double-click Roof.
NOTE In the image shown above, the weight of the sketch lines was increased for training purposes. Ignore the warning that pinned objects were deleted.
Add cantilever beams and outriggers 16 Zoom in on the former atrium area as shown. Copy roof framing and slab to levels 6 and 7 20 Zoom out until you can see the entire model within the drawing area.
Notice the atrium columns on levels 6 and 7 need to be deleted. This is done for you in the next dataset. Adding a Roof In this exercise, you create a roof above level 7. NOTE Level 7 is selected so you can see the footprint of the slab.
If the roof is required to provide these properties for analysis, select the Slab command under the Modelling tab of the Design Bar. Trace the outline for the roof 8 Select the exterior edge of the steel deck, using the following illustration for guidance.
Adding an Opening In this exercise, you add an opening doorway to the structural walls of the emergency stairway. The opening is then copied to each level. Adding an Opening in a Beam In this exercise, you add an opening in selected beams by modifying the beam type in the Family Editor, and importing the revised beam into the project. This is the beam type that requires the opening. The beam is displayed in a new window. The Front elevation of the beam is displayed. The centerline of the circle is now visible.
NOTE Aligning and locking the centerline of the circle to the reference plane ensures the circle will remain in the center of the beam, regardless of the length. The extrusion is displayed as a cylinder. The project file reopens. Adding Foundation Walls In this exercise, you add structural walls. You add these walls using the Ground Level view, and walls are generated downward to the Foundation.
In this new dataset, the atrium columns on levels 6 and 7 have been deleted. In addition, modified structural framing and slabs have been copied to levels 2 and 3 to accommodate the front lobby and atrium. A roof has been added over Level 7. Openings have been added to both the stairway, and a structural beam. Lastly, the footings added at the beginning of the tutorial were deleted to make way for piers.
The imported DWG file was copied and paste-aligned to this level for you. A foundation wall is added and aligned with the wall centerline. Sketch the remaining foundation walls 7 On the Options Bar, click , and select Chain. Use the center of the curtain wall lines in the DWG file as an underlay to trace over. On portions of the south wall, you can use an arc or a chain of small wall segments. Adding Piers or Pilasters In this exercise, you add piers or pilasters and concrete columns at each steel column location.
If you select all the grid lines and add columns to all intersections, make sure you delete the columns outside the structure perimeter. In addition, you will still need to manually add piers to the locations that are not on a grid line, such as the atrium.
Concrete pier centered on steel column 6 On the Design Bar, click Modify. This provides a better view of the new below-grade piers. Frame Ground Level and Parking Garage Level In this exercise, you frame the garage and ground levels by adding slabs, sloped slabs, and concrete beam framing. If necessary, use the flip controls to toggle to the exterior face. NOTE When prompted whether you want to attach the walls beneath the slab to the bottom of the slab.
Click Yes. This prevents a beam being added between the atrium at G1 and G3. NOTE If you are warned of a problem with keeping elements joined, expand the warning and select the framing element. It will display as selected in the drawing area. It is most likely a segment that can be deleted or unjoined. Resolve the problem by clicking the appropriate solution. Notice the copied elements are selected.
NOTE Ignore the warning regarding the analytical point of the beam and slab. Add a wall opening at the garage entrance 59 On the View Toolbar, click , and zoom in on the wall that faces the end of the new ramp. When you are adding a wall opening, there are no drawing tools to select. You can immediately draw the rectangular opening.
NOTE Depending on where you draw the opening, you may get a warning message that elements cannot remain joined. In this case, click Unjoin Elements, and continue with the next step. Notice that you can adjust the opening extents using the controls. Placing a Wall Foundation In this exercise, you add a continuous foundation beneath the exterior walls of the structural model.
In addition, you add an isolated foundation beneath the piers. Edit foundation properties 5 Right-click one of the foundation walls. You have completed the Creating a Structural Model tutorial.
In the next tutorial a new dataset is supplied. In the first lesson, you add a precast concrete beam system to an existing project. You then modify the precast beam type within the Revit Structure family editor. Adding a Beam System to the Structure In this exercise, you add a precast beam system to the roof of an existing structure.
NOTE The dotted lines represent the beam system direction. The beam system is displayed. Changing the Beam System Properties In this exercise, you change the construction properties so the beam system will extend to the concrete support beam. Changing the Beam System Clear Spacing In this exercise, you change clear spacing of the beam system to adjust the gap between each beam.
Notice the spacing between each precast beam. Notice the clear spacing between each precast beam is removed. Modifying the Precast Beam Family In this lesson, you add a chamfer to the existing double-tee beam family. Adding a Chamfer to the Beam In this exercise, you open the precast beam within the family editor and add a chamfer to both beam supports. You then import the revised beam back into the project.
Open the beam type for editing 1 Click one of the precast beams as shown. The reference planes and dimensions are now visible. Zoom in on the left tee of the beam 11 On the View Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the left tee of the beam.
NOTE The dimensions should be visible under normal circumstances but are purposely hidden for this demo. Draw horizontal reference plane 13 On the Design bar, click Ref Plane. Add dimensions to each reference plane 29 On the Design Bar, click Dimension. Align the bottom horizontal surface of the beam 35 On the View Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the left tee of the beam. Sketch new profile 43 Select the angled line as shown.
Flex the design 53 On the Design bar, click Family Types. The beam should adapt to all changes. If it does not, fix any problems with alignment or constraints. Notice the project file becomes active and the beam updates with the latest changes. To create a printed or plotted set of drawings from the views in your structural model, begin by first creating sheets, which are a type of view in a project. Sheets are defined by borders, usually contain a title block, and are accessible from the Project Browser.
Depending on the type of drawing that you want to create, you can add different views of the model directly to the sheet. The model views that you can add to sheets include plan, section, elevation, and three-dimensional 3D views. The project used in the following exercises is the same one used in the previous lesson.
Creating a Drawing Sheet In this exercise, you create a drawing sheet that includes a plan view, 3D view, and section views. Sheet views update automatically when you modify your model. A title block and drawing borders are displayed on the drawing sheet. The title block that you selected is a family that has already been loaded into the project.
The text fields in the title block family shown below contain labels that automatically display the corresponding project information that you entered. NOTE The Project Path parameter in the lower-right corner of the sheet view automatically updates every time the project file is saved. The new sheet is displayed in the Project Browser with the name S-2 - Unnamed. Change the sheet name and number in the title block 10 On the Design Bar, click Modify, and select the title block.
The sheet name and number are displayed in the title block and in the Project Browser. The scale of the view on the sheet changes. If you were to open the Structural Plan: Level 2, right-click, and click View Properties, you would see that the scale plan view is now NOTE If necessary, you can select the view title separately and move it to a new position.
Adding a Sheet to the Project In this exercise, you add a new sheet to the project, add a section view, and adjust the scale of the view. Creating New Views to Add to Sheets In this exercise, you learn how to create a new section view and a new callout view, and then add them to a new drawing sheet. Using Legends Legends provide a way to display a list of the various structural components and annotations used in a project. The two most common types of legends produced for construction documents are annotation legends and building component legends.
Annotation legends are made up of components such as section markers which are paired with text that identifies them. On construction documents, annotation legends are often referred to as symbol legends.
Legends list and identify components such as weld symbols and rebar tags. On construction documents, component legends are often called schedules beam schedule, concrete schedule, and so on. Creating a Symbol Legend In this exercise, you create a legend view and add symbols and text to it, using a text type you create by duplicating an existing text type and modifying the type properties.
Finally, you add the completed symbol legend to a sheet for the construction documents. You do this by duplicating an existing text type and modifying the type properties. On the Design Bar, click Text. Add text to the legend 13 In the Type Selector, verify that Text: 3mm is selected, and click to the right of the first symbol to specify the text start point. When you schedule structural components in Revit Structure, you can list each component as a separate line item an instance schedule , or you can group components of the same type into a single line item a type schedule.
Creating Shared Parameters In this exercise you learn how to use shared parameters to define additional elements that are usually not included in the beam schedule when it is created within the project template.
Shared parameters can be added to any family, regardless of category, and are defined and stored in an external file, ensuring consistency across families and projects. Their values may also be aggregated and reported within Revit Structure multi-category schedules.
An example of the use of shared parameters is the need to add width and height information to a beam family component originally defined as a family parameter. The following exercise demonstrates the solution for this situation and covers the process of setting up shared parameters and adding them to a family.
NOTE Some beams have been added to this view to better demonstrate the scheduling tool. The selected beam family is displayed in the drawing area. Click Save. NOTE The b and h parameters, which were originally family parameters, are now shared parameters. They will appear in the structural framing schedule field once they are reloaded into the project file. Define the fields to display as columns in the beam schedule 4 In the Schedule Properties dialog, click the Fields tab.
The Mark field is moved under Scheduled fields. NOTE Rebar is now a project parameter that can also be found in the properties of any structural framing component. A schedule is created that includes all structural framing elements in the project.
Customizing the Schedule In this exercise, you learn how to customize the new beam schedule. Notice that the schedule name has changed. A new blank cell is created above columns W and D. Selecting a filter 5 Right-click the open area next to the schedule, and select View Properties. Notice the schedule is filtered and shows only the structural framing elements of the ground level. The schedule is updated to provide both a header and footer for each type, sorted by structural usage.
Formatting Units In this exercise, you change the format for displaying units in the beam schedule. Columns W and D now display 2 decimal places. Entering Marks and Rebar Data In this exercise, the schedule is modified to include the mark value assigned to each beam element as well as specific rebar data.
The screen is split into two separate windows, showing both the beam schedule and Ground Level view. NOTE Close any additional views that may be opened. If prompted to save the changes to the beam family, click Yes, and provide a location for the new family file.
The schedule is updated with the joist information. Note that the formula will calculate the total cost based on a length unit of 1mm. Beacause cost is a type parameter, the value will be applied to all elements of the same type. When the notification box is displayed, cick OK to accept the change. The schedule will calculate the total cost for all girders. NOTE The cost value represents a random value chosen for demonstration purposes only.
Also notice that the Total Cost parameter does not have a unit value assigned. In Revit Structure, the number type cannot be assigned a dollar value. Because cost is a type parameter, the value will be applied to all elements of the same type.
When the notification box is displayed, click OK to accept the change. The schedule will calculate the total cost for the joists. The schedule now includes the sum for Total Cost. Resorting the Schedule In this exercise, you group the beams by similar instances, and then resort by the beam mark. Notice the schedule is not itemized and does not show each beam, but instead groups all the beams of the same mark in a single row. The Total Cost column is now hidden.
Creating a Graphical Column Schedule In this lesson, you learn how to create a graphical column schedule for the current project. The schedule is created. Notice that the first level on the schedule is Level 2.
Change the Schedule Appearance In this exercise, you learn how to add a title to the schedule and how to customize text and graphic appearance. Tagging the Columns In this exercise, you learn how to tag each steel column in the schedule. Splitting the Columns into Segments In this exercise, you split the column schedule horizontally to create multiple segments.
The schedule is split into 4 segments with 10 column locations per segment. Creating Multiple Sheets for the Graphical Column Schedule In this exercise, you create multiple sheets for the graphical column schedule. A titleblock and drawing borders are displayed on the drawing sheet.
The new sheet is displayed in the Project Browser. Change the sheet name and number 4 On the Design Bar, click Modify, and select the titleblock. The sheet name and number are displayed in the titleblock and in the Project Browser.
The first segment will be placed on Sheet S The process that you use to export the database is similar for any other ODBC-compliant database. Revit Structure creates 2 tables: one that lists all of the element instances in a project, and one that lists all of the element types in a project see below.
A unique element ID is used to identify exported elements, so that each table of elements includes an ID column. Elements IDs are also used to establish relationships between elements in different tables. Detail drawings describe how particular pieces of the structure go together and are typically created in the middle to later portion of the design process after the general building shape and structural elements have been decided upon. You cut a section in plan, revise an existing elevation view, revise a callout view, and add these views to a sheet.
A callout symbol is located in this view at the south wall. Detailing Steel In this lesson, you add a welded bracing detail, a bolted angle detail, and a facade support detail to the model. The first part of the exercise involves adding a plate to the underside of a beam to support the bracing. You will sketch the lines in a model view. TIP After establishing the line direction, enter the value.
A line displays that is offset from the highlighted line. The weld symbol has 4 numerical parameters that are currently set to 0. Repeat for the left bottom value. Repeat for the right bottom value. In the first part of the exercise, you add 2 angles to the model using an angle family that has been loaded into the project. Then, you add some annotations. In this exercise, you add members to support exterior wall glazing. On the right side of the view is an imported symbol that represents a curtain wall.
You will attach a channel in section to the outrigger for use as a member of the facade support system. In the next lesson, a new dataset is supplied.
Creating a Drafting View Detail In this lesson, you learn how to create a drafting view detail for a deck span transition using the drafting tools provided in Revit Structure. Detail drawings show how particular pieces of the structure go together and are typically created in the middle to later portion of the design process after the general building shape and structural elements have been decided upon.
You cut 2 sections in plan, revise an existing elevation view, revise a callout view, and add these views to a drawing sheet. Model Based Concrete Detail Examples In this lesson, you sketch rebar on a footing detail, and add area reinforcement to a wall and a concrete slab using the Revit Structure drafting tools and the area reinforcement tool. NOTE The line weights in your file may differ from the examples shown.
Some of the rebar line weights were increased in the illustrations for training purposes. Add wall keys at the bottom of wall 6 On the Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the wall footing as shown. Sketch 3 lines as shown. The Design Bar changes to sketch mode.
NOTE Be sure to sketch from the footing to the wall. Place rebar set 29 Select the single rebar. The vertical snapping plane of the bar is highlighted. Kibana offers analytics and a search dashboard for Elasticsearch, as well as visualisation capabilities for data stored in Elasticsearch.

This Self-Assessment has been developed to improve understanding of the requirements and elements of Autodesk Revit, based on best practices and standards in business process architecture, design and quality management. It is designed to allow for a rapid Self-Assessment to determine how closely existing management practices and procedures correspond to the elements of the Self-Assessment. The criteria of requirements and elements of Autodesk Revit have been rephrased in the format of a Self-Assessment questionnaire, with a seven-criterion scoring system, as explained in this document.
In this format, even with limited background knowledge of Autodesk Revit, a manager can quickly review existing operations to determine how they measure up to the standards. On the following pages are a series of questions to identify to what extent your Autodesk Revit initiative is complete in comparison to the requirements set in standards. This obviously will take more time, most Self-Assessment users opt for the first way to interpret the question and dig deeper later on based on the outcome of the overall Self-Assessment.
Write your score in the space provided. After you have responded to all the appropriate statements in each section, compute your average score for that section, using the formula provided, and round to the nearest tenth. Then transfer to the corresponding spoke in the Autodesk Revit Scorecard on the second next page of the Self-Assessment.

Exploring Autodesk Revit Structure Manually add additional beams 8 Zoom around the bay in the upper-left corner of the model. Notice that framing tags no longer display within this view. Specify the top of steel 13 Zoom around the bay in the upper-left corner of the model.
TIP Use the Trim tool to clean up gaps in the loop or overlapping intersections. NOTE Make sure the beam direction is horizontal. Use the Beam Direction tool to make adjustments.
TIP Use the Trim tool to trim the lower beam and properly place the beam direction. If a warning appears indicating that pinned objects were deleted, ignore it. NOTE You can save the open file if you wish. Rather than add beam systems to the dozens of bays within this model, a new dataset is provided in the next step with the beam systems added as shown. In this new dataset, beam systems have been added to all bays. The visibility of structural framing tags has been turned off in the Level 2 plan view.
In addition, the structural framing on levels 3 and 4 that you built in the first lesson of this tutorial have been deleted for training purposes. Lastly, the base offset of the structural columns on the lower level has been set to zero so they will attach to the footings.
Add cantilevers at columns 33 Select column A1 as the beam start point. Add intermediate cantilevers 37 Sketch intermediate beams between the outrigger and the beam between A1 and A2 as shown. In the next exercise, a new dataset is supplied. Adding a Steel Deck In this exercise, you add a steel deck to the model.
In this dataset, additional cantilever beams and outriggers were added to the model. In addition, the following new levels were added: 5, 6, 7, Roof, Garage Level-1, and Foundation. The pre-existing columns were paste-aligned to the roof level. When sketching this deck, you can use a combination of lines including; sketched, picked, straight, and arced.
TIP To sketch lines along the lower arced wall, select Chain on the Options Bar, and sketch a chain of continuous line segments. This is the keyboard shortcut for Shading with Edges. Adding Shafts In this exercise, you add elevator and stair openings to Level 2.
If it is not, use the View Control Bar to make the change. This is the keyboard shortcut for wireframe. The Design Bar changes to Sketch mode. TIP When sketching the shafts, use the Lines tool in combination with the pick option and select the external face of the walls imported with the DWG file. Use the Trim tool to clean up gaps and intersections. Duplicating Framing In this exercise, you copy Level 2 framing to other levels. Copied levels with stair and elevator openings Modify roof and framing 9 In the Project Browser, under Structural Plans, double-click Roof.
NOTE In the image shown above, the weight of the sketch lines was increased for training purposes. Ignore the warning that pinned objects were deleted. Add cantilever beams and outriggers 16 Zoom in on the former atrium area as shown.
Copy roof framing and slab to levels 6 and 7 20 Zoom out until you can see the entire model within the drawing area. Notice the atrium columns on levels 6 and 7 need to be deleted. This is done for you in the next dataset. Adding a Roof In this exercise, you create a roof above level 7. NOTE Level 7 is selected so you can see the footprint of the slab.
If the roof is required to provide these properties for analysis, select the Slab command under the Modelling tab of the Design Bar. Trace the outline for the roof 8 Select the exterior edge of the steel deck, using the following illustration for guidance. Adding an Opening In this exercise, you add an opening doorway to the structural walls of the emergency stairway.
The opening is then copied to each level. Adding an Opening in a Beam In this exercise, you add an opening in selected beams by modifying the beam type in the Family Editor, and importing the revised beam into the project. This is the beam type that requires the opening.
The beam is displayed in a new window. The Front elevation of the beam is displayed. The centerline of the circle is now visible. NOTE Aligning and locking the centerline of the circle to the reference plane ensures the circle will remain in the center of the beam, regardless of the length.
The extrusion is displayed as a cylinder. The project file reopens. Adding Foundation Walls In this exercise, you add structural walls. You add these walls using the Ground Level view, and walls are generated downward to the Foundation. In this new dataset, the atrium columns on levels 6 and 7 have been deleted.
In addition, modified structural framing and slabs have been copied to levels 2 and 3 to accommodate the front lobby and atrium. A roof has been added over Level 7. Openings have been added to both the stairway, and a structural beam. Lastly, the footings added at the beginning of the tutorial were deleted to make way for piers.
The imported DWG file was copied and paste-aligned to this level for you. A foundation wall is added and aligned with the wall centerline. Sketch the remaining foundation walls 7 On the Options Bar, click , and select Chain. Use the center of the curtain wall lines in the DWG file as an underlay to trace over.
On portions of the south wall, you can use an arc or a chain of small wall segments. Adding Piers or Pilasters In this exercise, you add piers or pilasters and concrete columns at each steel column location. If you select all the grid lines and add columns to all intersections, make sure you delete the columns outside the structure perimeter. In addition, you will still need to manually add piers to the locations that are not on a grid line, such as the atrium.
Concrete pier centered on steel column 6 On the Design Bar, click Modify. This provides a better view of the new below-grade piers.
Frame Ground Level and Parking Garage Level In this exercise, you frame the garage and ground levels by adding slabs, sloped slabs, and concrete beam framing. If necessary, use the flip controls to toggle to the exterior face. NOTE When prompted whether you want to attach the walls beneath the slab to the bottom of the slab.
Click Yes. This prevents a beam being added between the atrium at G1 and G3. NOTE If you are warned of a problem with keeping elements joined, expand the warning and select the framing element. It will display as selected in the drawing area. It is most likely a segment that can be deleted or unjoined. Resolve the problem by clicking the appropriate solution. Notice the copied elements are selected. NOTE Ignore the warning regarding the analytical point of the beam and slab.
Add a wall opening at the garage entrance 59 On the View Toolbar, click , and zoom in on the wall that faces the end of the new ramp. When you are adding a wall opening, there are no drawing tools to select.
You can immediately draw the rectangular opening. NOTE Depending on where you draw the opening, you may get a warning message that elements cannot remain joined. In this case, click Unjoin Elements, and continue with the next step. Notice that you can adjust the opening extents using the controls. Placing a Wall Foundation In this exercise, you add a continuous foundation beneath the exterior walls of the structural model. In addition, you add an isolated foundation beneath the piers.
Edit foundation properties 5 Right-click one of the foundation walls. You have completed the Creating a Structural Model tutorial. In the next tutorial a new dataset is supplied. In the first lesson, you add a precast concrete beam system to an existing project. You then modify the precast beam type within the Revit Structure family editor. Adding a Beam System to the Structure In this exercise, you add a precast beam system to the roof of an existing structure. NOTE The dotted lines represent the beam system direction.
The beam system is displayed. Changing the Beam System Properties In this exercise, you change the construction properties so the beam system will extend to the concrete support beam.
Changing the Beam System Clear Spacing In this exercise, you change clear spacing of the beam system to adjust the gap between each beam. Notice the spacing between each precast beam.
Notice the clear spacing between each precast beam is removed. Modifying the Precast Beam Family In this lesson, you add a chamfer to the existing double-tee beam family. Adding a Chamfer to the Beam In this exercise, you open the precast beam within the family editor and add a chamfer to both beam supports.
You then import the revised beam back into the project. Open the beam type for editing 1 Click one of the precast beams as shown. The reference planes and dimensions are now visible.
Zoom in on the left tee of the beam 11 On the View Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the left tee of the beam. NOTE The dimensions should be visible under normal circumstances but are purposely hidden for this demo. Draw horizontal reference plane 13 On the Design bar, click Ref Plane. Add dimensions to each reference plane 29 On the Design Bar, click Dimension. Align the bottom horizontal surface of the beam 35 On the View Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the left tee of the beam.
Sketch new profile 43 Select the angled line as shown. Flex the design 53 On the Design bar, click Family Types. The beam should adapt to all changes. If it does not, fix any problems with alignment or constraints. Notice the project file becomes active and the beam updates with the latest changes. To create a printed or plotted set of drawings from the views in your structural model, begin by first creating sheets, which are a type of view in a project.
Sheets are defined by borders, usually contain a title block, and are accessible from the Project Browser. Depending on the type of drawing that you want to create, you can add different views of the model directly to the sheet. The model views that you can add to sheets include plan, section, elevation, and three-dimensional 3D views.
The project used in the following exercises is the same one used in the previous lesson. Creating a Drawing Sheet In this exercise, you create a drawing sheet that includes a plan view, 3D view, and section views. Sheet views update automatically when you modify your model. A title block and drawing borders are displayed on the drawing sheet. The title block that you selected is a family that has already been loaded into the project. The text fields in the title block family shown below contain labels that automatically display the corresponding project information that you entered.
NOTE The Project Path parameter in the lower-right corner of the sheet view automatically updates every time the project file is saved.
The new sheet is displayed in the Project Browser with the name S-2 - Unnamed. Change the sheet name and number in the title block 10 On the Design Bar, click Modify, and select the title block. The sheet name and number are displayed in the title block and in the Project Browser.
The scale of the view on the sheet changes. If you were to open the Structural Plan: Level 2, right-click, and click View Properties, you would see that the scale plan view is now NOTE If necessary, you can select the view title separately and move it to a new position.
Adding a Sheet to the Project In this exercise, you add a new sheet to the project, add a section view, and adjust the scale of the view. Creating New Views to Add to Sheets In this exercise, you learn how to create a new section view and a new callout view, and then add them to a new drawing sheet.
Using Legends Legends provide a way to display a list of the various structural components and annotations used in a project. The two most common types of legends produced for construction documents are annotation legends and building component legends.
Annotation legends are made up of components such as section markers which are paired with text that identifies them. On construction documents, annotation legends are often referred to as symbol legends. Legends list and identify components such as weld symbols and rebar tags. On construction documents, component legends are often called schedules beam schedule, concrete schedule, and so on. Creating a Symbol Legend In this exercise, you create a legend view and add symbols and text to it, using a text type you create by duplicating an existing text type and modifying the type properties.
Finally, you add the completed symbol legend to a sheet for the construction documents. You do this by duplicating an existing text type and modifying the type properties.
On the Design Bar, click Text. Add text to the legend 13 In the Type Selector, verify that Text: 3mm is selected, and click to the right of the first symbol to specify the text start point. When you schedule structural components in Revit Structure, you can list each component as a separate line item an instance schedule , or you can group components of the same type into a single line item a type schedule. Creating Shared Parameters In this exercise you learn how to use shared parameters to define additional elements that are usually not included in the beam schedule when it is created within the project template.
Shared parameters can be added to any family, regardless of category, and are defined and stored in an external file, ensuring consistency across families and projects. Their values may also be aggregated and reported within Revit Structure multi-category schedules. An example of the use of shared parameters is the need to add width and height information to a beam family component originally defined as a family parameter.
The following exercise demonstrates the solution for this situation and covers the process of setting up shared parameters and adding them to a family. NOTE Some beams have been added to this view to better demonstrate the scheduling tool. The selected beam family is displayed in the drawing area. Click Save. NOTE The b and h parameters, which were originally family parameters, are now shared parameters. They will appear in the structural framing schedule field once they are reloaded into the project file.
Define the fields to display as columns in the beam schedule 4 In the Schedule Properties dialog, click the Fields tab. The Mark field is moved under Scheduled fields. NOTE Rebar is now a project parameter that can also be found in the properties of any structural framing component. A schedule is created that includes all structural framing elements in the project.
Customizing the Schedule In this exercise, you learn how to customize the new beam schedule. Notice that the schedule name has changed. A new blank cell is created above columns W and D.
Selecting a filter 5 Right-click the open area next to the schedule, and select View Properties. Notice the schedule is filtered and shows only the structural framing elements of the ground level. The schedule is updated to provide both a header and footer for each type, sorted by structural usage. Formatting Units In this exercise, you change the format for displaying units in the beam schedule.
Columns W and D now display 2 decimal places. Entering Marks and Rebar Data In this exercise, the schedule is modified to include the mark value assigned to each beam element as well as specific rebar data.
The screen is split into two separate windows, showing both the beam schedule and Ground Level view. NOTE Close any additional views that may be opened. If prompted to save the changes to the beam family, click Yes, and provide a location for the new family file. The schedule is updated with the joist information. Note that the formula will calculate the total cost based on a length unit of 1mm. Beacause cost is a type parameter, the value will be applied to all elements of the same type.
When the notification box is displayed, cick OK to accept the change. The schedule will calculate the total cost for all girders. NOTE The cost value represents a random value chosen for demonstration purposes only.
Also notice that the Total Cost parameter does not have a unit value assigned. In Revit Structure, the number type cannot be assigned a dollar value. Because cost is a type parameter, the value will be applied to all elements of the same type. When the notification box is displayed, click OK to accept the change. The schedule will calculate the total cost for the joists.
The schedule now includes the sum for Total Cost. Resorting the Schedule In this exercise, you group the beams by similar instances, and then resort by the beam mark. Notice the schedule is not itemized and does not show each beam, but instead groups all the beams of the same mark in a single row.
The Total Cost column is now hidden. Creating a Graphical Column Schedule In this lesson, you learn how to create a graphical column schedule for the current project. The schedule is created. Notice that the first level on the schedule is Level 2. Change the Schedule Appearance In this exercise, you learn how to add a title to the schedule and how to customize text and graphic appearance.
Tagging the Columns In this exercise, you learn how to tag each steel column in the schedule. Splitting the Columns into Segments In this exercise, you split the column schedule horizontally to create multiple segments.
The schedule is split into 4 segments with 10 column locations per segment. Creating Multiple Sheets for the Graphical Column Schedule In this exercise, you create multiple sheets for the graphical column schedule. A titleblock and drawing borders are displayed on the drawing sheet.
The new sheet is displayed in the Project Browser. Change the sheet name and number 4 On the Design Bar, click Modify, and select the titleblock. The sheet name and number are displayed in the titleblock and in the Project Browser. The first segment will be placed on Sheet S The process that you use to export the database is similar for any other ODBC-compliant database.
Revit Structure creates 2 tables: one that lists all of the element instances in a project, and one that lists all of the element types in a project see below. A unique element ID is used to identify exported elements, so that each table of elements includes an ID column.
Elements IDs are also used to establish relationships between elements in different tables. Detail drawings describe how particular pieces of the structure go together and are typically created in the middle to later portion of the design process after the general building shape and structural elements have been decided upon.
You cut a section in plan, revise an existing elevation view, revise a callout view, and add these views to a sheet. A callout symbol is located in this view at the south wall. Detailing Steel In this lesson, you add a welded bracing detail, a bolted angle detail, and a facade support detail to the model. The first part of the exercise involves adding a plate to the underside of a beam to support the bracing. You will sketch the lines in a model view.
TIP After establishing the line direction, enter the value. A line displays that is offset from the highlighted line. The weld symbol has 4 numerical parameters that are currently set to 0.
Repeat for the left bottom value. Repeat for the right bottom value. In the first part of the exercise, you add 2 angles to the model using an angle family that has been loaded into the project. Then, you add some annotations. In this exercise, you add members to support exterior wall glazing. On the right side of the view is an imported symbol that represents a curtain wall. You will attach a channel in section to the outrigger for use as a member of the facade support system.
In the next lesson, a new dataset is supplied. Creating a Drafting View Detail In this lesson, you learn how to create a drafting view detail for a deck span transition using the drafting tools provided in Revit Structure.
Detail drawings show how particular pieces of the structure go together and are typically created in the middle to later portion of the design process after the general building shape and structural elements have been decided upon.
You cut 2 sections in plan, revise an existing elevation view, revise a callout view, and add these views to a drawing sheet. Model Based Concrete Detail Examples In this lesson, you sketch rebar on a footing detail, and add area reinforcement to a wall and a concrete slab using the Revit Structure drafting tools and the area reinforcement tool.
NOTE The line weights in your file may differ from the examples shown. Some of the rebar line weights were increased in the illustrations for training purposes. Add wall keys at the bottom of wall 6 On the Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the wall footing as shown. Sketch 3 lines as shown.
The Design Bar changes to sketch mode. NOTE Be sure to sketch from the footing to the wall. Place rebar set 29 Select the single rebar. The vertical snapping plane of the bar is highlighted. NOTE The dimension is placed to check the distance from the concrete face to the rebar array.
Delete the dimension after verifying the clearance requirements have been met. The Section 2 view opens. Rotate the rebar 15 Select the rebar. Notice all 3 instances of rebar are grouped as a single element. The rotation center control is positioned over the left bar. Additional rebar will be placed at the specified distance. Mirror the rebar set 22 On the Edit toolbar, click. Place vertical rebar 25 Right-click in an empty part of the drawing area, and click Zoom to Fit.
You are now in sketch mode. Mirror the rebar 33 Click the vertical rebar. Rebar visibility 37 Select the outside vertical rebar, and on the Options Bar, click. Notice the single vertical rebar is visible. The rebar array is no longer visible in the 3D View. Sketch the area reinforcement 8 Select the foundation wall. The foundation wall is highlighted.
Bars will be placed parallel to the major direction near both wall faces. Minor bars will be placed perpendicular to the major bars, adjacent to the major bars. To change the major direction, on the Design Bar, click Major Direction Edge, and select one of the horizontal lines of the outline. The area reinforcement is automatically applied to the selected foundation wall, and is indicated on the 3D view with an X as shown.
The area reinforcement for the foundation wall is displayed. Remove the major bars 16 Select the area reinforcement rebar, and on the Options Bar, click. Notice the rebar for the major span direction of the foundation wall is no longer present. The area reinforcement for the slab is displayed. Change the rebar properties 14 Select the area reinforcement rebar, and on the Options Bar, click. NOTE The lines you sketch for the path reinforcement box cannot intersect and must not form a closed loop.
The path reinforcement for the slab opening is displayed. Using the drag control, move the rebar tag approximately as shown. Change rebar properties 14 On the Toolbar, click , and draw a zoom box around the edge of the slab opening. Creating a Detail Library In this lesson, you begin by opening a project that contains common drafting view details.
Instead of having to draw these details for every project, you will learn how to save both the individual views and complete detail sheets as a new detail library and then import these details into a different project.
Save a group of views to the library 1 In the Project Browser, expand Sheets all , and double-click S. Only the drafting views will be displayed.
NOTE When you save your file, Revit Structure will save views that contain 3D objects; however, when you insert these views into a new project, only the 2D elements will be inserted. Because you are importing element types that may already exist in the project, a duplicate types dialog displays.
Click OK. Because you are importing element types that may already exist in the project, a duplicate types dialog appears. You have created a library of common drafting details that can be shared by each member of the structural team. You have also imported both individual detail views as well as the entire detail sheet into an existing project. In Revit Structure, there are 2 types of dimensions: temporary and permanent. Temporary dimensions display automatically when you create and insert components.
Permanent dimensions must be explicitly created, except when you sketch profiles to create families. In this case, permanent dimensions are created automatically, although you must turn on their visibility to view them.
Creating Dimensions In this exercise, you learn how to create and modify different types of permanent dimensions that you can add to your drawings. The dimension types include aligned, linear, multi-segmented, radial, and angular. The default dimensioning options display on the Options Bar. By default, dimensions are aligned and snap to wall centerlines. The dimension displays in the drawing.
A lock symbol that is unlocked displays next to it, indicating that the dimension can be modified. The lock displays as locked, indicating that you cannot change the distance between the referenced walls without first unlocking the dimension. Only aligned and angular permanent dimensions can be constrained in this way. Notice that the south wall moves with the north wall, and the distance between them does not change because the dimension is constrained. Create a multi-segmented dimension 12 On the Design Bar, click Dimension.
In addition, an equal symbol with a slash through it is displayed, indicating that the dimension segments are not equal in length. Create a radial dimension 18 On the Design Bar, click Dimension. The dimension is snapped to the wall centerline, the default dimension option. Create an angular dimension 27 On the Options Bar, click , and verify that Wall faces is selected for Prefer. Create a linear dimension 29 On the Options Bar, click.
Notice that the Prefer and Pick options are no longer available on the Options Bar. The linear dimension tool has a more restricted selection filter so that you can select only points. The dimension is always constrained to either the horizontal or vertical axis, and depends on the cursor tracking behavior. Controlling Witness Line Location In this exercise, you learn to add, delete, and change the origin of dimension witness lines.
When you place dimensions, you specify their origin on the Options Bar. However, in some cases, you may need to override their settings on an instance basis. For example, for a multi-segmented dimension, you may want to locate the 2 outermost witness lines on the exterior face of each wall, whereas the witness lines referring to interior walls would be located on the centerline of each wall.
Notice that only the wall faces highlight when you move the cursor over them, because the Prefer wall faces option is selected instead of the Prefer wall centerline option. Each time you press TAB, a different wall selection choice highlights, including the wall centerline. The dimension highlights, and control boxes display on each witness line. The witness line moves to interior wall face. The witness line moves to the wall centerline.
The witness line is deleted. If you right-click the control box, a context menu with different options is displayed. The full dimension string is displayed. Modifying Dimension Properties In this exercise, you learn to modify the type parameters of dimensions.
Change the type parameters of the floor plan dimensions 1 On the Basics tab of the Design Bar, click Modify, and select the multi-segmented dimension that you modified in the previous exercise. The dimension updates as shown. In the next exercise, a new dataset is provided. Working with Alignments and Constraints In this exercise, you learn to align components and lock their alignment to better work with them in your drawings. Aligning components is similar to dimensioning components with a value of zero.
A locked alignment is a constraint that is maintained if any of the aligned components are moved or modified. As you create components, alignments can be made and locked with minimal effort. For example, when sketching walls, if 2 or more walls are colinear, a lock symbol immediately displays, allowing you to lock the alignment of the walls.
Align the 2 uppermost horizontal walls in the floor plan 1 On the Tools toolbar, click. The cursor displays 2 arrows at its tip, indicating that the Align command is active. The shorter horizontal wall on the left moves to align with the upper horizontal wall. When you align 2 components, the first component that you select is the target and remains fixed in position, while the second component moves to complete the alignment.
The lock symbol displays as unlocked, indicating the 2 walls are not constrained to each other. The symbol changes to a closed lock, indicating that the alignment of the 2 walls is now locked.
Do not lock this segment of the alignment. The wall on the left moves with the middle wall when you drag it, but the wall on the right does not because the alignment between the 2 walls is not constrained locked. Move the walls to verify the alignment.
Align the windows on the floor plan 13 On the Tools toolbar, click. The 2 windows align. The second window does not align because it is already constrained by a locked dimension. A lock is displayed, indicating the constraint. You want to dimension the wall so that the width of each opening displays in the dimension string. These options ensure that the wall dimension includes the openings in this case, the windows , and that the window widths are referenced in the overall dimension string.
The 2 vertical walls highlight, indicating the start and end of the dimension string. In the next lesson, a new dataset is provided. Annotating In this lesson, you learn how to use some of the annotation features included in Revit Structure.
