d. Click Finish Model
6. Interior walls
a. Wall Height - Top constraint: up to ROOF PLAN
b. Wall type - Interior Partition, change materials
c. Wall Thickness - students can decide this or follow the direction of Interior Design Studio 3
d. Location Line - Wall center or Finish face: Exterior or Interior
e. Insert Baseboards - follow the Studio 3 direction, students can decide the baseboard type and size
f. When you insert windows in the container
? Insert windows in the container before creating interior walls
? add interior walls in the container wall side
? Open building elevation view and change to Wireframe view to see outlines of the window
? Select the interior wall € click Edit Profile and use Rectangle drawing tool to cut window opening on the interior wall
7. Windows
a. Sill and Head height - follow the Studio 3 direction
b. Students can decide the window type and material
c. Add window treatments (i.e. blinds, curtains, shadows, etc.) families
8. Doors
a. Door widths and height - follow the Studio 3 direction
b. Students can decide the Door type and material
9. Floors
a. Add a floor slab in the first floor
b. Floor thickness, type and material: thickness - 4", students can decide the type of the floor and then change the finish material. Use also Split Face and Paint tools
10. Ceilings
a. Top cover panel of the container
? Open REFLECTED CEILING PLAN
? Architecture > Ceiling > Sketch ceiling
? Type and Thickness - select GWB in Metal Stud > Edit Type > Duplicate and Rename > Edit > delete the Gypsum Wall Board layer > Change the material of Metal stud layer with steel with 4" thickness
? Use Pick Line tool and pick inside lines of exterior walls
? Height offset from level: 8' 10"
? You can insert only this cover panel to design the exposed ceiling
b. Gypsum ceiling panel
? If you want to insert the interior ceiling panel, open REFLECTED CEILING PLAN again
? Architecture > Ceiling > Sketch ceiling
? Type and Thickness - select GWB in Metal Stud (you can apply the paint material in the finish gypsum board)
? Height offset from level - maximum 8' 5 3/4" (because the thickness of GWB in Metal
Stud is 4 ¼")
c. However, students can choose any type of ceiling panel/material
11. Lighting and Switch families
a. there may be no plenum space, so recessed lighting type is not appropriate
b. Insert switches and draw electrical lines
c. Create an Electrical Legend table
12. Furniture families
a. Duplicate the FLOOR PLAN to create FURNITURE PLAN
b. insert furniture families (try to use Autodesk seek and Manufacturer websites)
c. Change materials of families and then insert them into the project (sometimes, you need to change the family materials in the project also)
d. Insert furniture tags
13. Plumbing fixtures - Insert all pluming fixture families
14. Interior elevation symbols
a. Add interior elevation symbols in the FLOOR PLAN
b. select Interior elevation tag > Edit type > click Elevation tag: ½" circle > select Elevation Mark
Body_Circle: Filled Arrow
15. Room tags
a. Insert room names in both FLOOR PLAN and FURNITURE PLAN using Text tool
16. Dimensions
a. In the FLOOR PLAN, insert dimensions for exterior walls, openings (doors and windows)
II. Group Work - Site Plan (Community Plan), Community Center, Walkthrough
1. Site Plan (Community Plan)
a. Use the new Architecture template
b. Adjust the level height and rename for FLOOR PLAN. Delete the Level 2
c. Open FLOOR PLAN and Insert > Link Revit > select the resident unit files
d. After inserting one unit, select it and use Copy to Clipboard > Paste from the Clipboard to create multiple unit buildings > Rearrange resident unit buildings
e. Create the community center in the FLOOR PLAN
f. Open SITE PLAN and create site and insert site components. >
i. Massing & site > Toposurface to draw the site > create Building Pad under all buildings, and move them down a little bit (maybe 1') > use Subregion to create the sidewalk > insert Site Component
2. Community Center exterior design
a. Open FLOOR PLAN again and create the community center
b. Students can choose any technique, for example, inserting general walls/ceilings/floorings or using Model-in place tool
c. Change the material - follow the studio 3 direction
d. Insert windows and doors - size, type, height, and material: follow the studio 3 direction
e. Students don't need to design and build interior spaces
f. Exterior and interior height - follow the Studio 3 direction
3. Walkthrough - the detailed direction will be given during class time
