1.INTRODUCTION
Autodesk Revit is a software which help the create the modeling and layout of the tree
dimensional building information modeling software for architects, landscape architects,
structural engineering ,layout engineers, designers and contractors developed by Autodesk. It
allows users to design a building and structure and shape of the 3d model by defaults furniture
setup and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements, and access
building information from the building model's database. Revit is 3D BIM capable with tools to
plan and track various stages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to construction and later
maintenance and/or demolition

Revit can be used as a very powerful collaboration tool between different disciplines in the
building design sphere. The different disciplines that use Revit approach the program from
unique perspectives. Each of these perspectives is focused on completing that discipline's task.
Companies that adopt the software first examine the existing work flow process to determine if
such an elaborate collaboration tool is required.

 3. DOCUMENTION OF PLAN

In this exercise, you add tags to the project and schedule doors and rooms. You change an
element in the door schedule and see that the change is automatically made in the associated
plan. You also add color fill to rooms and modify crop regions for several views that you later
add to a presentation sheet view.

STEP1: Create a section view

o Open the 02 Entry Level floor plan.

o Click the View tab of the Design Bar, and click Section.

o Begin the section on the left side of the model and end it on the right side, making sure it
cuts through the stairs.

 6. CONCLUSION

LIVING ROOMS:

This is the area is for general use. Hence the living & drawing room should be planned near the
entrance south east aspects. During colder day the sun is towards the south & will receive
sunshine which is a welcoming feature. During summer sunshine ti the northern side & entry of
sunrays from southern or south – east aspects do not arise.

KITCHEN:

Eastern aspects to admit morning sun to refresh & purity the air.The Kitchen Life study was
commissioned by the Social Science Research Unit of the Food Standards Agency. We would
like to thank Helen Atkinson, Sian Thomas, Robyn Polisano (formerly of the SSRU) and their
colleagues for their guidance and enthusiasm throughout the study. We would also like to thank
the project advisory group members, Professor Richard Tiffin, Professor Anne Murcott and Dr
Alizon Draper for their input and support. Professor Peter Jackson provided additional support
and guidance to the authors in his capacity as advisor to the University of Hertfordshire team;
this was very much appreciated.

We would like to acknowledge and thank all the pilot and main study participants who gave so
generously of their time and without whom this project would not have been completed. We
would also like to acknowledge and thank some of our University of Hertfordshire colleagues for
their input and time, particularly Avril Nash and Julie Mace and acknowledge the valuable
contributions made by Jessica Mitchell, Alice Martin and Nick Piper.

READING ROOM/ CLASS ROOM:

North aspects this makes more suitable since there will be no sun from north side for most part of
the year.
BED ROOM:

Bed may also be provided with attached toilets, there size depends upon the number of beds, they
should be located so as to give privacy & should accommodate beds, chair, cupboard, etc., and
they should have north or – west south – west aspect.
BATH & W.C:

Bath and w.c are usually combined in one room & attached to the bed room and should be well
finished. This should be filled with bath tub, shower, wash-hand basin, w.c, shelves, towels,
racks brackets, etc., all of white glazed tiles. Floor should be mosaic or white glazed files.
Instead of providing all bed room with attached bath and W.C separated baths & latrines may
also be provided
VERANDAH:

There should verandah in the front as well as in the rear. The front verandah serves setting place
for male members & weighting place for visitors. The back verandah serve a ladies apartment for
there sitting, working controlling, kitchen works etc., verandah project the room against direct
sun, rain & weather effect. They used as sleeping place during the summer and rainy season &
are used to keep various things verandah also give appearance to the building. The area of a
building may vary from 10% to 20% of the building.
ORIENTATION: After having selected the site, the next step is proper orientation of
building. Orientation means proper placement of rooms in relation to sun, wind, rain, topography
and out look and at the same time providing a convenient access both to the street and back yard.

The factors that effect orientation most are as follows.

• Solar heat

• Wind direction

• Humidity

• Rain fall

• Intensity of wind site condition

• Lightings and ventilation

SITE CONDITIONS:

Location of site in rural areas, suburban areas or urban areas also effects orientation, sometimes
to achieve maximum benefits, the building has to be oriented in a particular direction.

LIGHTING:

Good lighting is necessary for all buildings and three primary aims. The first is to promote the
work or other activities carried on within the building. The second is to promote the safety of
people using the buildings. The third is to create, in conjunction to interest and of well beings.
