Read
and practice ahead:
Begin
reading and practicing, in the CAD lab, chapters 1 and 2 in your book.
You will be modeling what I call the Book Model which is developed
by you, for practice, as you proceed through the book. Concurrently
you will also be designing your own Project Model (a design of your
choosing) along with the Book Model as you learn various skills
this quarter. Think about what you want to model for your Project
Model, this will be discussed in class on Thursday.
Check
back to this website and the class schedule often for more information
on weekly assignments.
There
will be an evaluation on the first day of class next week on the progress
on your Book Model and Project Model.

Instructional Images:
Information on some basic
residential building design elements are shown in the images below.
The images for this week show various elements that go into a simple foundation
and first floor wall construction.
The image below shows the
site work prior to the setting up of the forms for a concrete foundation
footing and stem wall. These foundation elements will be attached
to the existing house providing a bedroom addition.
The forms as they were being
set up for the concrete. This will be a "monolithic pour" pouring
concrete for both the footing and stem wall at the same time.
The completed forms on the
front of the house as the concrete was being poured.
The new footing and stem
wall foundation. Notice the embedded anchor bolts sticking out.
Two days later, the new structural-floor
is constructed on top of the new stem wall foundation. On top of
the stem wall is a 2x6 treated sill plate, bolted down with the embedded
anchor bolts. The sill plate serves as a interface between the wooden
sections of the exterior wall and the concrete foundation. The sill
plate, without treatment, would be subjected to decomposition over time.
The joist hangers attach to this sill plate and joists attach to the inside
of the hangers. The joists serve as horizontal structure for the
structural-floor.
The structural-floor made
of 7 layered plywood at 1-1/4" thick is glued and nailed to the joists.
The sill plate and floor are coplanar to the exterior surface of the stem
wall. The plywood has holes cut into it to accommodate the nuts,
washers and anchor bolts on the sill plate.
The image below shows the
completed structural-floor and is ready for the exterior walls. It
is the top surface of the structural-floor that serves as the first floor
plane. When modeling, the first floor is extruded below this plane
and the first floor walls are extruded above it.
A close-up of the previous
image where the new addition meets the existing house and shows how it
is constructed. Notice how the sheathing and siding cover the edge
of the structural-floor and extends about 2 inches below the top of the
stem wall foundation. This allows water to shed off the siding and
onto the ground (and not into the house). When modeling walls the
"Core Face: Exterior" plane is coplanar to the stem wall, sill plate and
edge of the structural-floor. The "Finish Face: Exterior" plane is
the furthest extend of the wall and includes the 1/2" sheathing (1/2" plywood
or OSB) and 5/8" T-111 siding.
An image of the completed
floor from the crawl space below and includes insulation and ductwork.
This image faces the stem wall shown in the image above.
The interior of this space
after interior walls, roof and some plumbing have been installed, facing
the same direction as the image above. It shows interior walls (2x4
construction, 3-1/2" wide) and exterior walls with sheathing (2x6 construction,
5-1/2" wide). The sheathing (1/2" plywood or OSB) is on the outside
of the "Core Face: Exterior" plane and before the "Finish Face: Exterior"
plane so it is on the outside of the core and exterior of the structural-floor,
sill plate and stem wall plane. To finish the exterior of the exterior
walls you would add a layer for the dimensionless wind barrier on the outside
of the sheathing and then siding. On the inside of the core you would
add the structure (2x6 5-1/2" wide). On the interior of the exterior
wall you would add a finish element 1/2" drywall. Occupying the same
space as the structure of the wall (the 2x6) would be the insulation.
The interior wall sandwich would be 1/2" drywall on either side of the
core structure (2x4, 3-1/2" wide) making the wall 4-1/2" thick.

Construction Drawings grading
criteria: Back
Your Final Project will have
the following items included in a construction drawing sheet set as described
below. Make certain that you understand your markups throughout the
quarter and incorporate those corrections into your Final Project construction
drawings.
To stay with in the scope
of the requirements of this class your construction drawing sheet set generated
for your Final Project is considered only a sampling of a typical set of
construction drawings and is not intended to include every sheet that would
typically be used for construction purposes. However, if you desire
to generate and print more sheets in each of the sections as described
at the Evaluation Check List (ECL) available at the link below that would
be encouraged but not graded. Some additional sheets may be generated
for extra credit as described in the ECL. The sheet set generated
for your Final Project will not be marked up and will be available in the
Box
at the conclusion of this class for you to use as a portfolio reflecting
your design work from this class.
General information:
-
Number sheets in ascending order
-
Incorporate all of the elements
for these sheets as required from the previous weeks' assignments including
Titleblock items. Title block items also include fields filled in
from your Revit "Project Information" button and your sheet "Properties
Palette" plus your sheet name and number fields (see videos from previous
weeks).
-
General sheet sections are often
numbered in groups like the 200 series for Ceiling plans or the 4.0 (dot)
series for Sections etc... . The series below uses hundreds
as the delimiter but you may choose what ever criteria you desire as long
as it makes sense and is sequential. Architectural drawings may also
have an "A" along with the number. Below are some section suggestions.
-
Cover Sheet, no number, 000,
001, 0.1, 0.01, etc...
-
Site Plan 010 series
-
Floor Plans 100 series
-
Ceiling Plans 200 series
-
Elevations 300 series
-
Sections 400 series
-
Schedules and/or Legends 500
series
-
Details 600 series
-
Notes:
-
Legends and schedules may be
included on other relevant sheets if there is room.
-
If a numbered sheet series is
blank then move up the numbering to maintain the sequence.
-
Extra credit for extra effort
and items, and may include, sheet notes and annotations that better explain
elements of your project, extra schedules, legends and similar items.
-
See some sheet examples at the
end of this section.

Problem
Printer Solutions:
Back
Below is a solution
for some of the printing problems in the lab (this information may change,
please check back).
Regarding images being flipped
or missing on the plotter and printer, use the following procedure:
-
Create a pdf document instead,
using the print command.
-
Instead of printing to one of
the three lab printers download and install the cutepdf
writer or printer at the following link: cutepdf
-
Choose the cutepdf printer
-
Go to the Printer properties
button and select the ARCH D paper size, center and scale to 100%
-
Pick a file save location in
your Commercial Project folder
Your standard 36" x 24" sheet
should now be generated as a 36" x 24" sized pdf document
-
Open the folder where this pdf
is and open the file. Print this using the HP6015 printer for half
sized prints or the HP800 plotter for full sized prints using the settings
described above.
As a final check measure a known
length with your Architectural Scale and/or measure your Graphic Scale
Bar.
Regarding getting your sheet
to fill up the page or printing to full scale on the plotter, or the plotter
does not recognize the ARCH D sized paper, follow the procedure below:
-
To print on the HP800 plotter,
choose the following settings
-
Put in the 24" sized paper roll
-
Through Revit,
-
Create a custom size 36” x 24”
sheet size
-
Click Setup button
-
Choose, Center, Landscape, Zoom
to 100%
-
Click the printer Properties
button
-
Check the "Autorotate" button
-
Select the roll size of 24"
Start printing and if its not
right go to the plotter and "cancel" it, check and change your settings
and start again.
As a final check measure
a known length with your Architectural Scale and/or measure your Graphic
Scale Bar.

Project Presentation, as
evaluated by your peers: Back
You may use the
following guidelines or something similar for your presentations:
-
Introduction, provide your name,
major and class position (senior, junior, etc...)
-
Introduction to your project,
project name and service provided
-
Tour
-
Start with a 3D view, the floor
plan or other view. Since these are commercial or residential projects
your design should be facilitating the interaction between customers and
staff, or how a person will navigate through different parts of the house
-
Show how a customer or visitor
will approach the building (street and parking)
-
Show how a customer or visitor
will enter the building and interact with staff or find their way around
the house
-
Show and explain the service
or entry area
-
Show the support areas or in
a house the more public areas of the house and the flow of traffic through
related rooms.
-
Show auxiliary areas or in a
house, the more private rooms, office and storage
-
Move on through the model and
demonstrate any features that you think are significant in your project
that may not be apparent in other student projects or that have not been
demonstrated in class
-
Show elevations, sections, 3D
view, camera views and/or renderings of any features that you feel help
demonstrate how your building functions and the features associated with
that function
-
Show the more significant components
used and where they came from
-
Show a brief Walk Through, 1
minute maximum with narration
-
Describe a toolbar, function
or modeling technique unique to what has been demonstrated in class and
that you have applied to your project. (Toolbar choices below)
-
Name the toolbar or function
-
Demonstrate the tool(s) function(s)
or methods(s)
-
Demonstrate the steps involved
-
Demonstrate different options
-
Demonstrate the effects of the
different options
-
You will graded by your peers
on the Presentation Feedback Form on how much they learned from your presentation.
-
Conclusion:
-
Summary
-
Ask for questions
-
Ask for suggestions i.e. "how
can I model this differently or better"
-
I would invite interaction and
would encourage raising your hand to interrupt for explanation or to share
a different technique.
Keep your presentation to around
5 minutes total, the toolbar presentation about 2 minutes, practice this!
Points taken off for over or under this time.
-
Presentation Toolbar Choices.
Back
Demonstrate a Revit toolbar,
function or method that has not been covered in this class and demonstrate
that to the class during your presentation. A good source for ideas
is the textbook. There have been sections of the book that have been
skipped that cover details that exceed the scope of this class but still
may be relevant for your particular project. Below is a list of some

and make modifications to it by first getting the shape that you want then
resizing it for your needs. I would start with something like a street
lamp. Below are some links:

How to Create a Curved Ceiling.
One of the problems with a curved ceiling is that you can not add ceiling
or hanging lights on this surface. A work around regarding adding
lights on a curved surface works well but takes a lot of steps. First
you make a flat horizontal ceiling on a level of your choosing, probably
the roof level. Don't constrain it to any level with the intent of
moving it up or down vertically and making it very small or narrow horizontally.
Sketch it on the roof level like a small or narrow rectangle in the horizontal
location of your choice and click the green checkmark. Then go to
a section and locate it vertically like right against your curved ceiling.
In a plan view, insert a light on it so that it hangs down vertically.
You can edit the profile of the small ceiling to make it very small just
don't lose it. When hanging a light it does not matter how small
the ceiling is it just has to be a ceiling and the light does not even
need to be attached to it just on the same level once the ceiling host
has been selected. You can also move lights around from different
hosts (ceilings) but this has to be done on a plan view. Select the
light then look in the "Modify | Lighting Fixtures" tab on the ribbon for
this.

How to
Create a Skewed Roof and Trim it. First you need to sketch
the roof. If you want to use a different plane to sketch your roof
from insert a Grid line in a plan view (which is really a plane) at an
angle that you desire. On this plane you can sketch your Roof by Extrusion
or use a model wall. With both of these tools you should be able
to get the look you desire.

How do
you manage a large schedule so it can be placed into two sheets.
First
you duplicate the existing schedule by right clicking on it in the Project
Browser and choosing the duplicate option. Now you will have two
schedules (or more) that are identical. Rename both schedules with
consecutive numbers like schedule 1 and schedule 2 and so on... Use
the filter option by choosing that button in the Properties Palette and
filter the “Mark” of the first schedule to include only those Marks up
to a certain value like perhaps Marks 1 through 50 (use filter “less than
or equal to” 50). On the second schedule do the same thing
but choose Marks greater than 50 but less than 100. And so forth…
Now
you have two unique schedules (or more) that you can insert into sheets
of your choosing.
