Introduction
This is the result of part one, the skeleton of a two-story house, complete with room division on the first and second floors. Everything is built from scratch in Revit, step by step. Let's start. Hello! In this tutorial series, we will create a 3D model of a two-story house in Revit, complete from the floor plan to the render. Part one starts from the basics: levels, grids, and walls. From the home screen, click new.
Step 1: Create a new project - New » Architectural Template
Select architectural template, then click ok. Revit creates a new project complete with 2 levels and several ready-to-use wall types.
Step 2: Check project units - Manage » Project Units (millimeters)
Open the nage theme, then click project units. We check that the length unit is millimeters, so all numbers we type later will be in millimeters. Click cancel to close it.
Step 3: Set Levels - Floor 1 at 0 and Floor 2 at 3350 mm
Open the south elevation view. Click on level 1 line, then change elevation in the property panel S to 3350 mm, which is the height of the first floor. After that, rename the two levels through the project browser. Press F2, then type lantai 1 and lantai 2. Answer yes so that the view name also changes.
Step 4: Vertical Grid - draw one grid then Copy Multiple
Open the first floor plan. Select grid in the architecture tab, then draw 1 vertical grid with 2 clicks. Select the grid, click copy and activate multiple. Move the cursor to the right and type the distance, 1000, 2000, 1500, and so on, press enter each time. All column grids are properly spaced. For horizontal grids, draw 1 horizontal line, then rename it to A in the property panel S.
Step 5: Horizontal Grid - name it A then copy upwards
Copy it upwards with multiple copy, 3000, 1000, 1500, 2500, and so on until 15 meters from the front of the house.
Step 6: Outer Wall of Floor 1 - type Wall-Ext 215Bwk, height up to Floor 2
Now the outer wall of the first floor. Click wall, set height up to the second floor, then select wall type X215BWK, click the grid intersection points in sequence, the cursor will automatically snap to the grid. Press escape twice to finish.
Step 7: Inner Wall of Floor 1 - partition per room
Interior walls use the partition type. Change the type, then draw the main bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen walls. Each room requires just a few clicks on the grid intersections.
Step 8: Switch to Floor 2 - outer wall
Switch to the second floor plan. Set our wall height to unconected, then draw the exterior walls using the same type as on the ground floor.
Step 9: Inner Wall of Floor 2, then match wall height to 3350 mm
Continue with the interior walls on the second floor, including the boys' and girls' bedrooms, musola, guest bedroom, and bathroom and toilet. Then select all walls with the window, change unconected height to 3350, and click apply.
Done! The framework of the two-story house is now standing
Open the 3D view and rotate slightly. Our two-story house frame is now standing. In the next part, we will install the floor, stairs, roof, doors, and windows. See you next time!
