Residential Design Using Autodesk
Revit 2014
Autodesk Revit (Architecture,
Structure and MEP) is the world’s first fully parametric building design software.
It can be thought of as the foundation of a large process called Building
Information Modeling (BIM). Moreover, Rivet stands for Revise Instantly; a change
made in one view is automatically updated in all other views and schedules. Also,
it comes in three different “flavors”: Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and
Revit MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing). All three Revit products use
.RVT files for storing BIM models. Typically, a building is made using 3D objects
to create walls, floors, roofs, structure, windows, doors ductwork, electrical
systems and other objects as needed. These parametric objects— 3D building
objects (such as windows or doors) or 2D drafting objects (such as fasteners)—
are called "families" and are saved in .RFA files, and imported into
the RVT database as needed (Stine) .
Charles River Software was founded in
Newton, Massachusetts, October 31, 1997 by Leonid Raiz and Irwin Jungreis, key
developers of Parametric Technology's Pro/Engineer software for mechanical
design, with the intent of bringing the power of parametric modeling to the
building industry. The company was renamed Revit Technology Corporation in
January, 2000, and Revit version 1.0 was released on April 5, 2000. In 2012,
Revit LT became the newest version of Revit on the market (contributors) .
My Project is to design a two- story
residence located in a suburban setting. The first step is to create a new project file
and enter the basic project information, such as client name, project address,
etc.
