How to create a rendered 2D floor plan in Revit

In this revit tutorial, you will learn how to produce a rendered 2D floor plan in Revit.

Generally, a regular floor plan is taken from AutoCAD and imported in photoshop. In photoshop, the surfaces are chosen and transformed to some material textures to provide the appearance of a rendering.

In revit this process can be done more efficiently.

The following revit shortcuts are used to complete the tutorial.

GR - Grid
RE - Scale
EL - Elevation
VR - View Range
CL - Structural Column
MM - Mirror (pick axis)

Download Sample Cad Drawing Of Inclined Pitched Roof Concrete Slab Reinforcement

This is a Dwg CAD drawing sample of an Inclined Pitched Roof Concrete Slab Reinforcement. Plan view of a reinforced concrete pitched-inclined slab demonstrates exact positioning of slab reinforcement, cantilever reinforcement, slab thickness, roof apex reinforcement.

Illustration of a 12x12m roof slab with a 4 by 4 column-beam support layout. Reinforcement calculations are done by applying Eurocode 2. Design of slabs is accomplished so as to leave out the deflection checks.

The sample drawing covers the following items :-

• full pitched roof slab reinforcement plan view

• slab & overhang cantilever reinforcement

• roof pitched apex reinforcement

• slab thickness annotation

This comprehensive drawing is available in CAD dwg, dxf and pdf formats and can be applied in any projects and save significant time.

Reinforced Concrete Beam Column Multistorey Frame Connections

It is a sample CAD dwg drawing that contains entire set of Reinforced Concrete Beam Column Multistorey Frame Connections. The drawing demonstrates a standard multistoried building frame having 3 diverse foundations types, beam-column connections for middle floor exterior and internal connections, cantilever beam support and top floor beam-column connections.

Top floor column reinforcement is provided differently in detail at the top floor frame level as compared to the other middle storied beam-column joints.

The frame represents a frame with 2 spans ( 3 columns ) and 3 floors, along with cantilevered concrete beams on one side. This fact is applied as a standard detail with each project devoid of the size or height of the building as it consists of all potential joints of any building frame.

This drawing utilizes details out of the reinforced concrete library, accumulated collectively at a 20% discounted price.

• Footing Foundation Column Support

• Reinforced Concrete Column Supported on Mat Spread Foundation

• Eccentric Footing Foundation Column Support Detail

• Reinforced Concrete Beam Column End Support Detail

• Internal Column Beam Frame Support Detail

• Cantilever Concrete Beam Reinforcement Detail with adjucent continuous beam

Reinforcement Connectors inside Revit 2017

Revit 2017 is a useful software for structural engineers that can make level of details superior for reinforcement modeling and documentation. In this regard US CAD presents an informative video focusing on Reinforcement Connectors.

Reinforcement connectors belong to family-based and completely adjustable, and these can fulfill the requirements of each team member. Rebar connectors collaborate with the rebar that they are associated with, allowing change management.

Structural engineers apply schematic connectors to describe requisites. Detailers utilize them to generate shop drawings. Manufacturers analyze complete detail, perfectly model and exemplify reinforcement connectors to produce guidance for installation. The connectors can be attached to groups, assemblies, and partitions with uncommon coupler numbering as well as exported to different formats.

Rules and Systems in Reinforced Concrete

If steel reinforcement bars (“rebars”) as well as plates or fibres are merged with concrete, the reinforced concrete is generated. Reinforcement provides additional tensile potency to concrete. Reinforced Concrete produces several skyscraper buildings within short span of time.

Reinforced Concrete is applied for various structures types and components which range from beams, slabs, walls, columns, foundations and more.

Two types of methods are generally followed for reinforced concrete design :-

1. Working stress method – This method is based on conditions of service load. But this method is outmode.

2. Strength Design Method – This method is based on conditions at loads higher than service loads when failure is occurred.

Strength Design Method considers two load factors – overload factors and strength reduction factor toward safety purpose. Strength Design Method follows the principles that design strength that includes axial force, shear force, bending moment etc. must be higher than or identical to Factored Load (essential strength).

Design Strength can be calculated with multiplication of nominal strength by strength reduction factor. Nominal strength is measured through static equilibrium and consistency of stress and strain. Factored loads are measured with multiplication of the service load by overload factor U.

Description of Reinforced Concrete Beams: The formal strength of a reinforced concrete beam is figured out if the strain in the extreme compression fibre is identical to the crushing strain of concrete (0.003).

Reinforced concrete beam is categorized as singly reinforced (rebar only in tension region of the section) or doubly reinforced (rebar in tension compression regions of the section).

To gather more knowledge on the strength of reinforced concrete beam, please go through solved example 9-1, example 9-2, example 9-3

Apply Rebar Couplers in Revit 2017 to connect or cap rebar instances

This is another useful presentation from Autodesk Building Solutions for Revit users. One can learn how to position and revise couplers and caps to rebar and rebar sets. This is one of the useful features of Revit 2017.

Rebar Couplers are useful to detail your reinforcement drawing and document. Rebar couplers attach adjoining rebar and at the same time make the design of reinforced concrete simple.

How to access Rebar Couplers:
