REVIT SYLLABUS

Q. WHAT IS REVIT?

Ans. Revit is a commercial building information modeling (BIM) software by

the company Autodesk. It's generally used by architects, structural
engineers, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers, designers,
and contractors. Autodesk Revit allows users to create, edit, and review 3D
models in exceptional detail

Q. WHAT IS REVIT & HISTORY OF REVIT?

Ans. Revit is a commercial building information modeling software. Revit

was initially developed in 1997 by Charles River Software (which became
Revit Technology Corporation - or RTC - in 2000). It was acquired by
Autodesk in 2002 and was renamed Autodesk Revit.04

Q. WHAT IS LOD & AND STAGES OFF LOD?

Ans. Level of Design / Development / Detail (LOD) is the overall state of your
information model at a particular point in its design process. This includes
not only graphical objects but also the data associated with the objects.

STAGES OFF LOD:

LOD 100 – Conceptual:

LOD 100 is the beginning of a project and may not be a part of many
brownfield projects. LOD 100 is very similar to the traditional conceptual
design phase.

LOD 200 - Approximate Geometry:

LOD 200 is similar to schematic design and design development. It is the

phase that will transition the conceptual massing model and associated data
into a model ready for the creation of construction documents.

LOD 300 - Precise Geometry:

LOD 300 is similar to construction documents, the phase where a design

begins to accurately resemble what will be installed. Specific elements are
confirmed as 3D object geometry. Object dimensions, capacities, and
connections are defined.

LOD 400 - Precise Geometry:

LOD 400 is achieved when fabrication and assembly can be driven directly
from the model. For most object types, the level 400 information model is
created solely by the trade partners with input from the AE. A key difference
of LOD 400 is trade scheduling. At 100 through 300 levels, different trades
are completing the stages at different times.

LOD 500 - As-built:

LOD 500 is the post-construction as-built stage of a project. This is the final
first cost stage of any project. At the conclusion of the 500 level. the model
is handed over to the building's Facility Manager. The process of creating a
500-level model will often involve the integration of the 400-level fabrication
model data into the 300-level model.

Que. WHAT IS FAMILY & AND TYPE OF FAMILY?

Ans. Families can be simply defined as a group of elements with a common set
of properties called Parameters and the related graphical representation.

Types of Family :

The Revit families can be broadly classified into 3 System Families, Component Families or Loadable
Families, and In-Place Families.

System Families:

The System Families are basic elements that would assemble on a construction site, for E.g.; Walls,
Ceilings, Floors, Pipes, Ducts, etc. They are pre-defined components in the Revit platform and the same
cannot be created or deleted using the Revit User Interface (UI).

Loadable or Component Families:

Loadable families are also known as standard component families, which

include components that are usually purchased, delivered, and installed in a
building.

In-Place Families:
The In-Place families are custom components that are usually created based
on specific project requirements. They are similar to the component or
loadable families in terms of creation and editing strategy as both use the
similar Revit Family editor to create the same.

Annotation Families:

Annotation families are one of the key aspects of systematizing drawings

and other kinds of documents. It is a part of both the System and Loadable
families. A few family types like Dimension Style, Levels, etc. cannot be
created or edited, whereas others like Generic Model Tags or Symbols can
be loaded into other projects and saved as external RFA files. Compared to
other family types, it doesn’t require complex parameters.

Hosted Families:

Hosted families need a host element that can pick up or hold or provide
structure for the model elements. Component or Loadable Families can be
hosted on System Families, for example, a Lighting Fixture can be hosted on
a Ceiling.

Que. WHAT IS WORKSET & WORKSHARING.?

ANS. Work sharing is a design method that allows multiple team members to work on the same project
model at the same time.

Work sets are portions into which projects can be subdivided within Revit models. A Work set is a
collection of building elements (such as walls, doors, floors, stairs, etc.) or graphic elements (views or
sheets are work sets).

Que. HOW TO START A PROJECT?

QU. WHAT IS PROJECT TEMPLATE & USES OFF DIFFERENT PROJECT

TEMPLATES?

Que. HOW TO START A PROJECT?

ANS. The annotation elements can measure the size of components and
elements such as height, width, and depth.
Types of Measurement System:

IMPERIAL SYSTEM:
 In the imperial system of measurement, we can measure length, weight, distance, height,
and volume by using specific units Like:

Inches (in)

Feet (ft)
Length/Distance
Yard (yd)

Mile (mi)

Grain (gr)

Ounce (oz)

Quarter (qr or qtr)

Mass/Weight
Stone (st)

Pound (lb)

Ton (t)

fluid ounce (fl oz)

gill (gi)

Volume pint (pt)

quart (qt)

gallon (gal)

acre

square miles
Area
Square feet

square inches

METRIC SYSTEM:
In the metric system of measurement, we can measure length, weight, distance, height, and volume by
using specific units Like meter, millimeter, and centimeter.
