REVIT – LEVEL 3

3D ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

YOUR DIFFERENCES ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THE LEVEL 2 LINK (CLICK HERE TO GO THERE)

This project involves the design, development, and drawing of a set of house plans.  You will also construct a scale model of your house

You will be using a LOT of the reference content in AutoCAD Level 1; be sure to spend time reviewing that section as you go.

Are you “Detail-Oriented?”

1. Do a simple, uncomplicated design – TRUST ME

2. Don’t get it perfect, just get it done

3. “Good Enough” DRAWING, vs. “Perfect” HOUSE

4. Don’t fret over details that don’t matter

5. Go back for more detail if you have time

“Stop fretting Wellwood; your ‘Death Trap’ is still better than most people’s ‘Awesome’.” – Ron I.

THINGS YOU SHOULD PLAY WITH IN REVIT

“Scope Box”

 

WHAT YOU WILL HAND IN:

 

FLOOR PLAN

    • PROPERTY: You can use the classroom Properties , or you can find a patch of land somewhere on Earth, and build there. One student did a sweet cliff-side home on Mulholland Drive. Another student did the Taj Mahal. What will you do to eclipse those?
      • Property MUST NOT BE FLAT; it MUST have some shape/terrain to it.
    • FLOOR PLAN: Modify, Adapt, or Create from scratch
    • NEW!! TOPOGRAPHY:
      • You MUST create/form some NOT FLAT TOPOGRAPHY (terrain, ground, incline, landscaping, shape, etc.)
    • NEW!! COMPONENT:
      • YOU MUST CREATE some sort of significant COMPONENT for your house
        • Couch?
        • Armoire?
        • 1965 Lotus Super 7?
        • Wishing Well?
        • Kitchen Appliance?
        • A scale model of Mr. Wellwood?
