Assignment 3
Overall Revit is an easy to use program that has a great potential to create quick and accurately documented drawings. As a first time user it was somewhat of a challenge to use at first, but then I quickly realized that it is all based around families and components and it became a lot more user friendly. Customizing my own walls, floors and other key components of a building was relatively the same process for each and once learnt is easy to continue using the process.

Documentation
When it comes to finalising your documents, you will need to make a sheet and title block for your drawings. Revit has a small range of title blocks to choose from which can be edited to advertise your company and specify the information you wish. It allows for multiple drawings to be included to each page at a range of scales and levels of detail. And each page will automatically name itself determined by the information input into the title block for easy navigation throughout the final stage of documenting.

Roofs and Ceilings
Floors
In Revit, like walls, the flooring system has its own types and properties you can create or edit at any time within the process of making your model. the thickness of the floor will then be determined in the properties of the floor type chosen. | Floors in Revit are Quite simple to control, once placed you simply select the level on which you want the floor to sit and it will stay at that height unless specifically changed at a later time. | You can set the boundary of the floor by simply drawing a line around where you to place the floor, and you can come back later and edit these lines easily. then when you are happy you can change view and the thickness of the floor will already be made to suit your floor type. |
Phases
Phases can be used to show the stages of the construction and or deconstruction process of building a building. | There is also a built in tool for demolition, as for a demolition phase in the building process. This tells a builder where exactly they need to demolish. |
