Starting Your ProjectNow that you have explored the interface, you can start your drawing. You start by creating yourlevels.


9/19

To create your levelsWe are going to create 4 levels:-Level 1: Natural ground level that carries the exposed foundation wall (usually this would havebeen created by Revit)Level 2: 600mm above level 1 to carry the ground floor walls (this requires adjusting a defaultlevel 2 created by Revit to suit your design)

Level 3: 3000mm above the level 2 to carry the first floor wallsLevel 4: 3000mm above the level 3 to carry the roof

Procedure:1. Double-Click on South on the project browser2. Click on drafting on the menu bar3. Click on level from the drop down menu4. The adjustment - Place your cursor on the level 2 to highlight it and make sure + (cross) sign

shows, see fig 2

Fig 2

5. Press down your mouse and drag downwards until the dimension reads 600 i.e. that is the

space between level 1 and level 2 is 600mm then drop the level line there. See Figures 3press Esc twice.

Move your cursor upward gradually until your dimension readout shows the figure you want foryour level 2 (In our case 3000). Now move the cursor towards the right until you get to where thelevel icon is then click. Level 3 will appear see fig 5 press escape twice. (You can as well usemethod 2 - move your cursor slightly upwards and type 3000 and press enter instead of jogglingwith the readout. You can then move the cursor towards the right until you get to where the levelicon is then click.)

We now proceed to draw our visible 600mm foundation wall - the wall between the natural groundlevel (level 01) and level 02 (remember, it will seat on level 1)

To create the walls on level 1

Before you start drawing your walls,-You open the level 1 where you want your walls to seat.-Choose your wall type-Set your wall height-Set your wall offset from the bottom level-Choose method of drawing the wall (whether to carry walls with the center line, outline or

inner surface.

So lets go-

1. Double Click on level 1on the Project Browser (to go to the level to draw on)2. Click on wall on the Design Bar3. Basic Wall: Generic-200mm has been selected as wall type on the type selector (lets leave

it at that we will modify later)4. Change the wall height to 600 (the required wall height)


14/19

5. Leave the offset as 0.0 (since our wall will seat on the ground)6. Change lock line to Finish face: External7. Start to draw wall 1 from the point located by the cursor on Fig 7
