Final Project Layout of Apartment units guidelines

The final project has a couple of requirements

• First- Define a group with 7 people total-
  • You can select people from your own section-- or different sections
  • It just makes it easier when your all together in the same section to get together to chat
  • Make sure to get ALL information about these group members so you can contact them
    • Name
    • Phone Number
    • Email Address
    • Class Schedule
    • Social Schedule
    • EVERYTHING! because when YOU need to find them, myself and the TA's are NOT going to help.
  • This year, you can actually FIRE a person from your group- essentially they will be on their own or have to find another group
  • Talk to another group IF you do fire someone to obtain the remaining apartment unit!
• Second- Each person is to draw ONE of the 7 apartment units and give it to the other group members.
• Draw it in AutoCAD first- and then you will create it in Revit by importing the dwg or dxf file
  • I would have a system if I were you- line types, layer naming convention, even color of lines, everything!
  • Draw all units the same- different files though
  • Start each apartment unit in the SAME location (ie 0,0) This is imparative for Revit that you identify a 0,0,0
  • Have all layers the same in each drawing- AutoCAD only!
  • Have all colors for objects the same
  • Keep all items between drawing files exactly the same- it will make your life EASIER
• Give your file to the other 4 members and get thier files for your project

• At this point- it is an INDIVIDUAL PROJECT.
• Third- Obtain the DWG and Revit model from your group members
• Individually Xref the apartment units into a new file- arrange them according to the floorplan layout on the web
  • Here you get to have creativity. Design the landscaping for the apartment complex
    • Include a Parking lot, commons area, walking path, or anything else you can think of
  • Make sure to place ALL units on your flash card, or CD and REFERENCED into your floor plan layout from the CD or Jump drive.
  • The path will be extremely important when we load it and check your Xref manager.
• Fourth- Draw the front and Side elevation for ONE BUILDING of the complex-- the front and side will be defined on the roof plan
  • front will defined on the complex layout, building is 4 stories, 14'-0" wall heights per floor, 12" floor system
  • Be creative here as well-- you can visually add whatever you want to spruce it up
• Fifth- Create an INDIVIDUAL presentational document that combines all information for the project- you will be in competition with your other section, so make the document outstanding.
  • What to include in the document- that I cannot tell you. It is up to you to ask questions and figure out what makes a good presentational document
  • The more you put in is not necessarily best. It should be clear and concise. But also should be noticeable or stand out.
  • Color is always good to a point-
  • Creating an imaginary company to submit a bid is a good idea too
    • Coming up with a company description
    • overall project overview- what is the problem
    • what is your solution?
    • just a few hints!

Link for Sample Final Project Evaluation

Use sample eval as guide only-- Some students will go above and beyond

these guidelines. And since you are graded on best in your lab-- it is a competition to get the "almighty A" or in the real world- the contract to build the structure.

The more you do and do well- the better your grade!
