Developed a detailed two-level residential Revit model, creating walls, rooms, doors, windows, stairs, roof, railings, fixtures, furniture, and landscaping while refining types, materials, room labels, and placements. Saved the project as Project34, reviewed the model in plan and 3D views, and initiated an IFC export.
