Model the typical floor of a residential tower containing six three-bedroom (3BHK) apartments arranged around a central lift and stair core. Work in imperial units (feet and inches). Follow the supplied dimensioned diagrams diagram_01.png and diagram_01_detail01.png to diagram_01_detail09.png. They give the layout, room names and figured room sizes. Use the figured dimensions and do not scale from the diagrams.

Set up one typical floor level. On it, model the exterior and interior walls of all six apartments and of the core, with door and window openings as shown.

Each apartment shall contain:

M.Bed Room
Bed Room-1
Bed Room-2
Drawing
Dining
Kitchen
M.Toilet
Toilet-1
Toilet-2
a wide utility
a wide balcony, 5' to 5'8" wide as figured for each unit

In addition:

Five units contain a pooja room.
Three units also contain a dress room and a living room.

Representative figured sizes:

North-west unit: Dining 17'6"X12'6", Drawing 12'0"X15', Living 11'X7', Kitchen 10'X12', M.Bedroom 15'X12', balcony 5'6".
North-east unit: Dining 13'4"X14'2", Kitchen 8'8"X14'4", M.Bed Room 15'X12', Living 11'X12'2", balcony 5'6".
West unit: Dining 16'6"X11', Drawing 12'6"X11', M.Bedroom 14'X13'4", Kitchen 12'X8', balcony 5'.
East unit: Dining 14'6"X11', Drawing 14'6"X11', M.Bed Room 14'X13'6", Kitchen 12'X8', balcony 5'.

The central core shall contain:

four passenger lifts, each 7'6"X7'6"
a Good's Lift 7'6"X10'
a Goods Lift 7'6"X10'10"
two staircases
a main Lobby 32'8"X9'
lift lobbies 15'5"X9'3" and 7'11"X10'8"
two 6'6" wide corridors
an Electrical Room
service shafts: FHC Shaft, FHC Shaft.02, Lobby Press. Shaft, Staircase Press. Shafts, PHE Shaft, STP Exhaust Shaft and Comm. Shaft

Place room elements in every enclosed space. Name each room as labelled on the diagrams. Tag the rooms in plan so that each tag shows the room name and its figured size.

Create a floor plan view of the typical floor. Place it on a sheet.

Model the typical floor of a residential tower containing six three-bedroom (3BHK) apartments arranged around a central lift and stair core.

Developed the PROJECT 11 Revit architectural model from an imported floor-plan reference, modeling and refining walls, levels, doors, windows, floors, stairs, railings, furniture, fixtures, materials, annotations, and room layouts. Reviewed the project in plan and 3D views, configured sheet scaling, exported and reviewed a PDF, and inspected rendered/model outputs.
