Architectural Drawing and Light
Construction
Frost Line
0 Frost action, which is the settlement of the soil due to the freeze and thaw
of a particular climate creates damage to a building through settlement.
0 To counter this action foundations must be dug and placed below the
“frost line” which is the depth in inches that the soil doesn’t freeze in the
winter months. This figure changes from location to location and can be
found in your local codes.
Footings and Foundations
0 Every properly
constructed building
must be supported by an
appropriate foundation
that will support the
weight of the building
and sustain the
structure throughout all
weather conditions.
Loads
0 Live Loads
0 Varying weights and forces applied to the building by
various non- consistent forces.
0 Dead Loads
0 The weight of the structure as well as any stationary
equipment fastened to it.
0 Snow Loads
0 Is the weight created by the weight of snow build-up on
a structure.
Soil types
0 Every foundation is only as
solid as the soil in which it is
placed upon. Bedrock is the
most favored soil type to
build upon due to the lack of
future compaction that will
occur with in the stone.
0 This compaction causes
settlement which is
commonly uneven and the
most common of destroyer of
structures.
Radon Levels
0 Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas found in
soils and underground water. Its is harmful to
humans.
0 This gas can find its way into buildings through
cracks, joints and other openings in the foundation
walls and floors.
0 The three basic approaches to preventing radon gas is
0 The barrier approach
0 Soil gas interception
0 Indoor air management
Foundation types
0 Full Basement
0 Typically at a full story
height below ground, and
constructed with cast-inplace concrete. Very
common in colder climates
where frost level require
greater depths and in
high-end homes where the
additional space is
requested.
Foundation types
0 Crawl Space
0 Shallow depth foundation,
leaving roughly 2’ to 4’
between the ground and
bottom of the floor joist.
Foundation types
0 Slab- on –grade
0 A concrete slab
pour on the ground
with a integral
concrete beam at
the slab edge.
Typically not used
in cold climates due
to settlement and is
the cheapest and
weakest of all
building
foundations.
Basement foundations
0 Basement walls must be designed to resist lateral loads from soil and
vertical loads from the structure above. Made typically of poured
concrete or Masonry Concrete Units (CMU).
0 These walls as for almost all foundations site on top of spread footings
which provide support beneath basement walls, masonry walls and
columns.
Structural Concrete Slabs
0 Are designed based on
structural analysis of
use. The added steel
reinforcement makes
the concrete slab strong
enough in tension to
support they applied
loads without the need
for supports below.
Rebar
0 The steel reinforcement
discussed in the slide before
has a name commonly
referred to as “Rebar”. This
metal is placed in the
concrete to resist the stresses
that create tension with in a
concrete member.
0 For this purpose the location
of rebar is engineered so that
the maximum amount of
strength comes from the
minimum amount of rebar.
Rebar
0 So describing “Rebar” it is
categorized by No. bar. The #
correlates the actual diameter
of a bar by 8ths of and inch so
a No. 8 Bar is 1” in diameter.
0 The most common type of
rod used is a deformed bar
which has ridges that are
used to mechanically bond
the bar and concrete together.

Walls
C H A P T E R OBJECTIVES
• Learn three ways to place a Wall object.
• Use Pick Lines on an imported 2D CAD file.
• Create wall sweeps and reveals.
• Learn how to use Join Geometry, Cut Geometry, and Wall Joins.
• Modify verticallycompound walls.
• Create a profile for a Wall Sweep.
• Create a compound wall with the SWEEP command.
• Modify End Caps and Insert conditions.
• Create embedded walls.
Introduction
Wall objects are the basis of all buildings; they enclose space and give the
building its character. Because buildings require a vast variety of wall types and
configurations, these objects have become very sophisticated in Revit Building.
Creating a Wall
You create a wall by sketching the location line of the wall in a Plan view or a 3D
view. Revit Architecture applies the thickness, height, and other properties of the
wall around the location line of the wall
Using Pick Lines on an
Imported 2D CAD File
Using the Pick Lines option for creating walls allows you to pick any 2D CAD
or line drawing. This is especially useful when you import a DWG, DXF, or
MicroStation DGN file.

Modifying Vertically-Compound Walls
You define the structure of vertically-compound walls using either layers or regions.
The following graphics visualize the concepts of rows, layers, and regions.
Layer Rows —Correspond to layers or regions.
Wall Layer —Constant thickness and extends the height of the wall.
Regions —Neither region extends the full height of the wall.

Structure, Levels, Grids,
Foundations
C H A P T E R OBJECTIVES
• Understand and use the Grid and Level tools.
• Understand and use the Split Grid Lines tool.
• Understand and use Custom Grid Lines.
• Understand and use the Wall Foundation tool.
Introduction
This chapter covers the basics needed to create and modify
custom grids and structural components such as columns,
beams and the beam system, trusses, and wall foundation
tools
Levels and Grids
Level and Grid tools are used to create and modify levels and grids in a drawing

NOTE:
3D Extents (the 3D – 2D text)
allows you to have the grid
lines linked in all floor plans or
just one floor plan. Experiment
in all the views by turning the
3D Extents On and Off and
moving grid lines.
