This is a practice exercise video solution.
00:06
You'll load a classification system into a Revit project model.
00:10
Read information requirements documentation before assigning the necessary
00:14
information to a 3D model in Revit.
00:17
To begin,
00:18
open Revit,
00:19
and from the Revit home screen,
00:21
click Open.
00:22
Navigate to the folder containing the provided data set for this exercise.
00:27
Click to select the base level complete file and click Open to open the project.
00:33
On the ribbon interoperability tools tab on the standardized data panel,
00:38
click Assign Classification to open the classification dialogue.
00:43
The available classification systems are displayed on the left.
00:47
Ensure Uniclass 2015 database is selected,
00:51
and click click here to load to load the Uniclass 2015 database into the project.
00:57
Once loaded,
00:58
the dialogue should show Uniclass 2015 codes.
01:02
Click close to close the dialogue.
01:05
In the 3D view,
01:06
click on the edge of the exterior wall to select it.
01:10
Right click to open the context menu and select select all instances
01:15
in entire project to select all of the walls of this type,
01:20
all of the external walls,
01:21
in the full project.
01:23
When selected,
01:24
all of the external walls will be highlighted in blue.
01:28
On the ribbon interoperability tools tab on the standardized data panel,
01:33
click Assign Classification to open the classification dialogue.
01:38
By default,
01:39
the Uniclass table is set to elements and functions,
01:43
and the filter recognizes you've selected walls and
01:47
displays only the relevant information for walls.
01:52
Open Appendix A to view the information that's required,
01:56
and for this example you can consider this stage 3
01:59
and you work for the architectural company.
02:02
You have walls
02:03
and doors in your model,
02:04
and they require information at this stage.
02:07
External walls require system information
02:10
as indicated by the 3A
02:13
stage 3 architecture team.
02:18
In the classification dialogue,
02:20
click to change the table from
02:22
elements and functions to system.
02:24
Expand to find the code as displayed in the AIR appendix.
02:29
System 25.
02:36
Select the code from the list
02:38
and click assign to assign the code to all of the external walls.
02:42
The code should highlight blue for a moment and display the word assigned.
02:47
Click close to close the dialogue
02:49
and return to the 3D view.
02:52
In the properties palette
02:54
with the walls still selected,
02:56
click Edit type to display the type properties of the external walls.
03:01
Scroll down to find the information that has now been assigned in the data section.
03:07
If this information is exported from the model
03:10
and shared with other disciplines,
03:12
the system importing it would recognize this data belongs to external walls.
03:17
Click OK to close the dialogue.
03:19
In the 3D view,
03:21
click to select an internal partition wall.
03:24
Right click your mouse to open the context menu.
03:27
Select all instances
03:29
and entire project
03:31
to select all walls of this type
03:34
in the project.
03:35
All of the internal walls should be highlighted in blue
03:38
in the AIR appendix.
03:40
Internal or partition walls require system information again as indicated by 3A.
03:48
On the ribbon interoperability tools tab on the standardized data panel,
03:53
click Assign Classification to open the classification dialogue.
03:58
Ensure the system table is active
04:00
and expand to find the code as displayed in the AIR appendix.
04:06
System
04:11
and click assign to assign the classification code.
04:16
Click close to close the dialogue and return to the 3D view.
04:20
In the 3D view,
04:22
press escape twice in your keyboard to
04:24
deselect any elements that you have selected.
04:27
Click and hold your left mouse button and drag it
04:30
to below and left of the model before releasing it.
04:33
You've used a crossing window to select all of the elements in the project model
04:38
to filter what you've selected
04:40
on the ribbon,
04:41
on the modify tab,
04:43
and on the selection panel,
04:44
click filter to open the dialogue.
04:47
You can deselect the walls by unticking them from the list.
04:51
Click OK to close the dialogue,
04:53
and only the doors should be highlighted in blue in your 3D model.
04:57
On the ribbon interoperability tools tab on the standardized data panel,
05:02
click Assign Classification to open the classification dialogue.
05:07
The codes
05:09
are System 2530.
05:12
And type is product table 3059 2497.
05:18
In the classification dialogue,
05:20
ensure system table is active and expand to find the code 2530.
05:28
Click assign to assign the system information to the doors.
05:33
Don't close the dialogue at this point.
05:35
With the dialogue still open,
05:37
I sign a second information code
05:39
by changing the Uniclass table from system to product.
05:44
Expand to find the code as shown in the appendix
05:48
product,
05:48
so PR
05:58
And click assign to assign the code to all of the doors.
06:03
Click close to close the dialogue.
06:06
In the 3D view,
06:07
press escape twice to deselect any elements.
06:11
On the ribbon interoperability tools tab on the standardized data panel,
06:16
click Assign Classification to open the classification dialogue.
06:20
When no elements are selected in the model,
06:23
you can assign information to the project information area.
06:27
To do this,
06:27
change the Uniclass table to entity.
06:30
Entity information is reserved for a project model containing a single building.
06:36
Such as a house
06:37
or a school.
06:39
Expand the codes to find EN
06:50
When assigned,
06:51
close the dialogue and return to the 3D view.
06:54
In the ribbon
06:56
on the manage tab
06:58
settings panel,
06:59
click Project Information to open the dialogue.
07:03
Scroll to the data section to see the EN code,
07:07
and if exported,
07:08
the system importing this information
07:10
would recognize this project as a house.
07:13
You can add other information directly here,
07:16
such as the status code,
07:18
the client information,
07:20
project name and address,
07:22
and this can all be found in the BIM execution plan.
