1. Basic approach of completing the kitchen in Revit: Now if you were to assemble your kitchen using rat family, it might be difficult for you. First of all, let's simply go to the level one floor plan. Simply double click on that. This is where we are going
to set up our kitchen. You might already know about
the basics of kitchen. You can easily place
the component to this component tool which
is in the built panel. All you need is just to
simply click on that. After that you have to
click on Load family, then just simply go
back and then go back. And currently we are
in the US folder. This is Smc family library, and there we have this casework. Simply double click on that. Then we have this
base base cabinet. You can click on that. After that, you can choose
any of the cabinet from here. Let's suppose I want
to use this one. I can just simply click on
that and click on Open. I can easily place
that one here. I can change its
properties from here, or I can rotate its orientation with the help of a space bar. Now, if you're
following this process, it might be difficult for
you to complete the kitchen. That's why I will show
you another method by which you can easily
complete your kitchen in it.
2. Inserting the fridge: Let's insert the appliances, like refrigerators saying
can stop, you can do that. But first of all, what
I would like to do is I would like to insert
the refrigerator. Let's do that. All
you need is just to simply open the file
that I've given you. In that folder, there is a revit families
that I've given you. This is the one that
I'm talking about. And if you see here that you
have lots of these here, you can see right now I'm interested in this refrigerator. You can just simply
double click here. Then you can just simply
scroll down where it says, this refrigerator side by
side. You can use this one. You can use this one as well. So first I will add
this refrigerator, and this will decide the basic
dimensions of the kitchen, and later on we can
add the case work. All you need is just
to simply select that and track it right here. In order to do that, let me just simply cancel
that one from here. I have already track
that one here, but still I cannot see anything. What you have to do is you
have to go to component here. In the component,
you can see that this one is already loaded here. Just like that, you can just simply drag and
load it from here. Now what I would like to do is I would like to rotate it just
like this, using space par. You can rotate it like this. I will just simply place it
right here. Just like that. Also, I will make sure that I'm creating a space between them as well.
Let me place escape. You can see I've
created a gap here. Now you might be asking
why you just leave a cab. Why you cannot just simply
align it with this wall? The thing is that
there might be pipes. There might be wires
for this refrigerator. That's why you need to make sure that there's a gap between that. You can just simply
adjust it like this. You can see we have
wires we have in let, that's why you need to
make sure that you are giving a cap of
this much around. Now you can see how much
space we have here. As of now you can see
currently the doors are open. If you click on
that, you'll see on the left hand side in the properties you can
just simply scrawl on, it says that show the
door swing currently. This one is turned
on. You can turn it off and you won't be able
to see the door swing. You can see currently
the doors are closed. If you click on that
again, click on this one. The doors are open now, even if the detail
level is set to course, you won't be able to see the doors whether they
are open or closed. It will show you something
like this to make sure that this one is set to fine so that you can see that
the doors are open. Now, if you notice,
one thing here is that we have a little
bit of space here. What I will do is I will
click on this one here. I would like to set
the distance you can see it will be difficult for any person just to simply
pass through this cap. I would like to
increase the cap, so I will simply
click on this one, I'm going to make it
140. And then presenter. Now you can see we have
a sufficient space for the person to pass
through this gap. Once we have set
the refrigerator, we know that the counter
top going to run around, that we round like this. If we explore the
Vet family by going into Insert Tab and then
click on Load Family. Currently we are in
the base cabinet. We can just simply go back. We can look into
the countertops. You can click on
this one and use the arrow key to
see the countertop. But the thing is that
we have an issue that we have only
two kinds of ship. We have L shape or
a straight one, that we cannot use
it here in our case. In that case, what we
have to do is we have to add our own
personalized countertop.
3. Creating the countertop: Now let's create the counter
top for the kitchen. For that, what I'll do is I'll just simply go to the
Architecture tab. If you see in the built panel, we have this component
dropped down. You can click on that. And there we have this model in place. You have to just
simply click on that. With the help of this,
you can create or model a family
inside the project. Here you have to
choose that category. I'm going to choose
this Case Work. And then simply click on Okay. Then here you have to give it a name and then click on Okay. Now what you have to do next
is we have to set the plane. What I'll do is I'll
simply click on Set the Work Plane Here. It will ask you which
work field you want. Here you have the Pick up plane. Click on that and
simply click on Okay. You can just simply take
your mouse person like that and it will
give you that plane. You can place the
tap key in order to highlight one of the
wall segment like that. You can see that this one
is getting highlighted. After that, all you need is just to simply
click on that one. We have set our work plane. Now what you have to do is
you have to go to Forms. And there you have to
click on the extrusion. And after that, you will
get the straw option. So what I'm going to do
is I'm going to draw a line from here around
that countertop. So you can see here, I will start from here and then I will draw
a line like this. You can see I have
completed this line. After that, you can just
simply tick mark on that one. You can finish that
one and you can see we have a little bit of issue. I want some overlap with that. You can just simply
double click on that one. In set the distance
between them, you can click one of the line for a little
bit of overlap. I would like to
increase this two. You can see that this one is 60. I would like to make this 161, hit this one is 61. If you click on that one, you will see that
this one is also 60, so we have to make this 161. And from this side as well, just because I want a
little bit of overlap, I'm going to make this 161
again, just like that. Let's check this one. This one is looking
fine. Let's click here. Once you're happy with that, you can just simply finish
this one from here. If you look at the properties, you can see the extrusion
end is at 25 centimeters. I don't want that, I
would like to set it to four simp that. Then after that I'll just
simply finish the model. From here you can see
how this one is looking. Now if you want to
double check this, what you can do is
you can just simply go to this little icon. You can click on this camera, and you can place a camera just like this just
to see this one. And you will get
the proper view. And you can see how good this
one is looking from here.
4. Finishing the basic layout: Now let's finish the
basic layout here. First of all, what I will do is I'm going to place
the sink here. After that I will place
the cook top for that. Again, I'm going to use the same folder that I have
given you in the resources. This is where the sink is and this is the sink that
I'm going to use. You can just simply
go back and see where exactly it is it
is in the sinks. Simply double click on that, and this is the one
that I will be using. You can just simply click
here and track it right here. Just like that. It will take some time and
show you the result. But the thing is
that if you're not being able to see
that, in that case, you have to go to Component and you have to click
on this P on and simply tap Sink There. We have the sink. I'm going
to use this sink here. Simply click on that,
the smaller one, and then I will
place it right here. After that, I'll press Escape, and I'm going to place
the cooktop here. For that. Again, I'm going
to use the same folder. Let's simply go back. If there is the cook top, simply double click on that, and this is the one
that I will be using. You have to simply drag it here. And it will take some time. Again, if you're
not being able to see that, you have
to go to component. But luckily we are
getting this right here. You need is just to simply place the space par in order to rotate that here as well. In the properties, you have to do a little bit of setting. Because if you look at
the elevation height, the elevation height
should be equal to the height of the counter top, which is equal to
90 centimeter here. I'm going to simply type
90, 90 centimeters. Then I will apply, then I'm going to
place it right here. Let me press space par again. Then I will simply place
it here, just like that. After that I'll scape. Let's have a look
in the three D, and you can see
how good this one is looking in the three D view. We don't want these
walls anymore, so you can select them and delete them from
here, just like that. Now if you click
on the countertop, you will see that
we have an issue. The thing is that this one is getting overlapped with
this sing and this cooktop. We have to solve this issue. For that, let me just
simply go to level one. What I will do is I will
simply double click on it. Again, I will
double click on it. After that, you will
get this draw option. What you have to do
is all you need is just to simply create rectangle. In order to create the hole, I'm going to draw a rectangle
like this for the whole. Maybe I will start from here and draw a rectangle from here
to here. Just like that. I will do the same thing
for this one as well, and I will draw rectangle
from this point. Then after that click here, we have drawn these
two rectangles and I'm going to finish
this one from here, you can see how this
one is looking. Let's have a look
in the three D view and see how this one is looking. Now you can see that this one
is looking perfectly fine. We have completed
the basic layout.
5. Placing the corner dishwasher: Now let's place the base
cabinet here. In this region. I will start from the corner. Now let's go back
to level one here. What I will do is I will
select this countertop. I'm going to make this one
transparent so that we can see the elements that we
are going to place below. For that, all you need is just to simply right click
here and then click on over at Graphical view and
then click on By Element. After that you'll get this box. And here you can see you
can set that transparency. I'm going to make it like this. You can go up to 100%
but I'll suggest you to keep it at 80. Simply click on okay. And you can see that this
one is not transparent. Now here I'm going to place
the cabinet for that. All you need to do is just to simply open the file
that I've given you, which is this one here. You have to look for the case cabinets and
then go to base cabinet. Let me show you here. I'm having this base cabinet
simply double click on that. This is the one that
I will be using. Base cabinet corner, basically, I will start from here, so that's why I'm going
to use this one. All I need is just to simply select that and
track this one here. It will take some time and it will show you
something like this. I'm going to place it here. After that, I will press Escape. What I'll do next is I
will simply select that, and I need to move
this one to this side. For that, I'll just simply
go to this move tool. I will make sure
that I'm clicking on its corner and then I will
move and then click here. Just like that. This one
is move successfully. But the thing is that we
have a little bit of issue. If you'll see here that this one is getting intersecting
with this thing. We have to move this one. I will simply select that, move, this one just like that. You can see we have
successfully moved that. But still we have that issue. You can see that opening. We have to adjust
this opening as well. Let's zoom in in this region
so that we can clearly see. We have to adjust this opening
as well, just like that. Now this one is looking perfect. Let's have a look
in the three view. You can see how this one is
looking in the three view.
6. Placing the cabinets: Now let's work on
this side here. What I'll do is I'll
place the cabinet. But I would like to
place the cabinet in such a way so that I can
place some cheers as well. For that, let's simply
go to level one here. What I will do, I'm going to
place some cabinets here. Let's go to component, and let's search
for the cabinets. Let's look for this
one single door. Okay, I will go ahead with this 500 MM and then
I will click here. And then I'm going to
place it somewhere here. Before placing
that, I would like to do some modifications here. I'm going to click on
this one because I want half of this so that
I can place it easily. And I'm going to
click on Edit type. I'm going to duplicate this. I'll simply make
it simply, okay. Then we have this depth. Let's make it half, and make it 30 simple. Okay? Now this one is 30. So you can go here. You can
select this one from here, and you can see that this
one is already there. This one is half. Now, I'm
going to place this one here, but before that, let me just simply delete this
one from here. Let's go back to the component, and let's simply click here, and this is the half
that we are looking for. And you can just simply
place it right here. All you need is just
to simply rotate it. Have to rotate a
position like this, you have to place it like this. We have successfully
placed that. Let's have a look
at the three view, how this one is in the three view and you can
see in the three view, this one is looking perfect. After that, I will
press the scape, then I will go to the label like again and I'm going to
create a copy of that, Let's simply that type and
create a copy like this. After that, I will
press this scape. Now you can see we
have created a copy. Now what you can do is you
can align this one with this. In order to do that, you
can use the Align tool. You can click here, and then
we align this one with this. And then with this, simply press Escape
one more time. Then I'm going to
align this one with this. Just like that. And we have completed this part. Let me press escape. Let me show you that in
the three view and you can see how good the sum is
looking in the three. We have a little bit of a space just for the chairs so that
you can easily presses. You can sit down here and
you can do some works, you can eat there as well.
7. Beverage center: Now if you notice,
you can see we have this much of space. And here what I will do
is I'm going to paste up beverage, refrigerator,
small one. For that, what I
will do is I will just simply go to the file that I've just provided to you. And you can see
here in the other, we have all of these
other families. You can see all you need
is just to simply click here and then drag it right
here, Just like that. It will take a
little bit of time. After that, you can see we
have done that thing here. Let me just simply zoom
in in this region. I will use the space bar
to rotate it like this, and I'm going to
place it like this. You can see just like this, that after that
I'll press escape. I don't like how this one is getting represented
and this level one, I'm going to select this
and then I will go to Edit. I would like to turn off
this level from here simply and I'll
successfully turn off that. And you can see that this one is getting intersecting
with this one. You don't worry about that,
just simply click here. You can see here that you have to delete
this one from here. Let me just simply
delete that here. What you have to
do is you have to place an adjustable cabinet. For that, you have
to go to cabinet and then you have to
click on this one. And then simply tap adjustable. You can see we have
this adjustable width, so you can click on this one, then you can just
simply place it here. And after placing that,
you can press Escape. And you can see you can
just this one like that, you can see you can
click on this one. The thing here is that
this one is the weight. Basically what you have
to do is you have to create a similar copy of
what we are doing right now. If we go back to the three view, you can see how this one is
looking in the three D view. But what we have to
do is we have to again create a
duplicate of this. Let me just simply go here
and click on Edit Type there. We have to duplicate that. I'm going to again,
call this half. Click on okay, and I'm
going to make this 130, then simply click on okay. You can see we
have created that. And let me just simply select this and delete
this one from here. Again, I will go back to the component and you
can see you have to look for that stable half there. We have that half, You
can simply place it here and you have to rotate its
position just like that. And you can just simply
match it with this one. After that, you
can press Escape. You have to click
on this one again. You have to control
its width like this, and then match it like this. You can see that this one
is not matching perfectly. In that case, you can
use the Align tool. You can use Align and
click on this one. And align this one with this. And you can see that this
one is perfectly aligned. You can escape a couple of times to get out
of this command. If you go back to
the theory view, you can see how this
one is looking. This one is looking
perfectly fine. You can just simply
go here and make it fine to get more details, and you can see it here.
8. Hiding the back of the cabinet: Now if you look at this one, we can see, clearly see
that there is an issue. The thing is that
we are being able to see the back of the cabinet, which is not looking that
good. We need to fix that. In order to fix that,
what you have to do is you have to select
the top of this. You have to go here and
click on this edit in place. After that, you have to
go to the elevation. I've opened one of the
elevation from here, which is the interior elevation. All you need to do is just simply go and create extrusion. I'm going to create the
extrusion from this point. I will be using this rectangle in order to create the
extrusion just like that. Then after that, I will take
my mouse cursor to this end, which is here, just like that. After that I will set
the extrusion end. This will be two MM thickness,
two centimeter thickness. I just made this one to hit apply and then
finish it from here. Let's have a look
in the three view, how this one is in the
three and you can see that this one is looking pretty
good in the three view.
9. Creating the another design: Now let's suppose you want to make this one more beautiful. In that case, what
you can do is, again, you can just simply select that and then click on Edit in place. Let me show you what
you can do from here. Is we have already selected
this plane, the back one. But you need to select
the plane again. Let me cancel it from here. And first of all, let
me simply type K from my keyboard in order
to pick the plane. This is the plane that I'm
going to select like this. I've selected the
plane successfully. Then I will simply
click on this or that. You can just click of these, then you can click
on it in place. And here what I will do is I will go to Elevation and this is where
I'm going to work. Either you can do the same thing in the three D or you can do the same thing in the
elevation part as well. You have to go to Create and
then click on Extrusion. Then you have to draw
something like this. Maybe I will start from here, or I can do the same thing in
the elevation part as well. You can see you have
to choose a line. I will basically
start from this line. Okay, let me there's an issue,
don't worry about that. Simplify, escape and then
cancel it from here. Now here you have to
choose that because we have chosen that
option in the three D, that's why we are unable to
select that one from here. Now that we are
in the elevation. Now again, go back to Create. Click on Excuse.
Now you can see you can easily use these options. What I will do is I will draw something like this,
as you can see. Going to set the
thickness to two. Then after that I will
go down here from here, just like that. After
that what it will do is I would like to do
some modifications here. You can see the
thickness is two, and if you click here, click on this line, you can
see the thickness is six. I'm going to make it two again. Maybe I can click on this
one and make it two. Just like that, we have a
uniform thickness of two. This one is looking good. After that, I will
finish this one from here and I will set
the extrusion end. I'm going to extrude it to 25, then finish the model. Let's have a look in the
three view and you can see how this one is looking
in the three view.
10. Placing the hood in the kitchen: Now let's see how we
can add the hood just above the stove or
the cook top here. In our case we
have our cook top. This is where I'm going to
add the hood so that it can collect the fumes Weber smell
and get it out of the room. For that, I'll just
simply go to the level one and I'll just
simply zoom in here, and this is where I'm
going to place that hood. Simply open up the file
that I've just given you, which is this one here.
We have this hood. Simply double click on that. All you need is just to simply click here and drag
it right here. Just like that. It
will take some time. As you can see,
we have our hood. Simply press the Space Water to rotate that and then click here. After that I will press Escape. And I don't want to
see this went hood, I'll simply go here. Go to Edit Type, and then I
will simply hide this label. Now let's align this
with this one here. I will simply type L. Then I'm going to click here,
and then click here. You can see that
this one is aligned perfectly and this looks good. But if you go back
to three view, you can see we have a
little bit of issue. This one is starting from the
crown, we need to fix that. All we need to do is just
to simply select that hood, then simply go here. You can see elevation from
level is currently zero. We have to make
some changes here. Let's make this 150 in
order to solve that issue. Now you can see that this
one is at correct place. Now if you notice, you can see we have one more
issue here as well. This one is not
going to the top, basically, you have
to select it again. Then simply scroll down and you can see in the dimensions
we have height. What you can do is you
can simply click contact. Let's make this 150. Simply take your mouse,
because then you can see whatever the issue we have
has been successfully solved. Now we need to fix this
thing here as well. Let's go to elevation here. What I'll do is I'll just simply zoom in in this region,
I will click contact, then I will track it
from here to here, just like that. After that, I'm going to create a
similar copy of that. I will simply click here and then drag it from here to here, and then match it here. After that I will just
simply escape And you can see whatever the issue we have has been
sold successfully. Now if you go back
to the three view, we can see our hood here.
11. Applying the material in Revit: Now see how you can
apply the material. For that, just to
see the material exactly what material we
are going to apply you. First of all, you need to
change the visual style as of. Now, I will simply go here and I'm going to make
this one realistic just to make sure that we can clearly see exactly what
kind of material we are using and how it is
looking in the realistic view. Now you can see we
have this material, and if I just simply zoom in, you can see that
this color here is a birch color here as well. What I will do is I will
just simply select this one. If I want to apply
the same burge color, I can just simply
go to edit type. Then here you can see in
the metal and finishes, I'm having this cabinet
material and then the material and then
the handle material, Let's say I want to
apply the birch color to this cabinet material. I will simply click here. I will click on the three dots. Then I will search
for the Berge. You see there we have our Berge. You can simply click on that
and then click on Okay. Then click Okay. Again, you will see that we have successfully applied that color. Here you can see
that this one is not changed because if
you simply select that, if you go to the editor, you can see we have only changed the cabinet material,
the raw material. If you want to use the
draw material as well, what you can do is you can
just simply select that. You can use Control C to copy that, and
you can click here. Then you can just use control V to paste the same color in
order to save the time, you can just simply
click on Hit. Okay. If you click outside,
you can see we have successfully applied
that perch color here. You're going to do the same
thing for this one as well. You can go here,
you can click on Type, You can select this, simply select this control, go here, and then control V, and then click on Okay. Now I will do the same
thing for this one as well. You can see it, type, and then click on Okay. After that, I will
select this one, this cabinet here that
you can see clearly, you can click on Type
select this, then control. After that, all you need is
just simply click on Okay. You can see we have successfully applied the birch color in here. We are not going to change
this color, maybe this color, because these are
the colors that are provided by
the manufacturer. I hope you don't
want to change this. This is how you can
apply the material. But still you can see that
we are not being able to see the cabinets
which are present on this side here as well. We have to apply
the same material, but we cannot see that as
of now, how we can do that. We will see that
in the next video.
12. Applying the material on the opposite side: I'll see how you can
apply the colors, you can apply the
materials on this side, because as of now, you cannot see this side. For that, what we will
do is I will just simply go to this navigation. Well, I'll click here.
Then after that, I will just simply click
here and then drag it. And then just place it somewhere here to see exactly
what we're going to do. Now after clicking on that, you can see we have
these options. We have walk options. What we can do is just simply, we can walk, we can move
around, you can go here. You just need to make sure that you're moving pretty slow. You can see that how
slow I'm moving. Then you can just simply look on this side and you can
just simply go here. You can just simply
go to this side and hear from this side
just like that. You can see it now
once you're done, you can just simply close
this one like this, you can see the moments here. Now what you can do is you
can just simply easily select these cabinets and you
can simply go to edit type. You can go here, control
can control that, and then click on, okay. You see we successfully
applied that. Do the same thing for this, this then this Basically what I'm doing is
just to control, just control and selecting this, I can go to Edit Type and you can see cabinets and material. In one go, I can just simply use that Burch color control
and then click on Okay. In one go, I have applied the same color to
these cabinets. Now you might be
wondering that it might be possible that we just simply messed up our whole
view, but it's not like that. You can just simply go here
and this option of rewind, you can rewind everything. You can click on that and you can click on that like that. All you need is just to simply make sure that you are pressing the left mouse button
and you can just simply drag it all
the way up till here. This is where we have started
all these things right now. We, once you are done, you can just simply click on Close or to close that wheel. We have successfully
applied the burglar on this side and on
this side as well.
13. Applying the material to Model in place: Now let's see how we can apply the material to this
model in place. All you need is just to
simply click on that. After that we have this
option it in place. Simp on that. I will select
this one at the top. And then here in the Properties, I will just simply scroll down where it says Materials
and Finishes. There we have our
material by category. You can click on that, let
me just simply cancel it. You have to select that. After that, you will get this three dots
simply on that here. You can simply select
anything from here. Let's say I want to
make this one class. So you can click on this class
and you can click on okay. Now you can see that
this one will look like. Now this one is
transparent like that. You can click here,
you can go here, and then again you can go back to this.
Simply click on that. Then three dot like
that, you can use, any of you can use
this one maybe for that you see it will take
a little bit of time. You can see that this
one is looking much more better now that we
have this thing here. I will select this one, then I will scroll
down by Materials. You can click on
these three dots. After that, let's say I want to make this one of black color. There we have these places. I will simply click on that
and then click on Okay. After that, it will
take some time and you can see how this one is looking. You can see that
this one is looking much more better than before. Once you're done with that,
you can just simply click on this finish model
in place there. We have successfully applied
the materials to this.
14. Creating the ceiling for lighting fixtures: Now if you want to make this one even more beautiful,
in that case, what you can do is you can
use the lightning fixtures, but for that you need to
create a ceiling here. In order to do that, what
you can do is you can just simply go to this floor plan. You can see we have
this floor plan here, we have the ceiling plan. What you have to
do is you have to just simply go to level one ceiling plan and you can see exactly what's
going on here. First of all, I would
like to change this to fine detail level to fine as of now you cannot
see anything here. If you want to see
what you're going to do is in that case you have
to simply scroll down. Just simply look
for the underlay. So we have this underlay which
is currently set to none. You have to click on
that. You have to make this one level one. Then range will be
top level level two. And you want to look
down, not look up. So you can click on that and
change this to look down. As soon as you click on Apply, you can clearly see
what's going on here. Now you can clearly
see everything here. Now you can place your ceiling. To place the ceiling, you can just simply go to Architecture Tap there in the build panel,
you will see the ceiling. So you can click
on that. And there we have these two options, which is automatic ceiling
and the sketch ceiling. What I will do is I will
be this sketch ceiling. After that, I'm going to draw a ceiling from here to here. I'm going to use this line like this and extend it like this. After that, I'll press Escape, and I will do the same
thing from here as well. After that, what we
will do is I will just simply use this stream
and extent corner. I will click on this
line and then this line, and then trim the extra part. Once you're done
with that, you can just simply finish it from here, and we have successfully created that ceiling for our
lightning fixtures. Now I will look in
the three view, how this one is looking. In the three view, you can see we have successfully
applied that. And you can see how good this one is looking
in the, the review. Now you might not be
happy with this height. The gap between this ceiling, this floor and the ceiling. You can just simply scroll down and you can actually control
that one from here as well. You can see we have this
height offset from the level. Currently, this
one is set to 260, so I would like to make this 1275 just to decrease the gap. If you hit Apply, you will
see that now this one is moved a little bit
up in the upper side. You can see here
that this one is looking much more
better than before. If you're not happy
with this design, you can actually create
a design here as well. Maybe you can just simply make
it like this in order to, just to give it a
more cooler look. You can see how this
one is looking here.
