Chapter 9 • Ceilings and Interiors 414 FIGURE 9.40 Placing the accessible stall The next step is to copy the toilet and add another stall. It would be nice if the family just fit, but this is not a perfect world! 1. Copy the toilet to the right 6 ′-2 1/2″. 2. On the Home tab, select the Place A Component button. 3. Select Toilet Stall-Braced-3D : 32″ × 56″ Clear from the Change Element Type menu. 4. Click the Edit Type button. 5. Click Duplicate. 6. Change the name to 59” × 60” Clear. 7. Click OK. 8. At the very bottom of the dialog, change the width to 4’-11”. 9. Click OK. 10. Place the stall in the model (see Figure 9.41). TIP You may have to press the spacebar as you place the stall to flip it into the correct position. Again, if you are having difficulties placing the stall directly in the corner, you can place it along the north wall at any loca- tion, and then either align or move the stall into the correct position. Interior Design 415 FIGURE 9.41 The two toilets in place With the toilets and the stalls in place, you need to add a grab bar to the acces- sible stall. This is the same situation as before in which Revit does not provide this content. You need to either make this component yourself (this is covered in Chapter 17, “Creating Families”) or use the one from the book that you down- loaded with the bathroom stalls. To add a grab bar, follow these steps: 1. Zoom in on the accessible stall, as shown in Figure 9.42. 2. Click the Place A Component button. 3. Select Grab Bar 4 ′–0″ Length. 4. Place along the wall, as shown in Figure 9.42. NOTE As you place the grab bar, it will look like it is going to be embedded into the studs of the wall. Don’t worry. Once you pick the point where you want it, it will move to the finished face of the wall. NOTE Remember, although it kind of feels like we are just sticking “blocks” into our model, these are all 3D parametric parts. This grab bar, for all you know, is 6′–0″ above the ground or sitting on the floor. To adjust this, you do not have to cut a section or go to a 3D view. You can simply select the grab bar and, in the Properties dialog, set Elevation to 2′–0″. Chapter 9 • Ceilings and Interiors 416 FIGURE 9.42 Adding the grab bar family to the wall Since we are in the men’s room, it is time to add some urinals. We can fit two before we start getting too close to the sink area: 1. On the Insert tab, click the Load Family button. 2. Browse to Plumbing Fixtures. 3. Select the file called Urinal-Wall-3D.rfa. 4. Click Open. 5. Place two urinals about 1 ′–0″ away from the front of the stall, with a 2 ′–0″ space between the two, as shown in Figure 9.43. FIGURE 9.43 Adding the urinals to the men’s room Interior Design 417 What a relief to get those urinals in! The next step is to get a sink in with two stations installed into the bathroom. To do this, you can use the double sink you loaded from the book’s website. 1. On the Home tab, click the Place A Component button. 2. In the Change Element Type menu, find the family called Double Sink - Round 24 ″ Depth. 3. Place it into the corner, as shown in Figure 9.44. FIGURE 9.44 Placing the double sink Because the women’s room is the same size, there will be two stalls and a sink. Create the mirrored layout as shown in Figure 9.45. Now that the first floor bathrooms are done, let’s move over to some of the actual rooms and offices to furnish these rooms. The first thing we need to do is to add lighting to the ceilings. Adding Parabolic Troffers As you are starting to see, the procedure for adding a component does not change based on the component you are adding. This is great news. Adding a troffer, however, is slightly different. You do need to be in a ceiling plan, and you do need to specify the face of the ceiling. At this point you may be good enough at adding these fixtures to simply look at the following figures and add the lights yourself. Or, if you desire a little help, follow along with these steps: 1. In the Project Browser, go to Level 1 ceiling plan. (Notice that we are going to a ceiling plan right now, not a floor plan.) Of course the sink will come in at the wrong rotation. By now you know that you can tap the spacebar three times to orient the sink in the correct direction. O O If you mirror the stalls, they will go “haywire.” You will need to add them separately. Chapter 9 • Ceilings and Interiors 418 FIGURE 9.45 Completing the women’s room 2. Zoom in on the northwest corner of the east wing, as shown in Figure 9.46. 3. On the Insert tab, click the Load Family button. 4. Browse to the Lighting Fixtures folder. 5. Select the file called Troffer Light – 2×4 Parabolic.rfa. 6. Click Open. 7. Click the Place A Component button; then place the fixture in your ceiling, as shown in Figure 9.46. 8. Click the Align button on the Modify tab, as shown in Figure 9.47. 9. Align the light fixture to the grid. Interior Design 419 10. Copy the light to the location shown in Figure 9.48. 11. Add lights to the rest of the rooms in the east wing, as shown in Figure 9.48. With the lights added to the suspended ceilings, we need to illuminate the corridors. This can be done by adding a set of wall-mounted sconces, as follows: 1. Select the Level 1 floor plan. 2. On the Insert tab, click Load Family. 3. Browse to the Lighting Fixtures folder. 4. Select the file called Sconce Light - Uplight.rfa. FIGURE 9.46 Placing a light in a ceiling. You will be aligning it to the grid in a moment. 5. Add the sconce to the corridor wall, as shown in Figure 9.49. 6. Add sconces to the walls of the hallways as appropriate, as shown in Figure 9.50. Chapter 9 • Ceilings and Interiors 420 FIGURE 9.47 Aligning the fixture to the grid FIGURE 9.48 Adding lights to the rest of the ceilings Interior Design 421 FIGURE 9.49 Adding a sconce 7. In the Project Browser, double-click on the 3D view called East Wing Corridor Perspective. This will give you a good idea of how the up- lighting influences the corridor (see Figure 9.51). FIGURE 9.50 Copying the sconce to the other hallway walls Well, that corridor is looking great! It’s time now to start looking into the offices, and also to see if we can get a kitchen area completed. Chapter 9 • Ceilings and Interiors 422 FIGURE 9.51 Looking at the hallway in a perspective view Adding Casework and Furniture Adding casework and furniture is the easiest part of this chapter—that is, if you like the casework and furniture that comes right out of the Revit box. Something tells me that this is not going to be adequate. For this chapter, we will be using the out-of-the box items, but in Chapter 17, we will make some custom millwork families. To add some office furniture, follow along: 1. Select the Level 1 floor plan. 2. Zoom into the northeast corner office, as shown in Figure 9.52. 3. On the Insert tab, click the Load Family button. 4. Browse to the Furniture folder and select the following five items: Cabinet-File 5 Drawer.rfa  Chair-Executive.rfa  Credenza.rfa  Entertainment Center.rfa  Shelving.rfa  Interior Design 423 5. Click Open. 6. Click the Place A Component button; then, in the Change Element Type menu, select Credenza 72 ″ × 24″. 7. Place the credenza desk into the room, as shown near the top of Figure 9.52. FIGURE 9.52 Placing the credenza desk into the first office 8. On the Home tab, click the Place A Component button. 9. From the Change Element Type menu, select Chair-Executive and place it in front of the credenza, as shown in Figure 9.53. 10. In the Properties dialog, select the Entertainment Center 96″ × 84″ × 30″ and place it in the corner, as shown in Figure 9.53. 11. Place four 36″ shelving units across the south wall, as shown near the bottom of Figure 9.53. At this point, it is a good idea to take a perspective shot of this office to see if this space is developing the way you were envisioning. Although you may never put this perspective view onto a construction document, it is still a great idea to see what is going on: 1. On the View tab, select the 3D View ➢ Camera button. 2. Pick a point in the northeast corner. 3. Pick a second point beyond the southwest corner, as shown in Figure 9.54. . to Level 1 ceiling plan. (Notice that we are going to a ceiling plan right now, not a floor plan.) Of course the sink will come in at the wrong rotation. By now you know that you can tap the. the stalls in place, you need to add a grab bar to the acces- sible stall. This is the same situation as before in which Revit does not provide this content. You need to either make this component. face of the wall. NOTE Remember, although it kind of feels like we are just sticking “blocks” into our model, these are all 3D parametric parts. This grab bar, for all you know, is 6′–0″ above
