  • B05.01. Default walls

    When starting to model, the elements dimensions, even if not final, should be realistic in order to avoid future problems with space to fit the elements and / or legislation requirements. Because of that, the walls used to start one project should respect the following table. These default walls are already created in NLAs template.

  • B04.7. Parts of Construction

    Levels
    Revit levels should be separated between structure and architectural level for modulation purposes, depending on the project stage.
    (Block)LevelName(ARC/STR)

    Example:
    A_L01_ARC (Block A, Level 01, architectural level)
    R01 (Roof)
    L01 (Level 1)
    L00 (Level 0)
    B01 (Basement 1)
    TOP_00 (Sea Level)
    OR
    R01_ARC (Roof – Architectural) – (“cota do limpo”)
    R01_STR (Roof – Structural) – (“cota do tosco”)
    L01_ARC (Level 01 – Architectural)
    L01_STR (Level 01 – Structural)
    L00_ARC (Level 00 – Architectural)
    L00_STR (Level 00 – Structural)
    B01_ARC (Basement 01 – Architectural)
    B01_STR (Basement 01 – Structural)

    In NLA Template there is the possibility to also give a presentation name to the level. When selecting one level the field “Level name in view” could be used.

    Rooms
    Rooms must be placed in the file from which the finishes schedule by room is going to be extracted, usually the CRD file.
    (Block)Level Compartment(Area)

    Example:
    L02_014 (Compartment 14 on Level 02 – Project with only one block)
    A_L02_014_b (Compartment 14 on Level 02, block A)
    A_L02_014_b (Area b in Compartment 14 on Level 02, block A)

    Typology
    Block + Level + Typology + Version
    Example:
    A_L01_T4_a

    Key Number
    In Touristic Projects such as Hotels, Guest Units are characterized by the Key Number. In these cases, the key number corresponds to the Compartment code. Inside Guest Units, there are areas or subdivisions that should be characterized by lowercase letters.

    Rooms Parameters
    Fill the following parameters:
    NLA_Fraction
    NLA_Fraction_PH
    NLA_Name_Translation
    NLA_Typology

    NOTE:
    When naming rooms / elements in the model, and whenever abbreviations are used, all punctuation must be avoided. This measure is intended to avoid elements that should be equal having different names. Allowing an easier filtration, scheduling, etc. Abbreviations must also be written in caps.
    For example: Living room = LR
