LESSON PLAN INTERIOR DESIGN

Subject: Revit Material and Material Tags

Instructor: Mr. Brown

Date:

Student Performance Objective:

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

ü  Identify Material parameters

ü  Add data to the material parameters

ü  Use the “Paint” tool to apply materials

ü  Create a custom material tag

How will student be evaluated and what methods will be used to measure competency?

Students create a custom material and a custom material tag to read critical data. Teacher will walk the classroom to ensure students have properly created the material tag and utilized the tag on a custom material model.

Anticipatory Set: (Describe the introduction or hook you will use to get students involved in the lesson).

ü  How do we show builder paint color on a wall? Floor material? What if there are multiple materials on a floor, wall, or ceiling? Room data doesn’t work so well.

ü  Material tag OOTB

ü  What if we need more info?

Instructional Component: (include type of lesson and major concepts to be covered)

ü  Demonstrate how to create a custom paint

ü  Demonstrate how to add data to the paint parameters

ü  Demonstrate how to use the paint tool

ü  Show Revit OOTB material tag

ü  Demonstrate how to make custom material tag to show Description and Mark (Material and Color)

Check for Understanding or Guided Practice:

ü  Students will create a new paint material, apply it to a wall, then tag it with a custom material tag. Teacher will walk the classroom to ensure students have created the custom material and tagged it with the custom tag.

Independent Practice:

ü  Students will create a new paint material.

ü  Students will create a custom material tag

ü  Students will apply the paint to a room in the building and apply the custom tag in (Interior) Elevation view.

Closure:

ü  There are multiple ways of documenting the materials in a Revit model….the software is not perfect.

ü  Creating custom annotations (tags in this case) is a critical job skills for an Interior Designer.

ü  GIGO. The tags will only pick up the data if it’s there. Work in the beginning….

ü  Smart tags and smart materials are critical to having a coordinated model….fewer mistakes.

Materials Used:

Revit Tutorial book, Revit software, classroom control software or overhead projector.
