EXTERNAL ENVELOPE (External Solid Door)

External 44mm Thick Solid Door, size 813 x 2032mm high

The doorset in a wall opening, for walking through, or on a cupboard. External doors are used for access and internal doors for communicating. Single and double doors are usually side-hung, but there are other types, e.g. flexible, sliding, swing, revolving, folding, and up-and-over. Special doors are used against fire or smoke.

In Revit, the door is drawn using a Door family which provides a count measurement to SkyBIM.

Example: External Solid Door

INTERNAL DIVISIONS (Half Brick Walls)

Internal Half Brick Wall 90mm Thick

A brick wall is a wall made up of courses of bricks laid in mortar according to a bond, used for cladding and infilling.
In Revit, the one brick wall is drawn using a Basic Wall family which provides quantity, length, area and volume measurements to SkyBIM’s Product Editor.

Example: Internal Half Brick Wall 90mm Thick

GROUND FLOOR CONSTRUCTION (Mass Concrete Surface Bed)

A mass concrete surface bed is the un-reinforced slab that is supported by the ground, unlike a suspended slab. It can be on fill, which should not exceed 600mm in thickness. The formation may be shaped for thickenings and covered with hardcore and sand bedding or a layer of blinding concrete. It may also need a sheet plastics damp proof membrane, depending on site conditions and building occupancy. Large areas of surface bed are cast in alternate bays.

In Revit, the mass concrete surface bed is drawn using a Floor family which provides quantity, perimeter, area and volume measurements to SkyBIM’s Product Editor.

Example: Mass Concrete Surface Bed 170mm thick on and including 150mm thick sub-base layer laid on DPM

SkyBIM Product Editor Ingredients

Prepare platform to receive surface bed
Area = Revit Area of Floor Slab. See SkyBIM’s Consumption Formula Editor.

Rip and compact platform to 98% mod AASH
Area = Revit Area of Floor Slab

Making good 150mm Thick sub-base below surface bed
Volume = Revit Area of Floor Slab * Sub-base Thickness

350 Micron USB green damp proof membrane
Area = Revit Area of Floor Slab

Finishing top surfaces of concrete smooth with a power float
Area = Revit Area of Floor Slab

30 Mpa unreinforced concrete in surface beds
Volume = Revit Volume of Floor Slab

Mesh reference 193 to surface beds
Area = Revit Area of Floor Slab

Formwork to edge of surface bed
Perimeter = Revit Perimeter of Floor Slab

Saw cut joints 3 x 40mm deep into 5.00 x 5.00m panels
Length = Revit Area of Floor Slab/Area of 5*5m panels (Manual) * Perimeter of 5*5m panels (Manual)
