Shed Project


In this project we were told to designe a shed on Revit. We were told how to and had to fallow the directions science this was our first time using Revit.

In this project i learned the basics of how to use Revit. What was challenging was the fact that I had never used the program before so just knowing where everything is and how to accomplish certain tasks. It was important because it showed me the simplicity of revit (kinda) but the complexity of a shed.

Roof Project



In this project we were required to create a roof style with the necessary parts of the roof shown like shingles, under-lament, trusses.


In this project we learned the different parts of the roof and what they are used for. I liked how much time we had to do this project because we could relax and not have to rush. I liked everything about this project so i would not change anything.
