F i g u R e 9 4 0 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).
T I P 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

F i g u R e 9 4 1 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.
N O T E 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
N O T E 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″

F i g u R e 9 4 2 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
F i g u R e 9 4 3 Adding the urinals to the men’s room
Trang 4I n t e r i o r D e s i g n 4 1 7
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.
F i g u R e 9 4 4 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.

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.

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
F i g u R e 9 4 6 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

Corridor Perspective This will give you a good idea of how the
up-lighting influences the corridor (see Figure 9.51)
F i g u R e 9 5 0 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

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

5 Click Open.
6 Click the Place A Component button; then, in the Change Element
7 Place the credenza desk into the room, as shown near the top of
Figure 9.52
F i g u R e 9 5 2 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
