The property pallet: assuming you click on your profile on facebook, what happens? Every information relating to you shows up right?and you could quickly make some changes to your marital status, age, sex, location bla bla bla. This is exactly what the property pallet is all about, when any item in our model(by model I mean drawing) is clicked upon, every information relating to that particular selected element shows up in the property pallet. it is a very important feature of revit architecure, this pallet enables us make quick changes to our model by giving us quick access to settings related to the item selected. when any item is selected, the settings and properties related to the selected item or element shows up in the property pallet, users of auto cad should be familiar with this feature. It should be noted that when nothing is selected,the property pallet displays information about the current view( don't get confused about the word "current view" because as we get started you would get to know more about views). The type selector is also a part of the property pallet,but for the sake of simplicity,I'll skip discussions relating to the "type selector" just have it at the back of your mind that there is sum thing known as type selector which is located within the property pallet. The project browser: it is located at the left portion of the window below the property pallet. The project browser contains a list of all the view, schedules, legends, sheets etc. If you want to view any portion of your model such as floor plan, ceiling plan, elevation, or 3d view, this is where to look. For the rookies don't get confused with the funny words like elevation, schedules, etc,once we get started with the actual modeling it would become clearer. The option bar: take for instance you went to an atm to withdraw some money, once u slot in the card and key in your security pin,what happens? several options pop up which depends on the command you selected from list of commands right?,this is exactly how the option bar works, the options available on the option bar depends on the command selected during modeling,so basically the option bar brings out a list of option related to the selected command. I think I'm getting bored of theses big big talk, so for the sake of simplicity I'll skip th revit menu,information central and view control bar,I'll explain there functions once we get our hands dirty on some projects. The drawing area: just as the name implies,this is where the actual modeling takes place and all the views in the project browser opens in this very drawing area.

1)Quick access tool bar: take for instance a carpenter working on a project; the most likely tool the carpenter would keep close to himself is his measuring tape and hammer. This is because these are the tools he uses often during the execution of his task. Same thing applies to the QAT. The QAT which is located at the top left portion of the window contains tools and commands which are used regularly during modeling. Tools used often during modeling are placed in the QAT for easy access, when we begin the actual modeling you will get to appreciate the QAT functionality. 2)The ribbon: look at the ‘RIBBON’ as a female handbag which is made up of chambers known as the “TABS” and each chamber contains different make up kits known as ‘PANNELS’ and inside these makeup kits, similar makeup are placed together. Almost all the commands we use during modeling are found in the ribbon. The ribbon consists of tabs; each tab is further divided into panels with which contain similar tools. The image labeled I-X are the tabs, while the image labeled 1-7 are panels. It is important to note that the content of the panel changes according to the selected tab.

Default revit architecture 2013 user interface (UI)

| Career › Revit Architecture For Rookies: A Bottom Up Approach by double3(op): 4:49pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
What is Autodesk Revit architecture? Autodesk Revit architecture is design software used to create computer aided design of buildings and there documentation. Who needs this tutorial? The targeted audiences are users of Revit architecture, both old and new users, computer draftsmen, architects, civil engineers, interior designers, builders and estate surveyors with interest in CAD, facility planners, and engineers who wishes to expand there knowledge in the field of design. Prior knowledge of computer aided design is not necessary in other to learn Revit architecture although advantageous. It is going to be assumed that before now you all know the basics of windows operating system, if you don’t then this tutorial is definitely not meant for you. What approach would be used for this tutorial? A practical and hands on approach would be the focus of this series using a bottom up approach. Technicality would be minimal to ensure the rookies are carried along. Topic one: User interface (UI) Look at user interface like a kitchen, when you work into a kitchen what do you see? where are the cutleries placed, where is the location of the cupboard, are the cups placed inside the cupboard or the oven, are the spoons placed inside the fridge or the pots, where is the oven located, where is the location of the sink etc. having a proper understanding of the locations of theses tools and equipment would enable cooking easier. The user interface is the default window that displays when the software is lunched. The user interface comprises of quick access toolbar, tabs, panels, ribbon, information center, option bar, project browser, property pallet, drawing area, visual control bar and status bar. Just like the analogy of the kitchen, a proper understanding of the UI would enable drafting easier and more efficient. |

lagbaja: This is a cheery news for only those who don't understand the steel industry. There are dozens of Nigerian companies already producing rods and angles bars from recycled iron and billets, (sun ands sand, metafric, Phoenics et all). Ajaokuta coming out to celebrate Converting billets to rods is a shameful act. The company was designed to produce billets from iron ore for other smaller companies. They can't compete in their new found venture. This news is a political statement in preparation for 2015.A million thanks to you,I'm happy we still have right thinking individuals here on NL,you just said it all in few sentences...we should be crying,this development doesn't call for celebration at all. 3 Likes |

Kesmakveli: ThankGod this came to pass, Happy @ the good news, Nigeria is full of resources but the part problems we have is mismanagement and corruption! I just pray the bad eggs amongst us won't destroy these efforts. #GodforbidI'm surprised that there is jubilation in the air because ajeokuta steel company could "FORM"(for non engineering students forming in this scenario is similar to importing flour and baking kpof kpof or chin chin ) a metal. That company was initially designed to produce iron and steel from its ore(hermitite) and not to convert billet into finished products. What ajeokuta steel is doing now is merely to melt imported steel and form rods and other products, quite a shame if you ask me. Nigerians love swimming in the waters of mediocrity. 4 Likes |

aribitoye: Only this guy has hit the nail. Without the blast furnace at Ajaokuta being completed, there is no commercial hope for steel production. The blast furnace needs iron ore concentrate from itakpe , coal from Enugu coal mines, and limestone from deposits scattered in Nigeria. Without these raw materials, there is no sane and viable production of billets for steel making that can be commercially marketable. Importing the billets is not the best because the production cost will be too high and the company will run at a loss.Do u know why that blast furnace has been abandoned for years,? Its because the coal needed for production which is found in enugu coal mines cannot be converted into coke required to reduce the ore in the blast furnace. My point being that the blast furnace route wasn't the best route we should have taken in other to produce our steel from its ore. I think it was discovered very late by then billions of money had already been sank into the project. Now the solution would be to find a cheap technology that could convert enugu's non cokeable coal into coke or abandon the blast furnace route which requires coal for pig iron production and look for alternative technology which wouldn't require coal for production. |

obailala: @double3I get your point,but the issue here is that those plants making use of coal as raw material to produce electricity where built long before the world started laying emphasis on clean source of energy and it may interest you to know that some of these coal plants are being decommissioned due to its impact on the ecosystem,therefore It would be ideal for us to tap into the current clean and green technology. To further stress my point, this is an online article I copied "...About 6.1 gigawatts of UK coal plant capacity is expected to shut down by 2015 due to the European Union's Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD). The LCPD requires plants to reduce sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter emissions. If plants choose not to comply, they can only operate for a further 20,000 hours - and must shut down for good by 2015. The map below shows which UK plants have closed since 2011, and are expected to close in the next decade .." In summary,we should be moving forward and not backwards. We shouldn't be spending resources, time and energy building what others are destroying. |

Coal is not a clean source of energy,any mega project involving burning of coal to produce electricity is not ideal in this very 21st century. The world is going green therefore we should tap into the green economy as well. 3 Likes |

Do u mean metallurgy engineering or metallurgical engineering, if what u meant is the former then there re few prospects presently;this is due to the fact that we don't do much of mineral exploration n mining presently, but if u combine the course with materials engineering then the future is definitely bright cos a material/metallurgical engineer has a greater chance of securing a job when compared to a metallurgical engineer. |
