GREEN UTILITY SHED
Introduction
The Green Utility Shed Project was designed to reintroduce us to the Revit program. We had to design a realistic shed that followed the given constraints including;
• 12 ft x 16 ft footprint
• 8 ft wall height
• One exterior wall should include brick
• Three exterior walls with 2 x 4 wood frame construction and siding
• 6 in. concrete floor
• Gable roof
• One single panel exterior door
• At least two windows
Using the given directions we had to navigate our way through the program to create our shed and the B-sized construction drawing sheet. We were able to successfully create our project using the different components of revit (walls, floors, and roofs) and also being able to edit the types and materials of the design.

Reflection
I really enjoyed the Green Utility Shed Project, being able to use revit again and explore its abilities is like trying to solve a puzzle! Using the instructions and going step by step really helped me to create my shed because some of the little icons and details that are necessary are very hard to find. However, I did run into a scare when my flash drive wouldn't open and getting files to save, I thought I had lost everything, but it was recovered! This program is a huge stepping stone in civil engineering and architecture design because it makes projects like these so efficient. Being able to use this program in class and becoming more familiar with it really excites me about the future of home design which is what I really want to do. Although it was stressful the project taught me a lot about attention to detail and focus to make sure I was doing the right steps, and I can't wait to continue to use Revit when we design our own homes!
