Figure below shown a 5-floors building, where the user just copy input of the last floor and paste three more floors in Excel. Additionally, the top roofing is offset inside the building to give open space at the two ends of the building. Heights of the open walls here (glass) are set to 3m, where the top floor is raised to 8m height compared to 6m for the lower floors.
The next three figures show interior rooms which are also created automatically by input region Internal Design. To design the internal rooms, create first external dimensions of the walls which are the basis for the rooms. These walls are numbered along the Front, Right, Back and Left side of the building. When you want to undo an ICDAS add-ins action, just press Ctrl+Z, modify Excel input, and run add-ins again. In region internal design you can enter 0/1 for non-structural/ structural at each wall. The last figure is showing all structural elements of the building where the walls are in aqua and the floors are in orange colour. You can further create beams and columns automatically in case the deck spans are too long. See analysis section for how to obtain this Revit structural model in LUSAS or other FEM software.
