Revit Architecture Essentials
Revit changes the way buildings are designed and documented.
About this course
Revit changes the way buildings are designed and documented. Instead of drawing separate lines, you build one intelligent model from which plans, sections, elevations, schedules and 3D views are produced and kept in step automatically.
Across six days you will set up a project, model a complete building with walls, floors, roofs, stairs and openings, work with families and types, and produce annotated, scheduled sheets ready to issue. You will understand BIM in practice, not just in theory.
What you'll learn
- Explain BIM concepts and how the parametric Revit model works.
- Set up a project with levels, grids, templates and linked CAD files.
- Model walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, doors, windows, stairs and railings.
- Use and modify families and types.
- Create plans, sections, elevations and 3D views and control their visibility.
- Add dimensions, tags, rooms and schedules.
- Prepare sheets and export documentation to PDF and CAD.
