Revit Architecture - Fundamentals For Beginners

For users of Revit 2023 and above. 1 main project that will teach you how to build a model and prepare drawings

What you'll learn

How to start a revit project from scratch using a template and take a project from start to finish using the revit

Understand the User Interface and be able to navigate a revit project and load families into your project

All major components of revit required to build detailed models and documentation

What BIM means, The fundamentals of Revit and the common terminology used in this software

Requirements

Students should have a good working knowledge of how to use a computer.

Previous Revit or CAD experience is not required. This course will use Revit 2023 but for anyone using Revit 2021 and newer

Working exercise files will be provided

We dont support Revit being run on a Macbooks and apple devices

Description

Autodesk Revit – For the Beginners wanting to learn how to model and use revit from drawing production.Course ContentI will guide you through the installation process, and make sure ensuring you have installed the software correctly and we will be using the metric library and templates. If you wish to use a different version that’s ok too. All the processes and how we use Revit will be the same no matter the region you are in.You don’t need previous experience with Revit or CAD based softwares. By the end of the course, you’ll understand BIM (Building Information Management), parametric modelling and essential terminology used in the world of revit. You’ll also know how to navigate the User Interface and by the end you will be confident to start modelling your own projects in Revit.We start with a blank exercise file.Starting with a Blank project file we will then begin to build our project, introducing a new tools, techniques, and features as we move through the course. This includes:- Adding in the datum elements, such as the levels and grids.- Modelling elements including walls, windows, doors, floors, ceilings, curtain walls, and roofs.- Loading families and placing casework, furniture, and plumbing fixturesWe will then leverage the 3D model we have created and create 2D details, annotating and tagging the detail, create schedules & legends, elevations and sections as well as render images.To fish off we will then create sheets place views on these sheets and understand the entire workflow of modelling, drafting and sheet creation.Alongside the videos, I have supplied you with exercise files to help you on your way.I continually update this course as new features and workflows are released into Revit so you will always learn something new with this course.I look forward to seeing you in class to develop your Revit skills
