The Complete Revit 2026 Course For Architectural Design

Learn how to model and create a full set of architectural drawings in Revit 2026—from first wall to final sheet.

What you'll learn

Model a complete residential project in Revit 2026 from scratch, following the actual construction sequence used on real job sites.

Create a full set of architectural drawings, including presentation plans, working floor plans, elevations, building sections, door & window schedules, stair pl

Build custom Revit families for doors, windows, railings, curtain walls, chajjas, and furniture—using a flexible, reusable approach.

Organize projects with professional standards, using ISO 19650-based naming conventions, templates, and clean library setups.

Leverage Revit 2026’s newest tools like Smart Grids, Toposolids, upgraded graphic styles, and energy analysis features to work faster and smarter.

Confidently move from design to documentation, producing sheet sets that are ready for clients, consultants, and contractors.

Requirements

No prior experience with Revit is required. I’ll guide you step-by-step from setting up your project to delivering a full set of drawings.

Basic understanding of architecture or construction is helpful (knowing what a wall, slab, or roof is will make things easier).

A computer capable of running Revit 2026 — ideally with at least 16GB RAM and a decent graphics card for smooth modeling.

Access to Revit 2026 (you can use the free student/trial version if needed).

A mouse with a scroll wheel is highly recommended for efficient navigation inside Revit.

A second screen or a tablet can be useful for watching lessons while working in Revit at the same time.

Description

If you've been struggling to piece together how a real project is built and documented in Revit, this course will change everything. Together, we’ll start from scratch and build a full residential project in Revit 2026, covering not just modeling, but also how to set up a proper working set of drawings—presentation plans, construction floor plans, elevations, sections, door & window schedules, staircase plans, and more.We’ll work the way it’s done on real projects:Build in construction order — set levels, model walls, floors, slabs, and roofs just like on-site.Dive deep into families — you'll learn to create your own doors, windows, railings, curtain walls, chajjas, kitchen units, and a lot more.Learn ISO 19650-based naming — so your views, sheets, and families stay organized from day one.Leverage the latest Revit 2026 features — new toposolids, smart grids, improved energy tools, and more.Deep dives — every module has extra lessons if you want to go beyond the basics and master professional tips.Exercise files and custom libraries included — and you'll also learn how to create your own reusable library and project template.Everything you’ll see is exactly how I work on real-world projects—with tips, shortcuts, and small corrections that only come with 10+ years of experience as an architect.By the end, you won’t just know how to "use Revit." You’ll know how to build and document a real project properly, from start to finish—ready for clients, consultants, and the construction team.If you’re tired of half-baked tutorials and want to actually deliver a complete residential project in Revit, this course is for you.
