Online Revit Course | Autodesk Revit for Beginners

This lesson introduces absolute beginners to Autodesk Revit, focusing on creating a strong foundation for future projects. The course, designed in response to user feedback, starts with simpler, manageable projects. You'll learn the importance of setting up project templates, configuring basic settings like units and wall types, and navigating Revit's interface.

In this lesson, you'll dive into the practical aspects of creating the building's envelope using Autodesk Revit. Starting with setting up walls and floors, you'll learn how to accurately model the exterior and interior walls, ensuring they align perfectly with your project specifications.

In this lesson, you'll finalize the second floor and roof structure of your Revit project. You'll learn how to create and adjust various roof types, ensuring proper alignment and slope with the walls. The lesson also covers adding internal walls and cutting openings to maintain architectural consistency.

In lesson four, you'll focus on creating and modifying stairs, ramps, and railings in Revit. The lesson begins by introducing ramps and their use in providing accessible, gradual elevation changes, particularly for wheelchair users. You'll learn how to adjust ramp parameters like slope and length, based on building regulations.

In lesson five, you'll learn how to manage doors, windows, and curtain walls in Revit. The lesson covers inserting standard and custom doors, including double and garage doors. You'll explore curtain walls, focusing on setting up grids and mullions for large glazing sections.

In lesson six, we focus on adding furniture and fixtures to your Revit project. The lesson begins with a brief detail on creating recessed panels in front and rear elevations by splitting walls and adjusting thickness. Then, it delves into placing furniture using Autodesk families.

In lesson seven, we shift focus from modelling to essential 2D tools in Revit. We explore the difference between model lines and detail lines, with model lines appearing in all views and detail lines being view-specific. We also cover how to create custom line styles for different purposes.

In lesson eight, we focus on modelling a simple site in Revit. We start by creating a basic landform using the topo solid tool, allowing for a gentle slope from the house toward the back of the site. The lesson covers how to add detail to the site, such as a driveway and garden walls.

In Lesson 9, we delve into using Revit's parameters to add detailed information to walls, doors, windows, and roofs. The lesson begins with a brief mention of grid lines but quickly focuses on creating and modifying wall types, demonstrating how changes can be applied across a project.

In Lesson 10, the focus is on mastering views and view templates in Revit. The lesson starts by explaining the organization of the project browser, highlighting the importance of views, legends, schedules, and sheets. It then demonstrates how to create and apply view templates to streamline the process of managing multiple views.

In Lesson 11, the focus shifts to creating and managing room tags and area plans in Revit, providing a break from the more technical content of previous lessons. You learn how to use room tags to label and define spaces, using room bounding and room separators to control the areas.

In Lesson 12, you learn how to label and number doors and windows in a floor plan, then create schedules to organize this information. The lesson covers tagging doors and windows with consistent naming conventions. It also addresses handling doors within curtain walls and customizing tags.

In Lesson 13, you'll explore additional annotation tools and basic detailing techniques in Revit. The lesson starts with spot elevation, coordinate systems, and slope annotations, essential for accurate architectural planning. You'll learn to create architectural sections, strip sections, and detailed callouts.

In Lesson 14, you dive into the details of creating and managing sheets in Revit. The lesson walks you through the process of setting up a custom title block, organizing sheet numbering, and adding essential project information like client names, project names, and revision details.

In Lesson 15, you'll learn to efficiently export your Revit drawings using the Pro Sheets plugin. This tool simplifies the process, automatically recognizing portrait or landscape orientations and paper sizes, saving you hours of manual adjustments.

The bonus area allows us to dive into some of the finer details missed in earlier lessons and respond to community feedback. In our first session, you'll learn how to modify the window cut within a wall, adjusting the shape to create elements like arched windows.

In this lesson, we tackle a common query regarding visibility settings and work planes in Revit families. You'll learn how to add model lines to windows to indicate openings, adjust visibility settings, and control how information is displayed across different views.

We explore the power of Revit's graphic overrides, proving that with a bit of finesse, Revit can produce visually striking drawings & diagrams. Starting with selecting a colour palette using Adobe Colour, the lesson dives into how to apply and adjust graphic overrides for various elements.

Here, we delve into Revit's powerful "Model In-Place" tools, offering flexibility for creating custom elements that go beyond the usual modelling tool set. From simple extrusions to more advanced features like blends, sweeps, and voids, you'll see how to craft complex shapes.

Explore how to create complex, fluid forms using Revit's mass modelling tools, inspired by the iconic designs of Zaha Hadid. Starting with basic work planes, you'll learn to craft dynamic shapes with the spline tool, mimicking freeform architecture.
