Revit Autodesk Essentials 2025 – Beginner to Intermediate

Set up a Revit project with the architectural template, configure project information, tailor units by discipline, and set the project location to support accurate shadows and lighting.

Link CAD drawings into a Revit project, using link vs import, then pin and align ground and first floor plans at level zero and level one for precise coordination.

Build and customize an exterior wall in Revit, creating a 380 mm wall assembly with brick render, insulation, concrete masonry, and plasterboard, highlighting core boundary and placement.

Place internal walls with precise centerline alignment using snap previews and plasterboard and concrete masonry components, then verify in a 3D view.

Learn to model wall foundations and footings in Revit, duplicating wall types, adjusting thickness and base/top offsets, and placing external and internal foundation walls.

Create ground and first floors with floor architectural, use pick walls to define the boundary and extend into the wall core for accuracy, then split element to ensure continuity.

Create pitched roofs with roof by footprint, use trusses, set 400 mm overhang and extend to wall core, then edit the boundary by selecting walls to finish in 3D.

Create fascia and soffit profiles in Revit by duplicating a 19 by 445 mm fascia and a 20 mm soffit, then place around the roof perimeter and verify alignment.

Learn to add gutters to a roof in Revit by editing and duplicating gutter types, applying bevel profiles, and creating end caps with model in place or reusable families.

Place and adjust 100mm square drainpipes from the gutter, duplicating a generic pipe, editing type and family parameters, and aligning them in 3d to fit the fascia and soffit.

Learn to create a parametric window family in Revit by using the sweep tool to form the frame, constrain geometry with reference planes and align constraints, and test family parameters.

Create glass by extruding a rectangle, align and constrain reference planes, and apply glass material; duplicate the extrusion and fit the aluminium frame, testing height and width.

Load and place furniture components from the Revit library, align them to walls and edges, and customize type, dimensions, and elevation. Use tiled views to manage placement.

Explore multiple design options within a single Revit model by creating an option set with a primary and secondary options, assigning elements, and switching views to compare configurations.

Utilize massing and site tools to model site environment, create a topo solid from sketch or import, place building pads, add elevation points, and carve a void for the building.

Separate the topo solid into roadway, lawn, driveway, and footpaths, then create footpaths with a 1000 mm extrusion. Split edges to designate asphalt for roadway and concrete for the driveway.

Learn to prepare elevation views in Revit using visibility graphics overrides to hide concrete patterns and elevation markers, add earth layers, adjust topo solids, and apply dimensions.

Master sheets setup, guide grid alignment, and view placement in Revit to print-ready layouts, including A1 and A3 sheet sizing, crop adjustments, and setting the starting view.

Set up Twinmotion from the Autodesk dashboard or Unreal Engine, enable direct link synchronization with Revit, and learn to adjust materials, navigate scenes, and export outputs.

Explore rendering in Twinmotion: create high-quality images and videos, adjust environment, lighting, camera settings, enable ray tracing, save camera positions, and export to cloud for interactive client reviews.
