Autodesk Revit: From Beginner to Intermediate | BIM Project

Learn essential Revit skills from scratch, explore the interface, and set up projects. Build a detailed 3D building and generate documentation and BIM schedules.

Discover the Revit software interface, including recent files, families, ribbons, templates, and project properties, to start new metric projects and navigate views and tools.

Set autosave reminders and configure units in project preferences, including meters and cubic meters, then create a project view parameter to separate model and presentation views and organize sheets.

Learn how to import a CAD file into Revit, use link versus import, adjust colors and units, place at level one, and save the project with backups.

Set levels for a multi-story Revit project from level one to the roof, adjust heights and distances, and generate floor plans, then navigate with the 3D view cube.

Configure walls in Revit by selecting a wall type, adjusting location line and level constraints, and building multi-layer walls with brick, substrate, and paint.

Draw exterior walls in Revit, adjust references with space bar, and use select, group, and mirror tools to duplicate and align walls along the center line for four apartments per level.

Create concrete floors for the apartments by duplicating a floor type, setting a 150 mm thickness, and tracing walls to finish level one floor plan in 3d view.

Load families for aluminium windows, double windows, simple doors, beds, and furniture; edit the apartment group to place windows and doors, leveraging the mirrored group, then review in 3d view.

Load families and place furniture components in Revit, from wardrobes and beds to kitchen appliances, to build the apartment layout and verify it in a 3D view before saving.

Learn to place bathroom elements in revit using sections, align walls and hosts, and set elevations to position a shower, toilet, basin, and glass accurately.

Edit the group to replace a misbehaving glass panel using a solid void, load into the project, and sketch a glass panel railing for the apartments while adjusting height.

Copy the first floor to levels 2 through 6, then build a straight monolithic staircase using 16 risers and 0.28 m tread depth, and adjust the rail curvature.

Create a roof by footprint on level seven, adjust the view range to see level six, apply Kay Wood shingles, and attach walls to the roof base across apartments.

Learn to create quantity schedules in Revit for doors and windows, including level, height, width, and type mark. Sort and group, enable totals, and adjust appearance.

Learn to divide an apartment into rooms, insert area tags, and generate a labeled list of area measurements in square meters using separators and tags in Revit.

Create a room schedule to quantify apartment areas by level, group by level and area, and display grand totals with counts and formatted area totals.

Duplicate and arrange independent views to create print-ready sheets, customize colors, add measurements and scales, and load and organize site, level plans, 3d views, and schedules for printing.

Learn to change project information in Revit by editing the project name, local address, and author, then duplicate views, crop regions, annotate measurements, and organize schedules.

Learn to detail level plans in Revit by duplicating levels two through six, adjusting crop regions and scales, and applying measurements for apartment layouts.

Create sections inside the apartment to show parts on new sheets, adjust the section box and view direction, then insert a camera and place 3D views.

Apply sectioning to the bathroom and kitchen in a floor plan, adjust section heights, rename views, create 3d view cameras, and organize sheets with appropriate scale and level of detail.

Create bedroom and external sections in Revit, adjust section direction and scale, set 3D views and cameras, rename sheets, and assemble views on labeled sheets for the BIM project.

Duplicate the elevation view, hide elements, and adjust the graphics display with a gradient background. Annotate dimensions, arrange sheets, and print the completed elevation project.

Print your Revit sheets by selecting views, choosing a printer or PDF report writer, and setting the print range and paper size before generating the output.
