Discover Autodesk Revit step by step, the industry standard for architectural, engineering, and construction elements, and create a one-story house plan with textures and lighting.
Start Autodesk Revit from the desktop icon to reach the splash screen, then open existing models or create a new file, and exit by clicking the top right corner.
Explore the Revit user interface and start a model by selecting a template and units (metric or imperial) with context-sensitive tools in the quick access toolbar, ribbon, and project browser.
Create a desktop folder of your choice, unzip the sample files from the resources section (My Houseplant), and save them for use in all forthcoming Autodesk Revit lectures.
Begin building a three-dimensional one-story house in Autodesk Revit from provided ground and first floor plans, learning key commands and project setup as you model rooms, dimensions, and spaces.
Learn how to start a Revit project, save it as a house plan, and create four levels: ground level, ground floor, first floor, and terrace, with exact heights.
Learn how to create walls on the ground level in Autodesk Revit, set nine-inch wall thickness, input exact lengths, and view results in 3d.
learn to create ground floor walls in Revit, using nine-inch outer walls and four-and-a-half-inch inner walls, constrained from ground floor to first floor, with dimension checks and realistic view.
Learn to place and size furniture on the ground floor in Revit, including beds, storage units, dining tables, seating, kitchen cabinetry, and appliances using load family and edit type features.
Create a five-foot-thick boundary wall, establish a six-foot height, offset the ground-floor parking floor by six inches, and install a gate with columns at ten feet three inches.
Tag and dimension the ground floor plan in Autodesk Revit, rename rooms, place dimensions with annotate, and adjust wall visibility for a clearer floor plan.
Learn to create stairs with headroom across ground and first floors in Autodesk Revit, setting riser height, run, thickness, and supports, then design floors, walls, doors, and windows.
Learn to model a terrace exterior by shaping walls, setting precise heights, adding railings, creating boundary features, and detailing with profiles, rectangles, and offsets in Revit.
Learn to design exterior side-wall windows in Revit by creating in-place casings, extruding rectangles, applying offsets, and finishing with eight-inch thickness and a shared extrusion for window panes.
Create pillars and beams to support the terrace floor in revit. Place 9x12 inch columns, extend to the terrace top, and model beams between pillars with in-place components.
Design the front window in Autodesk Revit by building in-place frame geometry, applying offsets and grooves, then carve openings with void forms and view the result in realistic mode.
Create a frame for a CNC partition on a terrace in Revit by modeling in place, drawing a rectangle on a chosen plane, applying offsets, trimming, and finishing the extrusion.
Create and sweep the ground-floor ceiling in revit, filling the gap to the upper floor with a designed profile and preview it in realistic mode.
Create footpaths and a road in Revit by setting the ground view, drawing lines, and defining 5, 10, and 20 ft spans with a road depth of minus 2 inches.
Create a sliding entrance for a car in Autodesk Revit using model in place and extrusion, with 3D realistic views guiding profile tracing and finishing.
Create colors and paint walls in a Revit model by defining new materials (white, maroon, and a third color), configuring graphics, appearance, reflectivity, and bump, then apply to walls.
Learn to paint the floor and front exteriors in Autodesk Revit by selecting elements, editing in place, and applying gray and maroon materials before finishing the model.
Learn to modify front railings in Revit by converting handrails to rectangular, adjusting banisters and top rails, and creating a CNC cutout material for realistic detailing.
Learn to paint a wall gray and extend the side wall in Autodesk Revit, using face selection, splitting, and material assignment, including aligning columns and banister details.
Learn to create and apply road, footpath, and floor materials in Revit, using textures, bump maps, and scale adjustments to achieve realistic surfaces.
Create the site topography around your model by placing points and adjusting elevations. Apply the grass materials, set four inches below the footpath, and design planting beds with in-place components.
create front fascia embellishments in revit by modeling three wooden blocks, configuring extrusions, and aligning them with the wall to achieve a presentable facade.
Learn to add ceiling lights on the ground floor and place lights on the first floor where ceilings are absent, using architecture components and previewing lighting effects.
Learn to place hedges on edges and add plants on first floor and terrace in Revit using Enscape, adjust elevations, switch between floor plans and 3D views, render previews.
As with BIM you work solely on one single project, so I have constructed this course in the same way.
If you do not have previous experience with Revit or any CAD based software, don’t worry. I will start off from the beginning building you up to be more than capable at creating your own Revit models.
The course will start off by giving a brief introduction to the fundamentals of a building, what is BIM an then moving onto the basics of Revit; from the terminology which Revit uses to the tools and interface.
We will then begin to build on our project, introducing a new tool and feature as we progress.
Adding in the datum elements, such as the levels and grids.
Structural components, such as the Structural and Architectural columns
Major and Minor Components like the; walls, windows, doors, floors, stairs, ceilings, curtain walls and roofs.
We will then take it to the next level and learn how to create 2D details, how to tag the components, create schedules & legends, creating render images and video walk-throughs.
Finally, I continually update this course to keep it up to date with the new releases as well as adding new videos.
I look forward to seeing you in class!
