Autodesk Revit Structure 2021 - Beginner to Intermediate

Explore the visual feedback in the drawing area, including temporary dimensions, grips, and aligning lines that appear when you select walls or levels.

Learn general drawing techniques in Revit to place and create objects using the annotate tab, detail lines, snapping, and temporary dimensions.

Master creating and formatting text in Revit, including copying from notes, pasting into text boxes, wrapping, bolding, italicizing, spell checking, finding and replacing, and adjusting alignment, leaders, and arrows.

Place grids in Autodesk Revit using the grid tool to draw straight or multi-segment lines, copy for spacing, and rely on automatic renumbering with height in elevation.

Learn to create and modify wall types in Revit by duplicating a 200 generic wall to a 190 concrete masonry wall with blocks and a 35 mil corrugated iron finish.

Finish the building by adding and aligning concrete masonry columns and corrugated walls in Revit, using align, copy, and create similar tools to set level constraints and grid-based placements.

Create sections from a floor plan, select a section type, and place points to cut through a building, while using view range, section markers, and cropping for precise sectional views.

Create and edit callouts in Revit from the view tab; a building section view appears as a blue bubble in the project browser. Double-click to adjust scale and annotation.

Create framing elevations by attaching the view to a grid line, using the grid as a work plane, and drawing beams and columns with detail set from coarse to fine.

Create plan views by duplicating plain views for each level, including floor and structural plans, and learn when to use duplicate with detailing versus plain duplication.

Create a slab edge type by duplicating and editing a profile, set 600 by 300 and 150 depth, assign the slab material, join geometry, and adjust offsets for a step.

Create an in-place family in Revit Structure 2021 by sweeping a profile along edges using the pick path option, then set material and subcategory to edges for consistency.

Create level one stairs with a monolithic stair, set rises and 1200 mm width, add a landing, then add railings on level two and verify alignment in 3D.

Place area reinforcement on the suspended slab and add path reinforcement to tie it to the wall, using 90-degree hooks and 300 mm staggered spacing.

Place stair reinforcement in Revit using sketch tools and cover lines, set 200 mm longitudinal spacing, and place cross-sectional rebars with specified values, adjusting cover as needed.

Place eaves beams on the roof level using the structure tab, align to selected grids, and adjust a 150 millimeter z offset for correct 3d positioning.

Place rafters along the grid at a 10-degree slope, trim and join them, and copy or mirror to the roof plan level, then set structural usage.

Master placing purlins on rafters in Revit structure by using pick lines and workplane tools, adjusting elevation, spacing up to twelve hundred, rotation, and laps for accurate roof framing.

Place girts on walls in Revit structure 2021, adjust orientation and spacing, set layout rules to 900 centers, switch to light gauge joists, and align with end snap.

Discover how modifying steel beams with the multitool converts them into Advanced Steel objects, altering properties like coating and cut length, with undo as the only revert.

Create and divide parts on a slab using a division profile joint in Revit structure. Learn to adjust boundaries, handle warped slabs, and apply joints and profile options.

Create and explore assemblies by modeling a structural foundation assembly for a pad footing, then pull out views, schedules, and sections to inspect footing details.

Explore visibility graphics in Revit Structure 2021 to toggle model categories, adjust transparency, and manage projection and cut lines for walls, floors, and reinforcement across views with a view template.

Master how to adjust Autodesk Revit's view range by setting top, bottom, and depth values, slicing through models to reveal stairs, rails, and walls.

Create and customize schedules in Revit by selecting fields for footings and steel columns, then filter, group, and format data—adjusting elevations, cut lengths, and units.

Generate a graphical column schedule in Revit, adjust scale and level of detail. Create a concrete-column filter using manufacturer equals BHP, hide steel columns, and add reinforcement details.

Detail components provide ready-made pieces for drafting views, loadable from data sets, snapped and oriented to beams for precise placement, enabling callouts and repeating data for detailed CMU blocks.

Explore annotated symbols in Autodesk Revit Structure 2021, including north arrows, set-out markers, and direction symbols, and learn how annotation scales adapt with view changes while model elements stay constant.
