BIM Project Masterclass: Revit Architecture, Structure & MEP

Coordinate architectural and structural plans in Revit, report interferences, and use Navisworks and Dynamo for 4D simulation to optimize BIM workflow.

Set the Revit project units to meters to align with client requirements and CAD plans. Apply two-decimal rounding and suppress trailing zeros for a clean, precise plan.

Draw a unified foundation in Revit, account for wells and elevator shafts, and set lean concrete and foundation levels using level references like -14.7 and -16.2, with sections guiding details.

Create column types and place columns in Revit, using the project plan to set elevations and sizes, and verify alignment across levels for a completed column layout.

Link the structural plan into the architectural file, copy monitor its levels and grids, and align zero points using internal origin to maintain synchronized views.

This lecture shows drawing curtain walls in Revit, modeling mullions, setting glass thickness and mullion spacing, and coordinating phase one with detail sheets while reporting plan contradictions.

Create curtain wall types in Revit, define two mullion spacings 2 m and 4 m, design double glazed glass panels, and detail mullions with CAD references.

Model interior staircases in Revit, determine nosing requirements and landings, configure four stair flights totaling 40 steps across the four flights from ground to first floor, and verify dimensions.

Load a three-dimensional lift family, ensure it is hosted on walls for 3d visibility, adjust shaft and car dimensions, and place and align elevators across all levels.

Turn off 3D furniture in large Revit projects and import 2D AutoCAD furniture, explode and group by level, then standardize visibility and line styles for cleaner plans.

Create a parametric multi-sink family in Revit by using wall distance and half-wall parameters. Align left and right sinks with a formula to space them according to the sink count.

Model and refine terrace mullions and curtain walls by aligning grids, applying a 100 cm elevation type, adjusting offsets, and validating positions across plan and elevation.
