Revit Architecture for Basic and Intermediate Users

Learn how to save a Revit project using quick access and the file menu, with Ctrl+S, local and cloud backups, and viewing the file name.

Explore global settings in Revit architecture, from general and user interface options to graphics, notifications, central synchronization, and customization of templates and appearance.

Navigate and inspect a Revit model using the navigation bar, compass, and steering wheel tools; control orbit, pan, zoom, walk through, and switch views like top, east, and perspective.

Explore the concept and functions of walls in building projects, learn wall types and properties, and define parameters to create and model walls within a building information modeling workflow.

Discover wall properties in Revit, comparing type and instance properties, adjusting location lines, base/top constraints, and room bounding; examine layers, materials, and analytical/structural options.

Create walls in Revit by selecting basic, architectural, or structural wall types, setting height and location, and drawing with lengths, angles, joints, and options for circular or polygon walls.

Explore wall sweeps and reveals in revit, building stacked walls from multiple basic walls, adjusting height, offsets, profiles, and openings to shape exterior brick and block walls.

Explore door properties in Revit, including instance and type properties, height and level constraints, materials and finishes, and how to manage construction parameters and visibility in a project.

Explore how windows serve as openings in walls, and manage their type and instance properties, load window families, and place and adjust windows across plan, section, elevation, and 3d views.

Learn to use the extend tools in Revit to connect and extend elements, including extending to a reference or boundary edge, and perform single or multiple extensions for clean connections.

Learn to add and array elements in Revit using linear and radial patterns, group and constrain objects, and apply alignment, rotation, splitting, and scaling to create precise layouts.

Create grids in a plan view to locate walls, spaces, and columns, using grid lines, numbers, and offsets to guide alignment across plan, section, and elevation.

Learn to edit grid properties in Revit, including symbols, segment types, and colors, and to customize bubbles, plan and section views, and assign custom grid types.

Learn how to create and edit elevation views in revit architecture, choosing interior or building elevations, aligning to walls, adjusting ranges, naming and scaling elevations, and using sketching options.

Explore creating and manipulating section views in Revit, using the section box, naming sections such as A, B, and C, flipping orientation, adjusting offsets, and detailing for architectural plans.

Learn to create drafting views in Revit to produce detailed fabrication and detailing drawings, place them on sheets, and use drafting tools for sections, scales, text, and annotations.

Explore duplicating views in Revit to support construction documentation, with options for duplicate, duplicate with detailing, and duplicate as dependent, highlighting independent versus dependent behavior and template assignment.

Learn to create and edit callout views in Revit, including colored rectangular callouts with boundaries, renaming and referencing views from plan views, and adjusting annotation, crop size, and scale.

Learn how architectural floors differ from structural floors, and how to create, edit, and view floors using boundary lines, slopes, levels, and related tools in Revit.

Explore creating stairs in Revit, including assembly, custom, and precast options, and learn to edit risers, treads, landing, profiles, and view plans, elevations, and sections for precise design.

Learn to create custom stairs in Revit by sketching boundaries, defining design and state options, and adjusting boundaries, rises, and openings through iterative edits.

Learn to create multi-storey stairs across levels, copy stair elements between levels, adjust connections, and visualize results in 3d.

Learn to create ramps in Revit architecture, set slope, length, and thickness, and define boundaries using line or property methods while checking overlaps and accessibility requirements.

Learn how to add components to a Revit project by using existing families or modeling in place, adjusting properties and types for stairs, railings, furniture, walls, and windows.
