Description

If you would like to quickly get on your way to producing full sets of working drawings for your clients using Revit, this course is for you. I am an Australian Building designer so this course will be taught using metric dimensions and Australian building techniques.

I work full time in the industry so you can have the comfort that what you will learn in this course will directly translate into what will be required of you working in the residential design industry in Australia. Even if your not in Australia i am sure this course will still provide you with great benefit and teach you some valuable revit skills.

This will help you go from a complete beginner having never used Revit, to completing and printing your first full set of plans. The project being completed in this tutorial is a small Granny flat, keeping it nice and simple for your first set. If you have any questions along your journey or would like anything else added to this tutorial while you are working through it, I will do my best to get you the info you need as quickly as I can.

I am in the process of making further more advanced tutorials that will slot in nicely after this one, to help further progress your Revit skills.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and i am sure it will be very helpful.

thank you
