Revit Architecture 2026 [Animated Lessons]

Master Revit drawing tools from the architecture tab to model walls and other elements with line, rectangle, circle, and arc tools, while configuring thickness, width, height, and materials.

Use temporary dimensions in Revit to adjust distances and angles of walls and radii by manipulating blue dimension values. They apply to the selected sides, and dragging endpoints updates spacings.

Learn to select objects in Revit using the Modify tool, add with Ctrl, remove with Shift, and refine picks with left and right selection boxes, filters, and tab cycling.

Explore how to modify objects in Revit using tools such as align, move, copy, rotate, mirror, offset, array, scale, trim, extend, split, pin, and delete.

Temporarily hide and isolate elements using the view control bar to focus on selected items, with a cyan border indicating active tools and easy reset to original visibility.

Use snaps in Revit Architecture 2026 to click on end points, midpoints, intersections, and center points, with square, triangle, cross, and circle cues, and manage snaps from the manage tab.

Set up levels in Revit to define floor levels and organize elements. Create and adjust levels with level head and tail and offset parameters to position floors and roofs.

Draw a wall in the architecture tab, set base and top constraints with offsets, and use section view to verify height and consider unconnected tops or a slanted wall.

Learn to define wall assemblies by creating and organizing layers with core, exterior, and interior roles, set thickness and material, and create new wall types in Revit.

Explore curtain walls in Revit by building a glazing screen with panels, grids, and mullions, and learn layout options like fixed distance, fixed number, maximum spacing, and minimum spacing.

Explore aligned and linear dimensions in Revit to measure distances along orientation, horizontally, or vertically. Learn to select elements, switch to wall faces, and adjust references with the type selector.

Master the angular dimension in Revit architecture 2026. Distribute objects at equal angles with EQ and override values using text or text plus numbers, with prefixes or suffixes.

Learn to measure arcs and circles in Revit using the radial tool to show radius, the diameter tool, and the arc length tool to place dimensions in a clear space.

Explore placing and editing spot elevations in Revit Architecture 2026 to show object elevations to the base or sea level, using leaders and shoulders, prefixes, and on/off controls.

Use the text tool in Revit Architecture 2026 to add and edit text with the annotation tab, leaders, and alignment. Apply spell check, formatting, bullets, and the multi-text alignment feature.

Explore how Revit tags show type and instance parameter values beside objects in plans, sections, and elevations using tag families and category-specific tags.

Draw detail lines from the annotate tab and model lines from the architecture tab, noting 2D versus 3D visibility. Convert line types in the modify tab to switch between them.

Learn to create masking and filled regions in Revit Architecture 2026, draw outlines, apply line styles, edit boundaries, and control pattern colors, masking, and transparency.

In Revit, insert a DWG as 2D or 3D, choosing link CAD to keep updates, set units, layers, and placement, and use the CAD contour lines to generate site topography.

Create site topography in Revit using the massing and site topography tools, manually edit the top of solid from sketch or import contour data from a linked CAD file.

Create a project property line in plan views using the property line tool, sketch boundaries from a DWG, and adjust visibility to display on all floors and reflected ceiling plans.

Use the subdivide tool to create a surface above the top of a solid along road lines, then assign an asphalt material and set its height to 100 mm.

Organize views by creating sheets, placing views as viewports with title blocks, and assigning sheet numbers and names while managing titles, view names, and scales.

Create elevations from a plan view in Revit and place elevation marks to show exterior building sides. Adjust crop regions and sheet placement for full geometry.

Create and edit sections in Revit, adjust crop regions and extents from plan view, split section lines for segmented runs, and manage details (detail number and sheet number) on sheets.

Learn how view range uses cut plane, bottom plane, top plane, and depth plane to show or hide floor plan content, including garden objects, caseworks, and windows.

Explore graphical display options in Revit Architecture 2026, including view-specific visual styles, edge visibility, transparency, line outlines, shadows, sketchy lines, depth cueing, lighting, sun and artificial lights, and background choices.

Explore depth cueing in Revit to visualize object distance in sections and elevations, using near, gradient, and far zones with fade controlled by sliders.

Explore Revit 2026's new features—from flexible wall joints and room-based wall creation to topo solid improvements. Learn to manage CAD imports, sheet automation, view placement, and improved workflow controls.
