Place doors and windows in Revit by loading parametric families, adjust sill and head heights, and manage wall wrapping and skirting.

Create straight and curved curtain walls with curtain grids, mullions, and curtain doors in Revit. Flip the glass to align with the 2D drawing and align grids using reference planes.

Create reflected and false ceilings in Revit, understand ceiling vs floor plans, set associated and finish floor levels, and place MEP fixtures—air terminals, sprinklers, and lighting—on the ceiling.

Create model in place elements in Revit to decorate columns and entrances, using extrusion and void tools, set working planes, apply wood finishes, and add model text.

Learn to model flat and sloped roofs in Revit, define spot elevations, apply screed and waterproof insulation, and set constraints, boundaries, and slope points for openings.

Learn how to model architectural finishes for concrete stairs in Revit, including tile tread and riser details, align with finished floor levels, and transfer stairs from linked structural models.

Master railing in Revit by configuring top rails, posts, balusters, and handrails, and using pick new host to create cant strips, angle fillets, curve stone, and road marks.

Learn to create ramps in Revit with ramp and floor tools, set constraints, adjust slope to reach level two, and apply epoxy gray and epoxy green road markings.

Explore topo solid and toposurface in Revit, comparing 2024–2025 with 2020–2023 workflows, linking survey site plans, and creating topo from sketch or CSV with contours and excavation quantities.

Plan and model external works in Revit, including external walls, flooring, grass and landscape features. Create sidewalks and curved stone, herringbone finishes, road connections, and the site plan.

Place parking accessories, toilet accessories, and restaurant furniture in a Revit project, load families, set hosts and elevations, and coordinate fixtures across basement levels.

Learn to coordinate architectural, structural, and MEP models by using Revit interference checks to identify clashes, export HTML clash reports, and guide subcontractors, with notes on Navisworks for larger projects.

Learn to create MEP openings in Revit both manually and with Dynamo automation, using elevation views and interference checks, then deploy parametric openings that can be tagged for drawing extraction.

Learn how to create and manage shop drawings by selecting appropriate title blocks, detailing sections, elevations, and 3D views, and aligning IFC drawings with a 1:100 ground-floor plan.

Learn to tag rooms and project elements in Revit, define room boundaries, assign room names and numbers, and create aligned, dimensioned plans across ground floor views and sheets.

Create area and functions sheets for the ground floor by duplicating a clean view, tagging rooms by area, applying color schemes, and adding color fill legends.

Learn to create a ground floor reflected ceiling plan in Revit, tag ceiling type marks, add height labels, hide grids, and place dimensions, then assemble the plan into sheets.

Learn how to create furniture and site plan sheets, tag and schedule furniture and plumbing fixtures, load tag families, and place spot elevations and contour labels for a restaurant project.

Organize the Revit project browser by discipline and subdiscipline, using a new subdiscipline parameter. Sort views and sheets by family and type to improve accessibility.

Split large projects into zones with scope boxes, create upper and lower part views on separate sheets, and connect them with break lines and view references.

Create and annotate sections and typical details in Revit, unhide elements, apply material tags, place break lines, and set precise dimensions. Compile sections and roof details on sheets for documentation.

Create toilet elevations and curtain panel elevations, tag builder's work and openings, and prepare sheets with precise dimensions and tags for a Revit project.

Create enlarged stair plans with clouds, place them on the ground floor, and generate sheets with two sections per flight, detailing risers and tread depths.

Master legends in revit by creating abbreviations and symbols for architectural elements, configuring scales and patterns, and placing floor, ceiling, and wall legends on sheets.

Learn to create doors and windows schedules in Revit, including adding legends, placing top and elevation views, setting scales, defining columns, and matching properties to generate accurate sheet schedules.

Learn to generate wall schedules and material takeoff reports in Revit per level, using fields like family, type, area, and pace constraint, with level-based filtering and exclusions for false ceilings.

Learn to generate wall material takeoffs in revit by selecting walls, using material name and area, excluding air, and organizing ground floor and future levels for progress monitoring.

Create material takeoff schedules for floors, ceilings, and roofs in revit, add material name and area, and group, sort, and filter by level for category-based quantity takeoffs.

Create and customize schedules for component families in Revit—doors, windows, furniture, toilet accessories, and plumbing fixtures—by reading element categories, sorting by family and type, filtering by level, and counting quantities.

Learn to monitor site progress in BIM with color-coded highlights, add a progress parameter in Revit, and generate progress sheets for cost control and project management.

Create a 3D Revit progress sheet by color-coding ground floor walls with a progress property (completed, in progress, next month) and add sheets, schedules, and a legend for finishes progress.
