Revit Architecture Modern House Design Course + Lumion

Master the quick access toolbar in Revit to access home, open, save, undo, redo, print, export pdf, and dimension tools, with pinning and unpinning guidance.

Explore the Revit file menu to create new projects or families, open existing files, save, export to CAD or PDF, print, and manage recent documents and options.

Explore the ribbon toolbar in Revit, navigate architecture and structure tabs, and access architecture panels like Build, Circulation, and Model, plus structure tools for future lectures.

Explore how to enable and use the project browser palette in Revit, including activating it via the view tab and navigating floor plans, elevations, and templates to organize your project.

Enable the property palette from the view tab, drag and drop it, and use the project browser with it to select elements and edit properties via the type selector.

Explore how the ribbon temporary contextual tab appears under the architecture tab when you select a tool, helping you create walls and doors in Revit.

Explore how the option bar presents tool-specific options for wall and door tools in Revit architecture, with shortcuts like the escape key and star.

Discover how the status bar acts like a command line in AutoCAD, guiding tool selection, start points, live changes, escape to exit, and saving progress in Revit Architecture.

Learn to use the view control bar in Revit to adjust scale, detail level, visual style, and crop regions, then manage visibility, hiding, isolating, and constraints on walls.

Learn to use the selection control bar in Revit to manage linked objects, underlay element, and pinned elements, switch selection by phase, drag elements, and filter selections.

Navigate the drawing window in revit. Switch between floor plan, ceiling plan, 3D view, and elevation, and manage active vs inactive windows with tile and tab views.

Explore the context menu in the drawing area by right-clicking to access tools, select any element, and uncover more context menu options as you progress through the course.

Learn precise zoom controls in revit using the mouse center button and right-click options such as zoom region, zoom to fit, and zoom all to fit.

Learn to pan across any area by pressing and holding the center mouse button, moving in any direction, then releasing to place.

learn to orbit around the model in the 3d view by holding the shift key and the middle mouse button, then moving the mouse to explore all angles.

Explore the view cube in Revit to switch between top and side views, save and set home views, and orbit with orthographic and perspective options.

Explore how to use the Revit navigation wheel to zoom, orbit, pan, look, and move through perspectives, with tips to open, close, and customize the full navigation wheel.

Master a 22-step house project in Revit architecture, from datum creation and foundation to walls, roof, stairs, and interior design. Learn to produce drawings, 3d views, and schedules for estimation.

Start a new house project in Revit by selecting the imperial architectural template, saving to desktop, and configuring project units, slope, and degrees with project browser and properties.

Create and name multiple levels in Revit, set elevations and scale, and apply finished floor level, ground floor, lintel, roof, footing, and parapet labels per the south elevation.

Create longitudinal and transverse grids for the project in Revit, then adjust dimensions and labeling from A to F, set spacing to 12 ft and 6 ft, and finalize constraints.

Learn to create an isolated pad footing in Revit, with a 2 ft by 2 ft base, 1 ft thick, placed at level one across grids using a structural plan.

Place and customize concrete foundation columns in Revit by loading the structural column family, duplicating types for 9x9 and 1x1 feet, and placing them below ground level.

Learn to create foundation beams in Revit by selecting concrete rectangular beams, duplicating the foundation beam type, setting dimensions, and aligning beams to grid lines for longitudinal and transverse layouts.

Create the level-2 ground floor slab in revit by layering concrete, cement mortar, and marble, using a quick model-in-place or multi-layer approach and applying materials via the material browser.

Create and place structural columns by duplicating the column type, removing foundation constraints, and sizing; copy to all locations, adjust base and top levels, and review in 3D view.

Create ground-floor walls in Revit by duplicating a wall type, defining core boundary, and applying exterior and interior plaster materials, then place primary and secondary walls per the floor plan.

Create a flat roof in revit by footprint, set a six-inch roof with cast-in-place concrete and cement mortar, then apply roofing tiles via the appearance library.

Create a parapet wall above the roof, set it on level five with a nine-inch wall, and attach top to base to align above the roof, then view in 3D.

Create a Revit staircase from ground floor to roof by setting seven inch risers, one foot tread depth, and three foot run width, including landings, winders, materials, and handrails.

Create a staircase cutout in Revit by editing the footprint, trimming or extending to corners, joining components, and verifying the result in a 3D view.

Create architectural columns in Revit, differentiate architectural from structural columns and their load transfer, and assign size, material, and levels from finish floor to roof.

Create a wall near an architectural column in revit, using a 9 inch wall and 7 by 8 inch column-wall dimensions, with edit profile and 3D clash resolution.
