Course content

1 section • 19 lectures • 6h 46m total length

Introduction20:10
Explore how Revit enhances electrical project design alongside AutoCAD, and master the architectural and electrical templates, menus, and workflow from start to finish.
Architectural Drawing49:13
Explore architectural drawing in Revit electrical design, and progress from beginner to professional proficiency in this course.
Creating a Template34:30
Create and customize an electrical Revit template by loading the default metric file, upgrading it, organizing disciplines and sub-disciplines, and transferring project standards.
Calling Architecture15:05
Link architectural models into a Revit electrical template to draw over a clean, lighter shadow while preserving a stable file path and enabling automatic updates when architecture changes.
Multi-User Collaboration10:22
Editing Electrical Families19:31
Learn to organize and edit electrical families in Revit, adjust voltage from 120 to 230, and tailor lighting fixtures, switches, and outlets to local standards for seamless project integration.
Lighting, Socket and Panel Layout36:16
Creating a System31:51
Learn to create an apartment electrical system by assigning switches to lights and outlets, powering circuits from a panel, and routing wires with chamfered or arc views.
Creating Tags15:15
Learn how to tag electrical lines and devices in Revit by category, display line numbers and properties, and customize tag labels, borders, and colors within the electrical template.
Schedulers19:09
Learn to create and customize electrical schedules in revit, including material take-off lists, lighting fixtures, and panel schedules, then export to excel and manage discovery lists.
Fire Detection System Design26:43
Design a fire detection system in Revit, placing detectors, a panel, buttons, and strobe sirens, wiring a panel loop, and generating a detailed panel schedule.
Emergency Announcement System Design17:27
Design and place an emergency announcement system in Revit, adding speakers and cabinets, wiring, zones, and a panel schedule to coordinate with the fire detection and low-voltage system.
CCTV System Design14:25
Design a CCTV system within a ceiling plan by placing dome cameras, adjusting elevations, and wiring to a data cabinet, using defined CCTV cables and tagging for a camera schedule.
Piping Plan43:08
Learn to draw and arrange conduit layouts in a Revit piping plan, including cable trays, junction boxes, fittings, and vertical drops from panels to lights, outlets, and switches.
Cable Tray Design - Kopya12:26
Load the cable tray family, transfer the standards, and draw high voltage and weak current trays, then adjust widths and heights to match ceiling levels and view in 3d.
Creating Legends5:38
Create and manage legends in Revit using the view tab and annotate options. Import a prepared AutoCAD symbol list, set to 150 scale, and place labeled legends across all projects.
Creating a Layout11:46
Create and customize a one metric layout by editing the title block with your details, then place legends and plans, hide unwanted elements, and export the layout to AutoCAD.
Crating a Column Layout in Revit5:55
Learn how to create and place single line and principle diagrams in Revit by importing AutoCAD diagrams, creating legends, and adjusting scales—Dynamo concepts introduced in the next lesson.
Dynamo18:01
Learn to write a basic dynamo script inside revit to extract parameters, modify them in bulk, and export data to excel, enabling quantity take-offs, diagrams, and layouts.

Requirements

No prior experience with the program is required. You will learn everything in this course.

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

I have been working as a project manager in the field of electrical project design for many years. One of the most frequently asked questions I receive recently is how to design an electrical installation project with Revit. Since I noticed that there are not many proper resources on the internet regarding this subject, I decided to prepare this training set to inform my colleagues.

With the advancement of technology, Autodesk AutoCAD has started to become insufficient for project designs. Autodesk, realizing this need, introduced Revit as an alternative. Thanks to this software, it is possible to design all projects and disciplines in 3D. Although the demand for this program is increasing today, I observed that there are not enough training resources available.

You don’t need to be an engineer to participate in this training and learn the software. Having a basic knowledge of electrical terms will be sufficient. In this training, we will cover all stages of an electrical project designed with Revit, from the initial phase to final delivery. Once you successfully complete this training, you can confidently state in your job interviews or CV that you are capable of using Revit.

Before starting the training, you must have Autodesk Revit installed on your computer. All templates, families, and projects I use in the training will be shared with my students. I also pay attention to responding quickly to any questions that may arise during the training.
