Learn the fundamental tools and steps to design a three-dimensional model in Revit Architecture 2016, including walls, doors, windows, ceilings, floors, roofs, and casework, with printing and CAD export.
Open the application menu to access recent files, create or open projects, and manage templates and families for efficient Revit workflows.
Navigate and organize all model views with the project browser. Open floor plans, sections, elevations, 3d views, and sheets, while managing multiple windows and synchronized updates.
Explore the viewing and drawing area in Revit by tiling and cascading windows, maximizing views, and switching between level 1 and level 2 floor plans via the project browser.
Customize the Quick Access Toolbar in Revit Architecture by adding, moving, and removing commands like text and model text, using separators, and placing the toolbar above or below the ribbon.
Learn to share a project base point in three-dimensional space to coordinate architectural, mechanical, and civil models. Use visibility graphics to locate, move, and set elevation so all models align.
Draw walls in Revit using architectural, structural, and wall by face options from the architecture tab. See how these walls display in different views and on mass object faces.
Explore wall types in Revit Architecture 2016, use the type selector to choose, edit, and preview layered materials, and switch wall types while updating views and schedules.
Draw interior partition walls in Revit, flip the wall to the exterior side, switch between finish face exterior and core centerline, use thin lines, and trim corners.
Learn to place a door in a curtain wall by loading curtain wall doors, merging panels, resizing for a 3-foot opening, and inserting a curtain wall single glass door.
Place a camera in a 3D view to capture exterior and interior shots with a cone of vision, adjust the offset, and manage camera views for interior renderings.
Place cameras to create perspective and non-perspective views in Revit Architecture 2016, toggle the perspective checkbox, and compare 3D views and elevation-like results via the project browser.
Duplicate views in Autodesk Revit Architecture 2016 using three options—duplicate with detailing, duplicate, and duplicate as a dependent—to manage text, dimensions, and tags across floor plans.
Learn to place a dependent floor plan view onto sheets in Revit, activate and modify the view on the sheet, then deactivate and adjust view order as needed.
Adjust view scales in Revit Architecture 2016, applying an eighth inch equals a foot or three thirty seconds of an inch equals a foot; annotations stay constant.
Learn to edit a floor boundary in Revit Architecture 2016 after drawing, using rectangle and line tools, adding holes with a circle, trimming edges, and reviewing in 3D.
Explore how roof type in revit defines construction materials, layers, and thicknesses; switch between steel truss and wood rafter 8 inch roofs, and edit layer properties in the assembly dialog.
In this Learning Revit Architecture 2016 training course, expert author Brian Myers teaches you how to use the powerful tools and features available in the latest version from Autodesk. This course is designed for the absolute beginner, meaning no previous experience with Revit Architecture is required.
You will start with a tour of the user interface, then jump into learning about column grids. From there, Brian will teach you about walls, doors and windows, including how to offset a wall, place a door, and adjust walls and columns. This video tutorial also covers topics including views, floors, roofs, ceilings, casework, and stairs. You will also learn about topography, rooms, and how to prepare and render a scene. Brian will then teach you about detailing, modify tools, and graphics. Finally, you will learn how to print and export to CAD, as well as how to link and insert CAD and Revit files.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of creating your own Revit models using the tools and techniques available in this software program from Autodesk. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
