Revit Architecture Essentials Course Description


Course Description:

The Revit Architecture Essentials training course is designed to teach you the Revit functionality as you would work with it in the design process. Begin by learning about the user interface and the Revit commands for design development, followed by those available for construction documentation. Since building projects themselves tend to be extremely complex, Revit Architecture is a necessarily a complex program. The objective of the Revit Architecture Essentials training course is to enable students to create full 3D architectural project models and set them up in working drawings. This training course focuses on basic tools that the majority of users need to work with Revit Architecture.

This course offers hands-on exercises representing real-world design scenarios.

Suggested Course Duration:         4 days
Trial CD:                                               Yes
Onscreen Exercises Included?      Yes


Training Objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:

  • Understand the purpose of Building Information Management (BIM) and how it is applied in Revit
  • Using the Revit Architecture workspace and interface Working with the basic drawing and editing tools in Revit Creating Levels and Grids as datum elements for the model
  • Creating a 3D building model with walls, curtain walls, windows, and doors
  • Adding floors and roofs to the building model
  • Creating standard and custom stairs
  • Detaling Reflected Ceiling Plans with ceilings and lighting fixtures
  • Adding component features, such as furniture and equipment
  • Setting up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, details, tags, and schedules
  • Creating details
