Get up and running with Revit Architecture for cutting edge Architectural design. This course is designed for students who have no prior Revit Experience and want to learn the Basics.

Our instructor will help you get comfortable with the Revit Environment.

We shall then demonstrate how to setup a new project and add grids, levels, and dimensions that will help you anchor your design.

Then we will dive into modelling: by adding walls, and windows; using joins and constraints; create groups, linking DWG files and modelling floors, roofs and ceilings. We will also demonstrate advanced techniques for modelling stairs and complex walls, adding rooms and creating schedules and quantity take offs.

Finally discover how to annotate your drawings so all the components are clearly understood, as well as output sheets to PDF and AutoCAD.
