Revit Architecture Essentials | Building | Session 1

Revit Architecture | Essentials – Buildings PLUS is a comprehensive 4 sessions x 3.5 hours (Total: 15 Hours) virtual course designed for beginners looking to establish a strong foundation in Revit for architectural workflows. Led by a Certified Autodesk Instructor, this course covers the essential topics required to work efficiently with Revit, providing comprehensive knowledge of modelling, drafting, and project management concepts that are fundamental for architectural design.

During this course, you will explore Revit’s interface and tools, gaining a solid understanding of the essential concepts for architectural project workflows. You will learn how to create and manage key design elements such as walls, floors, and roofs, while developing detailed documentation required for successful project delivery. As you progress, you will practise setting up a structured project foundation by establishing levels and grids, ensuring precise alignment of all components. The course will guide you through creating architectural views such as plans, sections, and elevations, which are essential for communicating design intent effectively. You will also refine your use of annotation tools, including tags, rooms, and dimensions, to ensure that all project details are properly documented. Furthermore, you will explore how to incorporate additional elements such stairs, railings, and openings, which are critical for both functionality and compliance. By developing your skills in creating detailed drawings, legends, and schedules, you will improve your project management and documentation, ensuring accuracy in material quantities and other important design data. Finally, you will learn how to organise your work into sheets and create camera views to present your projects professionally, making them ready for client approval or construction handover.

Upon completing the course, you will have developed a thorough understanding of how to use Revit to model and document architectural projects. You will be well-positioned to tackle more advanced design tasks, building on your foundational skills to create increasingly complex architectural designs.

This course is delivered in multiple sessions, and participants are encouraged to attend them in the recommended order to support consistent learning.

To join the course, participants will need basic computer skills and a solid understanding of architectural design concepts. No prior experience with Revit is required, but exploring the user interface beforehand is recommended.

During this session, you will explore the following topics:

• Module 1 – Introduction | Starting a Project | Levels | Grids: Learn how to set up a Revit project, starting with accurate levels and grids. Practise using Revit’s interface and project settings to establish a structured foundation, ensuring precise alignment of all project components. Understanding how to properly set up levels and grids is crucial for maintaining accuracy and consistency in your designs, leading to smoother project workflows.
• Module 2 – Walls | Doors | Windows: Learn how to create and modify walls, doors, and windows. Practise adjusting their parameters to fit specific design needs, ensuring that architectural elements are integrated smoothly into your projects. This module helps you gain control over these essential building components, making it easier to design spaces that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

Before the course, you will receive a Course Pack containing training notes and/or files that need to be downloaded prior to joining the training. Please note that our training sessions are not recorded to maintain the privacy of all participants.
