Revit Structure Essentials | Building | Session 1

Revit Structure | Essentials - Buildings is an intensive 4 sessions x 3.5 hours (Total: 15 Hours) virtual course designed for professionals seeking to develop their skills in structural design and documentation using Revit. Led by a Certified Autodesk Instructor, this course provides a solid foundation in Revit’s core tools and workflows, enabling you to initiate and manage structural projects effectively.

During the course, you will explore Revit’s user interface and core functionalities, learning how to create and modify essential structural elements such as walls, slabs, columns, beams, foundations, and openings. You will develop practical skills in modelling stairs and railings, as well as in implementing basic steel connections to ensure structural integrity in your designs. Additionally, you will understand how to manage bracing and apply reinforcement detailing, ensuring compliance with industry standards. As you progress, you will gain confidence in generating construction documentation, including structural plans, sections, and elevations, to effectively communicate design intent to construction teams and stakeholders. You will also practise using essential documentation tools, including tags, legends, dimensions, and schedules, to organise and present project information in a clear and accessible format. These foundational skills will set the stage for the successful delivery of quality outputs across various building projects.

Upon completing the course, you will have developed the fundamental skills necessary to create precise construction drawings, manage key structural components, and apply industry-standard detailing techniques. This strong foundation will prepare you to take on more advanced structural design challenges and further expand your Revit knowledge.

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 structural engineering concepts. No prior experience with Revit Structure 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 | User Interface | Levels | Grids | Reference Planes: Discover how to navigate the Revit interface and set up structural projects effectively. Learn how to create levels and grids to provide the necessary framework for your designs. This module also covers reference planes and their role in organising geometry, ensuring accuracy throughout the project lifecycle. You will practise applying these elements to manage the overall layout and coordination of your structural model.
• Module 2 – Walls | Slabs | Foundations | Openings: Learn how to create and modify walls, slabs, and foundations, key components of structural designs. Understand how to incorporate openings in these elements, ensuring the structural integrity of your model. You will also practise placing these elements in your design and modifying them based on project 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.

As an Advantage member, you receive complimentary access to course-related eLearning materials to support your knowledge retention. Login details to the e-platform are provided upon joining ARKANCE Advantage.

ARKANCE, an Authorized Autodesk Training Center, delivers high-quality training for Autodesk software users. To receive an official ARKANCE Certificate of Completion — a recognition of your commitment to ongoing professional development — you must attend all parts of the course.

Participants joining this course virtually will need:

• Revit '22 or higher, or Revit LT '22 or higher installed on their computer (required). We strongly recommend that participants join using the most recent version of the software. Please contact us if you need to purchase a software licence.
• The latest Zoom version installed on their computer (required).
• A stable internet connection with a minimum download speed of 10 Mbps (required).
• A secondary screen to follow instructions shared by the course instructor during training, along with a mouse for easy software navigation (recommended).
• A headset to ensure clear communication with the instructor, and preferably a microphone and webcam for interactive conversations (recommended).

Our Courses and Deep Dive sessions are delivered virtually by Autodesk Certified Instructors, Bluebeam Certified Instructors, and experienced Subject Matter Experts. These regularly scheduled sessions are only available to Advantage customers and are not open to the public, meaning you will attend alongside other Advantage members who have registered.

Alternatively, all our courses can be organised privately for your team, following either a standard agenda or a customised curriculum tailored to your specific requirements. Private training sessions are available both virtually and in-person.
