Revit Course

Lesson 1 • Understanding Views and View Types

Explains floor plans, elevations, sections, 3D views, and schedules. Builds the conceptual model of how Revit organises building data across views.

Lesson 2 • Navigating the Revit Workspace

Covers the ribbon, Quick Access Toolbar, Properties panel, and Project Browser. Establishes spatial awareness of the interface as the foundation for all subsequent tasks.

Lesson 3 • Starting and Configuring a Project

Guides creation of a new project from a template and setting project units. Connects interface knowledge to real project initialisation workflows.

Lesson 1 • Creating and Editing Walls

Covers wall types, placement methods, and editing wall geometry. Walls are the primary vertical element and anchor all subsequent envelope components.

Lesson 2 • Wall Type Structure and Layers

Explains the layer-based wall structure editor and material assignment. Understanding wall composition enables accurate quantity takeoffs and construction documentation.

Lesson 3 • Modelling Roofs

Covers footprint roofs, extrusion roofs, and roof slope settings. Roofs complete the building shell and introduce complex geometry management.

Lesson 4 • Openings and Voids in the Envelope

Demonstrates shaft openings, wall openings, and vertical voids. Openings are essential for stairs, shafts, and penetrations in the building model.

Lesson 1 • Placing Doors and Windows

Covers loading families, placing hosted elements, and setting instance parameters. Doors and windows are the most common hosted families in architectural models.

Lesson 2 • Modifying Door and Window Types

Teaches duplicating types, editing dimensions, and assigning materials. Type customisation ensures project-specific components without creating new families.

Lesson 3 • Placing Furniture and Equipment

Introduces non-hosted component families and their placement logic. Furniture and equipment populate space plans and feed area and quantity schedules.

Lesson 1 • Creating Stairs by Component

Covers run, landing, and support components in the stair editor. Component-based stairs offer the most flexibility for complex configurations.

Lesson 2 • Ramps and Accessible Circulation

Demonstrates ramp creation and slope compliance for accessible design. Ramps share the stair workflow but require slope-specific parameter management.

Lesson 3 • Railing Design and Placement

Teaches railing types, baluster families, and top rail profiles. Railings are placed on stairs and landings and require separate type configuration.

Lesson 1 • Tags and Keynotes

Covers room tags, door tags, material tags, and keynote systems. Tags link annotation to model data, maintaining accuracy when elements change.

Lesson 2 • Dimension Styles and Type Properties

Teaches tick mark styles, text size, and unit format in dimension types. Consistent dimension styles ensure drawings meet office and industry standards.

Lesson 3 • Text Notes and Leaders

Explains text note placement, leader styles, and wrapping behaviour. Text notes communicate design intent and material callouts on drawings.

Lesson 4 • Dimensioning Strategies

Covers aligned, linear, angular, and radial dimension tools and their reference options. Accurate dimensioning is the primary communication tool in construction documents.

Lesson 1 • Reference Planes and Parameters

Teaches named reference planes, dimensions, and parameter assignment. Parameters drive geometry changes and are the core of parametric family behaviour.

Lesson 2 • Family Editor Environment

Introduces the Family Editor interface, reference planes, and category selection. The Family Editor is a separate environment requiring its own navigation skills.

Lesson 3 • Solid and Void Geometry

Covers extrusion, blend, revolve, sweep, and void forms in families. Solid and void combinations produce complex component geometry from simple sketches.

Lesson 4 • Nested Families and Shared Parameters

Explains nesting one family inside another and using shared parameters. Nested families enable modular design and shared parameters expose data to schedules.

Lesson 1 • Printing and Exporting Documents

Covers print settings, PDF export, and DWG export configurations. Output settings determine file quality and compatibility with consultants and contractors.

Lesson 2 • Placing and Configuring Viewports

Teaches dragging views onto sheets, setting viewport scale, and viewport types. Viewport configuration controls how model data appears in the document set.

Lesson 3 • Creating and Managing Sheets

Covers sheet creation, title block families, and sheet numbering. Sheets are the output containers that organise views for printing and distribution.

Lesson 4 • Callouts, Sections, and Detail Views

Demonstrates callout bubbles, building sections, and detail view creation. These views provide zoomed and sectional information required in document sets.

Lesson 1 • Linking and Managing Revit Models

Teaches linking architectural, structural, and MEP models and managing visibility. Linked models enable multi-discipline coordination within a single host file.

Lesson 2 • Clash Detection and Interference Checking

Demonstrates Revit's interference check tool and coordination workflows. Identifying clashes early reduces costly field conflicts during construction.

Lesson 3 • Conceptual Massing and Form Making

Introduces the conceptual massing environment and adaptive components. Massing enables early design exploration before detailed modelling begins.

Lesson 4 • In-Place Families and Complex Geometry

Covers in-place mass and component families for unique site-specific geometry. In-place families solve one-off shapes that standard families cannot accommodate.
