Revit Certification Course (Self-Paced)

This beginner-level Revit course offers an in-depth exploration of the interconnections within a Building Information Model using Revit’s architectural toolset. The curriculum supports development of a fully integrated 3D model that concurrently produces coordinated 2D documentation—such as floor plans, elevations, and rendered perspectives—while drafting and designing. Instruction commences with a predefined template, proceeding through setup of floor plans and elevations, generation of 3D views, assembly of drawing sheets, and exportation of deliverables to PDF. Comprehensive project files and step-by-step video tutorials facilitate each stage of the workflow.

• Describe Primary Revit Concepts and how they relate to Building Information Modeling (BIM).
• Explore the Revit User-Interface.
• Design a 3D building model to explain how information is inter-related.
• Determine the appropriate workflow to complete tasks within Revit.
• Develop a project which includes floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, curtain walls, and roof design to strengthen 3D modeling and 2D documentation skills.
• Create presentation level architectural graphics.
• Catalog building information using schedules.

If you are interested in Revit Certification (also referred to as BIM Certification), we recommend completing the Revit Certification Course series to be fully prepared for the Autodesk Certified User Exam for Revit.

This intermediate-level online BIM course delves into advanced project-documentation techniques within Revit Architecture. Building upon an existing model, the curriculum covers scheduling components, family-editor workflows for 2D and 3D content creation, graphic refinement, and assembly of a concise construction–document set. Through hands-on exercises, the course demonstrates how to transform a conceptual model into an interoperable set of construction drawings.

• Integrate DWG Files to create Revit details.
• Tag elements for cost estimation and material take-offs.
• Explore the capabilities of design options, and how to present different options.
• Create 3D parametric families.
• Build customized door, material, and room schedules that can be used for construction take-offs.
• Explore BIM project Management techniques to keep models efficient and user friendly.

This online Revit course is the first of two Construction Document courses, using the Revit Architecture tools. You will model an existing single story commercial building (importing AutoCAD drawings as a base) and also create a site model. You will continue learning Revit when you create the model for a significant two-story expansion to that first building model. This project scenario is typical of projects currently being handled by AEC teams who use Revit in their offices.

• Apply BIM modeling tools to create an architectural model, including existing building, partial demolition and a new construction.
• Build topography for a project using existing external files and develop a site plan, including hardscape and landscaping.
• Graphically differentiate phasing of a project from existing construction through new construction.
• Produce renderings suitable for presentation and documentation.

You will create construction documents for the commercial building and site created in BIM 301. You will create the sheet drawings and will add keynotes, detail drawings and schedules.

• Prepare a set of architectural construction documents incorporating the site and building models created in BIM 301.
• Develop progress sets of construction documents, reflecting 30/60/90/100 percent deliverable submittals.
• Produce plan, section, and elevation views of the project for sheet layout.
• Keynote elements of the project model. Develop schedules and a limited number of architectural details extracted from the BIM model.

This course examines how Revit users design 3D models that simultaneously document the project and generate 2D architectural drawings. This class consists of two main projects; we begin by exploring the Primary Revit Concepts by creating a small residential building, and then build upon and expand our skills by creating a 3D model of a commercial building, and presenting the model using floor plans, elevations, and 3D perspective views.

• Describe Primary Revit Concepts and how they relate to Building Information Modeling (BIM).
• Design a 3D building model to explain how information is inter-related.
• Develop a project that includes floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, curtain walls, and roof design to strengthen 3D modeling and 2D documentation skills.
• Catalog building information using schedules.
• Explore the Revit User-Interface.
• Determine the appropriate workflow to complete tasks within Revit.
• Create presentation-level architectural graphics.
