The Revit Fundamentals Course is your entry point into the world of BIM. Over two comprehensive courses, students gain skills in using Revit to design 3D models, create 2D construction documentation, and generate professional-grade presentation views. Through hands-on, project-based training, this course covers the core tools and workflows that lay the groundwork for more advanced Revit techniques.

  • Explore the Basics of Revit and BIM Integration: Begin with an introduction to Revit’s user interface and the foundational concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM). You’ll learn how to design a 3D building model, manage the interrelationships between components, and create accurate 2D documentation for your projects.
  • Create Detailed Architectural Models: Develop a project that includes designing floors, walls, ceilings, stairs, curtain walls, and roofs. You’ll gain proficiency in managing 3D modeling and 2D drafting while also learning to generate professional-quality architectural graphics and schedules.
  • Master Revit Workflow and Project Management Tools: Learn how to optimize your Revit workflow for efficiency and accuracy. From creating detailed construction documents to working with templates and project settings, this course helps you navigate the full Revit environment with ease.
  • Expand Revit Skills with Intermediate Techniques: Building on the basics, you’ll advance to creating more complex Revit elements, such as parametric families, custom schedules, and DWG integrations. This intermediate course focuses on refining graphics and mastering project documentation for large-scale projects.

Introduction to Revit (Self-Paced)

In this online Revit course, you will learn how information is interrelated throughout the Revit (BIM) model using the Revit Architecture tools. You will design 3D building models that simultaneously document the project in schedules and in 2D construction documents.

What You Will Learn
  • 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 that 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.
Course Information

In this Revit course, you will create a Building Information Model starting from a pre-made template, create floor plans, elevations and 3D presentation views, place views on sheets, and print drawing sheets to PDF. You will be provided both source Revit files, which you will use to start your project, as well as videos which will guide you through the learning process. There will be quizzes relating to your project as well as discussion forums in which you will be participating. You will receive a Revit Course Certificate upon completion. 

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.

Unit 2 30 Hours

Intermediate Revit (Self-Paced)

In this online BIM class, you will learn more advanced methods to document a project in Revit Architecture. Topics include scheduling building components, using the family editor to create 2D and 3D components, refining graphics, and creating an abbreviated set of construction documents.

What You Will Learn
  • 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.
Course Information

In this online intermediate BIM class, students explore more advanced methods of documenting a building project in Revit Architecture by revising and continue to develop an existing Revit model, exploring design options, creating custom schedules, and learn the skills required to create custom Revit families. By the end of this course, students will be able to turn a conceptual Revit model into integrated and interoperable construction document set.

You will be provided both source Revit files, which you will use to start your project, as well as videos which will guide you through the learning process. There will be quizzes relating to your project as well as discussion forums in which you will be participating. You will receive a Revit Course Certificate upon completion.
