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)

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.

Intermediate Revit (Self-Paced)

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.
