Overview

This course will teach you the techniques you need to complete solid architecture projects in Revit.
First you will get comfortable with Revit environment and learn to set up a project and assign the grids, levels, and dimensions that will anchor your design. We will help you dive into modelling: adding walls, doors, and widows, creating, and mirroring groups, linking to external assets and DWG files, and working with floors, roofs, and ceiling.
We will show you advanced techniques for modelling stairs, complex walls and partially obscured building elements as well as adding rooms.
Add Materials to your walls and Floors as finishing and have their BOQ.
Finally, we will discover how to annotate your drawings, so all the components are perfectly understood and learn how to output sheets to DWF, PDF or AutoCAD
