Autodesk Revit Architecture – Beginner To Intermediate

Learn Revit Architecture Through Hands-On Projects: Residential House + Office Building | Tools, Modeling & Sheet Setup

What you'll learn

Complete two full architectural projects (a single-story house and a multi-story office building) to reinforce skills with real-world practice.

Generate high-quality visual outputs, such as realistic renderings, solar studies, and animated walkthroughs to showcase design intent.

Use design documentation tools to produce professional-quality sheets, schedules, and annotations ready for presentation or construction.

Apply collaboration workflows, including worksharing, linked models, phasing, and design options for multi-user project environments.

Create and edit walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, and curtain walls in both residential and multi-story commercial projects.

Develop and manage custom Revit families, nested families, and annotation symbols to enhance project flexibility and consistency.

Confidently navigate the Revit interface and set up views, properties, and project templates for architectural modeling.

Organize project information and maintain BIM standards, including data management, project settings, and export configurations.

Requirements

No prior experience with Autodesk Revit is required—this course is designed for complete beginners and those looking to refresh their skills.

You will need access to a computer capable of running Autodesk Revit 2024 or a newer version. A free trial version is available from Autodesk’s website if you don’t already have it installed.

Basic familiarity with using a Windows PC (opening files, navigating folders, and using a mouse and keyboard) is helpful.

An interest in architecture, design, construction, or BIM workflows will make the learning experience more rewarding.
