Course Description
In this course, you will learn the basics of Revit. For these lessons, you can utilize either Revit or Revit LT 2022 as you begin your Revit journey. We’ll get started by describing Revit’s purpose as an application, and its one model concept. Next, you will go through the Revit application interface and learn how to navigate within its environment. You’ll create your first Revit project using template files and configuring its project information. You’ll discover what a datum element is and how to create a few types of those elements.
Additionally, you’ll create model elements, such as door windows and walls, and learn how to modify elements using Revit’s modify tools. This course also explains how to create a few types of views, such as sections and elevations. Finally, it covers how to use annotation tools to add text and easily create dimensions and symbols in your project. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills necessary to create your first Revit project from start to finish, from adding building elements to annotating views.
What You'll Learn
