Introduction
This course teaches the essential techniques to complete solid architectural projects in Autodesk Revit. First get comfortable with the Revit environment and learn to set up a project and add the grids levels and dimensions that will anchor your design. Subsequently modelling techniques will be covered including: adding walls doors and windows; creating and mirroring groups; linking to external assets and DWG files; and working with floors roofs and ceilings. Advanced topics such as modelling stairs complex walls and partially obscured building elements as well as adding rooms and solid geometry will be taught. In the last part of the course export project files to various format will also covered.
