Up and Running with Revit

- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Paul F. Aubin and welcome to Up and Running with Revit. If you're involved with the design and construction of buildings, you've probably heard about Auto Desk's Revit software package. In this course, we'll look at some high level skills you'll need to get Up and Running with Revit quickly. I've designed this course to work equally well with the full version of Revit, as well as Revit LT. So you can follow along with either version. I'll start by showing you how to open an existing project and find your way around using the project browser. This is like a table of contents for your project. Next, I'll show you how to create a new project file and begin creating your building model.

In Revit, you create a virtual model representing your project in full 3-D. We'll see how to study the model as it evolves using custom 3-D views and sections. We'll create documentation for my model that includes a dimension floor plan and schedules that capture critical quantities and help to validate the design. We'll be covering all of these features plus plenty of other tools and techniques. Now, if you're ready to get started, then let's get Up and Running with Revit.
