4/18/2016First, 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. Then author Paul F. Aubin helps you dive into modeling: adding walls, doors, and windows; using joins and constraints; creating and mirroring groups; linking to external assets and DWG files; and modeling floors, roofs, and ceilings.
Paul also shows advanced techniques for modeling stairs and complex walls, adding rooms, and creating schedules. Finally, discover how to annotate your drawings so all the components are clearly understood, and learn how to output sheets to DWF, PDF, or AutoCAD.

- [Voiceover] Hello, my name is Paul F. Aubin, and welcome to this course where we cover all of the essential skills that you'll need to use Revit for Architecture. Revit is the widely recognized industry standard computer application for architects and building design professionals. In this course, we'll start with basics like walls, columns, doors, and windows. We'll build floor slabs and roofs and learn how these forms interact with the other elements, such as the surrounding walls, elevator shafts, and even roof dormers in meaningful ways. And what building would be complete without stairs, railings, plumbing, and lighting fixtures? We'll even create our own custom components like a custom pool table.
But Revit is not just about modeling. I'll show you how you can annotate your drawings with text and dimensions and other standard architectural symbols. Revit allows us to generate live schedules of just about any part of the building model. We'll create construction details and compose sheets for printing out our document sets. So if you're ready to begin your journey into the world of Revit for architecture, you've come to the right place. Let's get started.
