- [Instructor] If you have access to the exercise files provided throughout this course, we've provided two complete versions. This version of the course is in imperial units, with imperial exercise files. We also have a version of the course in metric units, with metric exercise files. So feel free to watch the version of the course that matches the units that you use in your day to day work. The exercise files are in a folder that I've placed here on my desktop. Within that folder is a folder for each of the chapters throughout the course, and you'll find within those folders mostly Revit files. However, on occasion, there are files of other formats as well.
I'll instruct you as to what to do with each of the files throughout the videos that follow. If you don't have access to the exercise files, you can still follow along using your own files. So with that bit of housekeeping out of the way, let's get started.

4/13/2017First, 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.
