Course details

Autodesk Revit is the industry-standard tool for practicing building information modeling, or BIM. In this course, author and consultant Paul Aubin introduces you to all of the essential skills you need to begin using Revit to create architectural projects. This course is designed for those who have no prior Revit experience. Paul stresses the fundamentals that you need to get started, as well as good work habits. He covers the core concepts used in Revit, the basics of its user interface, starting a project, and modeling basics. Paul shows you how to include a variety of elements in your project, such as links, groups, stairs and railings in your projects, wall families, rooms, and much more. He dives into schedules and tags, annotation, and detailing, as well as how to share your work. This course presents the imperial version of the product for US audiences—a metric version of the product is also available.
