REVIT: ARCHITECTURE (METRIC)

Learn the basics of using Revit for architectural design. This course is designed for students who have no prior Revit experience and want to work in metric units (meters, millimeters, etc.). It is a beginner's course that approaches Revit from the ground up. Fundamentals and good work habits are emphasized every step of the way.

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. Then course teacher helps you dive into modeling: adding walls, doors, and windows; creating and mirroring groups; linking to external assets and DWG files; and working with floors, roofs, and ceilings.

Course teacher also shows advanced techniques for modeling stairs, complex walls, and partially obscured building elements, as well as adding rooms and solid geometry. 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.

Topics include:

•  Understanding BIM and the Revit element hierarchy
•  Navigating views
•  Creating a new project from a template
•  Adding walls, doors, and windows
•  Adding plumbing fixtures and other components
•  Linking AutoCAD DWG files
•  Rotating and aligning Revit links
•  Working with footprint and extrusion roofs
•  Adding openings
•  Adding railings and extensions to stairs
•  Creating stacked and curtain walls
•  Hiding and isolating objects
•  Adding rooms
•  Creating schedule views and tags
•  Adding text and dimensions
•  Creating new families
•  Using reference planes, parameters, and constraints
•  Plotting and creating a PDF

REVIT: MEP (METRIC)

MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) design is one of the major components of the BIM chain—and Revit is the design tool of choice for many MEP engineers. This course focuses on the MEP features of Revit, the latest version of the software. It's designed for the novice user who prefers to work in metric units (meters, centimeters, etc.). The videos are broken down into trades, as follows:

•  Electrical
•  Mechanical
•  Plumbing
•  Fire protection
•  General MEP workflows and trade coordination

You can dive into a specific trade, or take the entire course to learn about all aspects of the vast Revit MEP ecosystem. Upon completion, you'll know how to create basic floor plans, design electric circuits and lighting systems, model air intake and exhaust systems, create plumbing plans, and design fire alarm and sprinkler systems, and document your designs for construction and fabrication.

Topics include:

•  Touring the Revit interface
•  Linking to other models
•  Creating floor plans
•  Adding electrical panels, circuits, lighting, switches, conduit, and cables
•  Creating a mechanical project
•  Adding air terminals and ducting
•  Sizing and tagging ducts
•  Creating a plumbing view
•  Adding supply piping and sanitary piping
•  Creating fire protection fire alarm systems
•  Adding sprinklers
•  Importing CAD models in Revit
•  Working with text and dimensions
•  Modeling fabrication parts        

REVIT: STRUCTURE

Revit is a great program for structural engineering, offering cutting-edge tools for creating design alternatives, building simulations, and publishing clear, easy-to-share documentation. This course focuses on the major components of Revit used for structural design and is designed for the user who prefers to work in imperial units (inches and feet).

Starting with referencing an architectural model, you'll learn how to add foundations, rebar, and framing; set up views and drawings; model slabs and trusses; and build a whole lot more. This course is designed for members with no Revit experience, or for more advanced users who want to jump to a topic and start from there. Either way, this comprehensive course will teach you what you need to know to be dangerous in Revit structure.

Topics include:

•  Linking architecture
•  Creating levels
•  Creating view templates
•  Adding and placing steel columns
•  Creating foundations, with footings, piers, pilasters, and slabs
•  Designing retaining walls
•  Adding beam systems
•  Tagging steel framing
•  Creating a slab floor
•  Cantelivering slab edges
•  Reinforcing with rebar
•  Adding brace frames
•  Creating stairs and ramps
•  Detailing and annotating drawings
  
•  Inserting AutoCAD geometry
•  Creating schedules
•  Adding and attaching trusses
•  Plotting and sharing files
