• Basic file operations such as creating a new project, opening existing projects, and saving projects.

Creating a Simple Project (2 Hours)-Day 3

• Setting up project units, levels, and other basic project settings.

• Creating a new project and setting up basic project parameters.

Basic Modelling in Revit (8 Hours) Day 4-7

• Placing architectural elements such as walls, doors, windows, and floors, using both sketch-based and component-based methods.

• Understanding constraints and dimensions while modeling to ensure accurate representation and maintain design intent.

• Introduction to basic modeling tools and techniques, including editing and modifying elements as needed.

• Applying materials to model elements to represent real-world finishes and textures.

Working with Families (4 Hours) Day 8-9

• Understanding families: what are they and how to use them.

• Exploring the Revit library for pre-built families.

• Inserting families into the project and customizing their parameters.

Working with Views (2 Hours) Day 10

• Introduction to different types of views: plan, elevation, section, and 3D.

• Navigating between views and understanding their properties.

• Creating new views and duplicating existing ones.

Tagging Rooms and Spaces (2 Hours) Day 11    

• Adding room and space tags to the model.

• Understanding room and space schedules.

• Customizing room and space tags for better documentation.

Adding Annotations (2 Hours) Day 12

• Adding dimensions to the model.

• Using detailed components for annotations.

Scheduling (2 Hours) Day 13

• Introduction to scheduling in Revit, including the concept of data extraction and organization.

• Creating and customizing schedules for various elements in the project, such as doors, windows, and rooms.

Massing and Site (2 Hours) Day 14

• Understanding site components such as topography and property lines, and how to incorporate them into the project.

• Placing site elements like roads, walkways, and landscaping to develop a comprehensive site plan.

Finalizing the Project (2 Hours) Day 15

• Generating basic drawings like floor plans and elevations to document the design and communicate it to stakeholders.

• Setting up sheets and organizing drawings into a cohesive set for printing or digital distribution.

• Closing the project and saving changes, ensuring data integrity and project continuity for future revisions.
