Revit 2018 Tutorial Series

Revit 2018: Training for Structure
Revit 2018 is a great program for structural engineering, offering cutting edge tools for designing alternatives, building simulations, and publishing clear, easy-to-share documentation. This training 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’s structure.

Topics include:
– Linking architecture
– Creating levels
– Creating the 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 Revit 2018: Training for Architecture (Metric)
– 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

Revit 2018:
Take Revit’s skills to the next level with Revit Architecture 2018. This course, written entirely in metric units, teaches you the techniques you need to complete solid architectural projects in Revit 2018. 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 author Paul F. Aubin 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. Paul 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 drawing so all the components are perfectly understood,

Topics include:
– Understanding the 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
– Rooting and aligning Revit links
– Working With footprint and extrusion roofs
– Adding openings
– Adding railings and extensions to the stairs
– Creating stacked and curtain walls
– Hiding and isolating objects
– Adding rooms
– Creating schedules views and tags
– Adding text and dimensions
– Creating new families
– Using reference planes, parameters , and constraints
– Plotting and creating a PDF

Revit 2018: Training for Architecture (Imperial)
Learn the basics of using Revit 2018 for architectural design. This course is designed for students who have no prior Revit experience and want to work in imperial units (inches and feet). It’s 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 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,

Revit 2018: Training for MEP (Imperial)
This course focuses solely on the MEP version of Revit. In addition to learning MEP workflows and trade coordination that can apply to any trade, this course is also divided into specific trades, then into specific features for each trade. The trades covered are electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection. Find your specialty for direct training, or view all of the specialties to get a broader view of Revit’s capabilities.

Topics include:
– Electrical features
– Mechanical features
– Plumbing features
– Fire protection features
– Adopting Revit into your workflow
– Creating detailed views
– Importing
– Creating sheets
– Controlling revisions
– MEP fabrication parts.

Revit 2018: Training for MEP (Metric)
MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) design is one of the major components of the BIM chain-and Revit is the designer’s choice for many MEP engineers. This course focuses on the MEP features of Revit 2018, the latest version of the software. It’s designed for the novice user who prefers to work in metric units (meters, centimeters, etc.). You can dive into a particular trade, or take the whole course to learn about all aspects of the vast Revit MEP ecosystem. Upon completion, you will know how to design floor plans, design electric circuits and lighting systems, model air intake and exhaust systems, design plumbing plans, and design fire alarm and sprinkler systems, and document your designs for construction and fabrication.

Topics include:
– Electrical features
– Mechanical features
– Plumbing features
– Fire protection features
– Revit in your workflow
– Creating detailed views
– Importing
– Creating sheets
– Controlling revisions
– MEP fabrication parts

Revit Schedules
Schedules that display information extracted from the properties of different project elements are the backbone of the BIM. In this course, explore how to work with schedules in Revit. Focusing primarily on “I” for information in BIM, instructor Eric Wing demonstrating how to drill into the Revit database and query data out of your models. Eric covers a few standard schedules, such as door, window, and room schedules, and then dives into the specifics of Revit’s parameters, and how they relate to the underlying database that you have – perhaps unknowingly-developed by virtue of modeling your project. He goes into creating blank schedules, material takeoffs, keynote legends, schedule keys, and more.

Topics include:
– General schedules
– Adding and scheduling project parameters
– Imbedded schedules
– Configuring schedules
– Creating a blank schedule
– Material takeoffs
– Exporting schedules
– Documentation schedules
