Introduction of the workshop:

Revit is an industry-standard BIM platform that is preferred due to its user-friendly interface and ability to seamlessly integrate design, modeling, and documentation within a single environment.

Revit enables designers to create intelligent 3D models that store data for planning, coordination, and documentation, making it an ideal tool for learning foundational BIM principles.

By attending this course, you will learn BIM workflows and methodologies. By the end of this course, you will be able to execute a project from scratch in Revit and create project documentation using its integrated workflow to create a holistic project.

What You’ll Learn?

Understand BIM concepts and how Revit is used in practice.

Navigate Revit's interface and use essential tools.

Model architectural elements such as walls, doors, floors, roofs, and rooms.

Create and manage levels, grids, and views.

Annotate drawings with dimensions, text, and hatches.

Set up sheets and prepare drawings.

Understand project setup and best practices.

Methodology:

This course will follow a hands-on, project-based approach to ensure students learn through doing. Each session will combine:

Demonstrations with step-by-step modeling.
Following a live project course to reinforce key concepts.
Progressive Modeling Workflow, where the project is built from start to end.
Documentation Setup to simulate real-world project deliverables.

By the end of the course, students will have created their first architectural model and documentation set in Revit.
