Revit Essentials

This course is a part of Revit Architecture: Core Skills , a 7-course Paths series from Pluralsight.

It's no secret BIM is transforming the way architects, engineers and builders design, document, and coordinate projects. The ability for all project participants to work and collaborate together on the same model has been revolutionary for the AEC industry. Fortunately, architects and engineers are not the only participants in the design process who can realize the potential benefits of BIM. In this course, you'll discover how you can use Revit to develop interior designs by taking a generic model with a low level of detail and transforming it to meet design intent. First, you'll learn how to quickly duplicate and rename views, as well as create section views of wall assemblies. Next, you'll begin the interior modeling process. You'll learn how to apply various floor finishes from you material library and you'll even create a custom floor finish from your own images. Finally, you'll learn about working with schedules to to leverage the data available to you in your information models. After watching this course, you'll be able to develop your designs more efficiently by knowing how to model detailed elements and materials, create high-quality rendered images, and even use model data to create schedules to aid in cost estimation. Software required: Revit Architecture 2016.
