Autodesk Revit – For the Beginner user, bringing them right up to an intermediate level.
Course Content
First, I will guide you through the installation process, ensuring you have installed the correct library and region template. I will be using the UK Metric library and templates but don’t worry if you want to use another. All the processes will be the same and if I use a component from the UK library that isn’t available in your library, I will always suggest one for you.
As with BIM, you work solely on one single project, so I have constructed this course in the same way.

As with BIM, you work solely on one single project, so I have constructed this course in the same way.
If you do not have previous experience with Revit or any CAD-based software, don’t worry. I will start off from the beginning building you up to be more than capable of creating your own Revit models.
The course will start off by giving a brief introduction to the fundamentals of a building, what BIM is, and then moving onto the basics of Revit; from the terminology that Revit uses to the tools and interface.
We will then begin to build on our project, introducing a new tool and feature as we progress.
Adding in the datum elements, such as the levels and grids.
Structural components, such as the Structural and Architectural columns
Major and Minor Components like the; walls, windows, doors, floors, stairs, ceilings, curtain walls, and roofs.
We will then take it to the next level and learn how to create 2D details, how to tag the components, create schedules & legends, creating render images and video walkthroughs.
Finally, we will set up our sheets and send it to print.
Alongside the videos, I have supplied you with course notes to follow along with as well as some files to work with.
As a recap, I have added a quiz to every section. This won’t affect your final certificate but will refresh what you have just learned.
Once you complete the course, why not test out your new skills by taking the final exam, consisting of 40 questions.
Finally, I continually update this course to keep it up to date with the new releases as well as add new videos.
I look forward to seeing you in class.

Subject: Upgrading the Revit file to your version
Dear Students,
I hope you're all doing well in your Revit studies!
I wanted to provide a quick guide on how to upgrade the Revit files I've provided that are saved in an earlier version. The reason for this is to ensure that all students, regardless of their Revit version, can access and work with the file.
Like some design software programs, Revit does not allow older versions to directly open files created in the newer version. Hence, I've saved the file in an earlier version, which is compatible with all Revit versions from 2018 upwards.
To upgrade the file, follow these simple steps:
1. Locate the Revit File: First, locate the Revit file that I've provided in the Files to Share folder.
2. Open the File: Double-click on the Revit file to open it. If you're using a newer version, Revit will recognize that the file was created in 2018 and prompt you with a message.
3. Upgrade the File: When prompted by Revit to upgrade the file, simply click on the "Upgrade" option. Revit will take care of the rest, ensuring that the file is compatible with your version.
4. Save the Upgraded File: After the upgrade is complete, save it immediately with a new name.
By following these steps, you'll have successfully upgraded the Revit file to a version compatible with your software. If you encounter any issues during this process or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, and I'll be happy to assist you.
Remember, keeping your software and files up to date is essential for a seamless collaborative learning experience. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to seeing your progress in the course.
A recap quiz of what we have just covered.

Reviews summary
Autodesk revit - beginner to intermediate level
This course is designed for beginners and intermediate learners, and most learners find it to be appropriately challenging. However, some learners with no prior experience in Revit may find some of the concepts difficult to grasp.
Learners appreciate the well-organized and engaging content of the course. The lessons are organized into logical units, and the instructor provides a clear overview of the material at the beginning of each lesson.
The instructor, Steve Fagan, is praised by learners for his clear and concise teaching style. He explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and he provides plenty of examples to illustrate his points.
The course includes a project that learners can follow along with to build a 3D model of a building. This hands-on experience helps learners to apply what they are learning and to see how Revit is used in the real world.
