Revit Essentials: Core Concepts Covered in Training Courses

BySymetri
Autodesk

Revit training courses are designed as an introduction to BIM using Revit and provide the fundamentals of using the software or focus on niche areas.

Symetri conduct public training courses for Revit, and also offer customised Revit courses tailored to your needs. On completion of your Revit training, you will receive an Autodesk certificate of completion.

Revit Architecture

The Revit Architecture online course serves as an immersive and comprehensive learning platform that deep dives into the foundational principles of Revit, equipping participants with a strong grasp of its core functionalities. Tailored specifically to the architectural domain, this course is meticulously designed to enhance competency and effectiveness, enabling users to harness the full potential of Revit.

Through an engaging and step-by-step approach, this course offers a thorough introduction to project creation and setup, providing learners with the necessary knowledge to embark on their architectural endeavours within the Revit environment. Dive into the intricate process of constructing a dynamic 3D model from a 2D design, unravelling the techniques and methodologies essential to transforming visions into tangible virtual structures.

With a strong focus on architectural components, this course meticulously explores the intricacies of incorporating and manipulating these elements within Revit. From foundational elements to advanced features, participants gain a profound understanding of the tools and techniques required to seamlessly integrate architectural aspects and bring design concepts to life.

However, the course is not just for designing and modelling. It goes the extra mile by empowering users with the expertise to effectively present their 3D creations to clients. Users will also gain invaluable insights on strategically positioning and contextualizing architectural designs, ensuring seamless communication and comprehension between designers and clients.

The following aspects of Revit Architecture are covered in this training course:

  • Revit’s User Interface
  • BIM Model Setup
  • Work with System Families

Revit MEP

The Revit MEP course is a discipline specific course that places significant emphasis on familiarising users with the interface and fundamental aspects of HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components within the Revit MEP software. Through this training, participants gain extensive insights into the proper creation and accurate modelling techniques for these components within the Revit environment.

It is essential to note that this course is specifically tailored to individuals who already possess a previous knowledge of using Revit, ensuring an optimal learning experience for advanced users seeking to enhance their proficiency in the field.

This comprehensive course has been specifically designed to provide you with the necessary guidance, support, and expertise to effectively establish a strong and favourable starting position in Building Information Modelling (BIM) by utilising Revit. On this thorough course, you will be expertly guided through the step-by-step process of setting up a Revit project and creating intricate 3D MEP elements. Alongside the creation of the detailed model, participants will gain invaluable knowledge on generating accurate documentation that is essential for the project.

This course will enable you to improve your production of exceptionally realistic MEP visualisations, allowing you to showcase the finished project in a professional manner to your clients.

The following aspects of Revit MEP are covered in this training course:

  • Understand the Revit user interface and its basic drawing and editing tools. 
  • Understand how BIM differs from traditional CAD. 
  • Learn how to work efficiently with duct, pipe and tray modelling tools. 
  • Understand views and visibility.
  • Create sections and elevations with ease. 
  • Visualise your model in 3D and review alternative designs.  
  • Importing and linking architecture projects 
  • Use Revit’s Spaces to monitor flow rates and lighting levels.  
  • Display important engineering values in colour. 
  • Populate your project with equipment and air terminals and add intelligence to these systems. 
  • Choose between auto-generated and manual creation of duct and pipe networks.
  • Use Revit’s analysis tools to identify issues before automatically sizing a system.
  • Model electrical efficiently and add intelligence to these systems.
  • Define voltages, assign devices to circuits, track loads, and automatically create panel schedules.  
  • Create and analyse piping systems for sanitary, domestic hot, and domestic cold systems.
  • Use schedules to display accurate project information and drive change through the project.
  • Understand how tags can help in the early design stages of design.
  • Tips for working with text, dimensions, legends, drawing sheets, views.
